Line #7 YMMV/InsaneClownPosse


1	----
2	* {{Anvilicious}}: The ICP make no attempt to, and constantly remind you of, hide [[TooDumbToLive the message]] of ''The Mighty Death Pop!''.
3	* 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 TrapMusic. [[ContinuityLockOut Good luck getting into ICP now]].
4	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Several (but not all) of their skits can be this when they don't relate to the previous or next song. "Interview" is quite an example, taking up it's own track yet being an "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Interview]]" where the two just make noises over and over again to multiple questions.
5	* ContinuityLockOut: What every new ICP fan will inevitably experience, at least at first.
6	* CoveredUp: A few:
7	** "Assassins" was originally by Music/GetoBoys.
8	** "Let's Go All The Way" was originally by Sly Fox.
9	** "Murder Rap" was originally by Music/AboveTheLaw.
10	* CrossesTheLineTwice: The suicide hotline skits from "Piggy Pie" [[BrickJoke and]] "Down With The Clown" depict Violent J having a one-sided argument on a suicide hotline with somebody on the phone, one-sided in that J is the only one complaining.
11	* CultClassic: ''Riddle Box'', ''The Great Milenko'', ''The Amazing Jeckel Brothers''... really, the entire first Joker's Deck is this if not ICP themselves.
12	* EndingFatigue: "Bang, Pow, Boom!" drags for about 3 minutes after the lyrics have finished, simply repeating "With a bang." until the fadeout.
13	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Usually, producer Mike E. Clark tends to get props even from the band's critics.
14	** [[ThePeteBest John Kickjazz]], the third member of ICP, who left the group before the release of their debut album.
15	** She's not part of the band, but Violent J's daughter Ruby is pretty well liked due to her {{Adorkable}} personality in the ''Snakebusters'' video and her playful jabs at her father.
16	* FandomRivalry:
17	** Juggalos vs. Music/{{Eminem}} fans, not really because of their music, but their real-life rivalry. Also, Juggalos vs. [[Music/{{Slipknot}} Maggots]], even though Slipknot's own members are Juggalos. ICP and Slipknot are actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_cP3HQB6bE mutual admirers]], although ICP is not fond of Slipknot's decision to call their fans "maggots".
18	** Fans of Music/LimpBizkit also don't get along with the Juggalos owing to alleged bad blood between ICP and Fred Durst.
19	* HarsherInHindsight: Remember Violent J's line in "Still Stabbing" about stabbing the members of Slipknot in the face? Funny, right? Not so much now that [[http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/slipknot-guitarist-survives-knife-fight-with-brother-20150312 their guitarist has literally been stabbed in the head.]]
20	* 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). At the 21st Gathering of the Juggalos, [[Series/{{Jackass}} Steve-O]] actually showed his butthole to the crowd.
21	* MemeticMutation: "Miracles", both the music video and some of the lines from the song itself (eg. "Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?", "Magic everywhere in this bitch"). Based on some of their comments, it seems that this might be one of the only recorded successful attempts to create a MemeticMutation by the creators of the meme themselves (or at least a ParodyRetcon is at work).
22	** Know what I'm saying? [[labelnote:Note]]Shaggy's [[VerbalTic verbal tic]] which is often joked about of in the community and ICP themselves.[[/labelnote]]
23	* NarmCharm: Their announcement of cancelling their 2020 gathering due to the coronavirus pandemic: "The bottom line is simply that we REFUSE to risk even ONE Juggalo life by hosting a Gathering during these troubling times." The sincerity of it makes up for the [[InherentlyFunnyWords inherent goofiness]] of the word "Juggalo".
24	* NeverLiveItDown: Thanks to the extreme cult appeal, you'll be hard pressed to find any non-hardcore fan who knows more about them than their not knowing how magnets work.
25	* OldShame: Violent J emphatically denounced homophobic lyrics in the group's older songs, saying they were foolish and that it's antithetical for a Juggalo to be prejudiced against anyone in any way. He even encouraged his daughter not to defend him if her friends brought it up.
26	* ParanoiaFuel: "The world famous Boogie Woogie Wu will come to you! Slumber parties, sleepovers, intimate nights, whatever the occasion for the midnight hour, he will gladly come and fuck that shit up!"
27	* RetroactiveRecognition: Music/TechN9ne appeared on ICP's 2003 Hallowicked single before he was known to the mainstream. Music/DannyBrown appeared in a remix of "When I'm Clownin'" before he was a recognized mainstream personality.
28	* SampledUp: A weird case. "Bowling Balls" samples the Music/PublicEnemy interlude "Security of the First World". Most Juggalos recognize the original, but not [[http://www.allmusic.com/album/hells-pit-pt-1-mw0000208199 a reviewer]], who believed that ICP sampled Music/{{Madonna}}'s single "Justify My Love", which samples the Public Enemy beat.
29	* SignatureSong: "Miracles", maybe. For their early material, "Chicken Huntin'" and "Halls of Illusions" would probably count. "Homies" is also surprisingly popular.
30	* 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 funny.
31	* VindicatedByHistory: The group are nowhere near as hated as they used to be. Their music still tends to be a bit polarizing, but Violent J and Shaggy themselves are now seen by most to be perfectly nice and funny guys.
32	* 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 RapRock 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.
