Clowning around/in a chatty mood.

I agree with Neilmac; when the prisoner says desayunastes payasitos hoy?, it probably means, in English, something along the lines of Youre in a funny/chatty mood today.

Reference:

Comer payaso

I found this thread on WordReference, which may help:
https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/comer-payaso-comer-b...

If someone is being very funny and talkative, you can say 'desayunaron payaso'.
Maybe it is along these lines...
Example sentence:

¿Te comiste un payaso para desayunar esta mañana?

Note from asker:
In that case, possibly "clowning around".
