who was the guy that said "lol" at least 3 times per post but it turned out he was actually a depressed guy in real life? i miss him, but I missed crushed more. His avatar is timeless. TIMELESS. I actually pictured him posting his messages like that. hah

FUCK YES, he was banned? He was the only guy I've ever ignored.

No idea Costanza was some kind of joke character. Whoomp is a nice unbanned one. Crushed was a good one of days long gone

That guy who thinks a terrorist will force him to have sex with a dolphin deserves to me mentioned if that's the case.
though i'm still not sure if it was a joke or not...

Vigilant Walrus?

No tolerance at all for joke characters.

You did a complete 180 from a guy who only posted in a few threads to a guy who got that tag. :lol
 
I think that obnoxious roid rage guy who always makes those legendary threads of douchebagery HAS to be a joke character. I find it hard to believe there are people on the planet who really think the way he does.
 
siamesedreamer and pollo were awesome joke charas of the OT GAF MLB threads, siamese was the most pessimistic Braves fan I've ever seen. pollo was quite possibly the most hated troll of Yankees-GAF. Both were perma'd

I didn't realize that anyone on GAF took any other poster seriously.

Don't lie. You take me seriously.

they were not joke characters. it was all real.
 
Crushed is of course always going to be #1, but beyond that Greatness Gone has to be the #2 joke character. I mean, of all the ridiculous, over the top, insane people... of course, the way he went out was beyond horrible.

How was that, exactly? I remember being around when it finally happened but I'm drawing a total blank right now.

If I remember correctly he had some huge meltdown in a Banjo Kazooie thread.

kittonwy is the definition of a joke character. SomeDude probably is, but I can't tell.

From what I've seen. Kittonwy isn't a joke character. He's got a good 65,000 posts over on Gamespot as EvilTaru and he's more or less the same there too.
 
Costanza wasn't a joke character. That is something he just made up recently. Phoenix Dark tried the same thing a couple of years ago and did it better.
 
Costanza wasn't a joke character. I think I found the post you're on about and it just sounds like he finally decided to grow up.

Costanza keeps failing at everything, it seems.
 
I hope Vigilant Walrus is a joke character. Of all the dearly departed, I'd have to say Crushed was my favorite.

Blackmage. His perma was hilarious. He may be ugly but he also smells bad.

THE BEST, *pours a 40 (ounce racially neutral apple juicebox out) on the curb.
 
Those of you who are bored and want to read about joke characters and their demise head in here

Was Costanza really a joke character, or is he just saying that from beyond the ban for damage control?
I think he was a joke character, but probably didn't post "in character" in the various TV and movie threads he seemed to hang out in.

Or at least I hope he was, because otherwise, I become a bad person again :\
 
Drinky Crow made the most sense during the transition from the Gamecube > DS era. Nintendo's fortunes were so low during the Cube, that most vocal Nintendo-only fans were deep-in-denial manbabies... When their fortunes started to reverse with the DS and they started parroting back Nintendo's mission of "blue ocean" "non-games" constantly, GAF needed someone to take the wind out of their sales. Drinky filled that role perfectly. He also gave a voice to the growing number of "hardcore gamers" (then a newly created class), who saw non-games/new controls as a joke (or a threat).

Since DS/Wii domination... trolling Nintendo fans is no longer quite as funny since they're back in the mainstream again. Drinky is not quite the sensation he once was.

Costanza was a joke character? A little too subtle. I guess I never paid too much attention.
Why are you guys talking about him in past tense? Was he banned?
