Jackass To Return As Series Exclusively On Paramount+
 
Quote:

It looks as though Jackass is returning to TV with an all-new series on Paramount+. According to Variety, the ever-popular comedy show will return following the huge success of the recent movie, Jackass Forever.

“Based off the success of Jackass Forever, we’re working with the creators to continue the partnership with a new series, bringing even more ridiculous antics straight to Paramount+,” said Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish.


Jackass originally aired on MTV in 2000 and followed a cast of performers such as Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O embarking on dangerous, crude, and downright hilarious stunts and pranks.

Following the show’s original run, Jackass evolved into a media franchise of its own, spawning numerous spin-offs as well as four feature films. Now, the original show is set to return.

Although little else has been announced, it’s safe to assume that Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze will be back on board, with Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, and many of the original gang returning, too.

As for what stunts they’ll start with, that’s anyone’s guess. But Jackass Forever’s Cup Test is going to take some beating.

Eh, really? And it'll really have the old cast in it a lot?

Seems odd to me. It wasn't like Jackass was ever cancelled. It was ended because they'd had enough and were done, barring the occasional movie. Now the fourth movie does good and they want to bring back the show?

I think it's cool for them. They really beat themselves up over the years and most of them never made very much from it, despite how much money it pulled in.

I'm not into most of the stuns they do, but I like some of the pranks quite a bit.

The show isn't relevant in the age of TikTok. It's like G4 trying to revive a gaming channel in the age of twitch. The concept was cool but it was made irrelevant as others can do it and better.

So the ones who didn't die from their reckless and irresponsible behavior all got hooked on crack and heroin. "Awesome, let's do All That over again!" :roll:

Can someone just drop the nukes already, please? This whole "human race" thing is obviously a failed experiment.

They turned themselves into junkies by crippling themselves to appease the absolute lowest common denominator of society.

They should be forcibly sterilized, if not outright euthanized. And that goes triple for every single fan of theirs. Trailer Trash shouldn't breed.

What are you talking about? Of course G4 is still relevant. See:

Neck tattoos and "bull ring" nose piercings. Truly the sign of a well-adjusted human being.

I first watched Jackass around 2006 or so.

My reaction "this is retarded".

And I never watched it again.

You do tend to operate on a bit of a higher frequency than most people, sir.

That's probably the best compliment I've received in a long time.

I mean, it COULD be good....I just wonder if Bam is gonna come back for it after the lawsuit from the movie.

I think Bam has bigger concerns, like "Not dying of a drug overdose" which he shockingly has still managed to avoid.

My brother was obsessed with Bam and the CKY crew back in the day. He also got into HIM around the same time because they were tight with the crew and a lot of their music provided the soundtrack to the group's stunts and films.

I think he grew out of Bam once he got proper mainstream with Viva La Bam. He preferred the more underground stuff.

I remember Roger Ebert almost got himself 'cancelled' on twitter before that term became popular when he made a wisecrack about Ryan's death.

Leo656 05-04-2022 09:54 AM

Well, maybe it's not polite to say out loud but people who died the way he did probably should be made fun of. It wasn't a tragedy, it was a dumbass dying of dumbass behavior. If we pretend it was a tragedy, it increases the likelihood of another completely preventable situation like that happening in the future.

Drunk drivers don't deserve sympathy or praise. They deserve blame and shame and even in death their name should always be preceded by the words "That f*cking dumbass".
