ARMS Developer: "I feel I found a weakness in Americans."
I for one welcome our new Japanese Clown overlords.
I was scared of clowns when I was really young. Many years later, ARMS would give me one to add to my favorite Nintendo waifus list
There’s nothing actually scary about clowns, until you talk about the first actual ‘killer clown’
If only they knew that knowledge during WWII.
Honestly, they can't do much worse than the clowns already in office around here. XD
Too bad that nowadays, people don't fear the clown anymore because of Geiru and how she... got larger up top without balloons.
We Broke The Golden Rule: *We Trusted A Clown!*
And it paid off REALLY WELL
@@coltonturbville3851 U Tell Me
I think we can trust these ones.
@Bardock Skywalker and we actually find good clowns. I'm Vietnam Asian American, but I feel as though the "fear of clowns" is like what the creator of ARMS said; "A weak point of Americans."
Krillin: Shots fired!

I love Japan
“ Excuse me sir do you have a Prince Albert in a can? you do? well you better let the poor guy out, Wah HA HA HA HA!”
-Tim “pennywise” Curry
It’s “ Wah Ha! Wah Ha! Wah Ha!”
You picked Sylvando as number one.
*gets up and slowly applauds* You clearly know the best when you see it.
We are of the same mind there, darlings
... StepfordCrimson, is that you?
Honestly, I've been sick and tired of seeing evil killer clowns over and over, so seeing this list of REAL, heroic clowns was a breath of fresh air. Thankyou :)
That's What I Always Kept Saying Not Enough Good (Non-Creepy) Clowns In The World.
Thank you! Glad someone has a similar feeling
I feel like there should also be a list of best villain clowns too though… so here’s mine:
1. Dimentio
2. Circus Baby
3. Kefka
4. Jevil
5. Marx
I’m out of ideas
To be honest, I prefer neutral clowns, clown characters who do what they want just because they can and will. But there aren't much clowns who are chaotic, lawful or pure neutral.
I have never encountered a comment I 1000% agreed with.
UNTIL. KNOW!!!
Finally! I've grown somewhat tired of the whole clowns being portrayed as evil most of the time in fiction. Clowns are suppose to make you laugh and feel good, so its nice to see someone bring that side of them back.
I Made A Fictional Clown Who Will Become A Comic Book Hero Soon As I Have My first Book Published It'll Be Awesome Sauce.
As a man with an intense phobia of clowns, this is a Halloween list for me
At least these clowns aren’t trying to murder you
"Never trust the clown." -Green Scorpion
I don’t see why people are scared of Lola Pop. She’s so cute!🥰
That's how phobia's work: they are an extreme or often irrational fear, you can't help it.
@@DeadlockDrago I remember reading a book called School of Fear, where 4 main characters have to learn to face their fears. Fun fdact, the chapters shows the readers various, mostly weird AF fears; Fear of computors, fear of fire, FEAR OF LONG WORDS????? People and their phobias are VERY weird... 😖
@@peternguyen7530 I mean, fear of fire is pretty understandable, and I can kinda see why a phobia of computers would exist, but LONG WORDS?! Dafaq?
@@Artemus973 I'm as confused on fear of long words as you are dude. Recommend reading School of Fear, very interesting. And I know fear of fire is understandable. The chapters have phobias that are understandable and/or weird.
@@Artemus973 and tell me, why would people be scared of computers? One time, I joked how just looking a computer would make someone with fear of computers get scared, but I'm more confused than anything.
“Is this an actual countdown or a joke?”
Gr. Scorpion: *yes*
Billy: *"Destroy us all!" intensifies*
He'll also have the chicken
Stock up on your tangelos.
Get ready to tap into your inner frat boy!
I'll be honest as a more recently born American than John Wayne Gasie, I thought that joke would be appropriate.
Sylvando building what he calls a “Smile Army” in order to brighten up everyone’s day after the world is thrown into chaos, cemented him as my favorite party member in DQ11.
Sylvando is best boi
Honestly there’s not one party member in DQXI I dislike, makes it so hard to pick a party formation
@@dakotasan8719 I mainly just work with whatever I feel fits the situation, swapping out whenever needed.
Two, four six, eight! Who do we appreciate? Sylvando! Sylvando!
Calling it now. Kefka is on here.
Edit: You sly son-of-a-gun. You saw my guess coming
Hey, I’m just happy he finally got to talk about a Dragon Quest character :3
@@matthewgillis393 Didn’t he talk about Jessica with the whip weilders?
He said in the opening that these are purely clowns who you can trust.
