Bozo the clown dies... Redz weeps

If you haven't read it, R.D. Reyonold's Wrestlecrap book (the first one, not the book of lists) is a great look at all the bad gimmicks in pro wrestling - he gives a lot of props to Doink though, before he jumped the shark so to speak, an evil clown - brilliant

He's no Goobly Gooker...

I think it was the Gobbledey Gooker (way to nitpick...sorry)

I have to admit,

I was always a huge Bob Keeshan fan (the original Clarbell the Clown & Captain Kangaroo), much more so than Bozo.

Not sure why I felt compelled to share that but I did.


Also a huge fan of the Dickies hit "Killer Clowns".

Best Clown song;  Tears of a Clown -- Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
Best Clown move:  Greatest Show on Earth -- James Stewart plays a clown/ fugitive
Best TV Clown:  Red Skelton -- a little creepy at times, but funny sometimes too (sorry Bozo)
Best all-time clown:  Emmet Kelly (see below as Weary Willy)

I actually won on Bozo.  If you remember the show at all, he would draw a post card from a bin and whatever the kid on the show would win so would the kid whose post card he drew.  He drew my postcard...  the kid who was playing for me sucked though... I got bubblegum soda and thats about it.  RIP Bozo.

That's awesome.  As a kid one of my biggest fears was to get my name drawn and then have some doofus completely whiff on the grand prize game.  It used to drive me nuts when some of those kids didnt even seem to try hard.

doofus is perhaps one of my favorite words.  It's kid friendly and light hearted.  It takes the mean out of calling someone out.  TP.

I have a friend that drops the name "ding dong" in conversation.  "On the way over here some ding dong cut me off on the interstate."  Kills me every time.

Wow, I was just searching for an old thread and found this one.  I was at a friends wedding that day and never saw. 

A belated buh bye to Bozo...



Anyone remember Willie Whistle?  He was kind of annoying!
