I mean I had theories about bigtop burger, sure, but an alien clown getting banished from his homeworld because he got stage fright during a ritual production of the musical cats, (by getting shot out of a cannon,) and slingshotting into the path of earth and killing the dinosaurs on his way to the core of the planet, was not on my radar for some reason
Congratulations @Worthikids on finishing Season 2 of Bigtop Burger!!
I absolutely love this series, and I ADORE the new mix of Up for the finale, so I made a combined version for the new audio + the missing verses from the original song. And I accidentally a music video for it.
Not uploading this to YouTube or anything, cause I don't want to take away any potential ad revenue from Ian in case he makes an official upload for the new mix. Enjoy nonetheless!
See this is actually an issue of terminology because what people refer to as "real clowns" in the bigtop burger universe isn't people wearing costumes but rather beings who naturally have pure white skin and funny hair and reality bending powers, so while Penny, Billie and Tim aren't considered "real clowns" in the in-universe sense, they do fit the real world definition of "clown" better than Steve does by the virtue of being able to remove their costumes.

Billie’s offhand comment in the final episode of season 1 about “clowns aren’t real” is really sticking out to me in light of the season two finale. Because cesare lumping Steve in with other cryptids like mothman and what seems to be a yeti or bigfoot of some kind, as well as Cesare himself being a zombie, makes me wonder if clowns hold a similar cryptid status in bigtop burger universe. Because here in the real world, for someone to be considered a “real clown”, they are a human trained in clowning with clown makeup on. But we don’t call haunted house actors “real zombies” right? Even though they’re trained to act like zombies with zombie makeup on. So clowns seem to be a level of supernatural cryptid that’s on par with zombies, mothman, yeti etc. Which I find to be quite interesting.
tfw you work at a clown themed food truck and your boss (who might be a real honest to god clown) gets smashed with a comically large hammer by the owner of a zombie themed food truck (who might be a real honest to god zombie) who, after presumably killing your boss, dips out back to the underworld, leaving you and the other food truck employees in stunned silence at the food truck convention you had to attend
