    That looks familiar to me but that's all I know about it in my head at the moment.

    He's the infamous Ghost Clown from the 1969 Scooby Doo, Where Are You episode Bedlam In The Big Top.  *SPOILER* He was later revealed to be Harry The Hypnotist.

    Well I'm not afraid of them but I am a bit leery of them because when I worked at an amusement park I  got in a fight with a clown - the dude had a few tricks up his sleeve and he cleaned my clock. Actually he wasn't  in his clown costume when we got in the fight and I'm glad about that because it would of been pretty humiliating. Cheers!

    The ones meant to be creepy are very creepy.  But some of them are just fun.

    My daughter is. My wife is terrified of spiders, so when they were watching IT and Pennywise morphed from a clown into a giant spider, they BOTH freaked out.
    The movie didn't bother me, the book made me want to puke. What the kids did to vanquish Pennywise the first time - they couldn't film that bit.

    Only the ones from NYC, Boston Consulting Group, Bain or other consulting groups. 

    My most feared clowns are the NYC variety from various hedge Funds or Goldman Sachs.  These folks ruin lives, communities, and any hope mankind has in the name of greed.  Pure and unabashed greed though they pay lip service to charity.  Take KKR a new wing on the Metropolitan Museum of Art in lieu of the starving massses they put out of work in New York State, Jersey, Ohio etc.

    Do not get me started on the other Shyster Clowns, Jeffery Grundlach lis leading that Parade followed by Michael Bloomberg

    After she died a few years ago, I discovered that my mother-in-law was a clown. My wife showed me her costume and I then remembered seeing her in parades.

    By far and large, the BEST JOKER, EVER.
    I am awed by his talent in making this character real.
    It is so sad he wasn't here to see his accomplishment.  May he rest in peace.
    Kind of poetic, hu?

    Neat ideas here of what categories of people can be called "clowns", but sticking to the traditional circus type...

    No, of course not. They are only entertainers.

    I know some people - adults at that - find them alarming and even like try to frighten others about them, but I have never understood why!

    Incidentally, I don't know a great deal about circus traditions, but it would seem there are really three characters involved in a full clown act: the clown, the auguste and the contra-auguste; of whom the last character is the go-between to the others.

    My daughter, then aged four, went to a friend's birthday party. The child's mother hired a clown to entertain the kids - he proceeded to terrify them. Burst a balloon in my daughter's face, among other things. That was 26 years ago, she's been scared of clowns ever since.

    When I hear things like that I'm glad that  I grew up to be a buffoon and not a clown. Clowns sometimes get their laughs at the expense of others but buffoons only get their laughs by making fun of themselves. Cheers and Happy Weekend!
