Jackass c or d

I'd like to know how involved Spike Jonze is in it? he's listed on the credits and I'm sure he's been mentioned in some of the carnage that ensues.

any brits who want to see it (you need cable or satellite) it's on most days on MTV at 10 at night, plus E4 were showing the first series a while ago.

steve-O's all over hair removal and butt cheek piercing last night was excruciating.

I also got a kick out of seeing Brad Pitt (yeah, Brad Pitt) in a monkey suit goofin' around with those monkeys. That might've been on the last episode; not sure about the chronology.

Best thing on MTV, bar none.

Johnny Knoxville wearing a Santa suit, being dragged around LA (I think) in a car-pulled sled, handing out free fried chicken & soda. I almost cried.

And, yes, when thinking about the poo cocktail, one's stomach does tremble. I just love the way he says "poo". POOOOO cocktail. I'm awash in a sea of POOOOO.

Have any of you Americans visited Mianus?

I watched an hour of it last night and it cheered me up no end, in fact I'm starting to tape it all to act as some sort of video prozac.

Knoxville and Pontius were playing rugby last night on massive hangovers, bless 'em.

'czech police..firm...firm but fair'

I loved the Cool Hand Luke egg eating marathon. And the trip to Mianus.

The fact that Bam and Knoxville et al. + their predecessor Tom Green are making so much money off this kind of schtick by selling it as comedy is probably making quite a few Dadaists/Aktionists turn over in their graves

The film is amazing, obviously.

Destroy: paper cuts, anything involving genitalia/rectums

IMHO, Jackass < CKY.

And then did Cannonball!

And then married a Coppola!

I heard that Knoxville got his job on Jackass by putting on a bulletproof vest and then shooting himself while on tape. His real name is CJ Clapp, and he was living at home in, of all places, Knoxville at the time.
He got his start 'directing' skate videos, didn't he? I assumed he just got recruited/hopped on board when they decided to take it to MTV. He's not part of the original CKY crowd, I'm pretty sure. He's more old school.
-- Millar (tmilla...), April 21st, 2003 9:54 PM.

Millar, you are spot on, he tested home security devices on himself for Big Brother magazine, filmed it and the rest is history, I think he was in LA at the time writing for BB.
The film is amazing, obviously.
-- chris (cbrassic...)

just to add some background for those interested:

spike jonez (ne adam spiegel) was a bmx photographer in the late 80s before moving on to filming skateboarding videos (including the best one ever: video days by blind). so it's interesting to see how people (nathalie) who i assume are only familiar with him via his "serious" work feel about him returning to more of his roots here.

to add to chris' answer: yes, johnny knoxville was a writer for big brother (cf: jeff tremaine (jackass producer), dave england, etc.) for a few years before moving into the video work on the shit, crap, #2, and boob quadrology (introducing cris "wee-man" acuna, steve o, etc.).

I cannot wait.

For the record Jackass = CLASSICKER THAN CLASSIC (especially the West Chester crew. ::drool::)

I think I really won't have lived properly until I see "Raab Himself gets talked into pissing on an electric fence by Bam"

Steve-O actually comes from a line of circus freaks. Whatcha got against the circus Nichole??

Nada, Sammy. Actually, I love it! However, if someone sets themselves on fire at the circus, you don't expect them to yell, "Look ma!" at the audience.

Sorry I still say "classic". How can hott boys playing dumb pranks, riding skateboards, and pissing themselves silly be anything but classic?

Add to the C column: The Pharcyde's Fat Lip getting into the spirit of things, doing a wax-with-your-ass slide on an escalator railing while wearing a natty white suit and balancing a discman precariously in his right hand. The landing is not pretty.

Personal favourite: Office Chairs, as Margera, Dunn, and DiCamillio wear a suit and a tie, whilst attempting to perform sk8te tricks sitting on office chairs, to the soundtrack of "9 To 5" by Dolly Parton.

