Clown Pepe, through its journey, exemplifies how memes can morph, reflecting the zeitgeist of internet culture, political climates, and societal moods, often in ways that are both humorous and deeply symbolic of broader cultural tensions.

Clown Pepe was initially crafted within a Discord server for a League of Legends community, where it was known as "pepoclown." This version of Pepe features him with a rainbow wig and a red clown nose, often accompanied by the phrase "Honk Honk" or the emojis , symbolizing "Clown World."
