...and will it prove to have a limited 'trigger happy' shelf life (or has it already?)

There's another thread about this somewhere - I love Jackass but hate Trigger Happy.

they're both wretched

I still quite like Trigger Happy but it got dull after the first series. Watching trailers of Jackass I thought it looked rubbish but after seeing the show it is wonderful.

Yeah, like Ally C I thought 'Jackass' was really NOT going to be my thing - oh no, prankster jocks on skateboards - but I larfed and larfed at the egg eating/puking stunt and have been addicted ever since. The gd thing abt the prog - as opposed to the vile 'Trigger Happy' - is that the joke is as much on the presenters as the 'dumb public'.

I have no idea what Trigger Happy is but I heart Jackass. Some favorite bits: Night Monkey, drinking 40s and jumping on cars to make the alarms go off; Dutch Girl; and Belt Sander Skates. heh heh.

words cannot express my love for Jackass, apart from the ones on the other thread that is.

I Love Nightmonkey!!! I'm stealing his bit. I love jackass altogether. Generic fat guy chasing midget=instant classic. Some of the bits are a little tired, but there is always that element of raw comic accidental genius that I cannot live without.

some members of this little community may or may not have re-enacted car park stunts a few weeks ago, no bones were broken.

The genius of Jackass is the sense of togetherness it creates, the main particpants seem almost like a family. Of madmen. But there's the fun!

all your names have been noted, and I will be having you all executed come the revolution.

Lady One Question!!

Is that what she's called? I saw her do Nigella (yes yes fnar fnar ramosi) and it woz funny. I larfed non-stop and so did the Us.Sus.

banzai? which i do find amusing. (yeah, i know i don't make any sense)

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 10 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Another cool thing abt 'Jackass' - they use a Minutemen song for their theme tune!

― Andrew L, Wednesday, 10 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I prefer Banzai to Jackass - dunno why as they're actually quite similar. maybe it's the fact that they turn all the stunts into a quiz and they involve ageing indie rock stars in some of them. (Like the one where they measured Shaun Ryder's weight in coke cans.)

I love the Minutemen. They also used the Circle Jerks' "Wild in the Streets" for the skateboarding w/out wheels bit. Not the best Circle Jerks, but still pretty great.

see i was going to say cabbage to thread, but he's already here... I liked the bit where they went to Mianus huh huh, huh etc

there's a guy pumping in mianus, chortle...

― CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 11 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That was a great bit too. He he, they drove all the way there just to play 12 year old humor. I love it.

― Deadman, Friday, 12 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jackass somes up todays culture: cruel, stupid, but pretty damn funny.

― Lee, Friday, 12 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jackass.........you watch it, I live it.