And, of course, the greatest Jackass stunt ever, "Being Slapped By Sean Combes"

I'm kind of over meeting people who are just going to forget me anyway. At the MTV Movie Awards, I was like, "Hey Puffy, what's up? Remember me? You slapped me in Jackass." And he was like, "Yeah, dogg, whatever. Look, I gotta go hang out with Ashton Kutcher."

do we know if there are any hidden goodies on the Jackass DVD, I've watched the extras soooo many times already.

"Hi Party Boy!"
"Hey Wee Man, what's all this crap?"

I love the "Parenting with the Margeras" commercials and Johnny's quote, "How could such two good sweet people produce such evil? [Bam]"

Any time I trip over something or drop something or otherwise risk injury around the house, I try to picture it as a Jackass-style stunt. Preferably involving Steve-O.

Note that it is more homoerotic than most gay porn!

Plus Johnny Knoxville is HOTT.

Yes. This is why you must watch Wild Boyz.

Margera could not contain himself on Wednesday (October 31) when a jury delivered a split verdict of guilty on two counts of sexual assault on a child. The 51-year-old uncle of "Viva La Bam" star Bam Margera, who was acquitted of a third count, received the news after the jury in the case had deliberated for less than a day.

Margera had been accused of groping three young girls — one 14-year-old and two 12-year-olds — at an autograph signing at a Colorado mall in August 2006 during which they lined up to have their photos taken with the former car painter. Three teen witnesses testified last week, saying they had seen Margera touching the girls inappropriately, but the defense maintained that Margera had been in character at the event. On Friday, April Margera — Bam's mother — testified for the defense, portraying her brother-in-law as a harmless, bumbling man.

During the two-week trial, his attorney had argued that Margera's vulgar, obnoxious actions were part of his outrageous "Don Vito" persona. Prosecutor Jim Stanley countered that argument, according to the Rocky Mountain News, saying, "this man was out of control during this public event. He was so intoxicated that he peed his pants while with these children."

While Margera was acquitted on a third count of sexual assault on a child, the two felony convictions, each class-four felonies, could land Margera anywhere from two to six years and up to life in prison when he is sentenced in December, according to a press release on the conviction from the Jefferson County District Attorney's office. He could also receive probation for a minimum of 10 years and up to life on each charge.

District Attorney Scott Storey said, "These young victims did a great job in court. This is always difficult for children victims. I really admire their courage. As for the one not-guilty verdict, the jury apparently didn't believe we'd met our burden in proving the count beyond a reasonable doubt."

Margera was taken into custody by the Jefferson County Sheriff after the verdict was read and will be held without bond until sentencing on December 20. According to Pam Russell, a spokeswoman for the DA's office, when the verdict was read, in addition to falling to the floor and yelling expletives, Margera had to be restrained and calmed by several sheriff's deputies.

Russell said Margera and his two female attorneys were standing at the defense table when the verdicts were read, and as soon as the first guilty count came down, Margera "fell or threw himself backwards and hit the ground, making a loud noise, causing some furniture to fly." Because there was the possibility that Margera might be convicted and remanded immediately into custody, there were a number of sheriff's deputies on hand, and four of them immediately rushed over to check on Margera. As they approached, Russell said Margera yelled out, "you might as well kill me now," as well as, "I can't f---ing spend the rest of my life in jail," "you cops lied" and "you can rot in f---ing hell!"

Margera continued to struggle and flail on the ground as the judge, now standing, read the second guilty count, and deputies worked to get Margera's hands behind his back to cuff him and calm him down. At one point, Russell said, there was a concern that Margera might be having trouble breathing, so more deputies were dispatched to help, as well as a paramedic with a defibrillator and a wheelchair. Soon, almost a dozen police officers were surrounding Margera as the judge polled the jurors and attempted to quickly get them out of the courtroom because she could see they were shocked by Margera's actions, according to Russell. Eventually, the deputies were able to cuff Margera, and when they could not get a clear answer from him about whether he would sit in the wheelchair, they struggled to lift him and remove him from the courtroom.

Perhaps not the best of moves.

aw fuck :(

oh god

that link just updated with a photo of the car wreck holy shit there's like nothing left of it

holy shit, that's awful

this sucks RIP

RIP

my ex just reminded me of how much I used to like that Homewreckers thing he did

or possibly I just found the concept hysterical as I don't specifically recall watching it

but yeah, grim photo

that + drinking photo after...

jesus this happened about 15 minutes from where i sit right now. r.i.p. dude.

stay classy, TMZ

no shit, the first line of this

34-year-old Dunn appeared in all of the "Jackass" movies -- famously shoving a toy car into his rectum in the first flick back in 2002.

you're talking about a fucking guy dying, jesus christ

um... so? the guy's legacy is pretty much doing idiotic stuff on a tv show. what else are they going to talk about - his volunteer work with African orphans?

also IT'S TMZ

gandhi could come back to life, get run down by paris hilton's suv outside a mall, and tmz's first line would be "mohandas gandhi, known for the racialist articles he wrote in the early 1900s..."

you could just say he was a cast member on Jackass, a show that ran for xx years and three movies, blah blah blah. I would think as any sort of public entity you should at least not try to be somewhat respectful for the sake of his family and friends

i'm not overly familiar with TMZ, are they always like this?

this is pretty tame for tmz.

I don't even get how this isn't classy?

"G.G. Allin, respected avante-garde performance artist, passed away Sunday following complications…"

love it though i do, i always got a whiff of major depression underwriting a lot of jackass

(how you can smell that something underwrites something else is a q for another day)

yeah I kinda freaked out a bit when I found out that Johnny Knoxville was 40. it's like, "what now?"

i'm pretty sure that the jackass guys will be proud to be remembered as the guy that did *most ridiculous stunt x* upon their deaths

that photo is pretty grizzly but i don't see anything wrong in printing it, either -- but then again i'm pretty bullish on tmz

I don't know what it is but that area of pennsy breeds madness

I have family there, and it's where nearly every life-threatening adventure I've ever had involving fire, motor vehicles, and/or substances occurred

xp - i would think so too, i'm just not a fan in general of how deaths get handled in the media the day it actually happens

haha edward i was born and bred and i can chalk it up to three things: 1.) immense boredom, 2.) college town, 3.) cheap alcohol.

4) curvy roads (?)

it is one hill-y fucking place, yes.

yeah let's not get too worked up, no one has tried to make a 'rectum damn thing killed him' joke yet

except for me i guess

fuck. rip. :(

to be honest i'm always surprised there's not MORE alcohol-related vehicular deaths around here.

involving the amish.

actually kind of wigging out that dunn was only a year older than me. we just went to different high schools. eesh.

yeah I kinda freaked out a bit when I found out that Johnny Knoxville was 40. it's like, "what now?"

― frogbs, Monday, June 20, 2011 12:00 PM (1 hour ago) Bookmark

Seriously? He's been 40 since he was 30.

xps: elmo!

it's something else tho? I've been all over the northeast, college boredom and alcohol's always in abundance, but in that woodsy area south/west of philly ppl be crazy. like, an ex-gf from there was implicated in a vampire cult murder and I'm still not 100% sure she wasn't involved.

Man, when you drop something like "vampire cult murder" you should really offer up some kind of specifics.

no that really is a regular thing around here

given all the shit they do/abuse they heap on themselves, kind of amazed that this is the only Jackass-cast death to-date

rip jackass

xxp: actually, a little searching returned more than one potential hit, so I'm just gonna let that go.

thx man

Whenever someone mentions "dunn" itt i'm reading it in the voice of prodigy

Louis ck interview on pfork today mentioned jackass, sad this revive wasnt about that instead

this sucks

he was really chill and above it all in jackass 3d

yeah he was always the "sophisticated center"

the slut = wee man
the innocent = steve-o
the cynic = knoxville
the sophisticated center = dunn

pontius is the slut, though, surely?

revolving slut-door

I went to high school with half these guys. Some are idiots. At least one used to carve swastikas into my sister's locker (what a hilarious prank!). One, with whom I was friendly, went on to become a bio-chemist. So it takes all kinds, I guess. Fun to see the locations of my formative years defiled and destroyed, though.

