Watch comedy troupe Broken Lizard raid Limp Bizkit show as Super Troopers to issue noise complaint
Comedy troupe Broken Lizard interrupted Limp Bizkit's set at a US festival on 18 July, appearing dressed as their "Super Troopers" Vermont state trooper characters to stage a fake noise complaint. The stunt, part of a promotional push for the upcoming film "Super Troopers 3", initially confused some audience members before the group joined the band on stage for a closing performance of "Break Stuff".
The prank took place as Limp Bizkit headlined the opening night of Creed's Summer Of '99 And Beyond Festival in Tinley Park, Illinois, alongside acts including Cypress Hill, Bush and Puddle Of Mudd. "Super Troopers 3" reunites the original cast and is released on 7 August through Searchlight Pictures. The cameo follows other recent Limp Bizkit guest appearances, including comedian Tom Green joining them in Ottawa, and comes amid a wider resurgence for the band, who recently headlined Download Festival for the first time and released their first new single since 2021.

Explained simply
Broken Lizard is a comedy troupe known for the cult film Super Troopers, which follows a group of Vermont state troopers. The group recently staged a prank at a rock festival in Illinois, where they interrupted Limp Bizkit's performance dressed as their trooper characters to deliver a fake noise complaint. They then joined the band on stage for the final song.
The prank was staged to promote the upcoming Super Troopers 3 film, which reunites the original cast and is being released in August. Limp Bizkit was headlining the opening night of Creed's Summer Of '99 And Beyond Festival on 18 July, which also featured other rock acts from the 1990s including Cypress Hill and Bush. The stunt adds to recent promotional appearances by celebrity guests joining Limp Bizkit at live shows.
Both Broken Lizard and Limp Bizkit have experienced renewed interest in recent years. The comedy group's original Super Troopers film has maintained a devoted fanbase since its 2001 release, whilst Limp Bizkit have been experiencing a resurgence in popularity after years of relative quiet, recently headlining major rock festivals.
