Later this year, TLC is releasing a Castle-themed advent calendar. See Edit by Hinckley: this thread at the CC forum this thread on Eurobricks end edit for details. The set includes a really cool jester minifig.

I don't know if the jester has an official name but if he doesn't, I think he should be called Yobrick after Yorick of Shakespearean fame. The character was a Danish jester after all - just like the minifig. :)

What do you think the LEGO jester should be called?

He should be called Jimmy. Just like Jedi Jimmy from the old republic gunship set. X-D

I would call him Jesper the Jester :-D

arcturas.

simple.

steel...

Simple. Jordan. Jordan the Jester. :-D

While I do like Yobrick, it has to be Motley for me

Simple. Jordan. Jordan the Jester. :-D

Good choice!! *y* :-D

*sweet*

Chester the Jester :-D

Or else a silly sounding name like Wamba :-P

Walter.

I think it describes itself, right?

I have to go with the name Chester on this crucially important subject!

I would say either Guadalupe or Antwon, since they seem like the perfect fit. :-D However, I like Jesper the most.

I too side with TheFrisian and Lord Of Pies when I state he MUST be called Chester the Jester.

Keep in mind people this decision will change things forever.

Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Harlan. :-$

Hmmmm... either Jordan, Chester, or Jasper. :-D

Wait...why bother? ;-)

I'm inclined to side with the "Chester" faction. Chester the Jester has a nice ring to it.

i wouldn't be surprised if chester was indeed mentioned in the set. *sweet*

Be being completely biased in saying Chester!!

Chester FTW! *y* It has a friendly Lego-ish quality that Jimmy or Jasper don't have.

No one names a jester. It's a case of "Hey you! Jester! Make me laugh or it's off with your head!".

If he must have a name I think Mr Jester is best.

Hey you! Walrus! Call him Chester or no clams for you! :-P

Im going to have to go with Chester. Ooooh, on a sidenote, those of us who have the Squidward minifig can make a Squidley one!!!! Yaysies, that'll be muh sigfig, Mwhahahahah!!! (Seriously, I call dibs on squidley)

Jester Naming, On!

I don't get why so many people don't understand that news of the Advent Calender broke on EB and not classic-castle 8-|

I thought that jesters were well respected in the middle ages. The joker or fool had certain rights when it came to speach that eluded even barons and earls. The ability to speak freely (and often inappropriately) about even the nobility made the jester a unique imp to say the least. Let's face it; making a joke about your monarch probably wouldn't win you many brownie points if you weren't a jester.

If the King says "Hey you! Jester! Make me laugh or it's off with your head!", what does he say to the rest of the folks? "Hey you! Make me laugh AND it's off with your head!". I guess there's not that much difference when you think about it :-D .

Methinks you are taking my comment a tad too seriously. X-D Even so, I do stand by my point of the name, but I think you are right that they did have power in their own way... to a point.

Personally I like Yobrick, it ties in with old times and still maintains the Lego aspect of it. Great choice *y*
