** A better fit is the egotistical IneffectualSympatheticVillain Gilbert. He is always delusional with a SmallNameBigEgo (including at one point lamenting that his plans for world domination have been nixed, despite his low rank), with his misery played for laughs, but he does get some moments to play hero (before inevitably running away as he's a DirtyCoward). Defeating him in battle can earn The Fool Emblem acessory, and in the 3rd game, players are likely to smash him over and over again in the arena to obtain this as it offers a massive boost to speed while lowering all other stats slightly.

* ''VideoGame/{{Chest}}'': Tole's job class is the Fool, and he's a whimsical adventurer with a maxed out luck stat. This results in him doing some amazing things by accident, like instantly mastering the teleport skill and climbing a treacherous waterfall to find Capulet in his treasure chest form. His luck can also be unpredictable in how it [[UnluckilyLucky hurts or benefits]] him, since he got separated from his parents when he was young, which led to him mastering the teleport spell and eventually making some unique friends with his kind and caring personality.

this trope requires the character to be nice. Zote... isn't.
Deleted line(s) 16,17 (click to see context) :
* The character 'Zote' from ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' . He's arrogant, incompetent, and hilarious to poke fun at. There is an entire minigame dedicated to beating the crap out of different enemies that all look just like him, all while he sings the usual fight theme. In this game, which has lore that people have been picking apart for years, Zote has the most lines of dialog over any character, most of which are silly statements he calls 'precepts'. One of which being to literally watch out for gravity.
** Ironically, if the correct choices are made, [[spoiler: Zote can end up as the 'final boss' of an area named the Colosseum of Fools. He deals no damage to the player, and it is impossible to lose.]]