I am so sad to see this news. Dunn was possibly my favourite cast member. Cos of the beard and being Bam's mate though, I don't think he ever got his props. RIP dude, hope you are ripping the shit out of Heaven right now. Gonna go watch all three of the movies in honour. (And I just bought my second copy of the 3rd to see what the new extras were like - no commentary unfortunately).

Also:

the slut - pontius.
the cynic - bam.
the innocent - steve o.
the sophisticated center - dunn.
the eye candy - knoxville.

hope they make a fourth one in honour where they try to see who can get away with shoving the most up their butts.

Dunn was actually my beardo inspiration. Sad he's gone, but if he was drunk when he crashed into a tree he's not as smart as I thought he was.

you thought he was smart?

i loved him but come on

i think they're all pretty intelligent guys, tbh

I went to high school with half these guys.

― Josh in Chicago, Monday, June 20, 2011 10:58 AM (54 minutes ago)

oh yeah? where are you from?

Has to be West Chester PA right?

i think they're all pretty intelligent guys, tbh

Yeah, Steve-O is really the only one who strikes me as a person who's made it through life on account of his willingness to do things other people won't. The rest of them seem like reasonably intelligent people.

i would say the same, they're definitely smart in some ways, obviously this thing that resulted in Dunn's death was pretty fucking stupid.

you'd always see them doing fairly unbelieveable things, and it was easy to see their motivation given the popularity of the franchise, but Steve-O was the only one who seemed like he was legitimately nuts

He died as he lived: with car parts up his ass.

Too soon?

RIP Ryan.

ok JACKASS 3.5 IS LIKE A WHOLE NEW JACKASS MOVIE EVERYONE GO BUY IT, THEY MAKE GHETTO DEFRIBULATORS

They were showing it stunt-by-stunt on some website, but I decided to wait for the whole shebang before watching any of them.

http://i.imgur.com/0gVxV.jpg

lol, ttyih

Lol I kept thinking that every time I saw this guy's pic.

HOLY SHIT THE FLAMING GAUNTLET IS THE GNARLIEST THING THEY HAVE EVER DONE

now I gotta go see if this is at the RedBox.

3.5 that is

xpost West Chester, PA. East High School, class of '93.

ok the last scene is truly the greatest thing in history. it is *special* like citizen kane and sgt. peppers and shakespeare etc.

dude idk if you're like on the street team to sell this dvd but it's working on me, damn you

i'm not affliated with mtv in any way.

GODDAMMIT my Red Box has it on the signage but of course, no Jackass 3.5 to be found in the machine.

fuck

Aww RIP. He had the best band t-shirts of any of 'em.

I loved his straight guy act. He'd volunteer to be hurt in some stupid but imaginative way then it would turn out to hurt even more than it was supposed to, usually because of Bam Margera being a dick, and you'd get a pregnant pause with Dunn having a small moment of contemplation before a deadpan assessment of the perpetrator "You're an asshole."

Great beard too, obv.

Bam doesn't seem to be holding up well, this is a sad interview:

http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/entertainment/movies/bam-margera-first-inteview-after-tragedy-062111

rip bam

130 mph ffs

does that Darwin award site still exist

Its pretty much impossible for me to feel sorry for someone that dies like this, but I always really liked Dunn and this bums me out. This thread also doing a great job reminding me I need to see 3.5.

Police: Dunn's BAC twice the legal limit at time of fatal crash

Published: Wednesday, June 22, 2011

By JENNIFER CARBONI
Staff Writer

WEST GOSHEN - West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll said Wednesday that "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn's blood alcohol content was more than twice the state's legal limit at the time Dunn crashed his Porsche Monday morning, killing himself and his passenger.

