It's 2016. Tons of old characters got visual updates, yet...
Why didn't any of them get a joke animation? When are those coming?

Rammus still has no joke.
Which ones are we talking about here?
Resource allocation, basically.
Riot's resources are not finite; if the choice is between making joke/death/recall animations for an old champion or making movement/attack/skill animations for an upcoming champion or champion update, the second option will almost always win.
Joke/death/recall animations are just aesthetic flourishes. There is no reason to prioritize them over those integral to gameplay.
