He's only in one or two scenes I think, but the song Matt Damon sings in Eurotrip steals the entire movie.
Side note: don't watch Eurotrip. It doesn't hold up. At all.

My vote goes to Shooter as well. Twenty-five years on and he is probably now the most memorable part of the movie for a lot of people. My coworker and I just tossed out some primo quotes only yesterday.
While they themselves aren't necessarily funny, they are antagonists from comedies, and I would definitely classify them as memorable:
AKA
Though I would ague that, situationally, Gozer the Gozarian finding itself manifested into the body of a 100-foot marshmallow man is definitely funny and obviously played for comedy.

Yanosh fits the most out of these, he appears throughout the story and is genuinely funny. Gozer is *weird* and the Stay Puft Man is a good gag but neither are characters. EPA Guy also barely appears.
I think there are a ton
He wasn't a villain. Everything he did was in service of the greater good.
Walter Peck runs throughout the movie and is the reason the cross rip even happens in the first place. Gozer is the Big Bad of Ghostbusters but its coming only happens because of the constant meddling and harassment from Peck. I've always thought he was funny but on reflection it's kinda he's more the catalyst for other's jokes instead of actually being funny himself. Hmmmmm
You're right that Gozer & Vigo only really actually show up at the end with next to zero characterization, though, so yeah they don't fit the equation very well. I was mainly going off just "memorable villains from comedy movies" which they tick the boxes of, but yeah they just don't actually do much outside of show up at the end to fuck everything up lol.
Yanosh definitely fits the best for sure. The others are like the buzzing of flies to him!
The Great Volare (I knew him back when he was The Pretty Good Volare) from Brain Donors.
The Mouse from Mouse Hunt.
Sig Ruman as Heinrich Stubbel in A Night in Casablanca. Sig is noteable because he actually played comedy antagonist to the Marx Brothers in several films, including A Day at the Races and A Night at the Opera.
