- ICP thought that Woodstock '99 was too expensive. So, they taped $100 bills to some beach balls, and threw them into the audience. Then they brought out bigger beach balls, taped $500 each onto them, and did the same thing.
- ICP organized a turkey drive around Thanksgiving in Detroit.
- Sugar Slam's Super Live Toy Drive, organized by Violent J's ex-girlfriend, Michelle Rapp (Sugar Slam). While the infomercial for the toy drive was Saturday Night Live parody fodder, the actual toy drive itself was awesome.
- Each donation with a value of $5 received a Christmas CD. (This wasn't no half-assed CD with a couple of lame songs, it was a full album of Christmas songs by several Psychopathic Records artists that you couldn't get anywhere else. For a mere $5 donation.)
- Their autobiographical song "Behind the Paint" includes a line that will bring a smile to the face of any nerd or freak who was rejected by the pretty girls for not dressing cool or being able to afford a nice car:Violent J: Look beneath the paint, bitch. It's the scrubs who won!
- When it comes to the final tracks on the Joker's Card albums, there are some that are thoughtful like "Pass Me By" or "Nothing's Left", and some that are jokingly-dramatic like "Thy Unveiling" or "I'm Coming Home". The title track off of "Bang! Pow! Boom!"
, meanwhile, provides the most hyperactive rock-n-roll rap one could possibly associate with a song about a being that resembles a giant living explosion.- Speaking of the Joker's Card, the entire first Joker's Card arc counts as one giant moment in itself. In six albums over the course of ten years, ICP built an entire anthology of horrorcore rap full of obscenities and atrocities which matched perfectly with a sinister Monster Clown iconography that made them seem like a typical edgy murder act... all the while peppering in themes of karma, sin, and judgment in almost every depiction of killing they present. This culminated with the final card, The Wraith, coming in two albums—the first endlessly describing what it's like to make it to Fluffy Cloud Heaven and concluding with a song whose title is a fancier "The Reveal" wherein they state that the entire message was to inspire their fans to be good people and find God, and the second concurrently giving no quarter in its depiction of the monstrosity of Fire and Brimstone Hell and the depravity of the wicked souls who would fall therein. And not only does this not come off as totally ridiculous from the Black Comedy rapping clowns, it invokes Rewatch Bonus on their entire catalog to the point that some review articles for The Wraith albums concluded that ICP have secretly been evangelical Christians all along, a misconception that the two still have to occasionally clear up nearly twenty years later.note
- Having the sheer audacity to sue the FBI itself over classing Juggalo as a gang.
- Violent J's dramatic weight loss in 2016. To see him going from being obese to having a much thinner and slightly muscular build is pretty damn cool.
- According to Joe Bruce himself in the book also titled Behind the Paint, this same thing has happened before to a smaller degree, in 2002 during the lead-up to the release of The Wraith: Shangri-La during which they went into hiding. That he fell back into the trap afterwards and then clawed his way out again, that much harder than the first time, makes it even more impressive.