Seeing all that talk on NiGHTS simultaneously made me really happy and sad given the really poor delivery and reception of Balan Wonderworld....We got it...But at what cost?
That aside, great list! Its such a refresher to see a positive list on clowns and such obscure picks as opposed to the ones I was expecting (Kefka, Dimentio, etc.)
Really glad to see Sylvando here! Having completed DQ11 not too long ago, he was one I immediately thought of to get on here. Was not disappointed!
Dropsy is such a great game. Never loved a clown before so much. And im happy i'm not the only one who thought he may have had a disability considering some of the other themes in the game.
Jester in darkest dungeon is so dumb. "Hey man,this fleshy wall just kinda told me dark truths, imma bout to lose it." Jester: *huh...well here's wonderwall*
To be honest, the developers at Red Hook have explicitly stated that stress isn't meant to be insanity. It's meant to be just that...stress. Mounting fears and frustrations, not just from being confronted with eldritch truths, but from common obstacles - being told to press on when your stomach is growling, getting jumpscared by a misfiring cannon, seeing your steadfast companions take a blow in a vital spot or nearly killed, or just searching a long corridor, dreading if you're going to get jumped by monsters or set foot on a trap. The Jester is just relieving the tension - getting the party members to smile at a jaunty tune, or laugh at a horrible pun that contrasts so brightly with the constant gloom and doom of the dungeons.
Sometimes, the best cure for existential dread is just somebody reminding you that even if life is just some cosmic joke, we're only seeing the setup - so the punchline is going to be a doozy!
I'm actually writing a story with a clown as one of the protagonists, and the history of clowns you presented actually gives me some interesting ideas on developing her skill set further :P
Neat! I'd love to read it!
Nice. Good luck with your writing.
I wish you good luck on your writing! In what manner did this video help you developing the character, if it's alright to ask? I'm curious, but I understand if you prefer to keep it secret.
@@jurtheorc8117 Well it's a fantasy story and the clown was gonna use some exaggerated Slapstick, think Jim Carrey's The Mask (not the comic version) in her combat, but the history of clowning being far more vast than I realized I realized she could be more than just a living toon. Plus I want her to be a friendly clown and some Slapstick can translate poorly into other settings.
@@369destroyer My apologies for the late reply, and thank you for having taken the time to describe it.
I actually mainly knew the movie version of The Mask, but from your clarification i remember a panel of it I once saw. When comparing that, the movie is definitely more... friendly, so to speak, compared to the comics. As in, eyeballs popping out of a socket in real life is a lot more nasty than for a cartoon.
How do you mean that some slapstick can translate poorly, if i might ask? Is it something along the lines of differences in culture that you are afraid of?
And yeah, there's quite a bit to clowning! I myself have not looked into clown stuff as a whole though, but mainly looked into European jesters as well as the Pueblo Clowns mentioned in the video. Those especially I find fascinating, as their role was also somewhat religious for the Pueblo peoples like the Hopi.
It's very interesting, both to learn about as well as use for inspiration or integration for stories of one's own.
I can always rely on The Green Scorpion to provide a video on April Fool’s Day that is actually enjoyable and doesn’t annoy or anger me in some way. Thank you Oscar! So much!!!!!!!!
Alright a warm up before weapons month 5
10. Josh is smiling somewhere out there.
9. I got this one right away. What can I say? I really like pokemon.
8. Here's a pair of niche characters that I don't hear about too often.
7. Another niche character. But this one is known to a bunch more people.
6. Huh? Who dis?
5. Well this is an obvious pick for you.
4. Now this is a good pick.
3. No surprise given your last list.
2. We need a new game in this series. Balan Wonderland was a flop!
1. Now here's a character I recently got to know. Fascinating and wonderful!
“The Answer? Is yes.”
And that’s why we love you Oscar. Happy April Fools my dude.
There’s something extremely charming about Nights design. Just something so ethereal and magical about them. I can’t imagine the stunning visuals of new games made for the franchise.
30:00 And it was at this moment, Josh felt a disturbance in the Force.
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, his FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME, made number 10.
@@thegamingknight642 I was referring more towards the "shots fired" toward his favorite character of all time, Kefka.
@@slots777 I knew he wasn't going to make the list because Oscar disclaimed that this was purely devoted to clowns who you CAN trust. Not evil clowns.
@@MrChaotic4 It was a joke.
The way you described Nights was honestly beautiful. It really gave me a new appreciation for the series
Send in the Clowns! Time for a list of fools.
10: The Jester Bringing a start to this list of Battle Clowns
9: The humble Mr. Mime, a whole line of baffoonish Pokemon.
