Homey D. Clown
"I don't think so ... Homey don't play that!"
Character-homeyHerman Simpson, better known semi-professionally as Homey D. Clown, is a convict with a never-ending community service sentence. Homey is often seen entertaining a group of excited children, who all remain his biggest fans even though he beats them on the head using a sock with a tennis ball inside.
Description
Homey has a questionable criminal history which has caused severe emotional problems, specifically a lifelong grudge towards The Man. This side of him comes out whenever he leads the children in a sing-along.
Much of the credit for the character goes to Paul Mooney, who was known to react "Aw no, homey!" whenever a writer pitched a sketch idea that might sound too racist. Damon became inspired, wondering "What if Paul were a clown?" -- and the rest is history.
