Clown College Training Videos 

I agree. If only he’d dramatized the frown and pur his hands on his hips as he glared down at the dog. Would’ve made the accident an “intentional” act 😂

I was thinking the same thing! The one time I went to a circus, the clown act involved a guy trying to get a cat to stay in place while the cat just refused to cooperate.

@@elsie8757 genius gimmick

@@elsie8757 this is smart because cats hate cooperating

I already love your gramma omg

My great grandma was a blind knife thrower she was so fucking cool she was somehow really great with moving targets

Are you a twitter user?

@@samuelrodriguez4374 why do I have a feeling you've had to run from grandma a few times lol

You gotta showcase the gloves on RU-vid

That's actually really cool

That is a fun fact. Thanks for sharing. Also 69th like 😏😏

This was such a fun fact that sent me down a huge rabbit hole lol!!! There are so many fun things in this world that I had no idea existed 😳😳

It sounded like a fun fact until I googled it…something so unsettling about a case full of clown eggs

@@fungi5350 that sounds like a beginning of a really funny prank on April fools

That’s my goal in life. To just be casually clownin

i want to be him

Who is this Danny Gonzalez character? I only know Fox Szn.

@@ahashi1924 haha

I thought it was fox szn 🤨

I can’t believe you believed Danny. He’s just trying to steal Ned’s work

i’m still fucking terrified of clowns but this is rly sweet 🥺❤️

Huh, didn't know there were medical clowns before today. ... I guess laughter is the best medicine.

This made me cry 🥲🥲❤️❤️❤️

I mean but like same Scott. Same.

@@jovietheelf3356 the last 18 years were the downwards spiral of madness.

My bad

There are people who just do that, I had a guy make me a rose at a college hosted party. I think clowns are obsolete lol

@@RoKer13 for sure clowns are perhaps an outdated concept, but the curriculum itself isn't necessarily bad haha

I can make eels. Snakes. And uncircumcised penises

@@tripleaarcade well that's impressive and all but can you make a lowercase "l" or an uppercase "I"??

My grandmother taught me to make balloon animals when I was really little. I have no idea where she learned that.

I agree, it’s one of the things I really like about Scott’s videos.

@@wallystogner90 agreed for sure. Like I like nickisnotsogreen, but he doesn't point out the positives in anything. I always come to Scott when I'm in a bad mood because he is so positive

@@rileyscherer129 Exactly!

Yeah, I just started watching him today. Im only a few videos in but I was surprised by how nice he was, especially for a commentary channel. I’m used to them being a bit more pointed and ‘mean’ (which I dont mind, still find it funny tbh) but this is so refreshing

and your not

I always loved getting picked as a volunteer for shows. I’ve never seen a clown so I don’t know what exactly their volunteers have to do but I’ve been the volunteer for street magicians before.

Lmaoooo

he probably thought "dear lord its the prophesized chosen one with built in squeaker coming to save the industry!"

That's a very good insight

That’s a very good insight

@@piinncchh :[

That’s a very good insight

@@bigantdud3499 thats a very good insight.

Is that like a mime or something else?

@@johnnyfroggo7361 Mimes are a type of clown, but they dont speak. They do their own acts, also, no actually! Italy was the one who invented the Mime, it originated in one of my favorite pieces of history: Commedia dell'arte. Her uncle is what is known as a "Pierrot" perhaps. It's also in dell'arte and is usually the sad clown!

@@honeyeggs9145 Wasn't expecting a history lesson on clowns, cool! Idk why I was thinking France lol, I guess a lot of media shows them being French: Ratatouille, Despicable Me, ect. America has a couple different varieties too: the regular circus, the rodeo clown, probably others idk I'm not a clown expert.

@@johnnyfroggo7361 Rodeo clown is correct I believe but clown history is really cool! I’d suggest it to kind of wow your friends with a ton of fun facts.

Duuuude you need to show your uncle the show baskets with zach galifianakis

Now ya tell us?! The merch is already made god dammit!

@@yusufkadar it's a joke. Chill.

Yesss that episode was hilarious

Sameew

Lol I’ve seen that one it’s pretty funny

Wtffdfgdrtgc I actually remember that episode lol!

IKR DUDE

I don’t think any of us expected him to say that

I was thinking the exact same thing

Yessir

Clown College? _Pfft,_ you can't eat that!

Yes homie? Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

If the occupation of john wayne gacy makes the occupation scary, people should be scared of handymen/construction workers lol

@@morgank.6113 I think, and I could be absolutely wrong, the reason why clowns are scary - In regards to JWG - is because their supposed to something for children. So innocences and childhood joy are apart of that. When John Wayne Gacy got caught and became a infamous serial killer, that famous picture of him supposed to be a innocent clown for children becomes a absolute nightmare. A construction worker is a “tough man job” and not something that is intertwine with childhood innocence. I could be wrong! I hope this makes sense..

@@maddyperson1498 sure but he used his construction business to frequently ya know lure boys and men to their deaths and hide the bodies. the clown hobby he had had no relation to his crimes beyond people finding it retrospectively scary that he worked with kids. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you about it being creepy he had so much access to kids, I just find it silly to be afraid of a hobby/occupation because someone in that business committed crimes

That is true.

@@morgank.6113 that wasn’t just his occupation. It was his disguise to befriend and lure children

more like from a struggler to a juggler am i right

He passed in 2003 I’m sorry

Holy fuck I just put that shit together that they were the same people. Wild.