Carroll said Dunn's BAC was .196 at the time of the accident. The legal limit in Pennsylvania is .08. Carroll said alcohol was the only substance in Dunn's system.

"No other substances were found in his blood other than the alcohol," Carroll said.

Yesterday, Carroll announced that Dunn was traveling roughly 130 mph when his vehicle collided with a guardrail, landed in the woods and burst into flames about 2:40 a.m. Monday near Pottstown Pike.

Dunn, 34, and his passenger, Zachary D. Hartwell, both of West Chester were pronounced dead at the scene.

About two hours before the crash, a photo of Dunn and two other men apparently drinking was posted to Dunn’s Twitter account. The image has since been removed from Twitter.

In 2005, West Whiteland police arrested Dunn for driving under the influence after he crashed his BMW in the 1300 block of Burke Road. Dunn later completed the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition Program, which allows first offenders to have their criminal record erased if they complete a probationary period and other court supervised requirements.

So the only thing Ebert's guilty of is perhaps some poor timing.

.196 would be completely lit for a lot of people. No idea what Dunn's tolerance was, but he should've known better than to drive anyway.

realize he's a celeb but fuck this guy for drunk driving in my neck of the woods

irealize he's a celeb but fuck this guy for drunk driving in my neck of the woods

pretty sure we can just leave it like this, drunk drivers are pretty much the most disgusting savages

i would wait a while to tweet those feelings.

oof!

Drab pervert? Oh man, the worst kind of pervert.

i feel sort of horrible even thinking this but yeah, jackass v. westboro sounds like something the world needs right now

Yeah, I had the same thought. It would be nice to see the (adults) of Westboro get the beatdown they so dearly deserve, and get it on camera.

do you mean a literal beatdown, because my understanding is that Westboro funds itself by suing ppl who touch them

physical beatdown of Westboro and then legal beatdown of Jackass.

like, i don't really see the Jackass guys running over and beating these people down. more like doing something prank-esque to them that will leave them covered in something disgusting and possibly missing a few limbs.

No need to touch them--just a flyover with a helicopter and a port-a-potty.

xpost

You're right, covering them in shit would be better.

provided they don't do anything ~criminal~ i sorta think (read: wish) that jackass/mtv have deep enough pockets to say 'come at me bro' to the inevitable lawsuit

sure but the end result is Westboro has more money to continue hassling ppl, which I think none of us want to see happen

I mean, if someone wants to take one for the rest of us and just outright kill them, that's also awful and against the law

yeah i mean most of the time i'm all in favor of taking the high road but westboro srsly challenges my ability to think rationally/humanely

it would really be irresponsible and wrong to hope someone just machine guns down as many of them as he or she can before getting taken down by the police

only a monster, a morally justified and prob p cool to hang out with monster, would kill them all ninja style and totally get away with it

weird you would post next - i was just, for some reason, picturing them getting run down by an ice cream truck en mass.
i think i'm jsut really tired and overworked

haha brb

lol

in Goshen, PA (one of the most evil states to ever exist)

pennsylvania, one of the 50 evilest states... ever!

sure but the end result is Westboro has more money to continue hassling ppl

What would the local jury pool likely think of a good pwning of Westboro?

whats up with these westboro assholes? They only go up against someone once they're dead? Kinda retarded.

however, pleased to be informed PA is one of the most evil states to ever exist because id been wondering who makes that list

xp: likely because of that very issue, I wouldn't be surprised if they frequently end up with bench trials

i put "hated" in our netflix queue just this morning!

iirc in the movie there was some discussion that toy car up the butt would be dunns legacy, the doctor even said 'dont tell anyone abt this'

does anyone think there's a chance for anymore "jackass"-related projects or is this the end?

