Tick Tock draws some of the best crowds of any bar. There is a lot of weirdness. If you are looking for an authentic, weird experience in Cleveland, Tick Tock is where it is at. Places like Austin, TX and Portland, OR claim to be weird or pride themselves on it. Tick Tock is really weird and wants to be normal.
The picture that Steve L posted says it all. A dude straddling over another guy with his knees pinning the other guy's arms down and his crotch in his face. That is the physical manifestation Tick Tock. It is like Marty's dance quintet in Big Lebowski. His "cycle".
There is a superb Youtube video of two drunk girls fighting in the daylight outside Tick Tock on Clifton Blvd:

Like that one country singer who sang the terrible song said "I love this bar". To the Tick Tock you don't stop!
