''Pipo De Clown'' is the brainchild of artist Wim Meuldijk. He is a red-haired, large polka-dotted bowtie-wearing clown who also wears a derby hat. While obscure in most of the world, he has become an icon of Dutch TV for ages, spawning multiple series, a comic series, a musical and a movie.
Pipo is a travelling clown who lives with his wife, Mamaloe, and his daughter Petra, in an attic (it's a trailer pulled by a donkey in other adaptations). He lives to entertain, and he has many adventures with the eccentric people he meets along the way; the adventurous Romani, Felicio, two crooks, a mean boss with a glutton for pie, a Native American who speaks broken Dutch, Klukkluk, and various other characters depending on the adaptation.
At one point, the series was close to dying until Meuldijk's daughter, Belinda, advocated for him on public TV. It took a little nudging, but he was soon able to return to screens, and in 2009 she wrote the songs for Pipo's first musical,

!!The various ''Pepo De Clown'' series have examples of:
*AccentAdaptation: In ''Pipo en de druppels'', Mak is suddenly given an American accent. This is despite his accent being Dutch in prior shows.
*AdaptedOut: Some series remove Petra and Mammaloe. Klukkluk was also removed in ''Pipo and the PP Pearl knight''.
*AllLovingHero: Pipo loves his job because it makes people happy, and loves everything in the world to the point he goes out of his way to greet them.

*BestFriend: Pepo and Klukklukk are best friends, and get up to a lot of shenanigans together, due to sharing the same singular brain cell.
*BilingualBonus: Anyone who's familiar with Native American languages can suss out that Klukklukk is actually spouting complete nonsense.
*{{Blackface}}: Klukklukk is a Native American played by a white man in costume, and he has a habit of saying "An old Native American saying is [incorrect thing]".
*BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Pipo is the fun-loving redhead, Mamaloe is the pretty blonde and Klukkluk is the brainless brunette.
*TheCaligula: King Winter has a heart as cold as the kingdom he rules, but Pipo and Mamaloe are able to convince him to soften up.
*CanonForeigner: Some series tend to introduce new characters to the cast that either become permanent or forgotten. For example, most people associate Pipo with his donkey Nonono, but his first appearance was in ''Pipo en de Waterlanders'' and he wasn't in the prior four series.
*CharacterCatchphrase:
**"Go, Nononono, with your feet!"
**"Hold on, Mamaloe."
**"Sapperdeflap!"
**"An old Native American saying is...".
**"Peanut butter sandwich!"
*CulturallySensetiveAdaptation: This is possibly why Klukkluk was removed in the 2003 movie. At the time the original show was produced, racially insensetive stereotypes were the norm, but in the modern day they're seen as tasteless.
*ADickInName: Pipo's ex-boss, Dikke Deur, only views him as a means to make money and tries to swindle him out of his pay.
*DistaffCounterpart: Pipo's sister, "Plom", who's like him in every way except she's a female.
*HauntedHouse: Auntie Anoushka lives next to a haunted castle and asks Pipo for help in getting rid of the ghost. [[spoiler: It turns out there is no ghost, but a knight that's been snoring for 500 years.]]
*FamedInStory: Pipo is a beloved clown, and his presence is what brings in the bulk of ticket sales at his old circus. This is why his boss doesn't want him to leave, and tries to hunt him down when he quits for good.
*InTheBlood: Pipo and his sister are clowns, while his other sister, Anouska, is a fortune teller. They all have circus-related jobs.
*{{Jerkass}}: Pipo left his old circus because the circus director maltreated him. He refuses to accept Pipo's resignation and harasses him and Klukkluk to rejoin him.
*PutOnABus: When Pipo and Klukkluk set out to Berezonië at the request of Klukkluk's mother, Petra is left in the care of Auntie Anouska.
*PunnyName: Mamaloe, Pipo's wife, is indeed a "mama" to Petra.
*RoguishRomani: Pipo was given his iconic trailer by a Romani named Felicio.
*SharedUniverse: With Mik & Mak, another series also written by Wim Meuldijk. Mik appears in ''Pipo en de Waterlanders''.
*TeamPet: Pipo's family donkey, Nononono, that pulls the trailer they all live in.
*TokenMinority: Klukkluk is the only Native American amongst an all-white cast, and even then, he's more of a cariacture than anything.
*TrademarkFavouriteFood: Klukkluk loves peanut butter, to the point "PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH!" is one of his catchphrases.
*UglyGuyHitWife: Pipo isn't ugly, but he is a goofy looking clown. However, his wife is always played by a pretty blonde.
ValuesDissonance: While popular in the Netherlands, it featured a white man dressed as a Native American, speaking in childlike sentences. Nowadays this seems horribly racist.
''Pipo De Clown'' is the brainchild of artist Wim Meuldijk. He is a red-haired, large polka-dotted bowtie-wearing clown who also wears a derby hat. While obscure in most of the world, he has become an icon of Dutch TV for ages, spawning multiple series, a comic series, a musical and a movie.
Pipo is a travelling clown who lives with his wife, Mamaloe, and his daughter Petra, in an attic (it's a trailer pulled by a donkey in other adaptations). He lives to entertain, and he has many adventures with the eccentric people he meets along the way; the adventurous Romani, Felicio, two crooks, a mean boss with a glutton for pie, a Native American who speaks broken Dutch, Klukkluk, and various other characters depending on the adaptation.
At one point, the series was close to dying until Meuldijk's daughter, Belinda, advocated for him on public TV. It took a little nudging, but he was soon able to return to screens, and in 2009 she wrote the songs for Pipo's first musical,
