Maybe to a three year old he might be cute and funny. They are more likely to respond to goofy sound effects and strange faces.
Think thats why hes entertaining to me. He isn't really part of the serious storyline or even a funny part of it. His story is just to be goofy and off the wall. Its like watching Benny Hill and expecting a deep reason behind it and an engrossing story to follow. Benny Hill is funny because it makes the least sense possible while still making some sense.

What would be worse to me would be if they tried too hard to make the main story have elements like Hildebrand throughout. Which i think fits more to what your saying. Jar Jar would only be like Hildebrand to me if we was the intermission cartoon while you got more popcorn.

Hes near totally apart from the game's storyline, and just there for a chuckle between srs biznus.
