Trivia[]

  • The horror-core hip-hop group Infernal Clown Posse is played by actual horror-core hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse (or ICP for short).
  • When the death is explained, the CGI renders don't just show an X-ray; they also show a CGI-rendering of Funny Eddie in his entire clown costume.
  • This death is slightly similar to Boys 2 Dead. After someone died, their group continued the concert (the difference is in this death is that the dead aren't their members).
    • This death is also similar to Balloon-a-tic since both victims were clowns, only difference is that the clown in Balloon-a-tic was an adult clown.
    • They're all the last segment of their respective episodes, too.
  • This death is also similar to As-Capped since after the victim died, the group continued singing their song to gloat them.

Goofs[]

  • Character Error: After Funny Eddie "dies", he visibly blinks. Not only that, his death face expression is changing numerous times.
    • If this actor wakes up and joined the song, then scene would be embarrassing and funniest.
  • Miscellaneous: ICP's In Yo Face song was released in 2009, not 2008.
