A well done caricature can be funny and cute. Unfortunately there are a lot of artists that, while good, can't read the room. The trick seems to be not to overly pick on characteristics that will hurt, without balancing them out.

Oh and a good group of clowns can be excellent. I saw some at a circus, and they pulled off slapstick perfectly.

A mime once trapped me in an invisible box. I was trapped for days...

I managed to get out. A roaming gang of clowns drove it off.
