No pun intended - and somewhat aimed at Ivan Kaye - once King in the show Vikings. So no connection between those two pieces of arts - apart from the same actor, but in very different roles. A great actor and he has quite a few good people (well not "good" in that sense) surrounding him.
A violent movie that has some jokes - but even they are mostly violent/brutal. So yes clowns are not (meant to be) fun ... that should be seen as a given, if you watch a horror movie including clowns. The story is quite simple, as are the characters. But apart from some criticism, it will not really surprise you or anything. Just go with the flow and enjoy it for what it is ... it is quite decent ... which cannot be said about the characters ...
Plot summary

The clown is dead - long live the clown
Clowns are still not fun
Excellent remedy for wasting an hour and forty-two. Given the initial premises, it seemed interesting. Then it turns out to be a product without ideas, without a precise audience, a lot of improvisation, English humor - poor, even for its Englishness - poorly characterized characters, gratuitous violence, empty or non-existent plot development, characters who continually scream, without reason, (why?). The director confuses intelligent satire with post-modern nonsense and pastiche. He almost seems to beg the audience to be indulgent, exactly like the protagonists of the story. It's as if they tried to manipulate material that they were absolutely incapable of manipulating. And it shows.
A decent comedy
I thought this film was alright and better than some reviews would give. Some down on their luck clowns go to the almighty clown the first funerals. While their my favourite clown of the bunch, funzo causes a continuous faud with a statue of liberty Nd another man. Her along with bobo, and three other clowns end up in jail with a roster but when they get out the world seems to have ended. The clowns then set out to find other humans. Put on a show and give their late friend the burial he deserves. I thought the cast was pretty good and each clown was unique and actually pretty funny. The plot was something you don't always see either. Overall a good comedy.
