Juggalo News, from the Insane Clown Posse dimension

Juggalo News is a newscast from an alternate universe in which Insane Clown Posse fans are the mainstream and rule the world. You know what, before this newscast, I would have called that hell on Earth, but now I feel a curious longing for it. The boundless capacity of Juggalos to form portmanteaux using cuss-words, such as "Thugnuts," "Murderbitch" and "Herculeez B Pussyfiend" is unexpectedly and enduringly funny.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I would watch this motherfucking shit every night, and if Murderbitch got her own show, Rachel Maddow had best step the fuck up, ninja.

Looks like Krunt, the guy who’s picture and quote they cut to during the Obama discussion, found out about it and made a video response. The ICNN video creator Scott Gairdner posted it on his site:

100%. Comedy. Gold.

I lost it. I’ve never heard of Juggalos before. Thank you Boing Boing for constantly entertaining and educating me.

Forget the news, I’d watch Shit’s Fucked Up Hospital. That’s the sort of soap I’m muthafugging talking about…

Pretty amusing. I just wish it had been GWAR’s idea.

Anon @ #8,

Those are great. I especially liked “Reverend Unseemly Dogposture”.

“Shit’s Fucked up Hospital” made me literally laugh out loud. Pure awesomeness.

Old school comedy; people who are clearly not gangsta acting gansta with a straight face.

juggalo fans are what happens when a watered down version of goth meets the only walmart town.
EH

That last one is derived from The Simpsons episode “Homer to the Max” (don’t worry, I didn’t have the title memorized). Regardless and possibly predictably, Simpsons did it.

  Because his name can be said by anyone….
  
  And sadly, I did have that memorized…
  
  PS by the way, does anyone know of an ICP name generator? My current nom de boing is my Wu Tang Name, but now I’m kinda feeling the need for something a little more Dark Carnival thugg style…

That was absolutely fantastic. No knowledge of Juggalo culture necessary for this to be eye-wipingly hilarious.

Love the crawl at the bottom of the screen… “Tiger Woods apologizes for gettin’ mad pussy!” LOL!

No, but seriously, it’s about time someone addressed the Faygo shortage! What does Obama expect me to kick, FANTA???

Worth it just for the Glenn Beck joke. This is funning on juggalo “culture” but it’s still a hoot.

I think “Shit’s Fucked Up Hospital” will be playing on Adult Swim soon.

Juggalo’s make me long for the comparatively deep and introspective lyrical stylings of Kid Rock.

As a Michigan resident, I apologize to humanity for unleashing Juggalos on the world. (Faygo rules though.)

And is that the Diablo font on the news ticker? If so, AWESOME

It’s true.. ICP fans are the faygo guzzling, fly off the handle, super fans that everyone loves to hate.

I’ve actually been pondering them for a day or so now because I met a girl that by most counts has decent taste in music, but is a fan of ICP (not a juggalo sp?). I’ve always despised them, but I’m just avoiding the subject because she’s sexy and although I don’t front.. I also don’t feel much like bashing anything before the third or so date. Can normal people like ICP, and is there such thing as a casual ICP fan or am I in for a terrifying surprise?

“Unexpectedly”? They’re clowns. ICP is a joke. Of course it’s supposed to be funny. They’re like organized Joker fans, except more goth. Which should make them more cool, shouldn’t it?

Why does everybody hate these people? They’re hilarious.

  “They’re like organized Joker fans, except more goth”
  
  uhm ya the movie joker was pathetically goth enough and as for their fans I take stickers and place them over the “why so serious?” portion of the poster. the stickers say “they got meds for that”
  
  what anarchy and scars had to do with the joker I’ll never understand.
  
  the thing about this vid is its the old boring humor staple of “look person A is doing stuff only person B would do”
  
  and even though its a dig at the icp violent J would have done it with them anyways. its more nasty without there permission of course..
  
  like this one better..

Nice.
Those “Juggalos to form portmanteaux using cuss-words”

put me in mind of the funny character names from classic BBC Radio Comedy “Round the Horne” (ran 1965-68).

There’s a list of character names here:
http://www.transdiffusion.org/rmc/comedy/horne-names.php

some examples:
* Ebeneezer Cuckpowder
* Sir Redvers Cornposture
* Mssrs Cattermole, Mousehabit, Neepthye and Trusspot, Solicitors
* Reverend Unseemly Dogposture
* The Very Reverend Ignatius Dangle
* Ludmilla Dogtrouser, the singing nun
* Lady Devere Stoatsfumbling
* Ransden Gnomefumbler
* Pixie Hotmuffin
* Horseposture and Loombucket, Publishers
* Lady Kneetrembler

It was good and funny throughout, but I about died laughing at that last bit about Glenn Beck!

I am amazingly impressed with this piece based on my knowledge of juggalo culture and the video posted on here about the huge juggalo convention/ concert thingy that was posted on this site around a year ago.
Shits Fucked Up Hospital had my in tears.
Did not expect something this witty and well done from these kids, bravo and golf claps.

This is AWESOME! I’d pay good money for this cable channel.

MurderBitch, I love you!

The guy doesn’t seem to be an actual “juggalo” which is probably why it’s so funny– he’s mocking them to a certain degree. Plus if actual juggalos had made their own fake newscast I suspect it would have no mention of national politics, but instead be about “who was wack” in the juggalo community, or something equally inane.
