Hell,
I vote for L-Block and WCC for the joke value, and I'll vote for
Missingno for the same reason, but I voted for Vault Boy because I love
Fallout 3 and felt he does a great job representing the Fallout series
as a whole. No joke reason there. You guys get carried away with this joke character stuff sometimes. --- Not Wylvane |

Dunno
about Vault Boy as a joke. I don't think people voted him in because it
was funny, but because he was the face of a popular game and had an
appealing design. It sure seems like he could have caused an upset
against some fodder, but I dunno how much strength he'll retain
throughout the years. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I
love the argument of if something has strength it suddenly isn't a
"joke character" anymore. Joke character is anything that's not
actually a character. You must have a shallow list of real characters then. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 36/44 - Today's Winners: Leon and Sackboy |

Trivia:
Vault Boy probably has more pics available to him than any other
character. There's a ton for achievements, and even more for stats,
skills, and whatever else. --- Not Wylvane |

From: vcharon | Posted: 2/7/2010 12:33:11 AM | #449 Well, VB is a symbol, really. If you think symbols fall under joke characters, chalk him up as one. Just keep in mind something like a Goomba is also a symbol, and everyone argues a Goomba might not bomb and could actually be a midcarder without being a joke option. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

charon,
you called Spy a joke character, and he's got more personality than
most of the entrants in this field. He's also playable and has legit
fans. Anyway, we've brought up Vault Boy vs. Sackboy, but have we brought up the fact that this looks pretty darn good for Sackboy? --- Yoblazer: http://i29.tinypic.com/dqhyf5.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Ugh.
I've played all the Fallouts and even in the Fallout games Vault Boy is
a joke character. He's supposed to be this cheery, super happy cartoon
in a ****ed up world. Lulling people into this sense of everything
being alright when it clearly isn't. Vault Boy is a joke, in this
contest and in the games. Why you would ever even try to argue this is
beyond me. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Aww
yeah, this topic needs more VB pics. Somebody post the one where he
flamethrowers a cartoony version of The Master, post-haste! Seriously, VB is just really likeable. He's not a character in the usual sense, but he's got a funny, cute design, and some badass shots. :P --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

yeah, Vault Boy is all over Fallout 3... achievements, perks, weapons, bobble heads, uh... other things, probably Vault Boy is the man. I voted for him, and I really like Leon a lot too. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, KrahenProphet |

Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/6/2010 9:40:49 PM | message detail |
From: EternalxCourage | #465 But he's also an icon of the series in general. His presence pretty much represents the crazy atmosphere of the Fallout world, where there is humor and craziness even in the depressing post-apocalyptic world. He may be a joke in the games, but he's such a solid representative of his series that he's not really that much a joke outside them. He's an icon and a mascot, and I wouldn't consider a Chocobo or a Goomba joke characters. --- Not Wylvane |
Lightslayer987 | Posted 2/6/2010 9:41:37 PM | message detail |
Man,
Vault Boy just keeps on going up. 40% would be the best case scenario I
had hoped for, and he might actually get it. I really hope he becomes a
contest staple after this, since 40% on Leon is no joke. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/2wmghtl.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

A
joke character is someone for whom the act of voting for them is funny.
I cast my votes for Crono with complete seriousness. The gravity of the
situation is extremely high. Not so when I vote for L-Block or WCC! --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #471 I'd certainly argue Bowser is a joke character! It's a joke people don't realize how horrible he is at being a villain when his own son constantly outdoes him in almost every game he's in! But seriously, I'd consider Sonic to be a bigger joke than L-Block at this point. --- Not Wylvane |

I'd vote Waluigi over Bowser Jr.! And that's saying something! Nintendo really needs to make a Mario & Luigi RPG with Wario and Waluigi in it as semi-playables just so the guy can get a serious role.
