Calling all Clown-Haters!

DMC-12

It's HarmonioUS, NOT HarmoniYOU.
I hate Clowns.... Clowns are very scary people....
I hated the circus as a child... and my parents dragged me to those damn things. I remeber we met a clown in the parking lot after the circus... and the clown was handing me a ballon... I would not take it from him... and my parents yelled at me to take it... so I took it... then I let go of it right away on purpose... cause it came from the evil clown :lol:


*Goes into Jerry Seinfeld spiel*

Whats the deal with Grimmace? What the heck is Grimmace...?! I like Grimmace...dont get me wrong... but I dont know what the heck he is supposed to be :confused: He's big...he's purple... what is he / it?!

And whats the Deal with Hamburgler? Is this something McDonalds wants to be teaching kids... That it is Humorous to be a klepto- ...that its some fun game to play?! Run around and steal stuff...why not... The Hamburgler does!!! Maybe thats how Winnona got her start... it all started by watching the Hamburgler! :lol:

Since when is Barney considered cool?
My question about Barney is why doesn't he eat those danged children? He's a t-rex for goodness sakes! Oi!

I never knew there were so many others with clown-a-phobia or whatever they call it. I've had it since I was a toddler. My mom had ordered tickets for Bozo's Circus before I was born, and I went when I was 3 or 4 and cried the entire time. Clowns are evil!

Only good clowns: Krusty and Flunky. Flunky was a character Chris Elliott (I think) used to do on Letterman's old show. Sample dialogue -
Dave: Well, Flunky, I just don't think you're setting a good example for kids.
Flunky: So sue me.

I've hated clowns since I first went to the circus as a kid...and wasn't there an old Twilight Zone episode with a truly frightening clown, too? Anyway, I can't stand 'em...they scare me to pieces.

DMC-12, that was good! (I just love Seinfeld!) hehe... :animwink:

Speaking about Barney... I don´t like this gay purple dino... notice I don´t care of his se-xual preferences, but I can´t stand his girlie voice! :lol: (kinda like Winnie the Pooh - don´t kill me please...). I think that "thing" is the best result of a lot of mkt and planning to be appealing to kids because I don´t know why but ALL kids love him! My nephew recognizes and adores Barney and BJ and the others! I just find it amazing.... I think it would have scared the hell out of me!

I liked Bozo though and another one called Cepillín (mexican one) who had a show and only painted half of his face, so he was cool with me... but not others!
:animwink:

Hee hee Thanks... I was actualy on Bozo once... I played a game...it was with a broom and a cardboard disc (like a hockey puck). You had to go around like cones or something... long story short... my puck got stuck on some tape that was coming loose on the floor by the cameras... I came in second place...lol! Damn your eyes BOZO!!! :p

lol...it was ok Grizz... I dont remember much.. I was in grade school...I think maybe 4th or 5th grade.... maybe 3rd...dunno..

Bozo has been off the air for about like 5 years now...

My name was not picked out of the machine.. a producer picked me out of the line going into the seating area... handed me a ticket.. and prepped and briefed us in the studio before they sat the audience and the taping started.

I did not get picked for the Grand Prize Game... cause I was picked for the other game...

I forget the dogs name right now... but it will come to me.. I liked Wizzo the clown though... he had great one liners!

It was like the Krusty The Clown Show on the Simpsons... only real ...not a cartoon :)

That guy on the piano...
The dog...
Cookie? Was that his name? His original sidekick.
And the villain!

BTW, how old is Bozo??!!

If you mean the actual guy, he was played by several different people over the course of the show. If you mean the character, I'm not sure! But that show was a staple when I was akid. That was one group of clowns I could handle (except for Wizzo- he freaked me out). Nu-nee-nu-nee-nu-nee!

MBB, shame on you for posting that picture! :lol:

clown hater since 1981

when i was very young i had a lot of health problems and i was in and out of the hospital way too much for a little kid... anyways
random people kept sending clowns to my house and to the hospital and my mother kept having to send them home cuz i was freaked out!!

Then i remember (after getting better) being at a birthday party that had a clown and i was hiding behind the couch! hehe

as i got a little older, and involved in certain fund raisers, i got to know one clown and i swear she is the ONLY one that doesnt freak me out now!!!


why tourture little kids?? i dunno
i was so scared of clowns i wouldnt let my mother put clown makeup on me when i dressed up as one for halloween

sigh hehe
yay for clown haters!! :sohappy:

I teach elementary music. One year not too long ago, we did a circus musical with first and second graders, and I let the kids choose what characters they wanted to be. Most of the little girls wanted to be "tightrope walkers" (on the ground, of course!), and wear their dance recital costumes; others wanted to be lions, tigers, ponies, elephants, magicians, popcorn vendors, etc. Want to guess what NO ONE wanted to be? Yep - not one child volunteered to be a clown! (The audience didn't miss 'em, either!)
