Hilarious Police Parody of Stephen King’s “It” Goes Viral

A modern remake of Stephen King’s “It” hit the theaters last week, and it’s been a major boon for the film industry after a historically slow summer showing. Opening with an unprecedented $123 million weekend at the box office, the movie set the record for the largest opening weekend for a September release in history. For some perspective, in second place is 2015’s Hotel Transylvania, which brought in $48.5 million.

Just as the film went viral – so did a satirical photo released by the Lincoln Police Department, poking fun at a particularly popular police stereotype. The photo shows four officers, with one following a line of doughnuts down a storm drain. The familiar sights of a clown and a floating red balloon round out the image.

The clown that serves as the film’s main antagonist is seen from the grate, saying “Hey guys, I have donuts down here.”

Ok, Gainesville had the “hot cops” and Loudon had the “cop on a bucket” so the Lincoln (CA) Police Department decided to join the fun.

Clown – “Hey guys, I have donuts down here!”

The photo has been shared on Facebook over 180,000 times, and they’re not the only police officers to get a few laughs out of “It.”

Check out what other police forces are doing around the country to celebrate the movie:

Last year, when there was an abundance of creepy clown sightings around the country, a Massachusetts police department issued a hilarious PSA, warning residents against participating in the craze.

The video, published by the Dartmouth Police Department, began with an officer pulling up to a park in his squad car, asking a woman if she was “the one who reported a suspicious person in the area.”

The woman tells the officer that a clown “popped out of the woods” and scared her daughter half to death.

The officer finds the clown, and asks him if he was the clown scaring kids.

“Maybe I was, maybe I wasn’t,” the clown replies. “What are you going to do about it?”

The ending makes the video:
