You know, Butterscotch doesn’t eat children like Pennywise from It, but, because he’s real to everyone and dances the most eerie dance ever, he might be almost as scary.
Enjoy Andrés du Bouchet and Todd Levin’s creation once more here.
The latest adaptation of Stephen King’s It is a box office hit, which has many clowns upset for allegedly promoting the idea that clowns are scary.
On last night’s Conan, O’Brien “let” one such clown (that’s some sort of unholy cross between Tim Curry’s Pennywise and John Wayne Gacy’s Pogo The Clown) “speak” to this injustice.
We’ve said it for awhile and we’ll keep saying it, Conan still has the best sketches in late night and this (written by Todd Levin) is just one more piece of proof.
For those wondering, that’s Andrés du Bouchet under all that objectively scary clown make-up.
The folks responsible for writing some of the funniest things in late night are doing a show this Monday night at Flappers. That includes Conan staff writers Laurie Kilmartin, Brian Kiley, Dan Cronin, Todd Levin, Andrés du Bouchet, Levi MacDougall, and Jose Arroyo.
Tickets are $10 (with a two item minimum) and you can (and should) get them here.
