What is another saying for the butt of a joke?

[Edit]
The butt of a joke is the subject (or target) of the joke.

Someone mentioned "scapegoat", but that is someone or something that gets blamed for something that is not their fault.

A stooge is similar, but it is someone who lets himself or herself be used for someone else's advantage.

I've heard people call them the ass of the joke.
