If you like fantasy novels in general, you'll probably like Discworld, because they spend a lot of time making fun of fantasy novel cliches. The early books are build almost entirely around parody, though the series slowly evolves into its own thing, and tells some pretty strong stories about some very likeable characters.

If you're not a fan of fantasy in general, though, you might not get much out of them.

One other thing to keep in mind, though, is that the books switch focus between different groups of characters. So even if, for instance, you find yourself hating Rincewind, you might find yourself way more interested in the City Guard novels. Or the Witch novels. Or the ones with Susan, or Moist von Lipwig. And so on. So don't discount the entire series if you find yourself disliking one of the main characters. There isn't a huge amount of continuity between the books, so you can always just skip books with that character in the future and read the others instead (considering there's like 40+ books in the series total, there'll be plenty of other books you might like).
