The Prawns of District 9 are not meant to be lovable-looking characters. They have to earn your love and compassion throughout the film. It was a tough task but director Neill Blompkamp made it look easy. However, I think not even he could work his magic if the Prawns were replaced with clowns. Clowns are unlovable.

This clever parody of the Best Picture-nominated film (it’s so cool to write that) replaces the Prawns with the Clowns and condenses the plot down to sixty seconds. It will give you a chuckle and only take a minute of your time. Hit the jump to check it out.
