Tricky the Clown

Tricky the Clown is a character from the Newgrounds series. He is a clown that starred in many deliberately bad animations that center on Tricky exposing himself. 
==Background==
In the original xkittyfroggymeowmeow, Tricky appears as a clown who unzips his pants and swings his genitals around in a circle. During this, the background flashes different colors and the song Sailor's Hornpipe plays. Since the flash's release in 2003, it inspired other animators to spam the Newgrounds portal with cartoons and games based on Tricky.
==Castle Crashers==
Tricky makes a cameo appearance in Castle Crashers. During a party at Home Castle, the Orange Princess and three other princesses are kidnapped by Barbarians, along with the King's Crystal. While the Red Princess is rescued, the others are taken away by Thieves, sold off to three different leaders. The Orange Princess is kidnapped by the Industrial Prince, locked away at the Industrial Castle. The Knights break into the Industrial Castle, forcing Industrial Prince to flee, sending out his Industrialists and Fencers. After their defeat, the Knights follow Industrial Prince to the end of his castle. He activates his Industrial Machine, which the knights successfully destroy. The Evil Wizard flies up to the castle with the Crystal as Industrial Prince drags the Orange Princess. Industrial Prince throws Orange Princess on the Crystal but is shocked by Evil Wizard to prevent joining them. As Evil Wizard flies away with the Orange Princess, the knights gather at Wizard Castle for the final battle. At the castle, they defeat his minions, the Painter, the Undead Cyclops, and the Necromancer. Lastly, they face Evil Wizard, who changes forms throughout the fight. Upon Evil Wizard's defeat, Wizard Castle crumbles as the Knights rescue Orange Princess and ride the Crystal back to Home Castle, where a party is being thrown. As the King leads Orange Princess into the party, one of the knights proceeds to kiss her. To his surprise, she is revealed to be Tricky the Clown. Tricky begins to dance as rainbows, animals, and hearts fill the screen.

==BattleBlock Theater==
Tricky makes a cameo appearance in BattleBlock Theater. In a cutscene where the narrator discusses the origins behind the hat possessing Hatty Hattington, he says that it is rumored that the hat was cursed by a witch doctor or that it was enchanted after the previous owner, Purrham Furbottom found it in the Caves of the Nightmare Princess. The narrator states that he believes that the hat is haunted by the souls of its previous owner. With an annoyed tone of voice, he implies his theory about the hat was regarded "dumb" in the past, and refers to the other theories about "voodoo-nightmare-princess-thingies" as being nonsensical. As he says this, a stick puppet of Tricky in his Castle Crashers design appears, and is used to represent the Nightmare Princess. As the Tricky puppet moves about, two pink creatures appear next to her.
