Agent 54 here again. My best friend, Howard tells this worn out old joke that goes: If attacked by a group of clowns, go for the Juggler. Yeah, I apologize.
Not everyone
likes clowns but the one good thing you can say about all clowns is that they
are not mimes. There are good clowns and
there are bad clowns and there are Main Stream Media Clowns. Unfortunately, bad clowns have recently become
topical. However, to lighten the
situation, I’ve decided to rate my all-time favorite clowns.
See if you agree with my choices.
See if you agree with my choices.
1. Ronald McDonald : Probably the best known clown, worldwide and generation to generation. Everyone knows Ronald and associates him with eating delicious and

Jack |
2. Bozo: I don’t really understand why but, as a kid
I used to love to watch Bozo the Clown on early morning TV. I don’t remember him being funny, except for
his huge red hairdo but, I couldn’t wait to see him. Later people used his name to describe people
who were screw-ups. I don’t remember
Bozo screwing anything up but, he must have been the king.
3. Jack
in the Box or just Jack: Another restaurateur,
I like Jack’s TV commercials. They’re
almost funny enough to forgive him for the horrible Tacos his restaurants sell.
ALMOST!

Freddie the Freeloader |
5. The
Joker: The joker was my favorite bad and
scary clown until he let me drop on my head during a Team Building exercise at
my NSA under the DORD. Never trust
anyone with a 40 year criminal record.
6. Brian
Williams: Williams was a newscaster on
a large TV Network who always thought way too much of himself. Brian would twist and fabricate stories and
then feed them to the public as the truth.
Once the public caught on to Brian Williams and realized that he was so
full of bullshit he could fertilize all the farms in all 57 states, his name
became synonymous with lies and deception.
Appropriately, Williams wound up doing comedy at MSNBC where he still
spreads the bull like it’s going out of style.
So, that’s my list. Are some of your favorites on there too. Let me know who’s on your list of favorite
clowns and remember to always leave’em laughing.
I loved Freddie the Freeloader. That's my favorite one.
ReplyDeleteI linked you to Silly Sunday.
Have a fabulous day. ☺
Red Skelton was the best.
DeleteHave a great week.
I like clowns :)
ReplyDeleteMee tooo, especially served with beans and guacamole.
DeleteThanks for playing.
I love your post and it's support of clowns, but I apologise unreservedly, as I still find all clowns creepy. Oh apart from Mr. Tumble from CBBC's Something Special. I can just about stand him. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating.
DeletePlease come back early and often.
Captain Spaulding is my favorite clown. He's a bad clown... Almost as bad as Brian Williams.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing.
DeleteI've never really thought about liking or not liking clowns,and think I'm impartial really. Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure.
DeleteThanks for visiting.
Hi Timothy - I have awarded you for a liebster award :)
ReplyDeletesee my posts for details :)
Amber
Oh, thank you so much. You're too kind.
DeleteI hate clowns, I'm in the middle of writing a post about their current resurgence and it's turning my stomach doing it. Ronald McDonald is probably the most evil one, slowly poisoning half the world turning them into obese diabetics that he can control
ReplyDeleteWell, at least clowns ain't mimes.
DeleteThanks for playing.
I just heard on the radio that McDonalds is cancelling Ronald's public appearances until this clown situation is under control. You can't make this stuff up #waywow
ReplyDeleteI know, I make stuff up and I couldn't even make this stuff up.
DeleteThanks for playing.
Ha! Thanks for the laughs, Timothy. Brian Williams! LOL Always appreciate your posts on Traffic Jam Weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are too kind.

Great post! I loved Red Skelton as a kid, and I found it interesting that he had a child that was ill that he tried to cheer up with his amusing antics. Then there was a song - "send in the clowns".....Blessings, Janet
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it.

My eldest came home the other day talking about killer clowns, it's so sad when they're supposed to bring joy! Great post, thanks for linking to #pocolo

Urgh! I hate clowns. There is something just so creepy about them...x #sharingthebloglove

I can't say I'm a fan of any clowns - definitely something sinister about them. Not a fan of this whole scary clown craze at all! Thanks for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove

What a shame that the silly clowns are spoiling it for all the good clowns.

There's always that 10% that ruins it for everyone.

Lest we forget 'Eric' the clown, from the Seinfeld episode, he put out a kitchen fire with his big shoe. George Costanza couldn't believe 'Eric' had never heard of Bozo the clown. Classic. Great post!
ReplyDeleteSo many clowns, so many red noses.
DeleteThanks for adding another to our compilation.
Agent 54- So many clowns to cover, so little time! Just turn on any reality show & you will see one. Great list, btw. I like the inclusion of Mr. Skelton.
ReplyDeleteYes, we all have our favorite clowns. I could have mentioned Rodney Dangerfield too.
DeleteThanks for your comments.
Clowns are neither good or bad for me. Until recently. This clown madness has even reached the Midwest. Our highschool has been on lockdown a few times because of clowns. ARG! People are twisted. Let's go back to a simpler time, when clowns were entertainment. Please!
ReplyDeleteLet's go back to a simpler time.

I am always a bit wary of clowns, they always want to jump out at people and I scream a lot!!! Thanks for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove
