Super Troopers Raid Limp Bizkit Set to Issue a Noise Complaint
Comedy troupe Broken Lizard interrupted Limp Bizkit's set to deliver a mock "noise complaint," dressed as their Super Troopers characters, during a performance at Creed's "Summer of '99 and Beyond Festival" in Tinley Park, Illinois. The stunt, which occurred as the nu-metal band closed with "Break Stuff," is part of a promotional push for Super Troopers 3, the third instalment in the long-running film franchise.
The bit began with the crowd unaware anything unusual was happening, before a Broken Lizard member launched into the group's signature "chicken-fuckers" routine, at which point fans realised the gag and the comedians joined the band on stage to celebrate. The appearance echoes a similar guest spot earlier this month, when comedian Tom Green joined Limp Bizkit on stage in Ottawa for "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)." Super Troopers 3 is due for release on 7th August.
In short
- Broken Lizard staged a fake noise complaint at a Limp Bizkit show.
- The stunt promotes their new film, Super Troopers 3.
- It follows Tom Green's recent guest appearance with the band.
Explained simply
Super Troopers is a comedy film franchise centring on highway patrol officers and their misadventures. The films are made by Broken Lizard, a five-member comedy troupe that created the first film in 1998. The group recently released a third instalment.
Limp Bizkit is an American nu-metal band from the 1990s that gained prominence for blending heavy music with rap influences. The band is currently touring as part of a festival celebrating music from that era. Their performances draw audiences nostalgic for the style they helped popularise.
The comedy troupe used the festival as an opportunity to promote their new film through a guest appearance at the band's set. This type of cross-promotional stunt, where entertainment properties coordinate to reach shared audiences, is standard practice in the film industry.
