History YMMV / InsaneClownPosse

* ArchivePanic: Okay, so there's Six Joker's Cards, right? So that means there's only six ICP albums, right? Except ''The Wraith'' is actually two albums (''Shangri-La'' and ''Hell's Pit''). Also, there's a whole bunch of "sideshow" releases that came out in-between the Joker's Cards. So those are all extended plays and not essential, right? Well, except they introduce a whole bunch of [[ContinuityNod continuity references]] that illuminate your understanding of lyrics on the Joker's Cards. Oh, and two of the sideshow releases are full length albums (''Bizaar'' and ''Bizzar'') and you can't skip them because those two are actually a double album sold separately. And it's very easy to get one confused for the other because they're [[SimilarlyNamedWorks similarly named]]. Still with me so far? Still think it's easy to get into Insane Clown Posse? Well, what if I told you that the Six Joker's Cards are actually only ''the first deck'' and there's a whole ''second deck'' consisting of seven more albums. And like the first deck, they released a whole bunch of sideshow releases in-between the new Joker's Cards. Also, their musical style has [[NewSoundAlbum radically shifted]] from album to album, ranging from the [[{{Sampling}} sample-driven]] HipHop to sparse, Horror Synth-driven Hip Hop to RapRock to PopRap to Trap. [[ContinuityLockOut Good luck getting into ICP now]].

* HilariousInHindsight: A recurring catchphrase at the Gathering of the Juggalos among attendees is "show me your butthole" (a rhetorical request no one is actually expected to oblige). In 2022, [[Series/{{Jackass}} Steve-O]] actually showed his butthole to the crowd when he appeared at the Gathering.

** Fans of Music/LimpBizkit also don't get along with the Juggalos owing to alleged bad blood between ICP and Fred Durst. This came to a head at the [[https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/10/icp-fred-durst-dropkick/ Rock Allegiance Festival in 2018]] when Shaggy 2 Dope attempted to ''[[WrestlerInAllOfUs dropkick]]'' Fred after a song.

* EpicRiff: "Chicken Huntin' (Slaughterhouse Remix)" and "For The Maggots".

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: One would assume the band was a family-friendly act based on their wacky makeup and larger-than-life personas, along with the fact that one of their few mainstream hits, "Homies", is a lively rap rock song about the importance of friendship. They'd be wrong. Their songs tend to be barely family-friendly, if at all, and are full of BlackComedy and profanity.

* AcceptableTargets: Many of their victims are {{asshole|Victim}}s so you don't really feel bad when the duo brutalize them. And then it turns out [[TricksterMentor this is the point]].

* {{Squick}}: The single cover art for Violent J's single "Some Good Pussy".

* {{Anvilicious}} : The ICP make no attempt to, and constantly remind you of, hide [[TooDumbToLive the message]] of ''The Mighty Death Pop!''.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The aforementioned suicide hotline skits from earlier would be followed up years later "Suicide Hotline" from ''Hell's Pit'', even though the song is clearly set in a different call than the skits.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: As described by Violent J, during the making of "Cotton Candy"
->I remember the night after I wrote that song, in the morning, we were going to studio to record with Mike Clark, and I remember I had the beat, and I had an ink pen and a pad of paper, and I wrote that mother fuckin' song, and I remember laying in bed next to my girlfriend that night falling asleep mad happy, ‘cause I knew that song was gonna be a banger. I knew it, and I was like, “Man, fuck yeah, I wrote a banger.” And it sure as fuck was. It’s still one of my favorites, “Cotton Candy.”

** Know what I'm saying? Shaggy's [[VerbalTic verbal tic]] which is often joked about of in the community and ICP themselves.

* SignatureSong: "Miracles", maybe.

* SoBadItsGood: Very few people take the "Miracles" seriously due to the lines mentioned under MemeticMutation, as well as certain things that are described as being miraculous (such as a Pelican nearly eating a cell phone, or the fact their offspring look similar to them). Even Violent J finds the backlash to be ActuallyPrettyFunny.
