It's brilliant, really. The enemies are too filled with laughter at the sight of a clown to notice all the the guns pointed at them.

This is about ten times funnier to me than it normally would have been, because I have a character I play in an online game that acts like this.

"Here take this. You'll need this to defend yourself against the enemy forces."
"What is it?"
"It's an energy gun that can rip through solid steel hulls."
"Naw, I don't need it. I can take them on, I have a spraybottle of lube and a crowbar."
"…what?"
"Honkhonk. Just wait and see."
