* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Subverted in the episode ''Be A Clown''; the Joker disguises himself as a party clown by stealing the outfit of an actual party clown and he manages to pull out some good laughter before he decides to drop of his disguise. Especially the kids love "Jekko the Clown". The party guests don't learn that the Joker is disguised since he leaves the party before the birthday cake explodes (and his plan is foiled by Bruce Wayne, no less) and the birthday kid in question looks up to "Jekko" because he wants to become a magician himself, going so far to run away from home and follow "Jekko". But once "Jekko" starts acting AxCrazy, the kid questions him and "Jekko" reveals his true identity.

* Zigzagged with the clown in the ''WesternAnimation/HamsterAndGretel'' episode "Birthday Besties". At first he's believed to be the culprit of a series of birthday-related crimes because he looks angry, but it turns out he's innocent and "angry clown" is just his character (as "happy clown" and "sad clown" have been done to death, bit "angry clown" is an untapped market). The actual culprit is [[spoiler: a sentient bouncy castle]], and the clown helps to apprehend it.

** [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Popplio]] takes on quite the uncanny clown appearance, complete with red nose and frilled neck, and even uses its nose bubbles as makeshift balloons to bounce around or upon.

** [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Popplio]] takes on quite the uncanny clown appearance, complete with red nose and frilled neck, and even uses its nose bubbles as makeshift balloons to bounce around or upon. Interestingly enough, while Popplio's first evolved form, Brionne, retain's Popplio's clown-like features, its final form, Primarina, loses them altogether and instead resembles a ''mermaid''.

* The Jester from ''VideoGame/{{Figment}} 2: Creed Valley'' is an unusual example. Although they initially seem like a MonsterClown, they actually represent [[spoiler:[[GoodAllAlong the Mind's childish innocence]], and they only became antagonistic [[ThenLetMeBeEvil because they were abandoned and treated like a monster]]]]. After Dusty reasons with them, [[spoiler:they redeem themselves and go back to being the fun, innocent clown they once were]].

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': One of the titular "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E79FiveCharactersInSearchOfAnExit Five Characters in Search of an Exit]]" is an interesting take on this trope. He's not scary in any sense of the word -- but he is extremely cynical and borderline depressed, making darkly humorous comments about the group's situation and occasionally breaking down, revealing that he's just as frightened and confused as the rest of the group.

* Coni Confetti of WebAnimation/IdolCorp is a [=VTuber=] with a clown aesthetic. Though she is not a ''traditional'' clown in terms of performance, she certainly qualifies in that she entertains her audience by fooling around.
