He reminds me of Zippy the Pinhead, who in turn was based on a freak show character.

He reminds me of “The Monster” in Young Frankenstein. Peter Boyle(the dad from Everybody Loves Raymond) played prior to getting a brain transplant from “the Dr”
When he had the brain from “abby something”

I remember the good old days when the freak shows were at the fairs. The bearded lady, man with pierced face and lips and the half man - half woman.

Not sure what ever happened to the freak shows at the carnivals. I heard tell ticket sales for the freak show had dropped consistently since 2009. Many had to close.
