Poll: Do you fear clowns?

[The Eyeball Moose]

Escapists, I have risen with my first thread, addressing the fear of clowns. Every once in a while the question rises whether or not I fear clowns and I actually wonder how many people do, and if it's a stereotypical thing, if it comes naturally to all. My question to you is if you have, or have ever had, a fear of any kind of clown.

For me it would be a yes, but I was little and I thought everyone my age was supposed to fear them or something, I don't know, my mind was a puzzle as a child.

For added fun, please share with us amusing clown-related anecdotes. With ASTONISHING DETAIL

 

[blaqknoise]

Nope, I've never been afraid of clowns.

 

[Jedoro]

Clowns are humans, and mostly unarmed. So no, I don't fear them.

 

[Pinkamena]

They freak me out a little... No person is supposed to be that cheerfull.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Well, I'm nothing towards them. So... They just exist. I'm definitely not afraid of them and I don't find them funny... Oh wait! No! Pennywise, is hilarious!

 

[Sassafrass]

Nah, not at all. Wasps, bees and hornets on the other hand...I run like a little girl. XD

Spoiler: Also, click me.

BOO!​

i don't fear them. I feel sorry for SOME of them. There are excellent clowns, like Slava's Snowshow, who are the real embodiment of a clown, with jokes that are actually funny, not just ruining the self-esteem of someone by throwing a cake in their face. The best part is they're mute (not like deaf-mute, but no dialogue) and that makes it all the funnier/universal/fantastic.

 

[TingaWinga]

I'm so scary I scare clowns

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

I'm not afraid of them, but I certainly don't like being around them.

...D'aww! Where did you find him?! I want one! XD

 

[iDoom46]

Nope. Never understood the fear either. They're stupid, not scary.

Behind a group of crying children! And you can have this one, I have 5 at home. XD

 

[Simalacrum]

Well, considering I want to join the circus, no. I know a few clowns. Nice people.

 

[FalloutJack]

I'm sorry, but I could only fear one clown in the world. His name is Pennywise...

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Behind a group of crying children! And you can have this one, I have 5 at home. XD

...I'm going to call him Dr. Peek-A-Boo! Why Dr? Because it's classy. XD

OT: I may not have clown releated antidotes but I have this:

 

[Arkynomicon]

No, regular Clowns are not scary. Evil killer clowns on the other hand is another story.

 

[zehydra]

I'm not afraid of clowns, but I don't exactly like them either.

They just sort of come off as an old, dying form of humor that few people still appreciate.


I am not one of them.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Nah, not at all. Wasps, bees and hornets on the other hand...I run like a little girl. XD

I went to the circus at age 7. This was back when they had lions and tigers. All that stuff, fine. Soon as the clowns appeared, I hid under my seat.

This was long before The Brave Little Toaster and Pennywise.

Clowns are just freaks.

 

[Insomniaku]

no, I feel like clowns shouldn't exist at all, they're tacky, not funny, irritating, and tasteless :/ I don't remember seeing many clowns at all growing up and I feel there are even less and less now, hopefully its a fad... thing... words....
