The Prawns of District 9 are not meant to be lovable-looking characters.  They have to earn your love and compassion throughout the film.  It was a tough task but director Neill Blompkamp made it look easy.  However, I think not even he could work his magic if the Prawns were replaced with clowns.  Clowns are unlovable.
