I laughed, and then felt like a horrible person. Well done, Roget.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1799.
So, where is the address so I can send it loving letters? +1
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
(account deleted)The saddest of clowns!
I was afraid no one would do any more of the Misters following the Little Misters series. I'm glad that the trend continues. +1
Little mister series? Seems like I missed something. This is the only 'Mr.' checked on the list isn't it?
Anyway, very well done. Short, to the point yet anomalous, dramatic and funny. +1
(and what Copernicus said. I hate clowns. Also, the picture fits just perfectly with this article.)
There's a bunch of them. Mostly in the 900s. This is the only one checked off because each is only "officially" checked off on their own lists. Also, read the thing Drexlore linked to. The Ballad of the Little Misters.
An entertaining article, and a clown I don't hate. +1
Something I just noticed, it says to collect them all to become Mr. Collector, would the person that collects all of the little misters become a little mister themselves? could be interesting.
That….is a thing. It already exists.

I'm actually not big on this one. The physical feats seem a bit tacked on to fit with the story, and the sad clown thing is kind of predictable. This exchange:
SCP-1799:Please…stop laughing at me. It…
(Dr.B███ begins to laugh hysterically, pounding on the table)
SCP-1799: It hurts….my feelings…
Is just too silly for me to take this article seriously.
I edited the exchange a bit.

Understandable.

I'm with Anaxagoras on the interview, even with the edits it doesn't do anything for me and makes me take the rest less seriously. That said, I like the rest, while I loathe clowns I get the feeling that this Mister isn't so hot on them either.
I like the interview for the character it adds to the SCP. As far as the interview itself being silly… or people responding to it as such; that's an incidental detail due to the very nature of the SCP. It wouldn't be as rounded without it. Keep it, in my opinion.
With the edit on that line (I read it after the edit), I interpreted it to mean that being laughed at actually physically hurts Mr. Laugh. As in, causes him injury and pain. It's happens so very, very often that he's depressedly resigned to it, but it still hurts.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
The interview is by far the worst part of the whole thing. Drop it entirely, or make it significantly longer and more subtle. One thing that might work is if the interviewer were unintentionally delivering set up lines with the subject responding involuntarily and growing gradually more horrified by it.
I: You remind me of someone, and I've just figured out who. Emmett Kelly. But I'm probably dating myself.
S: Well, no one else is going to. <winces> I'm sorry. I can't stop them.
I'm with Anaxagoras on the tacked-on physical feats, but I really, really, and I mean really love this. Clown picture let me know this was going to be good, and then I saw the word "Misters" and upvoted hard. That said, this desperately needs proofreading.
As for the interview, my suggestion would be to make it a little longer. Show the interviewer desperately trying and failing to maintain professional detachment.
what needs proofreading?

As one of the Misters, Would he not have a Wondertainment Tattoo on himself?
