The fact I walked past this last night at 2 am while the park has been closed for like a year and if you got close to the entrance you can hear that he is still laughing
We had one of these near where I lived as a child but it was an old woman in a rocking chair it was absolutely terrifying as a child and to be honest it's no less terrifying as an adult!
I think that's somehow even worse than the clown! I remember going to Blackpool as a little kid and skirting around that sodding thing as it petrified me.
Used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid. If I'm honest the manic look on the clowns face still gives me a timy little shiver down my spine as it leans forward towards the glass.
Some of the varying paintjobs seen in other videos look as though the main laughing man is intended to be human whilst the smaller figure on his lap is supposed to be a puppet or ventriloquist’s dummy. This particular design makes them both appear to be the same “species” so it now looks like a father and son. I wonder if that was a deliberate design choice.
I cried every time we passed this in family holidays in the 80s lol and just realised in seeing again..still not over it 😂that’s made me have chills hahaa horrendous
Yeah, the previous Laughing Man was dressed like a king, the little one was dressed the same. Then there was an unfortunate fire in the early '90s, only the main head part survived as it was out being restored. I have a Laughing Man playlist if you want to see the old version.
I don't do ride counts to some it's very important.I went on it when it was brand new (1994) and have been going every year since.My first visit was in 1979 and my first ever ride was The Virginia Reel .
I seem to remember it with a kings crown? Anyhow it should NEVER have been removed. It totally epitomized BPB as a place of fun and laughter. I know it's in storage and I would give it a home like a shot.
The ‘Laughing Man’ was featured in the iconic movie 'A Taste Of Honey' from 1961 - but it looked and sounding nothing like this... I’m not convinced it's the same one.
Thanks so much for the reply and info. - that’s SO bad... I get upset over things like that. I wish it had been the original. Do you know if there is any other surviving footage of the original - apart from the movie ‘Honey' of course? Thanks.
ua-cam.com/video/OyXc_OgMhgY/v-deo.htmlm35s there a quite a few on you tube try searching funhouse Blackpool Pleasure Beach,or laughing man / clownn etc..
firty years ago i am sure it was a king doing the laughing ? whats happening here ? starts ok but the sounds changes to a kookaborro or something in the last minute !?
mesmoland that is because the laughing King burnt down with the funhouse in 1991. The body was destroyed but the head was salvageable and that's why they changed him into a clown and put him in front of Avalanche which was quite a new attraction at the time
Damn, so my mom went there when she was a child and she took a video of this weirdo freak and every time she gets a new phone she sends that video to it so she always has the video. I just don’t understand why would would want to keep a video of this. and oh my actual god when I first looked at that I screamed the fuck out of myself. if this turned on at night and I was nearby oh my god rip me
Omg! Mesmo me and me cousin are your biggest fans ever!!! We have wrote a song about you! We really love you and if it was not for you we would never have rode the infusion! We love u so much and would love to ride the pepsi max with u one day xoxox :)
+Adam Paul I'm 24 and I remember him being in the entrance too, and I have a vivid memory of spice girls wannabee playing over the speakers too so it must have been mid 90s!
I put in a twenty p and looked this thing in the eye for five minutes straight nothing happened so i gave it a side eye and said you little b- I want my money back
You think he's scary now, imagine him laughing while the funhouse burnt down behind him. That's some Joker type of stuff right there
The fun house was sick.
Scariest thing I've ever seen. Imagine working there during the night there on your own and this starts up.
Hate Clowns
The fact I walked past this last night at 2 am while the park has been closed for like a year and if you got close to the entrance you can hear that he is still laughing
I was here 2 months ago it's not shut down so don't lie
@@AliciaMcclean-o6y okay but it was closed during covid?
@AliciaMcclean-o6y it was closed down over lockdown

He used to make my grandmother cry when she was a child🤣🤣🤣

I've heard that sound many times over the years, always a few seconds after I take off my pants!

Beware they both can change when you are not looking .
@@mesmoland I only ever saw it in person once and that was in 1996, so I really can’t remember what colour it was at the time.
I cried every time we passed this in family holidays in the 80s lol and just realised in seeing again..still not over it 😂that’s made me have chills hahaa horrendous
I used to love this guy as a kid, could never understand why my Mum 'did not like it'. I do now.
Imagine it smashed through the glass
Becky Walton Rab c Nesbit managed to do it and strangle it
I'm from Blackpool and that is what I always wanted to do. Smash the glass and smash it in the head lol.
Feel like there’s a lot of dark secrets about Pleasure Beach
There definitely is everywhere in Blackpool seems to be haunted too🙃😵
I found this hilarious as a kid
You're lucky he didn't follow you home !
The man walking by in the background in the beginning tripped over his own feet when he heard this and saw what it was coming from. Can’t blame him.
They all float down there.
Don't remember it having orange hair in the seventies. I remember it as brown haired with a big collar.

