| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhRnWMBcNQQ His heel theme]]. |
| 2 | * BadassDecay: Went from a terrifying and vicious MonsterClown during his heel days to a [[NonIronicClown goofy and bumbling]] comic relief as a face (complete with a midget sidekick). |
| 3 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: As a heel. Website/WrestleCrap has often brought heel Doink up as one of the only redeeming gimmicks of the New Generation era. |
| 4 | * MemeticMutation: |
| 5 | ** "KILL THE CLOWN! KILL THE CLOWN! KILL THE CLOWN!" [[note]] This stems from an infamous RAW match in 1995 where Waylon Mercy had Doink in a sleeper hold, which caused fans to begin chanting this, a reflection of the character’s unpopularity by this point. [[/note]] |
| 6 | ** [[WebVideo/OSWReview "Doink, brah! Making kids cry, brah!"]] |
| 7 | ** "The clown is down." [[note]] Wrestling/JimCornette has told the story that young fans turned on Doink at a WWF show in the '90s, knocking him over in the process. Longtime agent Rene Goulet repeated the message to the back in his French-Canadian accent, which became a running joke within the company locker room. [[/note]] |
| 8 | * NightmareFuel: His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhRnWMBcNQQ entrance theme.]] You can't say it isn't just a little bit chilling. |
| 9 | * TheScrappy: Fan opinion differs on Doink's heel run, but his time as a face is pretty much agreed upon by everybody as the ultimate symbol of everything wrong with the WWF in the early '90s. |
| 10 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks[=/=]ItsPopularNowItSucks: Doink's face turn is pretty much the UrExample, {{Trope Namer|s}} and TropeCodifier all at the same time. |