8: A healer who can stop enemy attacks and a buffer who can make you unstoppable... who let the Bards into the clown fest?
7: My favorite stretchy armed Orangutan, the trombrone toting, grape shooting goofball.
6: He might look like a monster, but he's only a hug monster.
5: A Bard he might not be but his performances are welcome in the house of madness.
4: One sad clown, who needed more.
3: Miss Lola? Nice to see you as bronze again.
2: Sega's Jester of Dreams, who knew that in order to do the right this their show must end.
1: A man who's embodying Carnival bringing the smiles all around the world.
And next time.... we return to where it all started: A man and weapons.
I really love how you go into the history of the subject at the beginning, the way that you do that is always one of my favorite things about your videos. Never thought that clowns would have that interesting of a history.
(About the next video)
WEAPONS MONTH,BABY!🏹🎸💉🪓🔨🔧✂️💣🗡️⚔️
That was my first thought as well.
Get's to number 9: "This is why I love your countdowns. Always entertaining AND educational at the same time!"
We shouldn't trust the clowns....and yet we trusted this video.....worth it.
16:09 While I'm here, shoutout to Comics Jesters.
You can't stop the spreader of smiles "THE GREAT SYLVANDO" Darlings...
3:39 Josh Scorcher screams with glee for 2 minutes.
for Sylvando, you made it sound like he doesn;t join until after many intercactions,when he actually joins prtty early
And of the party members, he’s the only one to force himself into your party and is the only one who isn’t duty bound to the Luminary (Erik is told to follow, Veronica and Serena’s duty is to serve him, and Rab and Jade have personal connections to him and see him as family). Unlike another “clown” who forces himself into the party to act as a spy, you really get to see how upstanding a guy Sylv is and how much good he’s already done for the world in his travels to ease any distrust you might have initially had, all of it fairly early on too. Definitely not as mysterious as the analysis makes him seem as about the only thing he actively felt uncomfortable/ashamed about and tried to hide from his comrades is his ties to Don Rodrigo.
A real countdown in an april fools... congrats
This list was so good I am now a LITTLE less scared of clowns......... nah but seriously, seeing how the scary killer clown is so overexposed these days, I’ve always liked when clowns are presented in a positive manner and this list shows what a clown should be, great list man can’t wait for the next one!
We all super appreciate Oscar for being a real one. Giving us an actual video and high quality content.
Number One is Phoenix Wright. He goes above and beyond by not being a clown, but an entire circus.
Spoilers from investigations 2
Simon Keyes would be the entire circus and the Ace attorney joker
We broke the number 1 rule, we trusted a clown
This video was much more educational then original anticipated. Clowns, Mimes, jesters, even the man himself Charlie Chaplin.
This is a history of the haha funny man.
Omg do people who invent memes count as CLOWNS????????
"When you want to scream, put away that frown, and never be scared of a clown!
Laugh on, and on, and on and on and on, and never laugh alooooone!"
I love the Great Sylvando. He's such an upbeat positive character.
The Virgin Kefka: a depressing, angry clown that destroyed the world and betrayed those close to him as well as poisoning and killing an entire city near the beginning of the game.
The Chad Sylvando: a happy, fun-loving, chivalrous jester/knight hybrid who wants the world to be a smiling paradise where anyone can find joy after Mordegon placed ruin upon the world
Oh, phew! That wasn't an April Fools video you'd typically see around that day. IS NICE.
A perfect day of mischief for these ten tricksters.
The clown history you gave us was actually very interesting, as were the characters you chose! Good job! :)
Me after seeing Nights: Yay! An obscure character I know about gets some love!
Me after end of video: Where's Jevil?!
There’s a reason IRL why there’s always gonna be a distrust of clowns. His name is John Wayne Gacy.
I would agree, but Gacy didn’t kill people as a clown. Being a clown was a side hustle for him.
@@andrewollmann304 I’d call it more of a cover than a side hustle.
10. I never played Dark legacy soo Jesters are my type of clowns
9. I do like Mr.rime is the Mr.Mime version of Charlie chaplin
8. OMG i love Child of light and Rubella is a great support, and while i don't use Tristis as offen he unstopable spell is awesome
7. While i never played DK64 i can see the Clown aspect on this Kong
6. That face cought me off guard but i like how well animated expression and the nice clown wants to give people a hug
5. I'm still scared to play this but at least it's good to hear that he can alleviate the stress
4. It's fun to hear about the mexican equivalent of clowns and jesters. I love to see him become a friend of Juan.
3. It's a rare sight of a clown and jesters in fighting games
2. Still want journey of dream HD port and a third nights game becuese i like Night's into dream's.
1. Damn it's like we find a good guy version of Kefka
“Hahahahahahahaha... hahahahahahaha... hoo, hee, hee, ha, ha, hoo hee, ha ha... and I thought *MY* jokes were bad.”
