remember what you see as "funny" may just be because of acting or over-acting (1990s IT, Class of 1989 etc) - the key is IN-UNIVERSE.. no one in the story finds Peter Stegman funny and no one finds Pennywise funny in his setting, even 1990s.. they are feared and hated by the characters, the audience is unimportant.
