I hate clowns they are ugly and scary looking. I have hated clowns since I was a very small child. So I am wondering if I have a phobia or some kind of issue about clowns or are clowns just weird and disturbing in general. What is your opinion on clowns?http://www.meshsf.com/blogs/150px-Johnwaynegacyclown.jpg

*waits for LG to show up*

So, you want some clown dolls for your birthday, eh?

He will not be amused.

They just want to entertain. :(

Many people find clowns disturbing. The movie and book "It" are somewhat to blame, as is John Wayne Gacy, but the real issue is that they seem so FAKE. They seem ARTIFICIAL, the way they're either grinning insanly, or weeping in a masquerade of grief. It seems like they are mocking the very essence of human emotions in everything they do. So it seems like a laughing clown is really laughing at everyone, and a crying clown is really thinking about ramming a sharp wooden spike up your anus while burning your children to death. Yeah, it's creepy. But are they creepy because they're inherently so... or is it because they reflect upon us?

/deep thought

Yeah, clowns are really creepy.

They just want to entertain. :(They may want to entertain but they really freak me out. There is something evil about clowns. I can't really put my finger on what it is but I hate them and I do not like to be around them.

Oh man. That movie was so shitty. :p

Can't Sleep, Clown will eat me. Can't sleep, clown will eat me. Can't sleep, clown will eat me.

Anyone who gets that refrence, will get a slice of cheese cake.

Oh man. That movie was so shitty. :p

So shitty it was good! haha
Alright not really. But it's a good laugh.

That would be from Bartholomew Simpson. Afraid of his bed when he had to move out of the crib, or something like that, when Lisa was born.

ps I FUCKING LOVE CHEESECAKE

No? I think he will be VERY amused. :p

Okay, this thread is starting to creep me out. I'm kind of scared of clowns too, so Ladame is going to steer clear of this thread and flee now.

I took a clowning workshop once.. just the tumbling and pratfalls, no make-up. It's kinda fun. Maybe that would help to get over the fear of clowns. :confused:

I merely dislike clowns; I despise carnies. :p

Poor clowns...

So you hate Ronald McDonald? He's all over the place!

Poor clowns...

So you hate Ronald McDonald? He's all over the place!I hate Ronald McDonald I hope the hamburglar and Grimace drive a stake thru his heart.

Clowns were always chief among my least-favourite things relating to the circus. I liked the big cats, elephants, and the man being shot from a cannon. They just don't make me laugh - I see a clown and feel a sudden ennui.

I don't think that clowns are scary. They're boring and stupid, but not scary...

I hate Ronald McDonald I hope the hamburglar and Grimace drive a stake thru his heart.

I hate Grimace. He looks like a huge blob of goo.

And, while we're at it, why is it that McDonald's characters are more on the evil side?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.



Incidentally, I really, really don't care about clowns. They're neither big nor clever, nor worrying nor scary.

:eek:

:(

But I'm no ordinary clown. I'm a ninja clown. We're better than ordinary clowns because we could be anywhere. There's probably a ninja clown in your house right now. Feel better now? :)

I hate all clowns. Including the NSG user known as "lunatic goofballs".

I don't see how anyone could hate clowns. That's terrible.


Also how is Killer Clowns from Outer Space a bad movie? That's a classic!

Yeah, clowns are really creepy.

As Terry Pratchett put it. Yes clowns make you laugh, but they do it by leaving. Everything seems funny when a clown has just left.

That would be from Bartholomew Simpson. Afraid of his bed when he had to move out of the crib, or something like that, when Lisa was born.

ps I FUCKING LOVE CHEESECAKE

Not quite. Yes it was there, but the scene itself was a reference to the Alice Cooper song of the same name.

:( it's not nice to hate people.

But, but, but.... how could anyone hate LG? :(

Some people can. Believe me, this guy seriously annoys me.

i don't care.

Clowns are funny. I like funny.

As for ninja clowns, well I for one welcome our new pie lobbing overlords.

Some people can. Believe me, this guy seriously annoys me.
I'm sure he entirely doesn't care.

Incidentally - I quite like LG, but for the taco-based "craziness", although that has been cut down on significantly.

Maybe becoming a father means that he has less time for taco-based comments and more for general wit and insight when that's required.

He has to teach his kids about tacos, and mud. That's gotta be time consuming.

Nah, just leave the little blighter with NSG on, and the edutainment will unfold of its own accord.

Heh. Amazing coincidence. ;)

Shit. Hit. Fan.

I appear to have been pwned. Oh well...

*continues to fear and respect the ninja clowns*

Prepare for mud and being pantsed.

I wasn't at all BUMUSED by it :p

My mates girlfriend has a pathalogical phobia of clowns and midgets! You should have seen her when we bumped into a vertically challanged clown on Blackheath advertising Zippo's circus. It was a classic!
I think the problem was not helped by a certain John Wayne Gacy!

I wasn't at all BUMUSED by it :p

Oh pleeeeze! Its like everybody's on "E"!

Oh pleeeeze! Its like everybody's on "E"!
*sighs*

Way to kill it right there.

Awww... You need tacos. :)

*hands you tacos*

No, I don't need tacos. They are most useless.

