Let's put it this way. "Good" vs. "Bad" humor are of course subjective things, so I won't argue that you consider him good. I will argue that the kind of comic relief supplied by Jar Jar (and later by C3PO in the rest of the new trilogy) did not match the kind of comic relief in the original Star Wars trilogy. So while there's certainly an argument that it's unfair to define the humor presented by JarJar as "bad", it was "different", and thus frustrating to the target audience which had come to expect a different type of humor. I wouldn't want to see a sequel to, say, a Coen Bros. movie with the Three Stooges as comic relief. Even though I rather like the Three Stooges, in the wrong context they don't work.
