Basically for either 3.5 or Pathfinder what are some Monster Races you find that are hilarious to play as?

I'm asking because a group I'm with is debating making a campaign that's just a bunch of bizarre and out there PC's.

Well, you know how humans are Medium and halfling are often made fun of because they're Small creatures, basically half humans? Give those fantasy racist a taste of their own medicine and play a half minotaur half ogre halfling, aka a one-and-a-halfling.

Do you familiar with Stupid Monsters (1 (http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article73.htm), 2 (http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article95.htm), 3 (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4dnd/201204outsider)) series of articles?
Check it for inspirations.
Most of creatures are "LA: -", or not even 3.X, but, say, Flumph was statted in Dangeon #118 as flying Tiny Aberration (2 HD, LA: +2)

Chokers are actually an incredibly powerful and versatile race, given how many strange abilities they have. Play a Choker Swordsage at your next game and relish in the extra move action and natural reach on a small creature.

Sharn from Monsters of Faerun (I think) are a pretty cool race. They're flying aberrations with 3 heads and 9 arms that can take a different standard action for each head, plus a bunch of other cool abilities. As another bonus, they also get natural sorcerer and favored soul casting.

Cheshire Cats (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fools/20030401c) are a thing.

I like Blink Dogs (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/blinkDog.htm). Always Blinking and Free action Dimension Door once a round.

Doppelganger (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/doppelganger.htm)s' shapeshifting and perpetual Detect Thoughts could be fun if your campaign has a social aspect.

You'd definitely need a DM willing to negotiate on LA and Racial HD for both of those, and for most options.
