Line 583:
* 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 with with bat'leths for arms. While this does not specify ''whose'' nightmare this is, ''all'' of the ensigns flee in terror.
* The Juggalos 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.