"I believe in what doesn't kill you simply makes you...
*S T R A N G E R.* "
Awesome list, with so much effort and history! Love that best girl Lola-Pop got high on the list, and I'm glad you dug into the lore a bit too. She'd be the perfect clown for celebrations- after all, she's her own party balloon!
Gotta love legit fool-related stuff on this day where many just fool around.
Ah yes... The Jester from Darkest Dungeon...
A character who is on record taking out the Heart of Darkness in one shot, with no losses of the party, using nothing more other than the power of rock and WAY too much space cocaine.
"Truly amusing..."
Historical Lessons about Clowns with Video Game characters thrown in. This is what I subscribe for! Jolly Good Show~
I'm glad Nights got some attention after so many years. I love Nights so much and it's insanely overlooked, even for SEGA games. Not many people know of it's existence. I like it's design and character.
Great top choices. Still need to finish DQ11 but Sylvando is easily my favourite character in that game. He has so much style. NiGHTs is a great choice too & I love their design. Love the European cover artwork of NiGHTs into Dreams.
Never have I seen a list about gaming clowns that genuinely made me smile...and laugh. Best performance yet, Oscar.
Also...the armory is unlocked.
I’m so happy about the number one spot, I love that guy! Thanks for the amazing video!
But the question remains, are we clowns or are we the entire circus?
Yes.
The answer above
Both is good
As the saying goes: "The world is a stages". And since a circus counts as a stage, that means that the world is a circus. And we are the clowns.
Honestly both and I'm cool with that.
“I find clowns delightful.”

“Kids love clowns! I mean, they must love clowns, because I’m an adult and I HATE clowns. Who else would clowns be for?”
-Todd Chavez from BoJack Horseman
I love Clowns And I'm Almost 30.
Fun fact: the word “Carnival” comes from two Latin words which mean “putting away the meat”. Makes its taking place before Lent more understandable.
Wait, themed content on April 1st, instead of a shitty joke?! That’s a rarity!
I wasn’t feeling good today, but I saw this and it cheered me up
Ok, I'ma admit, before I decided to watch this, I did check the video length just to be sure. Well this should be fun
This is a weird coincidence, I was just watching a Krusty episode of The Simpsons.
Krusty Was Always My Favorite Next To Ronald McDonald
I was looking forward to the Clown-Trivia that was to be expected from this video, and to top it off the List isn't about horrorclowns, but about the good kind of clown! I love it!
Now to make this complete is to have a top ten for evil clowns for Halloween
Calling it, either Sweet tooth, injustice joker, or Kefka will be number one
And this is why you are my favorite countdown commuty person. You make actual content om april fools day
I was hoping a certain spellcaster from Tales of Berseria would appear on this list, but technically she counts more as a witch than a clown.
I had the exact same thought.
But yeah the character calls herself a witch multiple times.
Thank you for the excellent section on NiGHTS. Very few folk give them justice and know the background well enough to talk about the themes and stuff.
Yeah the Mr Mime in Detective Pikachu, I was first off put by its design but the comedy routine with it was probably one of the best moments in the entire film. It’s so fun to watch and gets a laugh out of me. So yeah, clown status is obtained there.
Finally a list about me.
Also happy April fool's and belated birthday.
Also I want more clowns.
I should try to play dragon quest
Don't We All?
very much appreciate you bringing some light to the underrated gem that is child of light. Rubella was basically always on my party when battles hit cause she was just so useful in every situation.
I'm sure we all know by now about Aurora's DLC appearance in "Bloodstained."
Rubella and Tristis reminded me of how I’ve always wanted a magician job in an RPG with an FF job system. Seeing as my inspiration from this was Trixie from MLP, though, my concept is very different from what Child of Light did.
Essentially, I see a Magician job as a debuff class. Sure, its stats might be suited to some magic if you pair it with the abilities of an actual mage job, but its own abilities wouldn’t be magic based. Instead, you use the tricks of the trade, a stage magician’s smoke and mirrors, to screw with the enemies and cause status effects. The first example that comes to my mind is using smoke bombs to blind enemies or run away.
Never realized how many clowns there are in gaming
Great countdown
OK, now I really want to see a picture of some, most, or all of these clowns squaring off against the corrupted clowns of gaming
Say What Now???
Got me going there with Kefka. But Sylvando's also a good contender.
