But you'd buy that immediately, in the heat of the moment with no preamble whatsoever, they could talk a guy into stapling his ballsack to his leg?

60% of Jackass seems 100% legit and not staged. I like those. The purely "let's so this stunt!" ones... I'm not laughing, but I'm like, "Oh shhhh****t!"

Like Bad Grandpa. You expect a little theatricality mixed in with real stunts and real reactions. I go "hmmm mmmm" at the theatrical stuff but there's no denying the real reactions they pull.

I mean, they've built this niche. Because they're older now we should be like pfffft? They literally ended their first "movie" with a prelude to "Jackass 25" or whatever with everyone in old age makeup.

I thought "Bad Grampa" was pretty damn funny, even though I've never been really into Jackass. I guess I tend towards the bits that make for awkward or hilarious situations in public, as opposed to the painful or gross-out ones.
Anyone seen"Idiocracy"?
The "Ow my Balls!" segment is basically Jackass, at times.

And Ryan Dunn is an interesting figure in the public eye. It's interesting to see the consensus society lands on, when it comes to how we view him. I guess that mostly comes down to him being a celebrity.
I'm not saying he is to be judged by me or anyone else, because I believe we all make mistakes, while only some of us pay the ultimate price, but he has been glorified. It's odd, considering he would have been convicted of manslaughter, had he survived the crash.

His death is interesting on a few levels. It's really easy to draw the conclusion that these guys thought they were truly invincible, due to their lifestyle. To drive that fast, while drunk is insanity.

Or that they could talk a grown man into shoving a car up his ass to see it in an x-ray.....

Saw it tonight. Pretty funny. Some bits are painful to watch.

Never seen 'em, no real interest, but I'm curious how they work as 'movies'. Like isn't the show a combination of skits and stunts? Like, we'll do this stunt, then we'll do that stunt, then we'll show a guy shoving his arm up a cow's ass, etc. How the hell do they make a movie, hell several movies, with this premise? For me it makes as much sense as the Spice Girls somehow making a movie back in the day. Just random stuff slapped together for an hour and a half.

Like in the movies, what's the actual premise, like is there one or is just like.... a real extended episode with a bigger budget? Not being a dick, just honestly curious here.

There is connective material that is "scripted." Sometimes a mix.

True! I still crack up about the "Don't Feed Phil" segment.

I never found Bam very funny or the antics with his dad. My least favorite segments of Jackass were always those.

Painful as in wack/fake, or just a "You know that hurt!" kinda thing?

The latter. Lots of pain. Lots of penises and balls receiving said pain.

Finally got around to seeing this, it was really, really good. Didn't tread new ground, but the stakes were definitely higher given the frailty that comes with age. The new blood were pretty bold, much respect. Super funny. 4.5 was even better, I think.

I don't recall the new blood really doing anything crazy at all. Still, they were fine, didn't pull me out or anything.
