Putting on clown makeup memes

The clown meme, aka the Clown Putting on Makeup meme, in which the clown progressively applies a full face of makeup and a wig, was created from an actual tutorial for would-be clowns. However, some people find the meme (and clowns at large). It is used in situations where you feel more and more like a clown with each passing moment.
