Clip description

After a group of nine young men get turned away by bouncers at a selective Melbourne nightclub, ‘onesixone’, John Safran helps them pose as American nu-metal band Slipknot to gain entry into the club.

Curator’s notes

In another notorious Safran prank, he takes advantage of the band Slipknot’s signature masks to achieve the otherwise impossible feat of getting a group of nine young guys, with no women, into a nightclub.
