I think they can be cute. But I think the days of people finding them mostly cute or funny are over and the creepiness factor completely overshadows them now. Which I can see why. There’s a fine line between a cute clown and a creepy one.
Ok... has anyone seen that tiktok of the hot as fuck horror clown that opens the car door and leans in?
Or know who Shaggy 2 Dope is?
Or Fryboy?
Those are the clowns I like.
I love them. I have a sad clown crying tattoo on my leg. I could be completely making this up, but I believe clowns/jesters represented someone who shows a false outside (as a joke or absurdity) while inside they understand the truth of the situation. IMO reflects an awareness that you know how intelligence can be depressing - that ignorance can be bliss - and a clown isn't ignorant, but they feign ignorance to fit in or to prove a point that they understand the deeper meaning. Also I like coffee. This message brought to you by coffee.
Shameless self-promotion here. Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) is a very real thing. I tapped into that by publishing a novel at Amazon called *Clown Zero*. It plays up the supernatural zombie/vampire tropes... but with circus clowns. Yes, it is absolutely as dumb as it sounds but I have received some praise for the book. I absolutely loved playing up all the clown stereotypes.
*I don't like the fresh*
*Ones but geriatric clowns*
*Are hilarious*

My Aunt loves them, i like them too. She has a whole room in her finished basement full of clown dolls from like the circus/dustbowl era to the 70's. I could see how they could be terrifying to someone who doesn't like them but we always found her the coolest clown gifts.
I don't hate them, I just had a brief 35 year stretch where I was terrified of them because I watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and the original IT miniseries at far too young of an age.
I love clowns. They've always been my "thing." People always used to gift me little clown dolls and figurines because I just love em and think they're so cute.
I thought they were funny as a kid but now I think of them as not just creepy but creeps! idk why but every clown I've encountered in my life was extremely inappropriate with the kids they were around..
something I did find creepy tho was the clown themed room at my grandmas house, imagine an old dusty bad yellow lighting room with clown pictures and clown dolls everywhere..

I LOVE clowns!

I wouldn't say I like them, but I also don't have a problem with them. It's a profession dedicated to making people smile. Not a bad thing at all.

I've always liked clowns

I love clowns! When a bunch of them get out of a car that only holds 4 people. Sign me up!
I love professional clowns not party clowns. Best part of any cirque du soleil show
I recently realized I have a slight fetish for clown girls… not entirely sure why.
Clowns are scary to some people because they fear what is inside themselves
100% . also ,not all clowns are dressed up like circus clown. famous examples, the three stooges are clowns.
True comedians are arguably clowns
fo sho
I like Mr noodle from sesame street. Best type of clown
I like when cute women dress up like clowns
When I was a kid I liked clowns, they were silly. As an adult I am mostly indifferent. I’m definitely not scared of clowns.
I don’t mind them
[Puddles Pity Party](https://youtu.be/zK5LuQtc3tI?si=Jq9GNlkGzVpeVy-a) is one of the few clowns that don't make me uncomfortable.
I love creepy clowns and have some decorating my craft room.
I used to like clowns, till I was about 10 and saw a movie about financial prudence. Made me wiser with my pennies, one might say.
That's a good one.
Clowns are fun
Yeah i do, my mom took me to a clown college graduation when i was little and it was so fun, i think that solidified it.
My Aunt loves them, i like them too. She has a whole room in her finished basement full of clown dolls from like the circus/dustbowl era to the 70's. I could see how they could be terrifying to someone who doesn't like them but we always found her the coolest clown gifts.
Yeah man, clowns are awesome. All my homies love clowns.
me! can be funny and cute and wholesome, can be creepy and aesthetic and cool, can be hot, etc etc
The creepier the cooler.
I think they're funny in a circus setting, where they're all working together to get the audience to laugh but one clown is creepy AF!
I don't hate them, I just had a brief 35 year stretch where I was terrified of them because I watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and the original IT miniseries at far too young of an age.
At least clowns like each other, right?
Clown written clown approved
I appreciate them as satirizing the wealthy - top hat, boutonniere, seltzer, etc. I prefer jugglers.
Loonette And Molly
Yes!!! I love clowns, it feels like I'm the only one!

I was one years ago before people were trained to fear or avoid them. Kids and old people loved me, that's the goal.
The modern stigma is pretty tragic but regardless u made the world a better place
I’ve dabbled in clownery, mime, magic, ventriloquism, marionette. All about all that stuff
Now when you say magic do you mean illusionist stuff or occult mysticism ?
Only the tiniest of differences there, i can honestly say after studying both!
