This is true. They sing: "Send in the clowns".
"Send in a clown" or weirder still "send in The Clown" has a much more ominous tone to it, though. Like it is a threat.
Is that like "Bring Out The Gimp"?
"send in a clown", come to think of it, sort of implies that one keeps a heap of clowns around and can just peel one off and throw it at a problem.
You start to run into the trope conservation of ninjutsu. Where a single ninja is a terrible threat, but a group of them splits the power of the single threat evenly.
