Matthew Carnahan Circus Products

Background: This is a vanity card for Matthew Carnahan.

(2006-present)
Nicknames: "The Creepy Clown", "Steven Bochсo's Rival"

Logo: On a red background, we see a toy clown playing a violin. We quickly zoom out to reveal it's entire body, and it's green sweater. The clown bends its body. The text "Matthew Carnahan Circus Products" in a handwritten font is on the right side of the screen, "shakes", "jiggles" and grows.

FX/SFX: The clown, the incredibly fast zoom-out, the text. Fine cut-out-like animation.

Music/Sounds: A poorly-played violin ditty.

Music/Sounds Variant: There also exists a longer version of the music.

Availability: Originally appeared on Dirt. Currently seen on House of Lies on Showtime.

Scare Factor: Low to high. The sudden zoom-out, appearance of the downright creepy clown, and that terrible music can give more than a few people the creeps, although some people might find it funny.
