I think comedic Freddy is more famous than the 'original' character. I'd say he is at his most scary in part 2 which most seem to forget even exists. It's probably why people were upset that he was turned into a pedophile in the remake. They thought it ruined the 'likeable' killer they knew. But he wasn't in the original, and Wes had originally planned to make Freddy a pedophile but didn't because of some scandal in the area at the time of the movie's release.
The Dream Warriors is likely the most appreciated entry in the series (well, or maybe the most liked sequel, it's still rated lower than the original). Or at least I was under that impression. Even if Freddy may have had his comedic moments in that one it was still not comedic in its tone. Part 4 seems to be generally liked too, but I don't really care for it since they killed off all the characters from the third movie which I thought was lame. Very few people like part 5, though, and I'm included among them. I also like Freddy's Dead as that one is my 'guilty pleasure' or what you call it of the series.
