Line 122:
** Even more scary when you realize he's actually an {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination]]}} disguised as a clown.
*** Ironically, he chose the clown form to trick children into trusting him.
* In ''[[Poltergeist (film series)
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfiyJa0Zeas Parodied] in ''[[Scary Movie]] 2'' with a clown doll who [[Mugging the Monster|finds that not all victims are helpless]].
* ''[[The Greatest Show On Earth]]'' features a gentle, altruistic, medically-inclined clown who never removes his makeup, even off-duty... because {{spoiler|he's on the run for the murder of his wife}}.

* Doink the Clown in the [[
* Subverted by [[Sting (wrestling)|Sting]] in [[TNA]] during his 2011 war against the Immortal faction. Slathering over his trademark black lipstick with a grotesquely smeared red [[Glasgow Grin]], playing pranks, and [[The Hyena|laughing and carrying on maniacally]], he ''seemed'' to be a Monster Clown but was actually more of a [[Loveable Rogue]] playing mind games with the villains.

* An episode of ''[[WWE Smackdown|SmackDown]]'' in April 2000 had the Mean Street Posse posing as a trio of circus clowns during a hardcore title match when they ambushed Crash Holly.

* The Dilisnyas, one of the most treacherous and murderous of [[Ravenloft]]'s great noble houses, trace their bloodline back to a fellow by the unlikely name of Pidlwik. In the original adventure module ''I6: Ravenloft'', which inspired the campaign setting, Pidlwik's crypt identifies him as the court jester.
** The Skurra, of the Travelling Carnival, are one part this, one part [[Enemy Mime]], and all subversion; while extremely creepy (even the mutated Carnies are somewhat afraid of them, and there is a belief amongst them that some or even all of the Skurra are actually ghosts), they are not malevolent in the slightest.