Ehh. They may judge you though if you take them off your burger in public lol

you'd be really surprised how judgemental adults can be about food choices. I absolutely despite lettuce. People DO NOT take that well

@@onometre I think that's because iceberg and romaine lettuce have almost no flavor, so it's hard to wrap your head around somebody not liking it. But hey, if you don't like it, you don't like it.

@@onometre sameee

I don’t mind clowns honestly.

That's because you are

Same.

I've seen some at the circus who weren't bad. Especially when a dozen or maybe twenty of them come filing out of that clown car. I'm waiting for a bunch of progressives to do that in a Jeep Cherokee. Probably won't happen. JCA of the USA

I used to love clowns as a kid, now I dont mind them at all but dont really love em anymore

Do you remember what the sketch was about? What did you have to do? :0

​@@squirrelisamazing6522 I remember that I and a girl who was about 9 years old were brought backstage and dressed up- I was dressed up like a clown (no makeup, but outfit matching Mr. Noodles') and the other girl was dressed up like an old lady. There was a chest on the stage that had a secret trap door on it and that was how we entered, and there were two big blocks on the stage. I can't remember exactly what the plot of the sketch was, but I know that the girl dressed as an old lady was chasing me and Mr. Noodle around the two big blocks, and he jumped up and sat on one of the blocks and pulled me up with him, and the girl kept running around in circles like she couldn't see us sitting right above her. I know that's confusing but I was 6 so 😂

@@Dontcometooclose No that makes sense (or about as much sense as a clown sketch can have lol) and that sounds cute! I'm glad you liked it/had fun :D

There is the 27 Club...

I imagine him as the inspiration of cartoons swapping parachutes with people’s lunch

Well, 24 years and 354 days

I think it’s that plus the forced emotion, it’s so uncomfortable seeing someone forcing a smile that intensely and the makeup exaggerates it more. Like you just never know what’s behind those eyes...

@@septemily the 2019 movie. My bad, there’s no “the” in the title

I mean to be fair, he WAS a good medical clown. And he never hurt any kids. Probably

Well he wasnt a real cliwn

@@gooseman6882 he was, though? Lmfao what.

@@gooseman6882 yes he was

Yes but that was just a side job, he would have killed people no matter what really.

I'm pretty sure he's who the Captain Spalding character was based off of.

WHAT

"Adult Model" has the same energy as "Exotic Dancer"

Ooo

Wtf is clown content

"adult model who makes clown content" has a vibe that feels ever so slightly off, like there's something wrong with the sentence

My cousin used to teach aerial dance with a kid’s circus school that went to primary schools. I don’t know if she still does it or if she got a new job. It wasn’t what she wanted to do, she went to university to be a dancer but now she’s 30 and I think that ship has sailed.

well of course you do fozzie

I couldn’t agree more. I do like how it’s not obviously his. I like the “if you know you know” feel to it

Him and eddy burback

i really like gmm merch

@@TheMoleRat yes exactly. I do like gmm an I been watching them for years but at the same time everyone's gonna ask "what's that" then you gotta explain what gmm is an that's not easy 😆

That’s pretty interesting! I think especially as a kid it was the full makeup clowns that scared me the most so that makes sense. It talks a little bit about the hobo clowns in a footnote on the vid but it’s cool to learn more about it

I was in the video. It was shot between the hours of 10 pm and 2 am during our Clown College session in 1986. There was no script. There was no pay. There was only one take. BTW - the Ringling Clown College was training Circus clowns... the makeup we learned there had to play to audiences 5 balconies up. NONE of our makeups were intended for close-ups with cameras; seasoned pros learned to adjust their makeup if they knew there was going to be a shoot, but us newbies in CC had worked for 7 weeks learning to put on a makeup that amplified our genuine emotions (yup - smiles AND frowns) so the makeups we sported in that video were pretty grotesque. Not bad - for their intended purpose - but not for up close viewing.

@@drquark Holy shit, this is the best reply I have ever gotten

@@drquark that's really cool

Some other things worth mentioning in this feed: Mr. Noodle is a character played by Bill Irwin who is alive and well.... and a graduate of the Ringling Clown College which is being lampooned here. Many of those "hospital clowns" being mentioned in this thread are former Ringling clowns, and graduates of the Clown College. They've adjusted their makeups from the Big Circus Arena makeup typified in the video with the more "human" look using less makeup for their current "up close" clowning. Also, the "blackface clown" being mocked here had one of the cleanest, best makeups ever to come out of CC. The dude had a darker complexion, so it's natural that he had a darker base makeup. What I think is odd about the poster's take on that makeup is that nobody EVER accused Ted of having a "blackface makeup." That guy was an artist, and he painstakingly developed a VERY neat and tidy look for a character who might just be pushing a shopping cart around the arena. If you were to see his makeup straight on (and you get a brief chance to do so in the video) you'll notice that his face is mostly covered with white make-up. So, I accuse Scott of sensationalism here. Foul.

LOL Neat and tidy? The ceasing on the neck proves otherwise! No disrespect to your old homie but that make up was BAD. Smeared, creased, AND patchy, not blended into his obviously FAIR skinned neck. You can see his real skin tone under whats rubbed off or wasn't applied well and he was MINIMUM of 3-4 shades lighter than that base colour he used.

Ikrr

im intrigued, tell us the lore

No, his name is Scott Cramer

I noticed that missed chance to have a Steve O cameo

@@uniboy13 NO, I know who Scott is, I’m talking about that legit clown in the thumbnail.
