SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE TAKES ON THE JUGGALOS

 Monday, December 7th, 2009 at 10:00am by

Someone on the SNL writing staff must like metal. Just a couple of weeks ago, Dave Matthews did a pretty killer Ozzy Osbourne impression; now, this past Saturday, the show, which is usually pretty terrible these days, did a spot-on satire of that infamous Gathering of the Juggalos infomercial. If every sketch on SNL were still this funny, I’d say the show was actually worth watching.



This same episode also saw the debut of Nuno Bettencourt as Rihanna’s new guitar player. I’m not going to post video of that here, though, because Nuno’s talenters were just as wasted as you’d imagine they’d be playing in Rihanna’s back-up band.

    Best part of the show was the appearance of Blake Lively’s legs.

    Nice to see Axl didn’t die of alcohol poisoning.

    As much as I wanted to laugh hysterically at this, I didn’t. SNL hasn’t been good since Will Farrell was on the show….and it hasn’t been good in 5 year increments since its incarnation in the 70′s.

  • Jayson

    This was ok, but there is no way to top the actual thing for humor. There is no room for parody here.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Hulsey/653830783 David Hulsey

      Agreed. I just watched it for the fourth time and I still laughed my ass off.

    Whoa, wait… the original one wasn’t a parody? Now I’m confused.

  • Sacajawea

    I don’t like SNL these days either, but that was still one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. It’s good because people who have no idea what the Gathering is can still find this funny.

    Just watched the original gather infomercial. Well, 6 minutes of it anyway. That’s all I could take. Unbelievable. Un-fucking-believable. To think that ten years in a row we could have decimated a huge portion of the wigger population in one weekend by simply contaminating their Faygo supplies, and we have not taken advantage of this situation yet. WTF?

    • Lucifer

      Wow. You’re stooping to the level of a Klansman by replacing the “N” in a very offensive slur with a “W”? Pathetic.

      Not to mention the fact that, in addition to outing yourself as a racist, you fail to pick up on the fact that ICP’s fans are not all white. Music transcends skin color.

  • Bugz on my Nutz

    Good send up of the gathering, although i didnt see any cat piss, ventriliquists, stilts, or the 3rd season of the facts of life at the REAL gathering, which even for metalheads would be a paradise.

    • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

      I don’t see a weekend of shitty music while surrounded by white trash, middle school dropouts, and Burger King employees as paradise. Call me crazy.

      • Sammy

        That’s funny Grover. You said “employees”. Yeah right.

    • http://hookinmouth.net Scott

      Did you at least get a pitch fork?

  • Facebook User

    not really that funny.

  • You Don’t Know Me

    The one band name Ms. Potato Dick was funny. Everything else about that was lame… just like SNL has been for about a decade now. I watched the whole infomercial for the actual Gathering of the Juggalos and I think I laughed harder at that then I did at the parody. That Sugar Slam chick is WAAAAAY too white to try and pull of ebonics. Nothing wrong with using ebonics, if that’s your thing, but some people just can’t pull it off.

    hahahaha i was hoping you dudes caught that!

  • Uglymicrowave

    this was the first thing i watched when i woke up and almost shit my pants…fucking hilarious

    • Uglymicrowave

      I didn’t know SNL was still funny

  • Beereded

    Sent this in to you guys yesterday. You’re welcome.

    • Beereded

      Also, you just know if this was the next Gathering of the Juggalo’s advert, they’d still be lined up in droves waiting to get in. I have a new name for them: white-trash wiggers.

      • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

        Nothing new about that. They’ve been white-trash wiggers for a long time.

        • Beereded

          Meh, just constantly being reminded by people I see in my daily routine and on TV.

          • Beereded

            And, it doesn’t refer exclusively to ICP fans/Juggalo’s. Though they all certainly are white-trash wiggers.

      • Lucifer

        1. You are a racist.

        2. Explain to me how Chuck D and Slash are “white trash”. Or even “white”.

  • SHOCKTROOP

    man. SNL is starting to come back I think. Anything with Andy Samberg is hilarious. and their humor is getting more obscure and straight up weird and I like it that way. Most people probably don’t get it, but those who do will love it. but no matter how good this show is it won’t stop me from being blacked out trying to pick up fat chicks in a bar every saturday when it’s on.

    ps. I happen to be the president of the DJ Deuce Groan fan club.

    and nice Iron Sheik reference!

    RIP Ass Dan

    RIP Ass Dan. but really, someone should send a few helicopters to Wacken this year for a pick up and then drop them all off at the greasy ninja festival, I would pay double any ticket price to see that happen.

  • Ben

    Awww, Axl, were you sad that Nuno’s “talenters” were wasted? That is very depressing. Nothing worse than a great musician’s “talenters” going to waste.

  • Tim

    I just watched the original and I was honestly horrified. The SNL bit is hysterical.

  • andy morales
