10 Most Disturbing Clowns In Video Games

5. Kinky Pinky (Narc)

This forgotten arcade game from the late 1980s would probably have fallen into complete and utter obscurity by now if not for its inclusion of a rather disturbing clown, which makes it perfect fodder for these types of lists.

In Narc, you play as a law enforcer who is dispatched to clean up the city's mean streets, and your primary objective is to apprehend criminals - but because this is a shooter, "apprehend" normally means "pump full of lead".

Along the way, you'll take down an entire army of thugs and drug dealers, but easily the most memorable enemy type is the knife-wielding clown known as Kinky Pinky, who will slash and stab wildly if he gets anywhere in your vicinity.

And it gets worse. Not merely content with being a sadistic murderer, Kinky Pinky - as his name sort of hints at - is also in the porn business, and he can be seen kidnapping a young woman during his introductory cutscene.

Yeah... can we go back to forgetting this game now, please?

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
