Surely I'm not the first person to get a thread going on this subject. If it exists somewhere that people know about, please redirect me.
Otherwise, I'm looking for some hilarious character concepts you've come across.
For instance, in our current game there is a sorceror who has his book chained to him with manacles and he beleives he is a holy man (although his Religion is untrained and 4).
I've met a warforged druid made of wood, and a bugbear bard that dresses like a jester clown and attempts to sing Latin pop songs...His name is Macarena. I'm sure you can guess what his friends say to him when they see him on the street.
(Seeing the player role playing his bugbear throat-singing songs like macarena is both frightening and hilarious.)
Please add your experiences in this matter.
ty in advance

I once played a Bugbear named Skronk who was a poor fighter, so his clan made him dig and clean out "waste"-holes with a shovel.
Skronk hated the stench and filth, so he attached the shovel to a length of rope to try and empty out the holes from a distance.
After some time he became quite skilled at this.
On the clan's next raid, Skronk used his shovel-throwing skills to great effect, cleaving through scores of enemies without them ever getting close.
His background story goes on, but this part was the foundation for his combat style: gouge-throwing ranger (using the "hungry spear"enchantment).

I am currently playing a human socrerer, Jamroar. She has luscious hair and loves to reiforce this fact by flipping her hair after every spellcast.

Both of the characters I'm playing are fairly amusing:
- Brickyard Lot, a gladiator-wizard in Dark Sun who pretends he's dumb as a pile of kank poodoo. He does more melee than magic and loves eating fruits, even if they're obviously poisonous. His face looks like he's been beaten with a bag of nickels.
- Friar Griftheart, an elderly seer-cleric in Madness at Gardmore Abbey who is really an old grifter trying to score the Deck of Many Things. He's running a grift on the party's witch right now (who holds a majority of the cards), trying to convince him that you can't use the deck until you have the mysterious 23rd card, Rules for the Deck of Many Things, which comes with the deck and most people foolishly throw away. Friar Griftheart claims to have this card, but it's really an expert forgery.

I'm currently playing a Sir Erik Murdock, a particularly cold, calculating, evil knight. He never personally DOES anything evil, but he is an advisor to another player character, Michael Corbin, younger brother to the Prince Edgar Corbin. His advice to the prince is so over-the-top evil that it has become hilarious.
For instance, during a hostage negotiation for his older brother, the Heir-apparent Edgar Corbin, whose recent wedding sealed an alliance between a neighboring kingdom, he was given the choice of a prisoner exchange. He could exchange all of his own prisoners for Edgar or for quite a few of his loyal bannermen's sons. Sir Erik's advice?
"Well, if you aren't opposed to marrying your brother's widow, you could improve the loyalty of your bannermen, secure your alliance with the neighboring kingdom AND become heir to the throne all at once. If you are opposed to marrying your brother's widow, you could still keep the other kingdom in line by making her your hostage. If your brother's memory means that much to you... Tell me, your Grace... how's the hunting in the Principality?"
A rogue with a bowl of slop can be a controller.
WIZARD PC: Can I substitute Celestial Roc Guano for my fireball spells?
DM: Awesome. Yes.

I've played as a halfling barbarian, weilding a two-handed short-sword called "Ankle Biter." In the same campaign we had an illusionist that was super vain and used all his spells to make himself look better. There was also a half-orc cleric cursed to wear a pink choker that turned him into a half-orc-mermaid when he went underwater...
You know, I'm also playing an escaped slave revenant monk that "escaped" the Raven Queen's realm by cutting the "reincarnation" line. My group's pretty loose with the rules I guess, but it's all in good fun.

A totally stolen concept, but GOLEM, my gnome in a warforged suit. It stands for genius-operated living exoskeletal mechanism.
I am Iron Gnome.

I'm running a pixie fighter (slayer) with melee training dex and a pickaxe. My battle cry? "Go For The Jugular!"
His name is Cottonwood The Mighty.
