Tricky the Clown
|
Tricky the Clown was one of Newgrounds' first memes and harkens back to a time when it was a place of tomfoolery and silliness, like the rest of Web 1.0.
History
No-one cares who invented Tricky; it's likely that this blammed movie was first . However, famous NGer dwarf 'DanPaladin' (aka Synj) is widely credited with popularising the meme with his seminal piece 'xkittyfroggymeowmeow'. It existed to punish the epileptics who had managed to survive all the other crappy Dragonball Z ripoffs other people had submitted. The image soon managed to end up burned into the retinas of all who viewed it; there were periods where it was hard to escape. People would have nightmares, full of flashing lights and circus music, in which they got raped, painfully, by a clown.
And Tricky became a mascot for the rest of the confused children who dared to tread across the wasteland of the NG portal.

Technique
The movie ^_^!DANCYNIP!^_^ set up Tricky's modus operandi: entering unannounced to circus music, waving his penis about, and then leaving the screen, allowing the storyline to continue. This was followed by the Clock Crew movie 'N' perhaps the most important movie of all the Tricky movies and the one others aspired to be like. Tricky was very much the screamer of his day, although instead of the viewer being affronted by scary pictures and loud noises, they were treated to rather jovial music, a seizure-inducing background, and a famous clown with his penis out. Newgrounds should be ashamed how well it caught on.
The Present
Tricky later became a character in the Madness Combat series. This killed it. He started off acting similarly, but the present day Tricky bares little resemblance to its initial premise. Many NG noobs are currently unaware of Tricky in its earliest conception and some of them haven't even seen Madness Combat.
The concept of jovial abuse to the viewer is as strong as ever at Jewgrounds, with a constant barrage of spam groups attempting to create something as iconic as Tricky. So far, all have failed.
It's not over yet
Guess what happens at the end of Fulp's turd of a game "Castle Crashers"... Or just watch for yourselves.
A sad attempt to make a callback gag about the time NG was still good.
