Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 07:20I am person who normally hates mimes and clowns, but this video has completely changed my mind. I feel like my mind has exploded in my head and I have brain fluid dripping out of my ears.
Posted by speaker7 | December 5, 2012, 07:16Speaker7,
And that fluid coming out of your ears is not lube?
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 07:30Le Clown,
There is a 70% chance it could be.
Speaker7
Posted by speaker7 | December 5, 2012, 07:32Love the video. Oh to have a clipping of your hair!
Posted by Vanessa Chapman | December 5, 2012, 07:34Vanessa,
My hair has been known to keep people warm during Canadian winter. Take that, Prince William… A knitted onesie made out of Le Clown’s hair is just what the Royal couple needs for their baby on the way…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 07:37Great. Today I was going to post a video of when I shaved my mustache and now I have to come up with something completely different.
Posted by La La | December 5, 2012, 07:35La La,
You could shave your toe hair…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 07:37Actually, that could work. And what’s your address?
Posted by La La | December 5, 2012, 16:12Le Clown,
So that’s what those little baggies are for…and I now have your credit card number, ha!

Posted by aFrankAngle | December 5, 2012, 07:42Frank,
Here’s an honest suggestion. Try a few episodes of Adventure Time. They make our family smile. Seriously.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 08:05Way above and beyond the call of duty and Le Weirdness, but bravo to all involved; I particularly liked the big ‘oh’ effect of the shaving…..I meant your facial expression of course.
Posted by wordswithnannaprawn | December 5, 2012, 07:48Anna,
“Way” is something Le Clown does well: way better than others, way more funny, way out of left field, way more modest than most…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 08:07I would love to see more Le Mime videos, perhaps enlightening us on famous Canadian people or events that people outside Canada may be woefully unaware of. Trés bien!
Posted by blogless wonder | December 5, 2012, 07:56Blogless Wonder,
I intend on making more. They are pleasant to make, and scare my kids.
I have attached a few more at the bottom of this post, and there are a few more for you here.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 07:58Oh Le Clown, the Le Mime vlogs are my favorite thing I’ve seen at your circus! Thank you for the directions to the correct le tent.
Posted by blogless wonder | December 5, 2012, 15:00The surprise ending reminded me of an M. Night Shyamalan movie….
Posted by Christopher De Voss | December 5, 2012, 07:58Chris,
When M. Night Shyamalan was good that is, circa those two movies, right..?
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 08:00Of course, I was thoroughly shocked.
Posted by Christopher De Voss | December 5, 2012, 08:01What did happen with the happening movie? Did the intern edit that one? Was that really the plot? Is the director finally going crazy? So weird… so very very weird…
Posted by Soul Walker | December 6, 2012, 13:24Your mime skills are amazing. Great video, and well done on the Movember project!
Posted by RFL | December 5, 2012, 08:53Rachelle,
I studied mime at the School of I think I Can Do Everything and Eat Shit if You Think Otherwise. I graduated with honours.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:03Snort. Well I believe you probably can do anything, no shit eating over here. I am curious, after seeing this video, and knowing about your mime school days now, if I missed your skateboarding video?
Posted by RFL | December 5, 2012, 16:08Le Clown,
I believe you probably can do everything, except maybe skateboarding (unless I missed a video somewhere) so I will not be dining on shit today.
Rachelle

Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:19Reblogged this on tracy fulks and commented:
My bestie clown in the whole wide world. Do yourself a favor and check out his mustache shaving video, you will thank me later.
You’re Welcome.
Posted by tracy fulks | December 5, 2012, 08:56My tears rained down with each destructive stroke which took that masculine mustache away. This was a beautful piece that evoked emotions from me which I didn’t know I could feel. A brilliant production all the way around. Two thumbs way, way, way, way, way up.
Posted by twindaddy | December 5, 2012, 09:00Twin Daddy,
I tried adding an extra dimension to the video, like dancing to the music, but I have two left feet, and it was taking a great deal of the creative depth and integrity away…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:27Le Clown,
The video was brilliant nonetheless. I was moved.

Posted by twindaddy | December 5, 2012, 09:30Sweet baby jesus!

Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:42it takes bravery, talent, and great security with one’s manhood to create that.
yet somehow you managed to do it anyway. (ha! couldn’t help it)
well done. love the silent film-style graphics.
Posted by rich | December 5, 2012, 09:06Rich,
Your comment made me lawl at work. What you’re telling me is that I should have filmed the last sequence with my larger prostate massager, right?

Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:10Well done on your Bloggers for Movember effort.
Since you keep nail clippings, dried baby phlegm, and dead skin, I will never borrow anything from your spice cabinet (unless I’m making a witch’s brew).

