Class Clown	comment	The Class Clown is...yes, Bobby? "Please, Miss Friedland. Are they a really expensive circus performer?" Yes, very funny Mr. Henley. Now, can anyone tell me why this trope is so popular? I presume you have something to add this time Bobby? "Is it because it alliterates, miss?" That's it, Robert Bernard Henley! See me after class! This is about that one kid in the class who has to be the center of attention. They're often a Keet or Genki Girl. Depending on how they're played they might be genuinely entertaining and popular, an Attention Whore or Bratty Half-Pint who everyone looks down upon or an annoying Jerk Jock. For added irony they might well become a teacher after a Time Skip. Sometimes you have pairs of class clowns who are Those Two Guys, school aged Fat and Skinny are most prone to this. They're frequently The Nicknamer and Plucky Comic Relief, and may end up as a Non-Ironic Clown. In more serious works they're almost certainly a Sad Clown or Stepford Smiler, and may be the Teacher's Unfavorite Student. Sometimes some of them can be a little rough with their humour, skirting the line with The Bully at times. Examples

Just some of the things she was reprimanded for over the years include drawing rude stick figures in the boys' dormitory, spitting on the nice carpets, pulling a Laxative Prank on a special guest speaker, doing a victory jig on the lunch table after being selected as tribute, painting a penis on the camouflage instructors forehead (and another one on the floor when he left to clean up), calling the fire and shelter trainer Davy Crockett and the archery instructor Pocahontas, playing King of the Mountain on the official climbing wall and starting a food fight. Before winning the 55th Hunger Games Mitt Compton was one, always disrupting class with jokes back in District 6, painting mustaches on the training dummies and treating his interview with Caesar like a "comedy club."

Class Clown / int_ee77a8e2	comment	Raimu "Rairi" Kouno of Kaiju Girl Caramelise was this in middle school, being very good-humored about her gorilla-like appearance and having a general interest in comedy theater, where a lot of her humor came from making fun of her own appearance. This stopped when her crush making fun of her appearance behind her back traumatized her and made her very insecure about her looks.

Class Clown / int_ef343863	comment	Hank is this in Hank Zipzer. It's a deliberate ploy on his part to use humour to divert attention away from his learning difficulties: figuring that it is better to have the class laughing with him rather than at him.

Class Clown / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends: Chandler mentioned he was voted class clown in high school. In the present day, he's the reigning Deadpan Snarker of the gang, sometimes lapsing into Sad Clown / Stepford Snarker territory.

Class Clown / int_fcf34eec	comment	Sousuke of Full Metal Panic! doesn't try to be one. In fact, he takes his class duties very seriously and strives to be as helpful and productive as possible, even joining the student council as the Head of Security. It's just that he has no idea how to act like a good student instead of the Crazy Survivalist Child Soldier he grew up as, so he winds up disrupting class in absolutely absurd ways such as releasing smoke bombs in class (obstinately to calm the class down) or systematically dismantling his teacher's brand new Mini Cooper (suspecting the unfamiliar vehicle might be a Car Bomb). Ms. Kagurazaka has taken to addressing him separately from the rest of the class just to remind him how done she is with his "assistance".

Class Clown / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls episode "A Tale of Two Stans" implies that "Grunkle" Stan Pines was one in his youth, supported by clips of him fooling around at school during the growing-up montage. However, this trope is deconstructed- Stan spent more time clowning around than studying, his future plans summed up as "Let my smarter twin brother do the heavy thinking", and when his family got fed up with this attitude and cut him off, found himself without any serious skills to get by in the world.
