The Juggernaut Bitch!!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Juggernaut Bitch!!" is a web parody short film based on X-Men: The Animated Series, created and dubbed by Randy Hayes and Xavier Nazario of My Way Entertainment.
The video features scenes excerpted from Episode 31, "The Phoenix Saga Part Three: Cry of the Banshee", parodied as a comedy with Hayes and Nazario overdubbing their voices in place of the original soundtrack. This dialogue is generally characterized by Black Vernacular, "ghetto" slang, profanity, and non-sequiturs, as well as extremely broad comedic voice acting in a similar style to blaxploitation films.
Much of the humor comes from contrasting the "adult" nature of the dialogue with the obvious child-oriented nature of the visuals. However, unlike many other overdubbing comedies (such as What's Up, Tiger Lily?, or the G.I. Joe parodies), the dialogue operates mainly within the context of the X-Men universe, simply re-imagining characters and events. However, there are a few references to people and items outside the X-Men universe, such as references to former pro-wrestler Bret Hart, cartoon heroes Captain Planet and Captain Caveman, the Harlem Globetrotters, the car company Dodge, and the Chinese chant from Jackie Chan Adventures.
On July 2, 2006, My Way Entertainment released J2: Juggment Day, the sequel. (Its title is a parody of T2: Judgment Day).[1] The sequel uses footage from the episode "The Juggernaut Returns". My Way originally planned on releasing a third and possibly final Juggernaut video J3: Shadow of the Colossi (which the title parodies "Shadow of the Colossus") near the end of 2006, but suffered a minor set-back when YouTube removed "The Juggernaut Bitch!!" and "J2: Juggment Day" at request by Marvel Entertainment, Inc due to copyright infringement.

[edit] Plot
The video begins during a kidnapping attempt with an eye-level shot of the Juggernaut standing over Charles Xavier, proudly and repeatedly proclaiming that he is indeed "the Juggernaut, bitch". With the Juggernaut grasping Lilandra (herein referred to as "Bitch"), Charles manages to neutralize the Juggernaut momentarily,something made possible by the fact that, moments before, The Bitch had managed to remove his helmet with a laser beam (which The Juggernaut claimed to have had since "the fourth grade"). With Charles invading his mind, the Juggernaut is saved only when the "Pimp" (Black Tom Cassidy,here also "The Bearded Man") appears, zapping Xavier with his "pimp cane". The Pimp then reminds the Juggernaut to repay him the $50 that he believes he is owed, but Juggernaut argues that the debt is off on the grounds that he custom-made The Pimp's suit. Juggernaut then defenestrates Charles.
An abrupt scene change follows, and we get a shot of the Pimp looking out over a castle roof. Erik the Red (referred to in the video as "Ketchup"), arrives in a spaceship, claiming that it was manufactured by Dodge. After the Pimp refers to Ketchup as a "mustard-looking motherfucker," Ketchup is angered by the insult and "zaps [his] dumb ass." As a gloating Ketchup (who claims that he is made out of Laffy Taffy) is standing over an incapacitated Pimp, the Juggernaut abruptly and outrageously grabs him from behind and holds him over his head, then promptly hurls Ketchup into two of his mind-controlled soldiers, hitting them "with [their] own pimp".
Another abrupt scene change occurs, and it appears that Ketchup has inexplicably joined forces with the Pimp, as the two are counting money together. It is here that we learn that Pimp owns the castle the video is set in. In his words: "Welcome to Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous! That's right, bitches, this my crib." We also learn that Ketchup is a candy salesman, part-time stripper and a hair stylist. The Juggernaut then enters, loudly exclaiming that he is "The Juggernaut Bitch, and [he] has a Bitch with [him]." causing the Pimp to ask in a fit of annoyance why he has to scream every time he enters the room. Juggernaut explains it's because his suit is so tight that it's the only way he can breathe. He then suggests that they all engage in festivities, probably involving rape. Elsewhere, Charles wakes up and roars, much to the consternation and confusion of Ketchup. Juggernaut then continues to announce his plans for The Bitch, which include committing forced aural intercourse on her and, in effect, "blow her brains out" and "break her in half". This causes the Pimp to question Juggernaut's mental health.
Following another abrupt scene change, Juggernaut ponders why pieces of the ceiling are falling on them after claiming he's a welterweight champion of the world (and mocking The Bitch's hair). The Pimp orders someone to investigate and possibly attack any invaders on the roof. At that moment, X-Men members Wolverine, Gambit, Jubilee, Banshee, and Rogue burst into the foyer of the castle and attack. Wolverine tries to untie The Bitch, but he first pauses to inquire at length if The Bitch would like him to do so. Unfortunately, he takes so long asking that he is hit by a blast from The Pimp's cane. However, Banshee prevents The Bearded Man from killing Wolverine, absorbing a second cane blast in his "bloody chest." He explains that his "Jamaican colors" prevent him from being harmed by the pimp cane. Meanwhile, the Juggernaut gives chase of Jubilee (referred to in the video as "the daughter of Bret Hart", called so because of her reflective lavender sunglasses), apparently because he likes her "raincoat," but Rogue intervenes. Eventually, The Bitch manages to free herself, but Juggernaut seizes her and leaves the room, gleefully taunting, "Jugg's gotcha!"
On the roof of the castle, Juggernaut's team is surrounded by the X-Men when Gladiator (referred to in the video as a "Goliath-Looking Motherfucker") appears. Goliath (speaking in a semi-exaggerated Arnold Schwarzenegger-esque voice) proceeds to demand oral sex from Ketchup before boasting that everyone present will be impressed by the size of his genitalia. The Bitch, however, then claims to have previously turned him down and reiterates that she refuses to date him; Goliath obstinently states he will have sex with her that night regardless. He then insults Juggernaut, claiming that he will "crush [the Juggernaut]... with [his] hand." This astounds Juggernaut - in fact he cannot even believe that Goliath is serious. Nevertheless, Juggernaut attempts to punch Goliath, but his punch has no effect. Goliath then grabs him and hurls him from the castle roof. The Juggernaut sails away over the ocean, screaming in disbelief: "But I'm the Juggernaut, bitch...!!!". The film ends with Jubilee expressing her desire to engage in sexual intercourse.
- The line "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" and its variants are said 14 times during the clip.
[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand
The line's popularity culminated in its inclusion[2] in the film X-Men: The Last Stand, released in May 2006. The character Juggernaut, played by Vinnie Jones, yells out to Kitty Pryde during a battle scene, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"[3] When MTV asked the video's creators about this, Nazario said, "When that line comes up, I'm probably going to start breakdancing, and Randy will scream out the phrase himself".[4]
Additionally, one of the storyboard animatics on the bonus disk from The Last Stand shows Juggernaut chasing Kitty Pryde while shouting additional lines that are almost exactly like those from "The Juggernaut Bitch!!" including the character's accents.
