1. I hate clowns

I have always hated clowns and will always hate clowns.:silly:
Truly...I find them creepy.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

16. I hate clowns

my husband hates clowns
our kids hate clowns
now our grandson (2) hates clowns
our dogs hate clowns

the only good clown is a dead clown.

[MrsMatt]

33. I have hated clowns my whole life

The first nightmare I can remember (at age 4) had an evil clown in it. Nothing is scarier at age four than an evil Bozo trying to throw you into a burning furnace.

2. Willy Whistle...

From the Boston area many moons ago; annoying as all hell...

[bertha katzenengel]

4. Where's Velma....

[VelmaD]

6. I am NOT...

voting for German porno clowns. :P

[CanuckAmok]

7. "German Porno Clowns"?! This is the fist I've heard of that!!

Please don't elaborate!!

[VelmaD]

8. I won't

I don't wanta remember it. Or talk about it. Or think about it. To this day circus music makes me break out in a cold sweat. :scared:

[Taverner]

13. I KNEW IT

GERMAN S&M KLOWN PORN!!!!!!!

[VelmaD]

27. Hell, you've seen it

And lived to tell the tale.

[Eyeball Kid]

32. "Oh my god...

they're doing it clown-style!!!"

MST3K reference.

[bigwillq]

5. Homey (nt)

[DawgHouse]

24. Homey don't play that!

[alarcojon]

35. The best was when Homey sold out

and started working for Chez Whitey. A little kid passed him on the street and said "you're not Homey the Clown - you're Homey THE MAN." Homey turned around and a tear rolled down his cheek.

Ahhh, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

[TroubleMan]

36. Another vote for Homey.

nt.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

9. Clowns scare me

(Krusty being the exception) I blame Victor Salva & his film Clownhouse. Not only is the film terrifying (particularly for a kid) with three escaped psycho's killing clowns, stealing their costumes then terrorising 3 young boys ... but Salva sexually molested the lead boy whilst filming which only adds to his reactions of horror. (Of course, I didn't know the latter until years after I saw it but I think it adds to my present day fear of clowns.)

[gizmo1979]

10. Clowns eeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk ahh!

yikess.IIII Hate clowns!:nuke: :scared: :scared:

[peekaloo]

11. Binky the Doormat!

Shakes' evil nemesis.

[Taverner]

12. Pennywise

[slay]

34. You nailed IT

Tim Curry managed to pull IT off quite nicely too. :evilgrin:

[ohiosmith]

14. Flippo

[Dukkha]

41. I remember Flippo

He was on Saturdays here in Columbus in the 70's

[evlbstrd]

15. Me.

I played one at an obscure little TV station very few people could get, in an isolated community. It was a blast.

I don't get the professed fear of clowns I hear all the time.
The kids loved me. For some odd reason, they also wanted to hurt me.

I'm afraid of kids, now. Trauma.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

20. You can thank THIS guy for the fear of clowns.

:scared:

[evlbstrd]

22. OK, that's not fun at all.

I was a happy doofus clown. Type casting.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

23. That wasn't my intention by any means.

Just saying that his despicable actions did help plant fear in many... and it's perfectly understandable. He ruined clowns for a lot of people. OK, he and Poltergeist. :scared:

[evlbstrd]

25. Well, now I hope I didn't strike fear into my little charges.

At least it was a small number.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

26. I'm sure you didn't. My fear started with Poltergeist & grew exponentially

when I got older and learned of Gacy. Despite your username, I have no doubt that you were a jolly, happy clown spreading laughter and happiness.

Do you have any pics??

[evlbstrd]

28. Sadly, none that I can find.

It was 30 years ago.
God, I'm old. But still jolly and happy.

[Gatchaman]

17. Can't sleep, clown will eat me

Can't sleep, clown will eat me
Can't sleep, clown will eat me
Can't sleep, clown will eat me
Can't sleep, clown will eat me
Can't sleep, clown will eat me
Can't sleep, clown will eat me

[MN ChimpH8R]

18. I f***ing HATE clowns

except for Krusty. I don't know why, but I always have. They're not FUNNY.

[gollygee]

19. I'm another one who hates clowns because they scare me

no clowns are good clowns

[CatholicEdHead]

21. Roger Moore in Octopussy

in that scene at the Air Force base.

[DanCa]

29. Whizzo, bozo's magician clown

scared the hell out of me.

[AVulgarianHue]

30. Once upon a time...

there was Chucko the Birthday Clown



As well as celebrating birthdays, he would tell jokes and sing ditties like:

I'd rather be a rain drop
a rain drop, a rain drop
I'd rather be a rain drop
than a big drip like you

[hunter]

31. Arnold Schwarzenegger

But not so good as Governor...

[MrSlayer]

37. Homey. I couldn't pick Pennywise because he's from a book.

I refuse to acknowledge there was a movie version of "IT".

[CanuckAmok]

38. With John Boy Walton, Jack Tripper, Venus Flytrap, and Judge Harry Stone!

[MrSlayer]

39. Yes the very idea of it made me want to vomit.

And making it a TV movie is even worse.

Old Bob Grey was not chasing Eddie down the street screaming "Blowjob" at him. And I'm sure Pennywise turned Vampire in the library was not chewing his own face up. "Kee-runch!"

Most of the good stuff would have to be removed which makes it an abomination.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

40. Captain Kangaroo/Clarabell - they were both Robert Keeshan

Captain Kangaroo's first TV role was as Clarabell the Clown on the Howdy Doody show.

Also Emmett Kelly, probably the greatest clown of his era should be mentioned. He was the star of the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus and also starred frequently on television and in movies ('The Greatest Show On Earth', and in Fellini's 'The Clowns').
