Clown

An entertainer in the circus, the theater, the hospital, at a party or in the humanitarian business who makes audiences laugh with his/her antics, brings happiness to others with his/her friendly demeanor and makes people forget, momentarily, all the trouble in their lives by so doing.
If by chance some day you're not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I've said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled. - Red Skelton

momentary clowning-around license

Humorous term to refer to da one-to-ten-second "allowance-window" for performing goofy antics dat is implied to be granted to you as a "reward" or "consolation" if a certain type of minorly-distressing event unexpectedly befalls you, such as if you get accidentally bonked on da head with a rake-handle or 2X4, and thus you are "permitted" to make a huge buffoonish show of wobblingly staggering about for a moment or two, as if you've been knocked partially unconscious.
Another type of momentary clowning-around license might be if there is a sudden loud noise nearby dat presumably would allow you to raucously respond in kind --- for example, if a passing car toots its horn for no apparent reason, you then briefly have "implied permission" to shut your eyes tightly and bellow, "HAWNK!!" in "reply" to said unexpected auditory interruption.
