The New Gathering of the Juggalos Infomercial Is Horrible and Wonderful

In the first minute of the annual video promoting the Insane Clown Posse’s Gathering of the Juggalos, a dude gets hit in the head with a meteorite computer animated with Myst-level 1993 graphics. From there it’s nothing but ICP-sanctioned insanity, with a trip through the afterlife (“get the hell outta Hell”), plenty of utterances of the specious term of endearment “my ninja,” and a discussion of the average Juggalo’s chances of finding love/sex at the Gathering. If you get through all 23 minutes, you owe yourself an expensive treat. (Please don’t make it a ticket to the Gathering.)

Shows that’ll definitely air their final seasons next year: Parks and Recreation, Parenthood, and Cougar Town.
