/* Little Clowns of Happytown */


''Little Clowns of Happytown'' is an American animated children's show that aired on Creator/{{ABC}} Saturday morning from September 1987 to July 1988. It centers around a group of clowns from Happytown--Big Top, Badum-Bump, Hiccup, Tickles, Pranky, and Blooper, their pet elephant Rover and their mentor, Mr. Pickleherring--who go around spreading happiness and helping others with their problems while dealing with the ObviouslyEvil Awful B. Bad and his minions, Geek and Whiner, who constantly get in their way with their shenanigans.

Added DiffLines:

* AbusiveParents: Implied with Awful Bebad, Geek, and Whiner. In "New Dad, No Dad" it's implied he adopted his henchmen when they go on a "Father-Kid Campout". However, Awful Bebad yells at them, calls them worthless, and almost let Geek die in "Won't You Please Come Home, Blooper, Geek?"

You Gotta Have Blue Hair is now a redirect to an index, not a trope. This example does not have enough context to move to another trope.


* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Since they're all clowns, the little clowns all have hair in different colors, namely red, yellow, and blue.

Added DiffLines:

** "Please Won't You Come Home Blooper... Geek?" Kind of sends a bad message too. While Blooper shouldn't have run away because his friends and sister really care about him, Geek was more justified since Awful Bebad seems outright abusive and only wanted his gloomer back.

Added DiffLines:

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: The clowns are the good team, Bebad, Whiner and Geek are evil, although to call Geek evil is a bit of a stretch, as he seems to be more of a MinionWithAnFInEvil than heinous.


Added DiffLines:

* PunchClockVillain: Geek only seems to work for Awful B. Bad because it's a job, and the show's BlackAndWhiteMorality - even though he's a FriendlyEnemy to Blooper.
