* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/TomKenny was a few years away from appearing on ''Series/MrShow'' and a few more years from becoming a prolific voice actor, most notably as the voice of WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants. Also Creator/AdamSandler had only just become a "featured player" on Series/SaturdayNightLive earlier the same year the film came out, and had definitely not become known in the mainstream by this point, having appeared in only a half dozen episodes.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The movie didn't do too well in theaters, even though most people would say it isn't that bad. But it just couldn't find its niche. On one hand, it's about birthday party clowns who never take off their makeup even when not working, so despite its R-rated raunchy humor, the premise was too ridiculous for adults. On the other hand, the clowns drink heavily, sleep around (sometimes contracting venereal diseases), snort cocaine, and commit numerous acts of violence, including hate crimes against mimes - so it was too dark for kids. The result was a film that wasn't very funny and worth seeing only for novelty value (i.e., "the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown films").

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Was commonly rented by moms who later returned to the video store with the video and a good mad expression on. Despite the R-rating, and Julie Brown being on the cover lying on her stomach [[MaleGaze in a way that allows you to look directly down her cleavage,]] many thought this was kiddie fare. (You'd think [[WhatAnIdiot the cleavage on the cover would clue them in]]). The {{Tagline}} "DON'T Bring The Kids!" makes this mistake entirely inexcusable.
