Clarence

Ummm .. on the basis of this clip, he's just annoying. He SHOULD have gotten soaked with coffee.

Delightful? Just Plain Annoying.

That clip was really NOT funny. The guy just keeps interrupting people over and over. Okay, we get it. I would've just ripped the damn thing off the dude's hand and thrown it somewhere. Whoever the comedian is, he's just not that good, or original. Just an annoying hand puppet. If I want to see comedy from a hand puppet, I'll watch Triumph, who happens to not only be incredibly funny, but actually has relevant things to say. Oh my God, Clarence and a burning Bill of Rights! It's like the worst night of SNL watching the last skit. Puppet of the Gods? Puppet of the sods is more like it.
