Line 436:
* Lola Pop from ''[[ARMS]]'' was never intended to be this; producer Kosuke Yabuki intended her to just be a silly, fun-loving circus clown who just happened to a contender in a [[Fighting Game]] where ''every'' playable character was silly, but players were terrified of her regardless. Kosuke later said half-jokingly that he had "learned a weakness in Americans" due to them being scared of such a thing. So... if he ever decides to greenlight less lighthearted game, coulrophobia sufferers be warned...
* Mad Clown from ''[[Punch Out|Super Punch Out]]'' doesn't stop at looking the part, he incorporates all kinds of showy acrobatic maneuvers and even juggling balls into his fighting style. His juggling balls are especially dangerous because they're a prelude to a brutal instant-knockdown attack that comes out ''fast''. If you go into his fight expecting a mere Bear Hugger reskin, you're in for a ''very'' rude awakening.
* Philippe, the fourth Boss of ''[[Final Fight|Final Fight 2]]'', who battles the heroes with acrobatic kicks and a trick cane. [[All There in the Manual| According to the instruction guide]], he's been using the circus as a front for a smuggling operation while working for the Mad Gear Gang.

Line 442 ⟶ 443:
{{quote|"Even undead, clowns are annoying."}}
* Strong Man, the Old-Timey version of Strong Mad from ''[[Homestar Runner]]''. As his name suggests, he is actually an unintelligent circus strongman who for some reason ''is always facing the camera'' and is working for [[Dastardly Whiplash|Sir Strong Bad]], The Homestar Runner's archnemesis.
* Fizzarolli from ''[[Helluva Boss]]'', Blitzo's former friend and now rival, is a clown, demon, ''and'' cyborg, plus a minion of [[Demon Lords and Archdevils|Mammon, the Exemplar of Greed.]]

Line 504 ⟶ 506:
{{quote|"Hi, I'm Krusty the Clown and I don't like you." "Hi, I'm Krusty the Clown and I'm going to kill you."}}
:* Bart's clown bed in "Lisa's First Word". Say it with me now. "'''''[[Sickbed Slaying|If You Should Die Before You Wake!]]'''''"
:* ''And'', Krusto D. Clown from "Treehouse of Horror: Not It", [[Composite Character| a cross]] between Krusty and [[IT|Pennywise]].
:* [[Madness Mantra|'''Can't sleep, clown will eat me''']]
:* In the supplement book ''Flanders Book of Faith'', one of Ned's Humble figurines has a little girl being frightened by a clown. The title: ''First visit to the Circus''.
Line 584 ⟶ 587:
* The Clown Demons who run the carnival in ''[[The Owl House]]'' episode "Really Small Problems". While this is truly a nightmarish concept, they are the [[Affably Evil]] type who do not tolerate anyone scamming customers - [[Hypocrite|''unless'' the scammers are working for ''them''.]]
* In ''[[American Dad]]'', Roger overlaps this with [[Evil Teacher]] in his H.J. Rimmens personality, being a teacher at a clown school. Right off the bat, he admits to using mind games and emotionally abuse his students into becoming clowns, adding that 60% of them will be [[Driven to Suicide]] by the end of the semester. Of course, [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|seeing as this is Roger we're talking about]], he’s not very good at being either type of villain, and eventually loses his permit to teach clowns. A [[Flash Forward]] scene shows him as a [[IT| Pennywise]] [[Expy]] gunning for revenge against Steve, only to [[Epic Fail|get stuck in a storm drain while doing so]].
* In the ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'' episode "Mining the Mind's Mines", the psychic mines initially try to tempt the Lower Deckers [[The Vamp|by creating illusions of their fantasies]]; when the mines malfunction, however, they switch to illusions of their nightmares, which includes Klingon clowns
* The [[Juggalo]]s from ''[[Inside Job]]'' subvert this. They're pretty... weird, but of the six organizations who secretly rule the world, they seem the least evil. They aren't sure ''why'' they are in the overall group, but are actually very nice to their "rivals", giving Myc and Glenn pep talks after they are shunned from the festivities at the Power Struggle competition.
