One of the things I notice is that most people both online and offline focus on how a clown looks. It makes sense that people are very visual and clowns certainly are too. I’m guilty myself where I focus so much on the aesthetics but a clown isn't supposed to just look funny but act funny. 

I recently found this picture and it made me realize I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of a clown doing such a perfect fall. I’m sure in video format you can see great falls but this picture looks so real. I really feel like she is actually falling and it makes me nervous haha. Making your fall look convincing can be very dangerous so it takes a lot of practice. Its even more convincing because the arms reaching for her don't look like clown arms so either someone who isn’t a clown was involved with the skit or she’s really falling.

Mr. Peabody: "you see, humour is not immune to the laws of science. Using algorithms to extrapolate what is universally considered 'funny'. Thus producing a formula that is scientifically certain to cause laughter. Case in point, the pratfall."

Mr. Peabody: falls on his nose
