not humiliating enough. there should be a row of mounted water guns children can put a quarter into that lets them squirt smokers like they're riding a log flume

for the last year I have read every post on the NYC Wedding subreddit and none of them have been as hateful as "I teach clown at Circus Academy, and what you're looking for is a children's entertainer and face painter, not a clown."
Screenshot of reddit post titled "ISO a clown for my wedding". Text of post reads: As title states, I'm looking for some good clown recommendations!

I would like to hire a clown that wears a red nose / dresses up as a traditional clown and can do face painting and maybe some other stuff like juggling, miming, some tricks and just overall have a good clownish time. Looking to hire this clown for an hour or two for my wedding on October 23rd. Ideally under $600 for a couple of hours.

I've looked online for clowns in NYC but have no idea how to tell if they're actually good so i've come to reddit looking for answers! Please send over any clowns you've hired that you've been happy with - no artsy comedy collective clowns/comedians.

If there are any other subreddits you think I should post this to, lmk!Screenshot of reply: I teach clown at Circus Academy New York, and what you're looking for is a children's birthday party entertainer and face painter, not a clown. You'll be best off hiring from companies that specialize in children's entertainment. Unfortunately, I don't personally have connections to face painters and children's entertainment, but I'm replying so you use the right keywords in your Google search. If you search for "traditional" clowns in NYC, you're more likely to end up with people like me, what you're calling "artsy" or "comedy" clowns, because clowning as an art is much older than when people started face painting kids in the 1970s. Famous examples of the style are Charlie Chaplin or Ed Wynn, you may also get actual commedia dell'Arte from the 16th century. That's because NYC also has a thriving theatre and circus and burlesque scene, all of which use traditional (1500s - 1800s) clowning, so the search results for "traditional" clown slant heavily in that directio

one thing the Israeli government could have done to make me believe its story about Al Shifa hospital would be to not have spent the last month repeatedly telling me confirmed lies

my boyfriend’s new apartment has one of those absurd “smart” ovens and it has a “food facts” feature. every day it presents you with a new fact about food. here’s what we’ve learned so far

there is a tiktok food influencer/cookbook author who has never posted a single recipe that worked for me. it’s almost more impressive than created a few decent recipes I make and forget about

you’re “looking for 15K of my closest friends.” I’m earning each and every one back through a post tailored to their specific interests. we are not the same

the “temporary tattoos that naturally fade away” company (whose tattoos are NOT temporary and do NOT fade away) has a new marketing campaign lmao
screenshot of a tiktok ad. the image is someone getting “jonathan” tattooed on their rib cage. the caption on the video reads “get a tattoo of their name ‘cus it doesn’t have to last forever”

I worked the phones/front desk at my college admissions office, and roughly once a month a white parent would (1) ask what the racial quotas for admissions were (2) roll their eyes when told no college has a racial quota system for admissions

many of you are going to miss Succession because you liked getting together with friends to watch awful people fight on TV. remember that Bachelorette season 20 premieres in three weeks

Something off about Elon describing Epstein as a “cretin” and a “dumb crook”. Not really how anyone would describe sex crimes that spanned decades and continents.
