THE CLOWN DIED means that an experiment or attempt to accomplish something difficult failed. It comes from the series 1000 ways to die, in which the protagonist is a clown for adults, specializing in shows intended for groups of women at bachelorette parties and birthdays. The actor was characterized by the poor quality of his jokes and a curious ability to inflate balloons inside his throat. He introduced them to the inside of his trachea and, from inside, he swelled them and pulled them out of his mouth completely inflated. He makes a show in a hotel room at a bachelorette party and introduces a balloon, which touches the lower area of the esophagus and explodes, leaving traces of rubber by his trachea, and obstructs the airways, dying asphyxiated.
