Although he’s making you chuckle and also you’re having an excellent time, you’re not imagined to root for him. He’s actually the satan.’

However then, actually, Artwork the Clown comes out and speaks in my ear and is like, “You recognize I’d actually kill these folks, proper?” And I’m like, “All proper, wonderful. I’ve obtained to jot down that.”