Ah, Being Pantsed.

Depantsing is only sexual assault by the same definition that a six year old hugging someone in school is sexual harassment. In other words; no definition I care to acknowledge. ;)

He was an anomaly. Most clowns are better at covering their tracks. *nod*

No, I don't need tacos. They are most useless.

But they're delicious, and nutritious.

You absolutely do need tacos, to help cheer you up, you miserable bastard.

I've only just got out of Juvenile for doing exactly that in Year 2 - oh how things have changed on my return!

No, I don't need tacos. They are most useless.

Everyone needs tacos. I helped Johns Hopkins with their clinical trials where it was confirmed: Everyone Needs Tacos. *nod*

The resemblance is uncanny! :eek:

?!?!
They'll kill you as fast as anything else that is little more than well-greased meat slid covered with sour cream and slid into a carb-laden death trap.

Clowns are about as amusing as getting hit in the face with a hammer, which is to say "very, but only if they're happening to someone else." One thing I never did get, however, was how they're supposed to scare people. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
I suppose that my self-assurance might stem, in part, from my childhood training in pantomime, the only art which can reliably counter Clowning.

I wasn't at all BUMUSED by it :p

Ouch. Serves me right to be the butt of your joke.

Everyone needs tacos.

Can you prove that scientifically?

Clown ninja!?! Well then I wonder who would win in a fight. LG or Buggy the clown. :p

Can you prove that scientifically?
Isn’t ‘everybody loves tacos’ the fourth law of thermodynamics?

Yeah, clowns have always creeped me out. I think I blame it on watching poltergeist when I was a kid.

*shrugs*

Ouch. Serves me right to be the butt of your joke.

I'm hoping we can put all these terrible puns behind us.

Isn’t ‘everybody loves tacos’ the fourth law of thermodynamics?

no. wrong. sorry. it's not.

Wether Clowns are scary or not are really variable. Krusty, for example can be both sides. He scared his children before his show got cancelled in 'Krusty Gets Cancelled', but in most episodes, he seems to have humour.

Yes, it is.
:p

:p

but that's not what I said.

I hate Grimace. He looks like a huge blob of goo.

And, while we're at it, why is it that McDonald's characters are more on the evil side?

I always thought he was an eggplant.

Can't Sleep, Clown will eat me. Can't sleep, clown will eat me. Can't sleep, clown will eat me.

Anyone who gets that refrence, will get a slice of cheese cake.

simpsons!! cheese cake please!

Here's some more clowns.....

Why? Do clowns (http://www.evilkumquat.com/images/michael_jackson_joker.jpg) scare you?

You're all treading on eggshells here, did none of you heed the LG warning post about the trapeze artist who 'fell' to his death? If I recall correctly, H.N Fid...VII made the connection.

LG is El Capo di Tutti Frutti of all clowns. Perhaps a visit from the Goofball twins will make the point if you don't get it. Following that, you might wake up with a pie on your pillow as a warning..

There are no more warnings after that - after the pie on the pillow, you 'sleep with the dishes'.

Respect Don Goofball.

*Cue The GoofFather music'*

I once saw a movie called (I think) The Greatest Show on Earth. It starred Charlton Heston and Jimmy Stewart (Stewart played the clown). One of the sub-plots was the story of the clown - he never took off his clown makeup because he was wanted for murder. I was rather young when I saw it and it turned me off clowns forever.

Pantomime can even annoy clowns. :mad:

Yes, but the mathematical calculations alone would fill several classroom blackboards. *nod*

Wow It takes alsorts I guess.

I saw on TV the other day about this woman who was scared of gerkings(wallies)! Unbeliveabe, she was actually on the floor shuffleing backwards on her bum screaming! Coz somebody was hold a gerkin out to her.

Papa Lazarou is scary, and he has malign clown like make up.

He also refers to nearly everyone as Dave.

I bet you won't step inside my invisible box and say that. Eh, tough clown?

You'd like that, wouldn't you? Walk against your invisible wind and slip on your invisible banana peels only to become trapped in your invisible box. Curse you, mime! Curse you! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/sauer/angry-smiley-019.gif

There's visible wind? Do you live in LA, or something?

We have trees, we just hide them because we live in continual fear that visiting clowns will crash into them with overcrowded cars, or, even worse, cut them down and use the wood to make battachios.

Clowns are Awesome!

Oh please! We're excellent drivers(as long as I don't have someone's knee in my ear) and exept for some purists, Our slap sticks make use of modern composites!

You cretinous wolf, you lupine cretin! Why must you slander the good name of thousands who cannot speak for themselves (or at all, really)?
If we mime, do we not also bleed? And wear facepaint? Sometimes doing both at the same time? This division is purposeless. We should not fight; we should stand together, as man and mime, and as clown and man.
So, will you accept my (invisible) offering of peace, or will you play right into the hands of yhose Coulrophobes who would see us all prevented from being made into public spectacles.

*puts down the seltzer bottle and offers hand in friendship* Brother. :)

You wouldn't want to invite some clowns home with you. Just look at Krusty. Then you have those crazy killer clowns. All that facepaint, who knows what they might be trying to hide?
