Depressed, Depressed Clown: "Happy" is Not So "Happy"

Posted by on Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 10:29 AM

(Why, yes. This is a spin-off of my "Stupid, Stupid Baby" series. Is there a problem, officer??)

In this video, we meet "Happy the Clown" who just happens to be the most fucking depressed clown in the history of Barnum & Bailey. There are a few reasons for this:
1) He lives next to a very busy highway.
2) In Jersey, apparently.
3) He's maybe four feet tall?
4) His house kind of sucks.
5) He's currently unemployed, his wife died of leukemia, and he suffers from gout. (I made that up—but it's entirely possible.)
6) He hasn't molested a child in days.
7) Jesus totally doesn't love him, no matter what this stupid, stupid baby says.

Why did they film their 'show' next to a freeway?

Is this some type of Jersey immersion therapy for coulrophobia?

Holy crap on a cracker! I am completely traumatized by this. It is like John Waters directing a sequel to Killer Klowns from Outerspace.
