9. Jar Jar Binks - LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
LEGO Star Wars allows players to take control of numerous characters throughout the campaign, one of whom is the franchise's most reviled character, the high-pitched, repulsive bane of the Prequel Trilogy known as Jar Jar Binks. Being granted access to Jar Jar is obviously a form of perverse wish fulfilment for many, as while few will want to spend much time playing as him, it's fun to switch to him temporarily and fling yourself off the edge of a cliff, or just take fatal damage from an enemy. The sound of Jar Jar screaming as he falls to his death is hilarious to the degree that it might be considered therapeutic: it certainly heals those painful memories of watching Episodes I-III in the cinema and suffering through his antics. If you switch to another player, however, you can have just as much fun without losing any points: hours of fun can be had simply attacking Jar Jar or nudging him off the edge of any cliff levels, such that by comparison the actual objectives don't seem so fun anymore. This guy really loves it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpTWTlj-1Mk Seriously, if they released a Gungan Murder Simulator, it would sell more copies than GTA V.