The american fear of clowns I will never ever understand, tbh. Clowns have such a fun aesthetic to design with!
It also was a nice call trying to avoid villains for this one, I got to learn of clowns I never heard of before on this list!
Nights 1:Befriend 2 human kids, gain positive energy from their dreams, defeat the big bad who made me. Nights Sequel:Befriend 2 human kids, gain positive energy from their dreams, defeat the big bad who made me. Me:that's literally the same exact game but with a different name, Sega what drugs were you on when deciding that?
24:39 People were scared of Lola? How can you look at that smile and gesture and be scared of her? Just HOW????
Finally, someone who understands that detective pikachu’s mr mime is creepy as shit
Was that ever in contention? He freaked me out.
Felt pretty cathartic when Tim played Mr. Mime's game and played bad cop on that Pokèmon, nothing says threatening interrogation like invisible gasoline and matches
Thanks for making legitimate content, Oscar! I can always count on you to make quality content on the day when everyone else just screws around.
Cicero from Skyrim would've made a great addition to this list.
He's a crazy killer jester who does what he loves and loves what he does, that being murder.
He's fiercely loyal to the Night Mother and whoever she chooses as Listener of the Dark Brotherhood.
If you get him as a follower he's always excited when you come vack to the sanctuary eager to get out there and slit throats which he'd do with gusto.
You actually can help him in a side quest before you get to the sanctuary and if you do he recognizes you. If instead you get him arrested he doesn't hold it against you too much
huh, this is a fitting time to do this list.
Clown Man, Spring Man and Bounce Man: "Come on! At least make us number zero!"
Zero: "Ahem!"
Edgar Ektor: "Oh be quiet. I'm not on here either."
Weapons Month! Let’s go! Great list and can’t wait to see what you got for Weapons Month V.
I'm very afraid of clowns. But I'm only watching this because I'm curious of who's on the list.
Who else, other than myself, would like to see a movie, game, cartoon, comic book, or any other form of media where a heroic clown protagonist does battle against a group of villainous coulrophobia-inducing clowns that parody such popular evil clown figures such as the Joker or Pennywise?
I'm Making A Comic Book Superhero Clown Who Fights Bad Guys (Including Evil Clowns).
This was a fun countdown. Definitely brought a smile to my facing hearing about the lore behind each characters.
If it makes you feel any better about the humanoid Pokémon, they ARE based on various animals and/or creatures from folklore. Jynx is Yama Uba, the Machop line is based off the lungfish...and if some are to be believed, Mr. Mime is actually based on a FROG species! (It's the hands...they DO kinda look like a frog's front feet.) Not sure which species, but I am getting a Red-Eyed Tree Frog vibe. (Same frog used for the gone but not forgotten Rainforest Café.)
*Sees the my favorite character as #1 and I jump for joy*
He the best clown/jester in video game history and I love him so much with all my heart and soul. He has the best character personality and you can never hate him cause how sweet and pure he is willing to help good people and making the whole world happy!🥰
By the way very nice fake out when you announced the number 1 spot
I miss the various Countdowns, always a Joy to see a Green Scorpion vid with research and reasoning put into the lists. These got me hooked on RUclips back in 2011/2012 to begin with.
Thank you!!! You put Lola pop here!!!! She’s my favorite character!
great lost! loved the topic since you revealed it and the execution delivered. i really like how you incorporated kefka into the discussion, particularly for the number one entry, and used him as a means to reinforce why number one is... number one. awesome stuff
Hey scorpion idk if you will ever see this but
Ive been watching your stuff for so long and it amazes me how creative your writing is. Im glad you are still doing this
A beautiful countdown, with an entertaining and stimulating theme, the right amount of trivia, and surprisingly heartfelt towards the end. This is the good stuff!
I had never heard of Child of Light but something about Rubella just resonates with me.
5:34 "Murder Clowns aren't bad as long as they kill right people"
There are too many jokes that comes from this, that I wouldn't voice out
“And they stop hogging all the HEALTH ITEMS!”
When I first saw the intro for number 9, my first thought was Blacephalon from Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.
Although, admittedly, your actual #9 entry also makes sense.
Honestly I absolutely love clowns
Who Wouldn't. 🤡 🎡 🎢 🎠 🤹♀️ 🤹♂️ 🎭 🎪
Clown list for April Fools Day? How appropriate.
You have no idea how glad I am that you don’t do joke videos. Whenever I see channels post videos today I always have to hold my breath and hope for the best. Very glad Sylvando got number 1 he deserved it. Also on that note, um..... After weapons month, top 8 dragon quest 11 party members..... please?
