Monster Clown: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

Sympathetic clowns are generally a little more muted, whether or not this is faithful to the job. Surly clowns who tiredly work with ungrateful children are more common, probably because they speak to the average overworked audience; they may be an example of [[Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight]].

[[Enemy Mime]] is a sub-trope of '''Monster Clown'''. A villainous clown that is [[Played for Laughs]] instead of fear is a [[Villainous Harlequin]]. The [[Depraved Kids' Show Host]] seems to be related. Clowns' ghastly white makeup puts them into [[White Mask of Doom]] territory. The '''Monster Clown''' is often [[Affably Evil]] or [[~~Evilly~~ ~~Affable~~]].

The '''Monster Clown''' is often [[Affably Evil]] or [[Faux Affably Evil]]. You can find them at the [[Circus of Fear]], although that isn't the only place you'll find them.

The opposite of this trope is the (perhaps sadly) rarely seen any more [[Non-Ironic Clown]].
