I think the word you're looking for is "flamboyant".
Flamboyant D&D characters are the best kind, regardless of class. Gaming is the time when you can unleash your inner Shatner fused with your inner RuPaul while trying to kill Smaug.
At least in my experience.
i.e. Bards are fine. My last, long-term PC was a Paladin with some bard in him (that is, a 4e multiclass). I still miss dear old Sir Yatagan Fracas, Knight of the Order of Treasure, Paladin of the Dragon Within, and Keeper of the Codpiece God (it was a very small god in a box he kept in his pants).
BOOM. Thank you. Flamboyant fits very nicely .
I do appreciate that
And I am glad that some folks like flamboyant characters. If the game is in that vein and everyone loves it , that is great.
But in my experience ( and its just that; my experience only), every time someone plays a bard they act that way. They have a hard time making a bard that is capable of not ruining the mood of a serious minded game.
When you are fighting the dark Lord of Midnight and the fight is getting serious and the fate of the world is at stake and some prancing fool is using vicious Mockery fart jokes.... LOL
But I get that's a player problem as well, which is complicated unfortunately by how the Bard has been portrayed in D&D through the past. I am very glad that the Bard has been slowly getting overhauled so that it has many other options. the class mechanics itself are very good and they can be a very powerful character that the Dark Lord will not be happy to fight..
Then again...Maybe the fart Jokes are REALLY starting to piss him off...... He is the Dark Master after all, and this dude just doesn't seem to get that he should be very afraid.....
