Clown Face

A cartoon clown face with big red nose, wide eyes, and painted smile.

The Clown Face emoji is often used to represent foolishness, cringe, or someone being a joke—sometimes literally, sometimes as an insult. While it can represent a circus clown, it’s more commonly used in internet slang and meme culture to call out clown behavior.

Common uses include:

• Calling yourself or others out for acting naive, embarrassing, or ridiculous
• Reacting to cringe moments, poor decisions, or obvious lies
• Making jokes about looking dumb or being fooled
• Adding irony or sarcastic commentary to a situation

🤡 has become a staple of online self-deprecation and call-outs. When someone says, “Guess who believed them again 🤡,” they’re clowning themselves—or someone else—for falling for something dumb or fake.