Hard to say. None of them have ever died before.

they shouldve really stopped after 2, theyre too old for these shenanigans

granted, I still need to watch 3.5, but 3 was merely amusing whereas 2/2.5 were supreme entertainment.

i just want to see bam do mean shit to his parents tbh

johnny knoxville especially tho seems to have some deep fetishistic need to do this shit

Knoxville is one of the few (only?) who is a family man tho...

If Jackass is no more, we'll never see Lance Bangs impulse-puke again I guess.

surely u r thinking of steve-o

idk if youve ever seen knoxville interviewed he gets v excited and starts biting his hand whenever jackass is brought up

they shouldve really stopped after 2, theyre too old for these shenanigans

watching some of the interviews that happened around the time of the 3rd one, I think they knew that they were all getting past the age where they can still viably do this shit, and it's almost touching watching them realize that the third movie was probably the "last time", but it's still making a ton of money or whatever

for the record I could have sworn the WWE was going to take a massive hit and possiblty fold after Chris Benoit's murder/suicide so what do I know

What on earth made you think that Benoit situation would make any noticeable dent in the WWE, considering the whole Owen Hart thing didn't cause Vince to bat an eye?

Jackass vs Westboro might be the one time Party Boy doing his thing makes me laugh.

xp - the situations were a lot different. Owen Hart getting killed was a freak accident that sucked and was horrible and exposed the dangers of the 'sport', but the Benoit thing exposed the whole underbelly of the WWE and its culture of steroids, plus had the side effect of killing two innocent people, one of whom was a child. It's a lot harder to support the franchise with the latter!

I mean look at all the negative PR that's being generated for the NFL when you find that people who were superstars 20 years ago can't walk or are so brain damaged that they're driven to suicide, don't know if that's going to effect their bottom line at all but it's becoming a major issue that's conflicting a lot of fans

yeah but wwe fans maybe dont care so much abt stuff

it isn't really xp

I totally get your point frogbs, but I really think that Vince McMahon is a money-hungry douchebag that couldn't care less about any of that negativity and will plow forward, undaunted by any of the publicity. I mean, Benoit's death was four years ago now and I think the fallout would have been felt already if it was going to be.

I mean, if someone wants to take one for the rest of us and just outright kill them, that's also awful and against the law

lol Dan never change!

xp - yeah I guess in retrospect it sucks that absolutely nothing's changed

still, if I had to guess I would say Jackass is pretty much over

wwe has actually seen a big audience drop off since benoit fyi although that could be cos its shittier

jackass v. westboro is potentially the greatest thing ever

i bet there will be a jackass 4 - maybe if he died during a stunt it would be different

wwe has actually seen a big audience drop off since benoit fyi although that could be cos its shittier

True, but as you pointed out I think that has more to do with the departure of The Rock and not having al ot of marketable stars at the moment. I think they are just in the midst of one of their periodic downswings that happens when a bunch of talent leaves and before they've bred the new ones to reach superstar level. Plus the increased popularity of MMA has to be taking a huge bite out of the WWE fanbase. Point being, I don't really think the audience drop off has much of anything to do with Benoit.

i heard something about a ghost of eddie guerrero storyline that didn't go down too well...

3.5 was oddly heavy on injuries, I thought. More people getting stitched or hit in the head hard enough to cause concern. Still funny, especially the countless ball hits. Enema Long Jump was the only thing that made my wife turn away, partly, I think, in sheer disbelief. Also, a conspicuous lack of Bam messing with his parents, and a conspicuous emphasis on confessionals and behind-the-scenes pranks. Though the payoff to the human bowling/lube/paintball copter prank is a good one.

i heard something about a ghost of eddie guerrero storyline that didn't go down too well...

Is this for real? I stopped paying any kind of attention to WWE around 2002, but I wouldn't be surprised if this happened.

