I suppose this is more clown-adjacent, but I liked to set up a hugging toll-booth as a pk borg.
I'm also incredibly fond of diving into disposals and just holding a direction repeatedly for like fifteen minutes so everyone can hear my dumb ass through the station for a bit.

I had this gimmick where I would pretend to be a wizard using different station items as "spells".

Need a smoke spell? Smoke bomb!
Need a blinding spell? Flash!
Need a fireball? Fire spray!

I'm sure there is plenty more you could do with this idea.

Head exploding spell!! *uses HARS mutator on self*
Head returning spell!! *uses mutadone syringe*

I always enjoy seeing a clown impersonate another job while doing it in clown style.
From recent memory, I saw a Hop/Cap clown at the hopline who renamed people's jobs to what they requested without changing the access.
Another time a ClownMedicalOfficer provided organic slurry pills labeled anti-tox.
Satirical incompetence always puts a smile on my face.

Based. I also do wizard Clown. I always ask the hop to give me a head ID and make me the Head of Magic.

Someone asks you to prove you can do magic? Pull out wizard's staff, and do a silly incantation, and then create a portal with the hand tele, thus proving you can do spatial magic.

I also came up with, in my last clown shift, I would "hex their balance" by drawing 4 runes around them with crayon, saying a silly incantation, and then just dropping a banana/soap and pulling them onto it, thereby causing them to slip.

I would like to play more rounds with such creative clown mains in this thread

On Halloween on manuel. A clown created a full horror house with cardboard cutouts and the such. Everyone messed up the ian cutout thinking it was real. At the end they even had a real traitor that e bowed passeryby and then telepored away. It was awesome

Clown viruses with stupid but non-lethal symptoms are hilarious to me- it's like something out of a cartoon. Now that I think about it, any clown prank that throws the station into utter chaos without actually killing anyone is peak clowning imo

I like clownmarts, when they run pawnshops.
The litmus test for the gimmick is if clown will sell the authentication disk to nukies.

Yesterday I was using my clown 'Salad' to perform random searches on security. It went pretty much as you imagined, either being told to fuck off or being hit with a baton. But fair play to the Detective who 'brigged himself' for two minutes because he refused a bag search and allowed me to drag him to the brig. I mean he said he needed to go there anyway to reload ammo, but that's not the point. He at least admitted the clown outranked him.
Bonus points to the clueless security guard who told me I had no authority to authorise bag searches because 'it's not red alert'.
GG.

A couple of years ago. Station has a pet singulo. I'm not yet an admin, but I am a maintainer.

Clown wants to jump into the singulo because it is, of course, a clown. Knows it could potentially singuloose in the process. Pre-emptively ahelps and barters with the admin online to agree a ban length if singuloose. They come to an agreement, crown throws itself in, singulo shrinks.

Legend. Pure clown energy.

Second one is not really a prank, but cargo has a Cargomatter set up because that's what cargo does when guncargo isn't working. They're feeding it trash from disposals (since I'm a cool admin, I just announce over comms that disposals is now particularly spicy and taking a ride down it could have unforeseen consequences, then IC issue anyone that dies). They also have a second disposals inlet next to it, for dumping other bits of trash inside. They spraypaint

next to it. Right on cue, they summon the clown to cargo. WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT THAT MOTHERFUCKER DIVES RIGHT INTO IT AND GETS INSTANTLY DUSTED.

I revive them, prefix Clown God to their name and drop them back on the station in a fully equipped HONK mech.

Inhumanly based ascension
We really need clown heretic to be a thing

I like pieing people in the face, something that is now considered griefing.

[Bepis]

some people don't want to have their pie and eat it too

[BeeSting12]

Space drugs grenades are a good prank too as long as you wear a ballistic vest.

[Farquaar]

Anything that slips a large number of people. Like a space lube smoke machine in departures, or filling the main halls with banana peels. It's like a minigame for anyone who wants to travel between departments and it's funny watching people trying to navigate through the chaos in their own way.

I like to hide in a locker with a fire axe and ambush people who run by
