Why Obito Was So Funny As Tobi

Why Obito acted so funny when he was Tobi? When Obito disguised himself as a member of the Akatsuki he adopted this funny personality. Tobi is the funniest character in Naruto Shippuden, and probably of the entire Naruto series. It's only after Tobi is thought to be dead after the Sasuke vs Deidara fight that we get the reveal Tobi is Madara.

He wasn't actually Madara, this was Obito faking it once more. We see fights like Tobi vs Konan, Tobi vs Naruto, Obito even declares war against the Ninja World, starting the 4th Great Ninja War, and we still think he is Madara. Let's find out more about Obito's several disguises.

What's the funniest Naruto moment?

[lightyoshiman]

Let's be real Obito acting like tobi was probably the most fun he's had his entire life and that fun was cranked up to 11 when he got the chance to troll kakashi and his team

[shadowsun]

Tobi at 8 am - Troll Deidara

Tobi at 6 pm - ordering PAIN to collect Biju

[carlosa.]

I always found hilarious how he dodges Sakura and screams “Ole!”

[giannixx]

Obito: "The world is hell, I'm in hell, nothing really matters, you let Rin die"

Also Obito:

I wish we've gotten an interaction between Edo Deidara and White Mask Obito.

[Abdega]

I like how Obito has a very serious side to him, but when it comes to Deidara he’s like “I really want to mess with this guy”

[darkstriker]

Obito deceived people with a fake personality, concealed his identity, and manipulated people from the So basically he was a ninja.

[philbuttler]

I like to think Tobi was Obito killing time until he needed to be more directly involved with the plan. And the idea he was like I'm gonna go troll Deidara is a better character moment than him having some 4D chess reason he was Tobi outside deflecting suspicion. It really feels like it matches up with him generally being a traumatized child who never really got past how bad his childhood was. He decided to go relive it via being an exaggerated goofy version of himself..

[takeshikujo]

I always wished that we could have seen a reunion between him and Deidara in the war arc. Just imagining how shocked, scared and pissed Deidara would be to find out he was actually partnered up with an Uchiha who was playing him like a fiddle *without* having to rely on the Sharingan.

The epic burn Obito would give in response would have been glorious. 🤩

[SryBut]

I liked Tobi.
He was so positive in the rather dark Akatsuki.

And he showed Deidara, how Deidara looked in the eyes of Sasori.

[moonythegemini]

There is one scene where Tobi breaks character as he and Dedara ride off with the tailed beast that was inside of Rin if I remember correctly. He becomes incredibly stoic and rides on the tailed beast in silence which Deidara even noted as being uncharacteristic

[giannixx]

Modulating one's voice seems to be a fairly standard ability in Naruto, probably an E-Rank jutsu. We see Yamato adjusting his voice to match that of Sasori/Hiruko, but we see as early chapter 2 Naruto transforming himself into a woman, who I presume would have a female voice. In the anime, he does. It seems to be related to, or used in conjunction with, the Transformation Jutsu, so there's nothing special about Obito also being able to do it.

[hades]

I read somewhere the theory that Obito sometimes had spiral Zetsu pose as Tobi when he had to be somewhere else and because spiral Zetsu would always act like himself, Obito also had to act like spiral Zetsu when he was Tobi, so that it wouldn't be weird that sometimes Tobi is an absolut goofball and sometimes he isn't.

[Very_Hauntly]

Dygo I don't know if this is foreshadowing, but actually when Deidara captured the 3 tails, Deidara made a comment I can't remember, and Obito stayed quiet, which is unusual since he is goofy, but he may have did that because the 3 tail was inside Rin and it may have foreshadowed his and Kakashis backstory as it pertains to her death because of the 3 tails burden

[tacogodboomdogg]

Hinata should've been like:"Oh shit, he's got a sharingan." When she encounters him.

[Haux.]

I don't think Obito was ever planning to revive Madara, He was going to perform the infinite tsukoyomi by himself, Kabuto f-ed up.

[fizzle]

Tobi is (to me) a rare example of a character that's exponentially better when you revisit the series. He's hilarious. I think it's white zetsu though.

[JakeSmith-mqdc]

I assume that Obito just got to know Spiral Zetsu's character even better as he was literally acting as his body support for who knows how long. Talking into his ear from time to time. Compiled with all of the time in the cave when Obito got attached, and I imagine that the Tobi persona simply provided Obito with some levity. His plans are working, but they are years in the making, this is simply how he amuses himself, on top of everything else.
I kind of wish the Tobi persona reappeared for those reanimated Deidara interactions. Also imagine being Deidara and realizing Tobi is now leading the Akatsuki. That would make me want to go back into the ground, immediately.

How did you guys react back in the day when you found out goofy tobi was akatsuki's mastermind all along?

[kazekagekid]

Acting seems like a pretty important ninja skill, tbh. They can do transformation jutsu in the academy, so you’d assume they’d also try to work on playing a character to avoid being discovered.
