LOL: Saturday Night Live’s underground music festival spoof
Posted by Miss Info under good for me , laugh at , life beyond rap , videos[9] Comments
I watched this spoof of the “underground” music and festival scene (definitely some Spitkicker, Pitchfork, South by Southwest, CMJ, Burning Man, Bonaroo sublims here) with one eye/one ear, but it still made me laugh out loud on Saturday night. EW’s Ken Tucker called it the show’s high point…that along with the Rihanna x Shy Ronnie skit were very funny. I don’t get what the big deal about the Tiger skit was, aside that it was overly long.
UPDATE: Wow….so, the SNL skit wasn’t even a spoof, but more like a remake of this real commercial for the “Gathering of the Juggalos” music festival. WTF! Thanks to the bros of ItsTheReal for sending the evidence….after the jump

Subliminals aside it was a near shot-for-shot remake of the Juggalos infomercial – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNe11E_KiAk

The RIHANNA skit was funny. The TIGER controversy annoyed those who hate the usual overreaction that accompanies the slightest joke re: some guy beating his women’s ass. Which is exactly what the SNL joke was, in reverse.
