Einen Clown frühstücken?

Haben Sie heute einen Clown gefrühstückt?

Yes, the question above translates into English as "Did you have a clown today for breakfast?"

Of course, the phrase "einen Clown frühstücken" is an idiom and has a figurative meaning.

But the phrase can have several different meanings. It can refer to someone who isn't known to be funny but just made a joke. It can mean someone who is being inappropriately or unusually funny or silly.

Also, Axel Hüpfer, a company who makes other funny products, made Clown zum Frühstück honey, so that you can eat a clown for breakfast every morning. See Axel-huepfer.de: Clown zum Frühstück Honig and Youtube.com: Hier wird ein Clown zum Frühstück verspeist.
