Who was better, Folly or Motley?

Motley. Better acted, more character. Folly was skilfully played but I didn't like his style as much, and his laugh was (probably intentionally) irritating.

I've always thought that Folly was funnier.

Both! They were both great what more do you want

Folly. Why? Because he is, so there!

I suppose Folly's laughter was rather irritating, however I'm not exactly sure why they replaced him. I suppose they did serve quite diffrent purposes really.

Teah, they both did essentially the same thing. I think they were both great characteres and both essential to knightmare. However I think it was good that S7 had Fijit instead because mMotley was getting a bit old, but it was good to see him back. I'd have liked to see Motley or at least Paul Valentine had there been a series 9.

I say Folly. several reasons, first being he didn't have an endless supply of bad jokes. Secondly, I like to think Folly was the braver of the two as he stood up to Cedric. Third, Motley just got on my nerves. Nothing personal really, I just didn't like him as much.

Perhaps Folly was braver since Motley often showed himmself to be scared on several occasions, probably most notably on series 8 when the red Dragon (Bah Shabbar I think) appeared. His only act of bravery as far as I can remember was when he rescued one team from Ariadne in series 4.

Folly without a doubt.

I always quite liked Motley, but Folly had the sinister edge that was most appropriate in the first 2 series. I suppose this explained why it took a little while for Motley to come into his own.

In another thread (possibly in the VR section) someone suggested a dark jester, and I always thought that would be a good idea too.

I like both, but Motley is my fave - it's that cheeky Cockney charm, I think

I'm biased because series 3 (with Motley) was the first one I started watching in earnest, but Motley did seem to me to have more staying power. The best episode in series 2 with Folly was probably the one where he lost his laugh... Still, Dark Descender is right in saying Folly seemed braver. A dungeoneer could rely on getting some proper help from him - see how he faces up to and tricks Gumboil with the 'invisible philosopher's stone'!

I think Folly had more of a questionable past about him...To me, at the time, he sure did not seem like someone who would always be on your side! He presented a task for many teams to get over, whereas Motley accidentally caused them a great deal more often.

Motley was at his best with Mellisandre imo, thereafter it seemed any female in the dungeon accompanied him! Folly remained mysterious, so I prefer that character, though he did have a curious scene with Gretal himself!

What is it with jesters and females in the dungeon?
