Iconic scene from Goodfellas with Jersey’s own Joe Pesci..
“You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little f***** up maybe, but I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to f****’ amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?”

That whole “Jersey Shore” show. Why would you go to a bar and sip drinks out of a tiny straw. That’s not NJ.
The first thing that comes to mind is Tillie, an ambassador to the great state of New Jersey. That gigantic face painted on the side of Palace Amusements has become synonymous with New Jersey. http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0067/5862/products/tillie_Heyn_grande.jpg?v=1313361853
Iconic image, Tillie, in Asbury Park. Save Tillie!

My personal favorite is the last image on the picture – total Bozo.
The Clowns that are New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut drivers on our Interstates!
Clowns are these fantastically colorful, strong willed individuals. Able to shrug off being humiliated and able to bring a crowd to roaring laughter. Think about it, that is New Jersey! We are full of colorful people and crazy actions. This state, it’s people (us!), all have the jersey strong complex. We can make a joke and take a joke, we can throw a blow and take one just as well. We can be laughed at and have no problem laughing back. No matter what the case is, we are exactly like the clown that we envision. We stand tall, take the blows, and get back up to do it again the next day Because we are Jersey strong all the way!
So drink up Jersey!
Cheers! Salute! Kampai! Prost!
When I was a kid I used to watch Bozo the Clown every Sat. Morning. He was kind of scary ( all clowns are) but I loved him. Brings back memories.
Governor Chris the Clown said, “Close the Fridge” not “Close the Bridge”!!!

Clowns? The people we have to deal with on our highways that don’t know how to drive! And that’s why I need a beer when I get home…
The Scary Liquor Clown of Middletown! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Clown_of_Middletown#mediaviewer/File:Middletownclown.jpg
My first thought for New Jersey Clown was the clown mural in Asbury Park. It hits on many jersey essentials. He’s down the shore in a town with a boardwalk that’s making its way back. He’s next to an historic rock club that has hosted national acts and state treasures. And he keeps up his grin whatever the weather. When the town took a turn, when hurricanes batter the boardwalk he keeps his commitment to smile. Maybe he’s happy, maybe he’s just maniacal.

New Jersey’s very own Frank Sinatra from Hoboken, New Jersey. His recorded version of “Send in the Clowns” by Stephen Sondheim.

I had a friend was a circus clown
Back in high school
He could walk that tightrope
But his shoes weren’t cool, boy
Saw him the other night at this beer fest thing
I was walking in, he was pouring suds
We went outside, sat down, he wore his giant kicks
And all he kept talking about was
Clown Shoes beer, he moved up north
Clown Shoes beer, he started brewing stuff
Clown Shoes beer, Clown Shoes beer
-Bruce Springsteen, “Clown Shoes Days”
Bon Jovi. He’s from New Jersey, his music sucks, and he’s a goddamn clown.
I’m not implying that Jersey sucks. Just Bon Jovi.
Everyone not at the Big Brew Beer Festival.
The man in charge of New Jersey, the Beck hater, and Joe Canals for changing the discount to growlers only.
When I think “New Jersey” and “clowns”, I think Uncle Floyd.
when I think NJ and I think clowns, nothing says NJ and clowns like give me the damn tickets
Uncle Floyd, the Clown prince of NJ comedians!
Tell your friends to stop clowning around and become a member of New Jersey Craft Beer! You must be a clown for not joining NJCB!!
The only NJ clown I can think of right now is me in my sick with bronchitis & loopy on the Rx cough medicine self. I’ll need some good beer when I ‘m better.
“Welcome to New Jersey! Toughin’ up or get out- we ain’t clownin’ around!”

Gov. Christie falling out of the chair at the radio station…lmao So perfect for such a dumb *** clown!
Trenton’s got pork roll, Asbury Park has Tillie, Atlantic City has Nucky, Bergen County has overpriced houses and traffic, Jersey City has hipsters, Cape May has beaches , New Brunswick started the music scene. This state is full of good stuff everywhere I go and you’d be a clown for not using this Membership.
Barak Obama
is the biggest clown of all
And has the ears too.
