Because you'd never expect a banana to be an undercover cluster grenade.
Games which feature creatures who make use of the natural excretions of their body to lay waste to their enemies.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Cartoon physics refers to games which do not conform to regular physics, but the "laws" are for a humorous bent rather than conforming to reality. Sometimes it ignores physical laws, like gravity, or tweaks them, like not being totally blown away by dynamite.
A generation V pokémon that makes it’s first appearance in Pokémon Black/White.
Attitudes towards the Clown vary from person to person. Some find entertainment and humor, others feel really creeped out by their overly flamboyant nature. Ultimately, games tend to take the path of a more horrific presentation to stimulate the atmosphere of a particular setting.
A comedian (male) / comedienne (female) is a performer whose goal is to make you laugh. It can be anything from a slapstick routine to social commentary.
The comic relief is a character, other than the main character, who is meant to add humor and lighten the mood of the game. These characters are usually very dumb or very witty, and are usually very talkative.
A species of chicken-like creatures that appear in the Legend of Zelda series. They are terrified of Link, but will band together and wreak terrible vengeance if provoked enough.
Some characters get drunk off of alcohol - often this is portrayed with blurred vision, impaired movement, or slurred speech.
A new fad in Games and Movies. Some good examples of this concept is Rufus in SF4 and "The Blob" in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Games featuring guests introduce playable, established characters from outside of a franchise. Primarily but not exclusively seen in fighting games.
A person employed to tell jokes and provide general entertainment. Jesters share some resemblance with clowns in that both have a reputation for being creepy rather than funny. Most of the jesters that are placed in games focus solely on the aspect of being creepy and scary.
Joke characters are characters in video games that provide humor, and are often parodies of characters from other games, or parodies of famous celebrities.
From Beat-em-ups to fighting games to modern FPS, one dude hitting another has made an enjoyable pastime.

Fourth generation baby Pokemon created as a pre-evolution for Mr. Mime.
Mr. Mime is a psychic-type pokemon from the original Pokemon Red/Blue. Like his name indicates, this pokemon doesn't say much - but watch out! Mr. Mime can copy even the most deadly attack and use it as its own.
A species of carnivorous plants that reside in pipes. Some specimens can spit fireballs.
