Could Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta be Partially Classified as a Gag Character?

If so, to what extent? Does this add to his power or the hype surrounding him in any way?

I've had this question on my mind for a while, because I havent seen this really be brought up. Sure, his method of making Omega Shenron angry was similar to Super Vegito making Buu angry, but one key difference is that Gogeta was able to do things like create confetti and split himself into copies despite presumably not knowing Tien's multiform technique.

He also seems to have a bit more of a "childish" or humorous personality compared to Vegito.

To me this personally adds to the mystique and power of Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta to me. He so vastly overpowers Omega Shenron in a way that I dont think any villain has ever been overpowered, and Gogeta outright creates things like confetti out of thin air just to mock him. Many people may dislike this but I personally enjoy this iteration of Gogeta being different from any other fusion in this way.

I personally think it makes him unique and memorable, even if that wasn't his real personality, but those abilities were unique. He is known for mocking Omega and making fun of him in various ways, like hitting him slower so he can actually see it or pretending to be hurt by his attack only to ask him if he can now shoot his back and that it's relaxing. Confetti Kamehameha is basically one of his signature moves. It adds to his charater for sure. But is he a gag character? Hard to say, because Vegito and especially Gotenks seemed to just have that kind of personality. Gogeta didn't. He became much more serious after he managed to make Omega launch his ultimate attack so he could erase entire negative energy from Earth that was sealing it from rest of universe. He is based on movie 12 Gogeta who was very serious. DBS Gogeta was also more serious than Vegito for sure. It seems Gogeta is overall more serious fusion, no matter which series we talk about.

But yes, there is also a difference between what Gogeta was doing and what Vegito is known for. Vegito is very cocky by himself. He taunts his opponents during fight when he wants to beat them. He loves provoking them and making them angry. But Gogeta did that only to make Omega launch his attack. He wasn't even trying to beat him until that. He was evading or ignoring his attack, only hitting him few times but with no purpose of beating him at all, only to provoke him. And after that, when he finally wanted to beat him, he wasn't joking anymore showing his true personality.

The confetti thing is probably the only joke type thing he ever did. Being comically overpowered doesn't really make him a gag character.

It's amazing how his personality is a complete 180 from Movie 12. That Gogeta would have ended Omega instantly. At least when Vegito messed around it was because he had a plan.

He didn't have a plan you say? Okay.
He wasn't much different from his movie 12 self. Gogeta from Fusion Reborn wouldn't kill Omega right away unless he didn't care that Earth is basically out of universe meaning no one could ever reach it including gods.

How was that planned though? How did he know Omega would use that exact move?

Well, that's a different topic. But he didn't have to use "that exact move". Gogeta probably just wanted Omega to launch his strongest attack at him (and a one that actually has negative energy), he didn't need to know exactly what attack it'll be.
