I really don't mind you people watching me, although I do wish you'd share them. You're very selfish, taking me away from the children like that, you know.

Suddenly all those superstitions started to float away and I had no children to help, no parents to... well, you'll find out soon enough. And yet, there was one little form that I had left, one fun-loving character that could still reach inside those kids' heads and twist. I'm talking, of course, about Bobble the Clown.

~ Bobble the Clown
Bobble the Clown is a major antagonist in SCP Foundation series. He's a humanoid creature resembling a clown under the Foundation's containment. He is the star and producer of SCP-993, which is a television show that brainwashes children.
Like many monster clowns, Bobble the Clown is a cruel, psychopathy, obsessed and sadistic character hiding behind a cheerful and colorful facade. Through his TV show, Bobble performs various illegal and immoral acts, including torture, murder, arson, cannibalism and stalking. He takes delight in all of these acts, and happily shares information to his audience on how to perform these acts effectively (such as using mosquito coils to set buildings on fire, or how to inflict painful, but non-lethal wounds). Bobble loves nothing more than to twist and manipulate the minds of children into doing evil deeds, having taken many forms for millennia to accomplish this task. When deprived of an audience or otherwise rendered unable to broadcast his twisted messages, however, Bobble quickly loses his happy-go-lucky mask and becomes increasingly sadistic and vindictive, using his supernatural abilities to stalk and spy on his enemies to find their weaknesses, taunting them for a while before finally murdering them.
Biography[]
Bobble the Clown was first discovered by the Foundation after they found his television show entitled Bobble the Clown, which has the designation of SCP-993. In each episode, Bobble would go around to different locations and learn a new lesson. However, if these programs are viewed by anyone over the age of ten, they will fall unconscious at the beginning of the episode and remain in that state until the episode ends, waking up with extremely painful and long-lasting headaches.
Child victims exposed to SCP-993 instances claim that the show teaches and endorses illegal, violent and horrific actions such as stalking, murder, torture, cannibalism, and many more. The episodes give careful and step-by-step instructions on how to commit these atrocities, and the actions become ingrained into subjects' minds, making them obsessed to carry out the actions themselves. Repeated exposure to SCP-993 cases can result in severe mental illness.
Episodes are released frequently from an unknown source, but in the 2000s, the SCP Foundation was able to block all of them from public viewing and obtain recordings of all documented episodes.
However, Bobble the Clown seems to be able to manifest from recordings of his show, and can even interact with or attack SCP Foundation personnel. He hates them for cutting him off from the children and wants revenge. In interviews that have been managed, Bobble says that he enjoys twisting children's minds and has been doing it through various means for millennia, possibly dating back to the caveman days and that Bobble the Clown is just one of its forms, its previous being the mythical skinwalker. According to "The Revolution Will Be Televised", another one of Bobble's forms is Bael the Decadent Jester, which he once used to manipulate a peace-loving king of an unknown country into marching to war.
Bobble, in the form of a jester, is depicted in the anomalous painting "Trinity of the Red Court" (designated SCP-4505-265) alongside the Hanged King. The painting version of Bobble is followed by a long line of children.
In the tale "BobbleCon 2018" and its sequels, a group of Bobble the Clown fans steal one of his tapes from the Foundation and watch it. Bobble escapes containment and forces the people who released him to kill themselves before going on the run, releasing new episodes which the Foundation are forced to block. He then recruits SCP-2030-1 and other TV-based SCPs to his cause before entering the NBA tape known as SCP-1733 to recruit the sapient occupants of the tape. Only one of them refuses to join Bobble in his "televution" (which seemingly consists of entering cartoons like Scooby-Doo and killing the characters), and is left behind for the rest of time.
Bobble then somehow finds himself trapped in the Dreamlands and is confronted by three "Knights of Reason", who he kills without much effort. He encounters a lucid dreamer named Nino Calvano and attacks him, allowing him to escape the Dreamlands and possess Nino in real life.
SCP-1730[]
In an alternate dimension designated SCP-1730, Bobble was contained in the infamous Site 13. When questioned by a task force, he said he had been "broken". He had gotten a taste of his own medicine when the evil Director Emerson, the site's director, had tortured him, and allegedly "got his jollies on" to doing such. This version of Bobble assisted the Samsara task force by opening a door to the Thresher room.
List of known Bobble the Clown episodes[]
"Bobble's Kitchen Surprise": Bobble kidnaps a man and teaches children the steps to kill, skin, cook, prepare, and eat human flesh, as he demonstrates with his victim.

"Bobble Gets the Truth": Bobble tortures and interrogates a POW in a prisoner camp. He asks nonsensical questions and severely injures the man until he dies, explaining how to conduct a proper torture.
"Bobble Hates You": Bobble sits in a chair in a blank, empty room and stares angrily at the viewer for the entirety of the episode (this episode is likely after the SCP Foundation became involved).
"F*CK YOU F*CK YOU F*CK YOU": Bobble appears in the containment vault containing all recorded instances of SCP-993, explaining how to kill Foundation personnel and how to release the other SCPs.

"Bobble Loves His Fans!": Bobble accepts an award for his contributions to 'the arts, education and the continuation of human nature' before announcing the return of his show. He requests that the audience commit mass suicide, which they happily comply with. This episode replaced all tapes of the show after Bobble escaped containment.
Trivia[]
A common misconception is that Bobble is SCP-993. In actuality, it is his television show Bobble the Clown that is SCP-993. Bobble (the individual) has no SCP designation and is grouped in as a part of SCP-993 as a whole.
In the universe of SCP-6001 where the Compendium, a benevolent amalgam organization of different GoIs, took over the world and declared worldwide peace with all anomalies, Bobble has found a new medium to express his darker thoughts and is respected for his creativity.
