I don't like clowns in general, though there are one or two that merit an exception.

All clowns, with the exception of Seattle's J.P. Patches are annoying wastes of time.
J.P. had a morning and afternoon program on Channel 7 in Seattle from 1958 to 1981. Was a mainstay the childhood of pretty-much every kid in the region during that period. he's been making public appearances at special events ever since.
Here's a clip from the 70s when he paid a visit to the Channel 7 Eyewitness News set:

Same here. When I was a kid, I was never particularly amused by clowns, although they didn’t scare me either. I was taken to the circus a couple of times and found it incredibly boring. The only thing that bored me more than the circus were those goddamned ice shows. Christ, I hated ice shows.
I liked clowns when I was a kid, haven't really spent any time forming an opinion one way or the other about them since.
I have no strong feelings about them but Shakes the Clown is one of my all-time favourite films.
I like this one:
Actually based on the Chicago Bozo, just more jaded.

Clowns never used to bother me one way or the other, then I took some kids to a circus and during the clown act one of the clowns climbed into the audience and sat next to me and pretended to kiss me...
I nearly died of embarrassment, the kiddies were screaming their heads off (not happily I might add!)
Not so keen on them now...

My parents hired a clown for my birthday once when I was little. They invited about 10 other kids to come over. As soon as the clown showed up, I ran out of the room screaming. 
Eventually, I went back in and actually had a lot of fun. Got some pretty solid balloon animals out of the deal. I have no fear of clowns now, so I don't know what the deal was back then.

I voted that they scare the hell out of me....although that is not entirely accurate. It's really more the super-creepy factor that is more scary than annoying...but not exactly either.
In any case, I find them to be creepy and annoying. Bottom line is that I just do not like clowns at all.

I shall not clown. It is the antithesis of scientific study.
They've always scared the hell out of me, and it was reinforced when I read Stephen King's IT back in 1990.
One night I was driving home from a friends house, and I had to drive down a long road that had a big farm on one side of the road, and only a few houses on the other side. Needless to say there were no street lights, and I knew at any second my headlights would light up Pennywise standing in the middle of the road holding a big bunch of balloons.
Since then I've decided that all clowns are evil pedophiles.

I like clowns, especially Charlie Chalk 
Don't like mimes.

Slightly off point but... I see your clowns and I raise you to Ventriloquist dolls ~ the most evil thing known to Man. Reference film 'Magic' 1978. That movie haunts me still...
Forget SAW (although that was quite good in a ghastly kind of way) Magic just scared the bejesus out of me. To this day there are no dolls of any kind in this house

This is the only clown I've ever had any appreciation for...
I have no feelings for the rest, one way or the other.

I never liked clowns because I find them sad and pathetic. Even as a child I felt I was more successful and well-adjusted than they were, and I hadn't a dime to my name. Plus, I almost always had better bladder and impulse control than they did, even as a toddler.

Never would have figured the Joker for being into bukkake.
I'm not bothered either way by clowns.
I remember in Boston Legal that Alan Shore hated clowns.

My sister and I were so terrified of the ads for that film that the channel had to be changed - we couldn't even bear to hear the dummy!
I didn't see it until I was an adult; it's a mediocre thriller as I recall, but as usual Cliff Robertson puts in a good performance.
