The Funhouse Clowns are a group of mostly clowns based out of Chatterbox's Funhouse.
Description[]
The Funhouse Clowns are the group of clowns and other people associated with, or work for Chatterbox in his Funhouse Games business based out of the The Funhouse. They are not a formal group or gang, but are close.
History[]
The group emerged after the Clowncil and New Clown Order were disbanded by Chatterbox, causing most clowns in the city to separate into their own ventures.
Chatterbox had plans for organizing events in the basement underneath the Funhouse, the Funhouse Games. He gathered together many clowns he trusted, giving most of them new keys to the Funhouse, as well as clown vans that were donated by RON Oil. Soon after, they mysteriously received blueprints for parachutes, molotov cocktails, and various melee weapons, and began operating a business to produce and sell these items throughout the city.
The Funhouse Clowns have been involved in drama and conflict since their formation. Relations have been cool between many members and the group that would become The Neon Circus, due to the hostility between Chatterbox (and his original personality Jagger) and Sooty Gamwich, complications involving Ember Quinn and her wife, Johanna Golden, and Sneaky having to deal with his ex-girlfriend, Emi Bella. The group has also been involved in various ways with Pestilence, his plague, and the ensuing impact across the city. Conflicts with Hydra Gang, Hades Gang, Sewer Rats and members of South Cypress are common. Mimes reemerged in a final push to remove all clowns from Los Santos, resulting in various attacks and kidnappings against the Funhouse Clowns.
Disillusioned by how serious the Funhouse Clowns were becoming in dealing with the mimes, Pico Pingafria quit being a clown and a member of the FHC, dedicating his time to being a member of the Los Santos Police Department.
After the destruction of the Funhouse at the end of the Mime War, Chatterbox no longer considered the group active.
Keys[]
The main signifier of a "member" of the Funhouse Clowns is having a key to the Funhouse basement. It is possible for a member to be suspended by taking their key, and then working to deserve the key back.
Due to his violent and sociopathic behavior towards the clowns, Tessa told Jagger Gerardy that his (Chatterbox's) key was taken away as punishment, even though the Funhouse was destroyed.

| Mickey's Cargo Ship Heist (April 14, 2025) |

  Mickey Sinclaire's dossier for the clowns' heist mission In exchange for information about Ray Mond, Chatterbox agreed to Mickey Sinclaire's heist contract for the clowns to board the SS Bulker cargo ship with an armed NWL security team on it, loot its private cache shipments of weaponry and hi-tech gear, and steal an attack helicopter from the top of it.   Tessa Lamb before a C4 bomb explosion enveloped her during Mickey's cargo ship heist for the clowns on April 14, 2025   Kirk Jerkems parachuting onto the guarded cargo ship on April 14, 2025 On the day of the heist on April 14, 2025, Mickey gave Chatterbox a tank for the mission (but misplaced the keys to it). A "clownvoy" of fake safety official Tessa Lamb, grapple gunner Chatterbox, grapple gunner Twinkles, paratrooper Kirk Jerkems, paratrooper Mr. Ratchet, shooter Derpy, and sniper Happy D'Klown drove to the cargo ship with a "distraction" clown van team including Osvaldo Pingafria, Wendy Thomas, Snuffles, and Sneaky. The captain of the security guards only permitted Tessa to board the cargo ship for her bomb safety demonstration (a ruse to blow up as many guards as possible). Convinced by Tessa's lie that her C4 Bomb was inert, the captain tinkered with it and accidentally blew up her, himself, and two other guards. After Mr. Ratchet fell off the bridge in a failed parachute attempt, Kirk successfully parachuted onto the cargo ship.   The final push by Kirk, Chatterbox, and Derpy against the armed security guards on the cargo ship on April 14, 2025   Last clown standing Kirk reaching the attack helicopter at the end of Mickey's cargo ship heist on April 14, 2025 Happy accidentally fell off the bridge holding the sniper rifle (twice), and the guards shot down Twinkles in a firefight. While pushing the guards with Kirk, Derpy accidentally gunned down Chatterbox with friendly fire. The police shot down both Derpy and Mr. Ratchet as he tried to board the attack helicopter. Although the last clown standing Kirk made it to the attack helicopter, the police blew it up with a hail of gunfire. Kirk dropped his munitions trying to flee the police, but they eventually caught him along with all of the downed clowns. Tessa fooled Officer Carmine Costello into letting her go, the clowns were charged with maritime piracy, and Happy received a million dollar fine for the Class-3 heavy sniper rifle. |
| Final Battle of the Clown-Mime War (June 19, 2025) |

  The Mime Emperor and Baron Mimekonnen addressing their Mime army   The Clown army defending The Funhouse Over the months, both sides built up their armies, and fought at The Funhouse again. The Mime Emperor and Baron Mimekonnen led a Mime siege against the world's remaining clowns in one of the largest battles in San Andreas history. BonBon, Tandy Miller, and Professor Bubbles returned to fight for the clowns. Flop Dugong, Crimbo, the Cuban Federales, the Already Dead MC, and Hydra Gang also fought alongside the clowns. Windsong stayed inside The Funhouse as a combat medic. Helicopters, tanks, and many explosives were used in the conflict. The clowns also had rigged their clown vans with bombs.   The final battle of the Clown-Mime War on June 19, 2025 Although outnumbered, the Clowns were able to hold off the Mimes for a large amount of time. Chatterbox and the Mime Emperor went down simultaneously to sniper shots. One mime Mute Loops managed to take down about 10 clowns during his breach of The Funhouse before Tandy blew him up with a sticky bomb. The Mimes eventually managed to blow up The Funhouse with C4, downing Kirk Jerkems and about a dozen other clowns in the explosion. The clowns managed to shoot the Mime Emperor to death near The Funhouse. With The Funhouse falling apart due to the C4 explosion and subsequent fires, the combat survivors evacuated the downed clowns before one final gas-leak explosion reduced The Funhouse to rubble. Afterward, the Baron became the new Emperor and declared peace to end the war. |
