I am trying to come up with a character for a goofy campaign. A couple other characters that will be in this to give you an idea, is a Dubstep bard, a ehem...... Dildo shooting archer.... (Yeah....) And a Magic the Gathering deck carrying summoner.... Just complete off the wall stuff... lol
Anywho, I am open to any role in the group, and class, Just flavor is the key in this... Nonsense is what we are going for...

One of my Ideas was a "Sassy-Squatch", a Feminine Sasquatch that acted Flamboyant.
Or a Cleric of Garey Busey, etc....
I was hoping you fine folks would be able to help me out and throw me a few ideas...... The zanier the better... lol

You could be Cohen the Barbarian. (http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cohen_the_Barbarian)

Or how about...

An awakened squirrel ranger with a very dumb human as an animal companion
A cleric who worships the Triad of Horror (favored weapon chainsaw)
A roller-skating paladin with highly reflective armor that blinds his foes (and his friends)
A cleric who botches all his spells because his god secretly can't stand him and wants him to go away.
A very young and delusional gish-type build who thinks he's a Keyblade Master. He has a keyblade, but it's just a door key lost by a giant (and the giant's looking for it)
A diplomancer with literally every flaw in the book. The reason for his incredible diplomancy powers is everyone feels so bad for him.
A warlock with a cute animal familiar who calls all her attacks - VERY LOUDLY.
A monk.

...

haha, just kidding
A monk who does wire-fu
A character who uses the firearm rules and wields the largest gun physically possible in the game. He calls it "the Space Elevator"
A cheerful Neutral Good healbot who dresses like the Grim Reaper.
A character hired from an adventuring temp agency, with no more than 1 level in any class

If you want one that's frighteningly effective while still being incredibly weird, a pixie brawling fighter (weaponmaster) that spends entire fights piledriving people into the floor and throwing them all over the room, like that scene in Hook where Tinkerbell clears the bar. Take proficiency in Serrated Picks (Small weapon), a Goblin Totem Serrated Pick and Pick Expertise for a nice damage kick, since virtually everything you'll be fighting will be larger than you. And then you can whack people with your pick, punch them in whatever body part is available, and then slam them into the floor/wall/ceiling/whatever. Or just grab them and crush them to death (somehow >.>), depending on how you want to build things.

EDIT: Assuming you're playing 4e D&D, of course >.>

Assuming D&D 3.5

An NPC my GM created for one of the campaigns: a girl who has spent decades polymorphed into a skunk (somehow didn't age due to being made into a familiar. So she was human, then animal, then very smart animal, then animal again and now she is back to her old self and hasn't entirely recovered human mind)

Unarmed barbarian/ranger. Illiterate. Dresses when reminded to. Steals food unless reminded not to. Sleeps wherever. Mininterprets social clues. Sniffs at people and animals. Judges guys hitting on her solely on their physical health and punches out those who won't take no for an answer, regardless of their social status.

Kind of a joke until she uses extra feats from disadvantages to get early access to fist of the forest - then she can suddely kill an ogre with just teeth and nails.

A Dryad Druid who carries his shoe tree around with him.

You could go for the straight-man/funny-man angle and play a non crazy character. Just make sure to set the other PCs up with some lines.

Not sure if the others would frown upon this but "the only sane member" in the group proved to be funny for us. We had a oneshot where we played very unorthodox bounty hunters. No one informed me so I created a serious Paladin. You should've seen their happy faces when they destroyed entire blocks in the city we work in and a confused paladin tries to undo their terror.

You could even twist a serious character into a parody of the Noir genre. An insane fighter in an trenchcoat, who calls himself detective and tries to avenge his killed wife and daughter. Where in reality one night he had a very tragic misunderstanding with a Fey creature who warped his mind to the point where he thinks he had a wife and kids.

TeChameleon,
You haven't spent enough time reading the Tome of Battle... :belkar:

Pixie Unarmed Swordsage/Crusader/Warblade could be a LOT of fun...

