Look, I know that this is going to come as a shock to many of you, but the Juggalos — the Insane Clown Posse’s deranged fans — don’t really have much of a collective sense of humor. In fact, they’re quite sensitive, despite the rugged, badass facade they like to collectively put on.
To wit: This past Saturday night in New York, members of the Upright Citizens Brigade were supposed to put on a show titled, “The Gathering Of The Juggalos For A Mother Fucking Baby Funeral.” But the band caught wind of the comedy troupe’s planned Juggalo mockery and got their lawyers to put a stop to the whole thing. According to the AV Club, “holding a faux Juggalo funeral apparently infringes on the Juggalo brand that (members of the band) have labored so intensively to cultivate over the years, leading them to seek their totally wicked, balls-out legal action.”
Additionally, according to J.D. Amato, one of the UCB performers, there was “a justified fear that actual Juggalos were going to show up and be physically unhappy (yes, physically).” Potential Juggalo violence…imagine that.
Luckily, since UCB couldn’t make fun of the Juggalos, the Juggalos are still able to make asses of themselves with their own words and actions like they did in Tom Green’s short film on them last year, just as they always do whenever microphones and cameras are in their vicinity.

MAKING FUN OF SOMEONE’S DEAD BABY IS NOT FUNNY, YOU FUCKING MORON.
Upright Citizens Brigade are insensitive morons. ICP and Juggalos deserve props and respect, not insensitive morons going after some poor woman (the fact that she’s an Insane Clown Posse fan is irrelevant) being made fun of BECAUSE HER BABY DIED.
re: issac, if you have seen the footage and audio of the funeral in question. the, i hesitate to say mother, was way more concerned about getting juggalo paraphernalia from a radio station, than her dead baby. she wanted cds and hoodies. among other general furthering of juggalo stereotypes. she should be mocked and shouldnt be a mother
i don’t think UCB understands Fair Use any better than the ICP. They have a legal right to do it. So just do it, already.
Don’t puss out because some silly idiots in clown make up might get mad. If they scare you that much, bring in the KISS army for back up or something.
This whole thing is stupid.
ICP usually does have a pretty good sense of humor (see: the magnets meme, the SNL skit, etc). They probably just didn’t like the fact it was making fun of a funeral.
Isaac is a fucking pussy, plain and simple. He should probably go cry to labia reduction surgery support group instead of posting here.
Dead Juggalo babies are the best kind of juggalo babies.
Fuck these people. I enjoy the fact that they are eliminating themselves from the gene pool. Best thing for humanity. In fact, I want to sponsor a juggalo hunting season. They’re far more annoying and costly to society than deer.

“she should be mocked and shouldnt be a mother”
Guess she’s not anymore.
Thanks Uproxx. You can kill yourselves now.
icp fans are morons, icp has openly admited in the past to putting subliminal advertising in their every song they have to get people to buy there merch. Although i do believe that the icp songs are merely just for fun they do tend to attract the violent and sociopathic, ie people murdering thier girlfriends then having sex with the dead body (REAL JUGGALO CRIME THAT HAS BEEN COMMITTED BY MULTIPLE JUGGALOS!) icp may believe thier music is harmless and to a normal person it would be. but they dont cater to the normal
she probably murdered her own baby to get free merch
