Hey-hey, listener! Want a balloon? On this episode of Baconsale, we’re conversing about clowns, which are, apparently, no laughing matter. And no joke, Joel, Kent, and Zack (otherwise known as MeeMee, Sprinkles, and George) recorded this episode in full clown makeup. We’ll begin by foolishly attempting to juggle the vast history of buffoonery. Then we’ll seek to pinpoint when coulrophobia started creeping in to the public consciousness before sharing some true stories of terrifying clownery. Finally, we’ll judge a parade of clown-related flicks, some of which aren’t even horror films and others which are barely movies. We hope you enjoy it as we exercise jester’s privilege, satisfy our Sweet Tooth, and try to pronounce Pagliacci.

 

We had fun today, kids. But now, it's time for the Grand March! Press play.