Be a Telepath, use the Psionic Sandwich trick to play as a mask. In a game this ridiculous, I'd think the DM would be ok with that just being part of your background. Now control whoever wears the mask and make them act as your body.

Ok, that's unusual, but not exactly spoof-like, it's a pretty classic BBEG trope, in fact. :smallconfused:
However - make it completely ridiculous mask. Not like something mysterious or menacing, but like - a clown mask, or a caricature of some famous person, or a "sexy cat" type of deal, or whatever you can think of that would look the most ridiculous when worn by an ogre (might as well pick a brawny body to possess). The disconnect between your personality and appearance could have some comedy potential as well.

Now, phase 2 - take Thrallherd, and have all your followers wear that same type of mask (nonmagical) to show their allegiance. If you picked a clown mask, you could call them juggalos.

The evil twin brother of Smokey, so a pyromaniac awakened or anthropomorphic bear.

A wizard, but refluff him so he gains power from beard, plaid shirt, maple syrup and manliness.

I paladin of capitalism.

A man dual welding shields.

A man dual welding shields in full plate.

A turtle dual welding shields in full plate.

The race with the highest natural armor you can find dual welding shields in full plate.

The race with the highest natural armor you can find dual welding shields in full plate, who is also a cleric or paladin of a deity with the protection domain.

A undead being who is powered not with negative or positive energy, but by puns. if he doesn't say any puns within a 12 hour
period, he dies. If he's a caster then each spell he uses has the somatic component of a pun.

A kobold/dragonborn/lizardfolk/other reptilian that trys to convince everyone that it's a dragon with the use of any means necessary. Eventually it convinces itself that it's a dragon.(similar things with claims for being a demon lord, a god, a lich, anything really.)

A very confused chicken.

There was a build on these forums for a warforged monk/drunken master/something-else-that-involves-druids can turn into a gazebo to crush people. Don't know where it is.

If your a fan of burning thing, and our DM has nothing against homebrew, then there was a class made on these forums, if you want to try and dig it out.

MoistCrayon,
If you are OK with a non-practical build, play an expert. Be an auditor. Desrcibe EVERYTHING in relationship to its economic impact. Go into battle screaming "Depreciate the enemy!"

For a more fun and practical build, be a 1/2 green dragon goliath. Get Hulking Hurler. Have levels in Expert. Take profession(Lawyer). Name her Jennifer Walters.

FOOL THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE TRUE SPOOF CHARACTER! You must be a half orc bard who wields a spear in battle and plants it into the ground a poledances to activate his bard abilities. THAT IS THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO SPOOF!

A lawyer, someone who quotes the rulebooks and by their words they stop monster's in their tracks, or makes them poof out of existence.

An opera singing bard, play up the stereotype, large woman, winged helmet, tiny feet. Always sings loudly in opera and nobody can understand a word she says.

a sentient rock that speaks telepathically, it cannot move under it's own power so someone has to carry it but it has amazing psionic powers.

a were-hippo, just because.

a bard based off of Keith Richards...possibly undead.

Ever heard of chicken infested?

Chicken Infested is a flaw from Dragon Magazine. Available only to commoners, it gives the commoner a 50% chance, whenever they draw an item, to get a chicken.

So. Your character could be an illiterate chicken farmer, take this flaw, then get a spell component pouch (which lets you draw small items as a free action,) you gain the ability to draw an infinite amount of chickens whenever you want.

Now over your next 8 levels you can make things get even crazier.
You take 8 levels of warlock, and nab the dead walk invocation (make zombies,) and Destructive Retribution (your zombies expload when they die.)

Once all this is done you just need a way to kill a lot of chickens (not hard) and you have an arbitrarily large army of exploading zombie chickens at you disposal.

You are now an illiterate chicken farmer turned poultrymancer/Unabomber.

A JRPG character that somehow hurt enemies by slashing the air in front of him and has a supernatural recovery when eating and sleeping.

A priest of the god of atheism.

A perfectly ordinary housecat.
An housecat themed monk who is compelled to play with his food and catch a few rodents every day.

An impossibly overpowered templated intelligent monster who is constantly summoned elsewhere.
