General Concensus For Males (but females can peek too)....

[Aiden]

I hate clowns, if I had my way I would introduce a bat to their faces.

Oh, that episode scared the living daylights out of me...

Yeah. I saw it for the first time at 10:45 at night. "Well, Doctor Who is a family show, and I'm 20 years old. How scary can it be?"

[DrFier]

I am creeped out by clowns. But they don't really freak me out.

Statues, on the other hand, do. And I have a reason, as anyone who's seen the Doctor Who episode "Blink" can attest to.

Watched it just now. Didn't really freak me out, it was just plain cool.

I just feel embarrassed for them.  No one should be that totally bereft of dignity, you know?  It's unsettling to be around.

[Scott]

I don't like clowns, but REALLY HATE dolls and ventriloquist dummies or anything with those rolley eyes that can open when the demon wakes.

Right, Right? :P

[Darkcide]

I am not afraid of the clowns. I am indifferent.

[DrFier]

I actually found "Blink" quite inspiring.

[Kurzyk]

Can't imagine why anyone would be afraid of clowns..

Ahh well the link didn't work... Was a very funny/yet creepy picture of a clown. *chuckles*

[Mudchaser]

Is it just me or are all guys or most guys afraid of clowns? xD

(Males and Females can respond but I really want to know what the guys think since they are guys after all)

Why?  Are we discussing a story idea involving a girl with a red nose, colorful lipstick, mime-eyes, crazy pig-tails, a checkered mini-skirt with suspenders and platform heels?  Because, if so, I'm totally down with that!

... What?

I worked as a clown for six years. Some of the clowns I met, the ones with makeup on, could be really a bit off. I was more like a big kid and generally didn't have too many children afraid of me. I also got hit on by young 20 something girls which was kinda nice.
I started to dislike kids after awhile tho. I also would reccommend the movie Shakes The Clown if you really want to be afraid of clowns. The title song by Two Much Joy Afraid of Clowns is a highlight. Also it is one of Adam Sander's early roles. Its not a great film but it is rather appropriate for this forum subject.

The line fro the Simpson's sums up my view of what it was like being a clown comes from the episode where Homer was replacing Krusty and his quote is perfect.

When I see a child happy and smiling. I know they are going to jab me with something

There is nothing to fear  with clowns. It the little rug rats around them you should be frightened of

[Garrbear]

I don't really have a problem with clowns, probably because I've never actually seen a real one in person.

[BlisteredBlood]

Nah. I'm not scared of clowns.

[Xanatos]

Clowns do not scare me, and yeah that Doctor Who episode "Blink" was one of the few TV episodes which really left me creeped. I went to bed just spooked XD.

[Beezy]

A normal clown, nah.  Crazy pointy teethed clowns and/or similar to what Mnemaxa mentioned, yes.

G'mork from The Neverending Story?  Yes.
