The Funny First Responders are a clown group from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Funny First Responders made their debut in the 2021 Macy's Parade. Paying tribute to the first responders that help NYC everyday, the hilarious heroes fall over themselves on Thanksgiving as they try to save the day.
The clown group is composed of three professions; the Funny Firefighter Brigade, who come to the rescue with a bucket of water (and laughs); the Keystone Cops & Robbers, Victorian-era police officers who engage with a rowdy gang of comical criminals, causing a jailbreak along the Parade route; and the Funny Bone Medical Team, who believe that laughter is the best medicine.
The Funny First Responders travelled along the streets of NYC, joined by the Fire Truck Clown Vehicle and the Tough Guy and Bulldog trycaloons.
In 2022, the group was broken up into three other stand-alone clown units-- the Funny Firefighter Brigade Clowns, the Keystone Cops, and the Funny Bone Medical Team Clowns.
