The clown in the Faith No More video is the narrator. The narrator is the clown, singing a seemingly meaningless song but which has a serious message. Like all clowns, they may seem funny and stupid TO US but are quite insightful and serious.

The guys at the table are looking at him laughing, making fun of him and thinking he's a tard. Little do they realize that they're making clowns of themselves and their relationships with their girlfriends. Ironically, while real clowns themselves, they aren't LISTENING to the words of the clown who has a serious message to tell them.

But then, when he starts to bellow out his song, they start to see that there might be more to the clown and his song. One of the girls especially starts to see it and falls in love with this seemingly clownish idiot.

So....the message is look to the Truth, look beyond appearances (especially our everyday lives, a joke in many ways), and be mindful of self-rightousness. Otherwise....you're bound to make a clown of yourself, live life stupidly, without the right values and principles. Ironically though, this applies even to the clown himself, the guy who is supposedly outside being a clown--he's a lonely clown himself on the stage!

There you have it.
