This article is about the stock character. For the short story by Isaac Asimov, see Jokester (Asimov).

The Jokester is a stock character — not to be confused with the fool — who copes with the seriousness of the situation (often war) in which he or she is placed with constant good humor. Sometimes such characters may be, as it were, crying on the inside, or their laughter might mask personal insecurities. Occasionally, their perpetual good humor can be annoying but they are always loved by their teammates.
