Hyperclownism is a genetic medical disorder caused by an error in the fourth gene of chromosome 13. This chromosome codes for proteins connected to proper brain development (specifically decision-making centers of the brain), skin pigmentation, hair color, and nose size.

 Hyperclownic individuals frequently exhibit poor decision making skills.  They are frequently observe to be carrying too many objects in their arms, leading to accidental dropping of the objects.  They tend to walk with an unusual gait with many odd and unnecessary movements.  The hyperclownic also tend to appear to be making awkward or silly faces.  However, these are due to involuntary facial movements.
