Over the past 20 years, fans have tuned in to watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as they introduce new singles to an eligible bachelor or bachelorette in the hopes of making a love connection. The dating reality show centers on the singles as they attempt to get to know each other and fall in love while also dealing with the drama and arguments that naturally ensue. Even though the show has been on TV for 20 years, fans are still enamored with the idea of a long-lasting love being found between two hopefuls.
Throughout the series, many single women have been introduced to hopeful bachelors but some of the women are remembered long after they are eliminated. Some of the female contestants are unforgettable because of their antics or charisma, but most are remembered for their hilarious sense of humor and ability to connect to viewers. So who are the funniest ladies to have been on The Bachelor and what made them so memorable?
Victoria Larson
During season 25 of The Bachelor, fans were introduced to Victoria Larson. The self-proclaimed queen made a statement during the First Impressions by being carried in like the royalty she claimed to be. Despite being slightly dramatic, she was also funny and did not always make jokes at the expense of the other contestants.
Larson impressed fans by being extremely confident, bold, and speaking her mind often. Larson did have a negative side to her, but she also stayed true to herself throughout her time on the show. Larson was eliminated during week 4, and even though she wasn't the funniest lady from the series, she definitely had her moments and is memorable to fans of The Bachelor.
Stacey Elza
Even though her time was short of season 12 of The Bachelor, Stacey Elza was hilarious and memorable for her outgoing personality. During the cocktail party, she boldly snuck a pair of panties into Matt Grant's pocket. Her thought process was that she would stand out among the other women and seem more outgoing to Grant.

Ashley Salter
During the 19th season of The Bachelor, fans will remember Ashley Salter as an interesting contestant. She would wander around the grounds of the Bachelor house randomly and interrupt Chris Soules' interviews with the other women. However, fans will remember Salter's hilarious speech about onions.
Salter's speech described the similarities between onions and people and how the more layers you peel back of a person, the more you learn about them.
