I myself like to crush the blue players by beating them down to the ground with my BRG armies, all the while reaping the lands with my Dwarven minions.
Adun makes sure that he cleans the blue filth off his shoe every time.
Emmara is like the worst parts of Legends and Homelands got pregnant, aborted the fetus, tossed it in the trashcan, set it on fire and wrapped the corpse in a Dragon's Maze pack wrapper.
Hey, wait a minute, good stuff decks can be really fun. I have a lovable Mayael deck, and literally anyone who wants to play a game can use it. Even if you only played magic once, you can just throw guys out and expect to wreck people's games with stupid aggro. It's my oldest deck, and the one I use when I just want to sit down and see the Sharuum deck try to exhaust all his fuel in doing things.
I also have a spot for any and all subtle generals, but only if they actual are part of the deck. The most unfun parts are when people use a reaper king, just to play with atogs or 5c combo. Because of that, I really like using Teysa, because now with the new Vial dude, I have my own mini laser cannon when I sac a million things.
Some of you may think that you have made great mistakes in your lives, and perhaps you have. But let me ask you this.... did you ever play strip poker with two fat chicks and win?
I find Azusa, Lost but Seeking the most fun. Because after you've utterly and irrevocably violated your opponents' mana bases by turn 3 while ramping into oblivion, people realize Venser, Shaper Savant is my NICE deck.
I'm a huge fan of Zedruu the Greathearted. It's definitely a very political deck with lots of "Don't attack me", "Let me help you", "Let's help each other", etc. type interactions. Not that it can't backfire and draw unwanted attention by itself, but that's part of the fun.
That's a really tough thing to choose, as fun in EDH is different to everyone. In my opinion, the most fun deck is going to be the one that does absolutely crazy things, even if it doesn't end up winning. So I really enjoy things like Jhoira of the Ghitu and Riku of Two Reflections.
Zedruu, Mayael and Norin, as others mentioned, also fit this category.
After a week of playing The Mimeoplasm, I love it. Has great synergy with Birthing Pod, and on release day, when I first cast it, it was a 12/11 Thada Adel, Acquisitor, against two blue decks.
My most fun commander changes all the time depending on what deck's are new and different, but I'll make a short list of the ones I've found most fun over time.
Karrthus is mad fun. Big beats, good answers, and usually requires some cleverness to win, but it wins very often (who knew beating an opponent to death could get complicated?). Bonus is that due to reanimation, it's fairly counter-resistant (countering big creatures is a waste of counters). It also tends to fly under the radar due to mass stupidity.

Karthuus is my Big Dumb Timmy deck for these reasons. It feels weird playing creatures to attack with them but sometimes that's what the doctor orders. And, for a non-blue deck Jund packs quite a few sneaky little tricks.
I think Savra is my funnest deck. The deck is designed to ramp, blow out a ton of creatures, and force sacrificing to all my opponents easily. Not broken to the point of not challengeable, but keeps things interested at all times! Especially against blue, since countering does little to stop graveyard tutoring with the many cards available throughout the deck.
i have to give godo, bandit warlord a shoutout. i love really close games with skill-testing last few turns, especially where i come back from being an underdog, and godo delivers in spades. i'm always either barely eeking out a victory with some weird combination of swords, greaves, and grafted exoskeleton, or barely scraping enough mana out of koth to equip argentum armor to swing killing a troublesome permanent, or gaining massive amounts of life at the last minute with basilisk collar and jaya ballard / goblin sharpshooter... or i'm losing just a few turns away from sealing the deal.
if you like equipment and can stomach the deckbuilding challenge of mono-red, and if you want to go the underdog route (norin and kiki-jiki are better of course), godo is a lot of fun. i call it my mono-red infect life-gain deck
My Omnath deck is my baby. He's not subtle, but who needs that? I love how with my old playgroup, bringing him out pulled the game into an Archenemy kind of state and I could still take the game. It's too much fun being a pressure deck in a greedy format like EDH - games get to start moving forward with Omnath around. And outdrawing the blue deck is awesome, along with the general resiliency to just push through things. I also like that he can switch gears dramatically and go from a more aggro style to a more control style deck at the drop of a hat.
My Rith deck is fun, but I need to work on my token generation. I've got a BUG poison deck that is fun, but less people that I've met like seeing it, and an Ashling deck when I'm either a) not too incredibly interested in thinking or b)incredibly interested in thinking. Still working on an Edric and an Isperia deck though.
Play to win. If you don't, you're disrespecting everyone you're playing with by wasting their time. The Douchbag check is at the level of deck construction.
And why?