The Rock's back in the WWE now isn't he? I definitely know what you mean since after he left I pretty much stopped hearing about wrestling altogether. Have they even had another superstar since? I hear the name John Cena a lot but don't know anything about him.

oh wait, I do know something about him. a buddy of mine d/led his rap album and it was pretty funny. but not THAT funny. those old Wrestlemania soundtracks really were amazing. the days of amazingly ludacris stuff like "Speaking From the Heart" by the Macho Man is over! or maybe I just got really out of touch

John Cena is boring as hell and a hark back to 'eat yr vitamins' superhero hogan - i.e. kids fucking love him even though he's a bitch

The Rock is back in the sense that he's on the show once every 3 months and has a match next April v Cena

Everyone retired or is on the verge of it and Punk is leaving so they are left w/ p much no-one interesting. Also Kane is a face. Hard time out there for a pimp (Vince).

Most 2 interesting guys these days is a mexican who can't speak english and a dude who has gone crazy after supposedly losing his looks so wheres a see-thru mask proving that he looks exactly the same

wtf?

Of course nothing will ever top the craziness of the storyline where Mae Young "dated" Mark Henry then gave birth to a hand after the Dudley Boyz 3d'ed her through a table.

okay wait a minute

do you mean Punk as in CM Punk or Punk as in David Otunga, aka Punk from "I Love New York 2"

i can't believe i missed a chance to go throw rocks at fred phelps and krew yesterday :(

CM Punk, obv.

and it wasn't a mixed race hand! slapper.

watched jackass 2 for the first time last night. it reminded me v much of an italian mondo/exploitation movie, what w/ all the animal exotica and gross-out cruelty (leeches on the eyeball!) Even the description for Mondo Cane on Wikipedia makes them sound the same - "The film consists of a series of travelogue vignettes that provide glimpses into cultural practices around the world with the intention to shock or surprise Western film audiences.[1]"

Steve-O's new show is ridiculously entertaining...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kCcGnp75XU

New movie; spring 2021. Surprising they haven’t brought it back sooner considering the 3D film made something like ten times its money back in the opening couple of weeks. I guess Knoxville is.. 50ish now??

Wow, didn't expect that.

I need assurances that Phil and April will be participating (willingly or unwillingly).

unwillingly is always better

I don’t see how this could be anything but utterly depressing

you have no soul

Haha, I honestly kinda root for these guys! There’s undeniably an age limit to this though. And it’s been dark enough in their older years off camera.

turn of the millennium culture was so bleak

https://www.gq.com/story/johnny-knoxvilles-last-rodeo

Good one!

god i love him/them

Great interview. The show and movies got me through one of the roughest parts of my life. I'm pretty ambivalent about this new one because these guys are old and getting hurt takes a toll now and I don't want to see them get too hurt, but on the other hand, I want to see them get hurt

Johnny Knoxville is like our generation’s Hooper
he is fucking nuts but so committed to the stunt I love him for it while I pray for him not to die

also silverfox Knoxville is a blessing omg

Immediately sent the urethral tear bits to all my dudes.

bummer about Bam’s situation

That text from Steve-O is oddly touching

yeah the rehab section made me tear up a bit

definitely made me think of some guys I've known for 20+ years, including one who died overdosing on fentanyl in 2014. it sucks to have friends who won't ask for help.

More fun facts: the Bam contingent of this show/series were mostly a couple of years under me at my high school, which is 15 minutes from where "Mare of Easttown" is set, so there's some context for you.

Delayed until 2022. Why not just cancel everything? This pandemic sucks.

booooooooo

;_;

Man

Ughhhh

Some all-time bits in this new one but man, they can say what they want about loving each other and catharsis and what not, I suspect they really do not like Ehren and just enjoy torturing him.

Also, props to the new cast for going all-out but I can't see myself paying to see any of them on their own going forward, if that's the plan.

