They freak me out, I cant explain it. Never had a traumatic exp with one, but everytime I see one I just want to land one between their eyes, especially the Ronald McDonald.

Never liked them, myself.
You would have liked my late uncle's house. He LOVED them. His house was decorated with them. No joke...  ETA:

 I think the whole idea of clowns is demented. The only thing with clowns in it that is worth watching is "Killer Klowns from Outer Space", otherwise they should be gathered up (along will all the mimes on the planet) and shot into the sun. |

If I had a choice of SHTF scenerios: roaming hordes of clowns or zombies.....I'd choose zombies. The living dead are much less disturbing to me than clowns.

Damn you!  Yes, I hate clowns. I can't be around one without getting tense and uneasy. They don't really scare me anymore, but they just bother me. I don't like seeing them on TV that much either. The name for this phobia is coulophobia. |

My real estate agent who is a part time clown spent 20 minutes telling me about being a clown. She asked me if I liked clowns and I said they freaked me out. She asked if it was because of a movie I had seen about them or something. I said yeah, that, and a clown killed my dad.
There was dead silence for about three minutes, then she and my wife started laughing. Stupid clowns.

I think it is irrational in the sense that 99.9% of clowns aren't out trying to kill or hurt people (John Wayne Gacy was that 0.01%). Being physically afraid of them is irrational, while finding them annoying, disturbing and pointless is totally rational. |

I hate clowns, because I had a traumatic experience with one. When I was like 4 or 5, my parents took me to this circus. There I was, walking with my parents when outta nowhere this clown just comes by and grabs me and starts carrying me off. I was kicking and biting and screaming and hollering, to no result. Eventually he put me down and I found my way back to my parents, and they thought the whole thing was pretty funny. Damn clowns. Haven't had any positive thoughts about them since.

Gacy just got caught. I still wouldn't turn my back on the rest.  Pics of clowns don't bother me while they would a full blown true coulophobe. But if I'm at a park, fair or other event & see a clown doing their routine I'll change directions & quickly find somewhere else to be before the grease painted freak decides to involve me in their "act". And if that doesn't work & he gets in my face with his stupid ballon animals & other 'yuk yuk' BS he'll get one clinched teeth warning to fvck off. After that.............. And not all clowns elicit that reaction from me. Rodeo clowns don't bug me, neither do the sad sack Emment Kelly hobo type clowns. But they don't fvck with people like mimes or birthday/circus clowns do. I don't care for sports/corporate mascots (guys in the big head costumes-San Diego Chicken, Mickie/Minny/Pluto etc at Disnyworld) either for the same reason. |

I still have to rate the scene in Shakes the Clown where they all get out of the car and start beating up mimes a favorite clown scene. Nothing like watching clowns trounce a bunch of faggy looking mimes.

I worked Security part-time last year at Knotts Berry Farm Halloween Haunt. One of the oher guys had an outright phobia about them. He had one of those taken by a clown at the circus type "adventures" too. One of the "Haunted Houses" was a Circus and one day at roll call about 6 killer clowns walked by and he just started running and staggering. He finally told us why and nobody ever bugged him again about it. You see people react to snakes or rodents but I've never seen a guy have so nassty an involuntary reaction.

I can't stand them and I seem to attract them. We happened to go to the state fair this year on CLOWN DAY of all damn days. It sucked...they were everywhere. It and Poltergeist pretty much did me in for clowns.

I have no problems with clowns, at all!
Sounds like someone was scared by a clown early, early in their life. BTW, did you ever blow Bubbles when you were a kid? Well, he's outta prison now and he's looking for YOU! Eric The('ALittleSong,ALittleDance,ALittleSeltzerDownYourPants!'))Hun

When I lived in San Francisco, I was down on Fishermans Wharf, where there's a lot of street artists doing random shit. I was walking around and came across a mime (close enough to the clown topic). Well this doofus thought it would be fun to follow this very blue collar, working class, BIG guy down the street and mock his walk right behind him for the benefit of the small crowd.
After about 15 steps, the guy turned to the mime and said "You get one warning, KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF, I've had a bad day." The mime then proceeded to put his pinkie finger up to his lips as if to say "Oooooo....scary!" Once the guy started walking again, the mime did the same thing, mocked his stride as he walked away. The guy turned around, said nothing, and just leveled the mime with one punch to the face. He wiped the white face paint on his fist off on the mimes black unitard, and walked off. The crowd was floored...so was I...but in a fun "fuck all clowns" sort of a way. |