I can remember the crown, that was before the funhouse fire .His body had a better mechanism then he really looked like he was chuckling.
Wouldn't want to be there at night x
Literally my exact thought!
This shat me up when I was a kid visiting Blackpool.
Who else noticed the people in the back walking the opposite way😳😳😳
Used to stand there watching it for a bit wondering what he was laughing at
Aww thank you that's nice to hear:) I will be up next for the final weekend of the season,the midnight closing in November.

“Please excuse my laughter, I have a medical condition.”
The ‘Laughing Man’ was
featured in the iconic movie 'A Taste Of Honey' from 1961
- but it looked and sounding nothing like this... I’m not convinced it's
the same one.
The original mechanism was destroyed in the Funhouse fire in 1991

ua-cam.com/video/OyXc_OgMhgY/v-deo.htmlm35s there a quite a few on you tube try searching funhouse Blackpool Pleasure Beach,or laughing man / clownn etc..
I still love him🤣
He sees you when your sleeping and knows when your awake since he lives in your closet with all of your worst fears...
The screams from the roller coaster in the background are somehow fitting for this. Hope they get down safely… hahahaha
Still haven't been yet :(
I HAD TO FIND THIS TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T JUST A CHILDHOOD NIGHTMARE
Seriously, WHAT THE HECK IS SO FUNNY?!?!?
it always me laugh when I visited Blackpool.......but that was in daylight
This is what every Liverpool fan does when Everton gets mentioned at the time I am writing this
went there yesterday and he they didnt have the orange wigs......also didnt work, he scammed me, no wonder he was laughing
me and my friend always thought it was terrifying whenever we walked past it and i ended searching it up to see nothing xD I thought there was a story
Been one there since at least the early 70's, the sounds the same but it looks different.
The Laughing Clown debuted outside the entrance of the Fun House in 1935.
I'm not sure,it does look very different than what it used to.
It's still as scary as ever!
It used to look different ??
@@darkforestzombie218 At one time he used to wear a suit
@@mesmoland ok
I used to be scared of this thing
I still am
Reminds me of certain politicians.......
Such as borris johnson
I don't mind and sorry I live too far away to go all the time :(
this scares the shit out of me, literally ran past him
It's funny on people's youtube vids when there are on avalanche n u can hear it in the background
God damn, he turns demonic toward the end.
Nice video
That's crazy. Have you been on The Smiler at Alton Towers yet?
Have a great time :)
think joaquin phoenix got some inspiration for his joker hahaha
BRUHHHHH HAHAHHAHAHA there was an ad for the joker before this played
The labour party at twelve o'clock during the budget
Sorry, I would love to be there more often :(

+birdandthe I remember them both having crowns when they were outside of the funhouse.Last bit is in reverse !
mesmoland that is because the laughing King burnt down with the funhouse in 1991. The body was destroyed but the head was salvageable and that's why they changed him into a clown and put him in front of Avalanche which was quite a new attraction at the time
I love This man I just love it it make me so happy
Try watching it when you are tripping on Acid!
Try mushrooms and laugh with him :D
That would become annoying....there must be a switch nearby somewhere to shut him off !
Damn, so my mom went there when she was a child and she took a video of this weirdo freak and every time she gets a new phone she sends that video to it so she always has the video. I just don’t understand why would would want to keep a video of this. and oh my actual god when I first looked at that I screamed the fuck out of myself. if this turned on at night and I was nearby oh my god rip me

This thing used to scare the hell out of my sister. It looks a little different now though. Is it still the same head or a different paint job?
The new Joker film looks great!!
I hope they turn this thing off at night XD
They do trust me
@@dooklarue1672 did you work there or something ?

Ok i'm definately going to have nightmares
That is creepy I will have to have 80 years of therapy.
This gives me nightmares....
That's fucking terrifying
Has this moved? It used to be in the entrance way..
That was a very long time ago.
Oh ok lol I'm 25 now and remember how much it scared me as a child, so I guess it was a while go
Adam Paul I remember him outside the Funhouse (his movements were much better then, even the little one moved) now who's showing their age ;)
Adam Paul GOT BURNT DOWN FEW YEARS AGO ADAM...
+Adam Paul I'm 24 and I remember him being in the entrance too, and I have a vivid memory of spice girls wannabee playing over the speakers too so it must have been mid 90s!
Oh god I do sound like this 😂
I assert, this helps me sleep.

If that frightens children now, wait till they grow up in their real cyberworld. I am not kidding.
I put in a twenty p and looked this thing in the eye for five minutes straight nothing happened so i gave it a side eye and said you little b- I want my money back

Ahhhh yes the classic black laughing clown 🤡 🤣
He’s bald now
It’s Kamala Harris
That clown is creepy
And annoying
He's laughing at Donald Trump becoming president
Mans reaction to Jeremy Corbyn ever becoming prime minister.
I don't like it. I liked the old one, the one that didnt spin. Still scares the life out of my mum. XD
This proper scared me as a kid and I still do not like it now.
It was a great joke, but It wasn't that funny pal 😂🤣🤣
I remember when I saw laughing man it was creepy abd scary
Have a good time :)
