Can’t have this event without a pirate involved, and who else would make the list, Jack Sparrow? Heck no! We’ll have a man who with a name that no one will know how to say the first time, or every time if you’re a character in the series (Thriftweed? Gorbush? Threekwood?) Guybrush Threepwood is that pirate.
Guybrush Threepwood is a mighty pirate. So mighty that he can hold his breath for ten whole minutes (his one skill). He is the character you play in an adventure games series called Monkey Island. Threepwood is a man who dreams of being a mighty pirate, but he has no skills for the job what so ever. Other than his long breath skill, Guybrush must rely on his wit and smart-aleck speak. Like all adencture games he must talk his way out of everything or use odd objects to do odd things (what good is a rubber-chicken-with-a-pulley-in-themiddle anyway?).
His the stories, Guybrush falls for a beautiful pirate-governor Elaine Marley. Luckily for him (or Unluckily), he has plenty of chances to prove himself because a ghost-zombie-demon-pirate LeChuck LeChuck keeps kidnapping her.
Why do we like him? His witty comebacks. The oddness and dorkiness he has all the while keeping his misplaces ego. He can fit more items in his pants than even Solid Snake. His insult sword fighting skills and the ability to get the girl even though he is a idiot and misfit.

I am surprisid Guybrush made the list. I disagree with him only having " one skill". insult sword fighting, street smarts of using stupid items to useful ends. This odd hero diserved a spot on this list. Posted by:DM
I disagree with the "one skill comment" as well. C'mon, the guy survived the perils of the 3 pirate trials, single-handedly sailed a ship (if you can call it that) to the uncharted Monkey Island(tm), found Herman Toothrot's lost banana picker, Rescued the governor, and defeated the ghost pirate LeChuck. I won't even go into the heroics he displayed in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th enstallments of the game. I'm glad he made the list.
You fight like a dairy Farmer!
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
Guybrush is an awesome hero and deserves to be on the list. I mean come on anything that Lucas Arts puts out has to be good...right? ok bad example but he still is awesome and so are the Monkey island games. But I was kinda hopin that Governor Marley made the list cuz she seemed to be the real hero of the games.
