Plot
Template:Spoiler Will Carlson a.k.a Flappy the Clown a.a.k.a. Vulgar the Clown (played by Brian O'Halloran) is a clown that performs for children. His mom hates him, his car will break down any second and he lives in a bad part of town. Will is a good guy and has a friend named Syd (played by director/writer Bryan Johnson).
Desperate for jobs, Will decides to try doing a bachelor party: when the man of the night is expecting a girl to come in, he'll get--Flappy! (and then, of course, he leaves and the real show arrives) Syd asks him if he's on crack, and tells him that what he's proposing is vulgar. Will seizes on that and remonikers himself "Vulgar the Clown" for his older audiences.
But things go wrong when the "bachelor" is a dirty old (late thirties?) man, and Will is anally raped.
After Will is raped, he saves the life of a young girl who's being held hostage by her psychotic father, and becomes famous--he gets his own show: "Flappy's Funhouse". However, after he wins his fame, Will's former "assaulters" call with a plot of blackmail, and Will decides to do something drastic...
Production
After the success of such films as Clerks., Chasing Amy, and Dogma, Kevin Smith financed three films (Drawing Flies, A Better Place, and this one).
The film was written and directed by Smith's long time friend Bryan Johnson. Vulgar the Clown was also the View Askew Productions logo at one time.
