Let’s All Partake in the Yearly Ritual of Watching the New “Gathering of the Juggalos” Infomercial

I think we’ve all moved past making fun of Juggalos, right? It’s not that they aren’t completely ridiculous, it’s just… the joke’s worn out.

But one Juggalo-related event I look forward to every single year is the release of the infomercial for the annual Gathering of the Juggalos. Not to make fun of it, though — I get a genuine, non-ironic kick out of watching these things. They’re SO purposefully campy, so over-the-top, that it’s impossible not to appreciate them for what they are: true works of art. Ron Popiel would be proud if he even knew what a Juggalo was.

The infomercial for the 2015 gathering features outlaw space explorers from the year 3092 who travel back in time to witness 2015’s Gathering, a festival of such epic proportions it was “a required course” at her “space college.”

The 2015 Gathering continues the festival’s recent tradition of booking more and more metal acts. Errrr, “metal” acts. Here’s this year’s slate, culled by The PRP:

Emmure
In This Moment
Mushroomhead
Puddle Of Mudd
King 810
Ill Nino
Neurotic November
Terror Universal

Plus the usual assortment of Juggalo-approved artists, of course. The Gathering takes place July 22nd-25th in Thornville, Ohio. Info and tickets here.

Anyway, here’s that infomercial. Enjoy!