Wasn't a big fan of this one, which seemed kind of half-assed. First, yeah, the new cast (who I think I was introduced to a few months ago in Jackass Sharkweek?) doesn't have much going for it. And second, aside from a couple of bits it was just kind of ... transparently obvious? Like, a guy will walk into a room and just say out loud "oh, I guess I am all alone, that's weird," and then he'll sit in the one chair. "Oh, what will happen? Come on, guys, why are you dumping honey on my head? Oh no, now you are putting salmon in my crotch. What the, a bear!?" This one seemed even more reliant than usual on dick trauma, too.

I had never seen any Jackass episode or movie before and I lolled plenty and wished I could sit in a cinema full of other people lolling even harder

Oh, you're in for a treat! The other movies (and the show, and Wild Boyz; Pontius is the most charismatic) are all pretty funny.

I saw this a second time with some family who hadn't seen it yet and think I might have liked it a little better. Both times on weekend nights the audience was really small for such a big release; not much different from watching it at home really.

I think the twist with the bear skit is that they had led Ehren to believe he was gonna get stung by bees. That one still leaves me uneasy because there was literally nothing to prevent the bear from mauling him until the trainer decided he had to step in.

The issue I have (not an ethical issue or anything, just as a viewer) is that unlike Knoxville, Pontius, Steve-O, Wee-Man, Preston, Dave, etc., he just does not seem to be having fun in his segments. He'll subject himself to getting punched hard in the nuts and he'll seem really unhappy about it from the start, and react with as much anger as pain, and then ... just do it again. So is his discomfort and anger an act? Like, why would he think *anything* good would come from getting strapped to an electrified chair, or get a hockey puck to the nuts, or get put in a room with a rattlesnake, and so on? Let alone repeatedly? It's kind of joyless, which is antithetical to the ethos.

Another thing I disliked about the new cast (as such) is that they were all admitted fans of the show and seemed almost intentionally cast for their compliance and/or pain tolerance. So the fat guy that jumps onto a cactus pile ... so? He barely reacts. Or the girl that sticks her tongue on the sparking thing? Um, OK, she did it. But there's nothing particularly creative about either set up. There's no surprise, nothing can go wrong because nothing can go right. Unlike Knoxville almost getting killed by a bull (which apparently had a planned outcome that did not come to fruition) or even Pontius playing ping-pong with his dick or Steve-O farting underwater (which took some problem solving and trial and error and stuff). They just do the thing, which kind of earns a shrug in my book.

Ehren has always been crabby (or, yknow, normal) though! thats why stunts w him were always extra funny to me because he was SO gullible & SO pissed off afterwards

i resisted "more reliant than usual on dick trauma" as a dn

Or the girl that sticks her tongue on the sparking thing? Um, OK, she did it.

Yeah my only real complaint is that Rachel Wolfson was a bit of a nonentity onscreen. The bits that she was a participant in she didn’t really react or do anything funny, she was kind of just there. Not sure what they see in her that she made the cut.

likely her willingness to stick her tongue on the sparking thing

Oof:

There is a lot of penis work going on in the latest movie.

Johnny Knoxville has a new interview podcast cohosted w Elna Baker of NPR where they talk to fearless folks like Jeb Corliss, Gary Leffew, Trav

Pastrana etc

its called Pretty Sure I Could Fly & it’s a good time imo

fave eps so far:
Trav Pastrana - love him, always have
Ann Daniels - walked both North & South Poles as a normcore English lady with no outdoorsy background
Dudley Tal Stokes - jamaicam bob sledder

also Garret McNamara but only because the sidestories about his early life are fucking WILD

Gary Leffew the bullrider is hella fun & interesting but he talks almost exactly like Boomhauer from King of the Hill so you may need to listen at half-speed to catch everything lol

Jeb Corliss is interesting & wild of course but his intensity is at like a 12 which gives him kind of a weird psychotic energy that makes him hard to listen to.

ugh sorry for shitposting

but re Jeb Corliss despite my discomfort he gets Johnny to talk in more depth about why he did his own stunts, what was in him that needed to do that etc & is a surprisingly revealing convo

ok i’m done i swear lol
