Jackass: the movie

I've never really seen the TV show (half an ep here and there) or the CKY videos, which should come next?

as my normally stoic roommate said of the movie at the time: "Best $8 i spent all year."

Watched a making of on MTV last night.Much lamentation on how hard it is to pull pranks now b/c of their recognizibility. Also, Bam was made to cry. haw!

Now he reigns alone?

shall you be a bit patronizing to me too Ned?

I wasn't being patronizing! I *love* the fact that those are her two favorite movies to look forward to! :-)

i feel genuinely bad for those who cannot, for whatever reason (childhood bed wetting trauma, republicanism, overly conceptual mindstate), enjoy it.

misfire, chief. nothing agin This Sort Of Thing in general, just execution (also the guys are hard to like).

i've never understood that, either. it must be pretty awful. especially people who watch it, but then look away/cover their face during the painful/gross out bits.
why are you watching it at all!?
i watched that episode where they sit there drinking a gallon of milk because i knew they'd spew it up again, not because i like watching people drink milk.
TEH MIND, IT DOES BOGGLE.

Absolutely dire. I never saw the movie but I used to love "Jackass"!

You know when the Mayor of Morecambe said he wanted his town to be the British Las Vegas?

sorry didn't mean to be mean - it's just that that movie is exuberant joy personified in all its fucked up, brilliant vicissitudes.

*my conjecture

the guys are hard to like

If only I had this problem.

re: Bam tears - he fears teh snakes and was locked in a pen with a King Cobra. Dastardly. Most of the special I watched last night was the guys complaining about how evil and cruel their director(jeff tremaine) is. Apparantly with the fame all they are left with is pain-inducing stunts on each other and dressing up as old folx.

“Jackass Number Two” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Things you can’t even imagine.

Just about the only thing that could make this movie any gayer would be cameos from John Waters and Rip Taylor and a closing Busby Berkley-style musical production number. Oh wait, it's got those too.

The whole series and all the movies should be in the Criterion Collection. In packaging at least as fancy as their Godzilla set.

agreeeeeeeeee

i watched all of these recently and while the fellas are physically running out of gas by 3 it's all still up there with my favorite cinema of all-time

i think it has a lot to do with how much they genuinely like each other & the inherent youthfulness in the stupid joy they give each other & the audience. i think that makes it weirdly eternal

also nut shots

the GQ article/interview recently was amazing

One thing I also love about Jackass is that they nearly always pull pranks on each other rather than random people, and it has a remarkably KIP vibe for what could easily get ugly

I tried to rewatch one of Bam's CKY movies recently and had to turn it off. The vibe is gross, lots of slurs, mean pranks on strangers. Even though it has a bunch of the elements I like about Jackass

100% agree

Oh so golfers aren’t people

Gotta say when the “Corona” riff came in I got a bit misty eyed

golfers aren’t people

It's ok to punch up

But I think I am probably underestimating the number of pranks they pull on strangers. Maybe it's better to say they save their worst stuff for each other

i have bursitis

I've showed my kids a couple of clips here and there and they just don't really get it. I've gotta assume a steady diet of tik tok et al has innured them to some of it's charms. At the same time, there are some Jackass gross eating gags I just don't think I can stomach anymore. Downing freshly expressed horse semen? Eating a vomit omelette? I dunno, man ...

I don't remember if they're from the show or the movies but I can't watch the fishhook or paper cut sketches

yeah the paper cut bit is by far the most upsetting one for me, have never been able to watch it.

thats interesting about your kids josh. never thought of it that way but i guess that raw skate video clip look that felt so fresh and exciting at the time (no host, no sets, not plot, no point) is the dominant format of online video now & must not look special at all to young eyes.

first time I saw the first movie was in high school with like 15 other people, literally no one could watch the papercut scene. its annoying but I guess that's part of their thing, it's not Jackass if they can't freak out the entire audience

Mentioned before, but a hunk of the Jackass crew was maybe two years younger than me at my high school. Lots of the show and movies feature destruction of/at sites in and around my home town. Couple of the jackasses bullied my younger sister so bad (I was gone by then, iirc) she left school early.

Because it's a lot more relatable than some of the other stuff. Croquet ball in the nuts? A rare experience. Savage paper cut from a manila envelope? We've all felt that pain.

i will totally go see this and i apologize for nothing

wow josh i must have missed that whenever you talked about it - does the stuff w/your sister spoil your enjoyment of it at all?

I feel like Knoxville and Steve-O are probably good guys. The rest all seem like people you would not want to know IRL

bam obviously has his demons but seems like a totally shithead

definitely watching this in the theatre after ripping a bifter outside

i love that Steve-O was a full-on Deadhead

or idk, “is” still probably

I am so excited for this movie. Hope Wee Man gets a decent amount of screen time. I rewatched two of these recently and honestly I think my favourite scene was him not getting that the chair was electric and that he was convinced they had a secret card throwing machine.

the Looney Tunes fake background painting thing <3

oh god wee man & the card throwing 😂😂😂
fuck that was funny

I can't even remember the last time I was actually "excited" and "anticipating" a piece of media

i rewatched 1 the other day and laughed hardest when rip taylor randomly showed up, i had totally forgotten about that.

i love how knoxville (i assume stuff like that is all knoxville) is so into & amused by old time classic hollywood/showbiz stuff like that

otm

JK is clearly a buster keaton devotee, one of the reasons I love his bits so much is how cinematic his version of jackassian showmanship tends to be

"I was Lon Cheney's lover."

also helps that he’s a diehard Evel Knievel fan too
