What do you think about Clowns?
July 22, 2015 at 9:47 am
Just a fun and lighthearted topic for this section.

What is your opinion on clowns? Clowns of any variety. Good ones or bad ones. As well as the differences between the good ones and the bad ones you can think of? As well your favorite clowns from movies or TV shows. And maybe even your real life experiences with them?

I think that most people who become clowns sincerely want to make people happy. Since I was a small child, they have freaked me out. It is the fact that their expressions are painted on their faces. Dolls used to frighten me also except as a child, I felt that I was supposed to like dolls. My mom kept wondering why I would hide them in the closet but I was too ashamed to admit that something about an unchanging face just creeps me out.

I don't find clown attire and makeup funny. I don't find it creepy either - just weird. The best clowns don't need makeup or clown attire. Donald Trump is perhaps the ultimate example.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I saw this movie when it aired on HBO by chance! It was classic horror and humor at it's height! And that says something from me because I typically detest horror genres. Clowns are entities that a lot can be done with. For both good and bad purposes. 

And another classic example of spooky clowns is in the episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" titled "The Tale of the Laughing in the Dark."

I hate clowns, they are creepy. There is no good reason for them to exist Smile
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

It only took four posts to get to the Killer Klowns!

I don't find clowns themselves creepy, but there is something definitely off about a grown man in make-up, a wig and large shoes prancing around to amuse children.  Perhaps it's this guy?




Can't have a clown discussion without him.

I'm very "whatever" about clowns. They don't scare me, I don't particularly find the people who dress up as clown to be creepy, and I've never had a firm grasp on why other people don't like them.

I think there are too many. If one more decides to run for nomination, that's what, 17?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
