It might be humor thing. I find Larian games painfully unfunny. I find comments above about BG3 writing needing less humor confusing, as I spotted little humor in BG3. On the other hand Minsc makes me chuckle, even nowadays. Minsc is a daft character, Astarion seems to be written daftly - unless he is supposed to be incompetent, annoying little shit.

Exactly the point, Minsc had a prior brain injury and was written as so. I would say the writers explored his personality trait well and he had a superb voice acting to begin with.

Astarion on other hand was supposed to be the evil character, but he is filled with silly humor lines, hand maneirisms and a voice directing that also pushes him a little over the top. And it is not only him, I think most of the companions (with exception of Laezel) also have a childish behavior to different degrees.
