Almost every fighting game now has a joke character; name one you like, one you hate, and why.
I love most of them. The Kobun in MvC2 is my favorite character, and Norimaro was....hummm Norimaro. Hinako is funny too, although she is damn ugly, and I love Yuri in KOF 2001. It depends on people, but I think characters like Anakaris (with his insane mooves of Vampire, not the bump of MvC) are joke chara too (and I love him too). Actually, the only joke character I don't like is Dan. The point in a joke is to do something nobody would have expected, an Dan is in most Capcom games and hasn't changed in years. Oh, he had the Chouhatsu Shinwa in SFZero3, but it was removed immediatly.
Ulala this is a trap!

I should say -- I really do like the joke characters. I definitely agree that they're there to make the game more fun -- but it's even better if you get a good hang of the characters.
I should mention that I actually won a small Street Fighter Alpha 3 elimination tournament at the 2001 Nan Desu Kan anime convention here in Colorado, using Dan Hibiki all the way. [I should mention that I'm probably not at the level of folks at Shoryuken.com, but I'm probably at least at an intermediate level with fighting games. Anyway,] I remember, when I was up, as soon as I picked Dan, the contest organizer said, "Uh oh -- someone's going to lose quick..." -- and, well, quite the opposite happened. 
The prize was $25 to EBX -- but since I went through it with Dan Hibiki all the way, they also threw in a T-shirt! It was a Street Fighter EX 3 shirt, but hey -- I'm not complaining.
My only qualm was that I wasn't able to taunt. This was the DC version, which I hadn't played before -- and as such I didn't know how to taunt. It would've made the win all that much better, but... that's in the past. I still got the $25 and the T-shirt. :)
So, yeah -- that's big reason I like joke characters. I've also gone through Master mode on Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo/X with Dan Hibiki -- though the only reason I won against Akuma/Gouki was luck after several continues... ;)
NEXT STAGE IS 3

Guess if I agree with the true words of Rugal
how ever whatever T.E. said....

Hmmmmmm........Dan and Faust are my most hated. I like Faust a bit more than Dan,though. Dan's just a boring shoto.
F**K OFF, YOU WORSHIPPER OF THE EVIL SHE-MALE BISON CLONE!!!!!!! Here are some fun facts for your dim self:
1-Dan's not a shoto, he's a saikyo... you see a Saikyo uses only a few Shoto techinques. See Saikyo is really based on Muay Thai, the rest is a bit of Shoto he learned from Retsu until Retsu kicked his ass. Aside from having a Gaodoken, not a Haodoken, his Uppercut is very very different, and their    aren't even comparable! Saying Dan is a Shoto is as retarded as saying Sakura is a Sambo fighter, or Vega uses Capoeria, or Cammy is a woman!
2-You know why Dan wears pink? not because he's unmanly, oh far from it,it's to keep lame asses from playing as him. Making him the ultimate weapon for humilation againist scrubs (fun fact: Use him and Norimaro in MSHvSF or team him with Roll, and Kobun in MvC2 for the ultimate victory teams.... When I play as either team I own you for free!)
3-I can stand you insulting Dan, I mean you're a mindless lacky of Stefan, you're required to hate all 'Shotos' (or what he calls Shotos) or he'll kick you out of his little club and then you'll have to think for yourself... but when you insult Faust/Dr.Baldhead you make an offense to me! Did you ever play GG1? have you seen Baldhead's mad surgery attack? You repent the sin of insulting Faust or I will hunt you down in full Faust costume and recreate said Super Move on your sorry self!
4-Really how can you hate Dan and Faust? or Shingo? or Sean? or Joe? or any joke character except Bao?.... well maybe if you're stupid, but if you get the joke most are very effective
