Jester Cane Fancy Dress Costume Accessory

Product Information

Sad Clown: A very literal example, considering his noted tendency to tell jokes before abstracting.

Walking Spoiler: They're nearly impossible to talk about not only without also revealing that Kaufmo has turned into one of them, but also without establishing just how bad things will get for the performers if they don't keep their sanity intact. Poor Communication Kills: When Pomni says she saw an exit, Caine insinuates that there is no exit door and that she was just suffering a digital hallucination. In reality, he never finished developing something to put behind the exit door and didn't want anybody seeing his unfinished work. His insistence, on the other hand, made Pomni think the exit door was an actual way out of the Circus, leaving her to almost strand herself in the void. Gilded Cage: The Digital Circus is a giant bright, colorful and cheery place full of fun, games, as much food as Caine can conjure and whatever adventure he can imagine to keep the performers immersed all day. The catch is that there is no way out and the place snags its unwitting victims from the real world for an eternity of games that not even death can save them from. Even with their whimsical new toy bodies and apparent immortality no one save for Caine is enjoying what's effectively Hell with a circus theme. Older Than They Look: She's 30, but because her digital avatar is a ragdoll, she looks like a child magically made bigger. Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: The sclera of his eyes are yellow, and his introductory short has him prank Ragatha by tripping her.

Amscan Boys

Cannot Tell a Joke: Implied: Gangle feels terribly guilty for not laughing at his jokes and Ragatha admits she couldn't fake a convincing laugh at them herself. Not even the two kindest (and two of the sanest) characters of the lot could find humor in whatever he was telling.

Assimilation Plot: The Queen claims that she wants to turn everything into Gloinks, including God Himself. The profession of aluzinnu provides the possibility that the jester may have been a recognisable role in ancient Mesopotamia (see this paper from Maddalena Rumor on the subject). It seems the term first occurred in the 20th century BC, with other words appearing next to it being related to laughter and humour, e.g. musihhu (“clown” – “he who brings to laugh”). Letters from the first half of the second millennium BC concern the attire of the aluzinnu and describe his relationship with the palace. There is mention of 60 elaborate hats/turbans and 35 pairs of boots or gaiters, reminiscent of the clothes and shoes worn by European court jesters. It appears the aluzinnu was provided with “eccentric clothes and accessories” by the palace administration. And I Must Scream: If there's anything of the people they once were still in there, they're undoubtedly not having a good time. White Gloves: They all have gloves for hands barring Ragatha's three-fingered hands, Gangle's Fingerless Hands and the claw on Zooble's left arm. When he reveals he had a key double for Kaufmo's room, he reveals he has one for every performer (and that he hid centipedes in Ragatha's room too).

Circus NPCs

Non-Standard Character Design: Sort of. He's the only one of the main cast to be perfectly symmetrical. Tender Tears: She has tears constantly hanging from her eyes on her sad mask, and seems to be very sensitive. Older Than They Look: The creator has clarified Pomni is 25 but her small stature, child-like face and wimpy demeanor has given some fans the impression she's a minor. Jax may have thought the same given he refers to her as "kid" shortly after meeting her despite being younger.

No Sense of Personal Space: His enthusiastic personality causes him to near-constantly get up in the performers' faces, to their visible discomfort.

Dirty Coward: He abandons Pomni and Ragatha almost immediately after they open Kaufmo's room and find out he abstracted. Then, he pushes Kinger and Gangle down the Gloink hole and joins them in the Gloink lair solely so he could stay as far away as possible from Kaufmo. Expressive Mask: Her mask's eyes and mouth move like it's a normal face, but once it comes off, it becomes frozen into whichever mood she was feeling at the time. W.F. Fry dates the “rudimentary elements of contemporary humor” to 6.5 million years ago, a figure that represents the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens and chimpanzees. However, this misses the last common ancestor of humans and orangutans, which is approximately 14 million years old. This means the rudimentary origins of laughter could be at least 14 million years old. Joseph Polimeni and Jeffrey P. Reiss state: Happy Harlequin Hat: Her clown outfit comes with a two-pointed jester's cap. Pomni herself however, is anything but happy. Big Bad Wannabe: The Gloink Queen was conjured by Caine to be the Big Bad of the "Gather the Gloinks" adventure, but none of the cast take it seriously, and the Queen ends up being trounced by the Abstracted Kaufmo, an actual threat to the performers that eclipses anything the Gloink Queen could have done.

Fisher Queen: When she discovers the computer in one of the rooms after the "exit" and starts losing it, the lights appear to start burning. Well-Intentioned Extremist: The reason why he subjects the cast to their (accidental) torment is because he's trying to understand them better. His method of "understanding" involves life-threatening adventures in an attempt to keep them sane. Barely-Changed Dub Name: In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Caine's name was changed slightly to Caim. According to dubbing director William Viana, this was done as an allusion to the Bible, and all other new names were approved by Glitch themselves.

Historic England had many roles in the kingdom, with jesters playing an integral role in the formation of arts and entertainment. Some have even claimed because of court jesters, we have stand-up comics today. Oh, how history surprises us! Captain Ersatz: She has a similar look and name to Raggedy Ann due to Gooseworx's fondness of Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure. This 5-day Uayeb period, in which the Yucatec New Year Festival takes place, helped to (at least, temporarily) create an experience of solidarity within the community. Ceremonial performers would convene in the central square and included musicians, comedians, dancers, contortionists, and jumpers. The comedians, or ah paal dzamoob , were probably like the baldzam described by Cogolludo. However, to the ancient Maya, the clowns were sacred; they “seem to come from and embody the chaotic time, or timelessness, of creation,” says Taube. For instance, the Quichean Patzca clowns emerged out of the Underworld just before the first dawning while, similarly, the characters of Tzotzil Carnival are frequently identified with the primordial period before the sun. The presence of these sacred clowns may have thus had a powerful rejuvenating effect on the ancient Maya people.