Posted by Peaches | December 5, 2012, 10:05Where can we purchase Le Clown action figures?
Congratulations! And Big Thanks, to all, for Movember success.
Posted by Victoria | December 5, 2012, 09:08Victoria,
Le Clown’s action figure is only available in real size dimensions, and unfortunately, it must be blown-up, which requires a bit of work on your side.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 10:08hahaha!
Not sure how it would be work, or unfortunate. But I believe you.
Posted by Victoria | December 6, 2012, 10:17Oh, Le Clown, what does one say about a video like this? I particularly enjoyed how you cut your mustache hair into lines. That was a nice touch. I am now sad that I didn’t enter the contest so that I could have had a chance to win myself. At least I have my own mustache hair to keep me warm at night.
Posted by Madame Weebles | December 5, 2012, 09:11At least you won SOMEONE’S contest. Which, by the way, I attempted to send you an e-mail about. If you haven’t gotten me or Tim’s e-mails please e-mail ME! 25tofly@gmail.com
Sorry Le Clown for crashing this commment.
Posted by becca3416 | December 5, 2012, 09:37Becca,
You’re royalty on this blog. Crash whatever you want, unless it’s my pretty face.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:41Good, now can you fix my other comment before people think I am unworthy of my royal status?
Posted by becca3416 | December 5, 2012, 09:45That’s true, I DID win a contest, and I’m tickled pink! I got your email, didn’t receive one from Tim but I’m going to figure out what I want my image to look like and email him. Thanks!
Posted by Madame Weebles | December 5, 2012, 09:45Weebs,
Some old habits are still so well-ingrained in me, it took a great deal of self-restraint to not snort my facial pubes.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:53Wow. Makes me wish the years to fly by, so that my heritage can kick in, and my own mustache will appear, allowing me to shave it off and send it to someone. Perhaps it will be….you?
Posted by Addie | December 5, 2012, 09:12Addie,
I will ask Santa Claus and Baby White Jesus to make this wish come true.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:55You mean the Baby Jesus in the Swaddling Clothes? Yay!! (ask him to ixnay on the eardbay, though)
Posted by Addie | December 5, 2012, 10:17Le Clown, I do humbly accept your invitation for leading Bloggers for Movember 2013. I have big clown shoes to fill.
A Becca on Fire sounds dangerous, yet sexy… like I am a King of Lean song remix. Sounds legit to me.
Posted by becca3416 | December 5, 2012, 09:43Becca,
I’m so very happy you have accepted to lead BFM for 2013. That’s it for my appreciation.
I’m lying. Enjoy next week… It will be one hell of a Becca ride.

Posted by becca3416 | December 5, 2012, 09:51Le Clown,
I just have one question…Why is your upper lip still dark after shaving the mustache?
Cathy
Posted by Cathy Ulrich | December 5, 2012, 09:45Cathy,
It’s a very valid question. When you live in Canada, you fight subzero temperatures on a daily basis. And when you’re a polar bear hunter like I am, the cold has a damaging effect on your skin when you hunt naked. My skin is like leather. Simply.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 09:47Le Clown,
Thank you. I think I’ll avoid hunting polar bears naked on my visits to Canada…
Cathy
Posted by Cathy Ulrich | December 5, 2012, 09:51Since you thanked everyone else, I want to thank you for immersing yourself into the cause.

Posted by Pigeon Heart | December 5, 2012, 15:01I feel badly for your facial hair. Being so close to you all those weeks, and now being ripped away from your magnificent face…
Posted by Jen and Tonic | December 5, 2012, 10:49Jen,
Listen. I was always quite vocal and honest and transparent: Le Clown can be an ass. I’m still baffled that he can part so easily with a part of himself… He is such a twat.

Posted by Shannon.Kennedy | December 5, 2012, 11:48Fantastic!!! I am so happy to learn that this is a real song. Just loved the way he was grooving away .. to a song about moustaches.

Posted by The Bumble Files | December 5, 2012, 12:00A french Canadian clown shaves off his mustache to send to his adoring fans sounds creepy when you think about it, but the execution makes it delightful. Happy cloning to the winners!
Posted by rollergiraffe | December 5, 2012, 13:09Roller Giraffe,
One one think it might be creepy, but one must remember that we live in a country where Stephen Harper rules, and where “artists” like Nickelback, Céline Dion and Justin Bieber make it big in this world….. I’m like a pair of beige Gap khaki pants in comparison.

Posted by mabukach | December 5, 2012, 14:27This was a fabulous video with an amazing soundtrack. On a related note I was visiting France in 1992 and was surprised to find that Freddy seemed to be a national radio hero… I kept waiting for some French music to broaden my horizons… and instead kept hearing him rocking the microphone to pieces. Another related note (this one a bit sad): on that same trip the most beautiful girl I saw was American (sigh…).

I am wondering, though, what will your next cause be?
Posted by shapelle | December 5, 2012, 14:10Shapelle,
You ask the tough questions. My most precious cause is of course Le Clown, and whatever I can do to flatter his ego. But. Mental health is something I care deeply about, for many personal reasons (this is why I maintain a second blog, Black Box Warnings), so I might just do something for a smaller player… We’ll see…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | December 5, 2012, 14:16Let me know if you do.
Posted by Soul Walker | December 5, 2012, 14:34FUCK YEAH! THAT MOVIE WAS AWESOME! Really like the editing and the soundtrack, you are a creative genius.
I was a little disappointed that you didn’t accidentally made a Hitler-mustache, cause you could totally be a doppelganger. Little square mustache, hair to the side and, holy hell, you look like him!
I hope I didn’t offend your Frenchness with that, eh, what the hell…
Posted by Daan van den Bergh | December 5, 2012, 15:14Daan the Maan,
