Jackass is the funniest show ever, that's all I can say. Just see Chris Pontius turn himself into Party Boy at an electronics store and you'll die laughing. If you haven't seen this show yet, or don't plan on seeing the movie, then get a nice big set of pliers and remove the plug from your hinea because you don't know how to laugh. 'Nuff said.

JACKASS is the most brilliant and idiotic show on television. It's the kind of genius idea one gets while they're half-baked. The best characters are "Night Monkey" (Chris Pontius) and "Danger Ehren" (Ehren McGheyey). sure people will imitate the things done on here, especially the c**p done by Bam Margera, Brandon Dicamillio, and Ryan Dunn (pushing shopping carts into curbs, jumping off roofs with umbrellas and into bushes, BMX jousting), but that's their own decision. There's plenty of disclaimers calling you a dumbass if you do this stuff. That doesn't mean you have to obey them though, just don't imitate the stuff that could get you killed (Human Barbecue, Alligatorama, Self-Defense). Being a dumbass can be fun. Being a JACKASS is something holy.

Johnny Knoxville and his friends show no fear in all the hilarious stuff they do in this show.Some of the stunts they do are more dangerous and nasty than what you see in "Fear Factor".Like would you agree to be in a public street plastic toilet while it being taken upside down and all the "material" in it goes down on you? Johnny Knoxville did it.And there's that scene where Johnny Knoxville puts protection against fire and then puts meat on him and becomes the human grill.And where they put him in front of a very scary bull that chases him.Good laugh for open spirit people.

"Jackass" is probably the most retarded TV show EVER...but I love it. I'm sorry, but the first time I saw it, I was laughing out loud at what these freaks were doing. Turning a porta-potty upside down with someone inside, diving in a sewage/c*** tank, driving 8 hours to a town called Mianus, beating the c*** out of your dad, mowing the lawn naked, putting a fake baby inside a car seat and sitting on the roof the car and driving away, just to see peoples reaction, is absolutally stupid, and makes these people live up to the title. But I love it, its funny, and sick, and retarded.

"Jackass" is, to say the least, an outstanding achievement. Most television (before the reality craze) is carefully crafted, written and rewritten to the point of insanity on the part of all involved, then exhaustive searches for the actors take place, and all this without a guarantee of ever making it to air.And then there's "Jackass". A group of twenty-somethings (now thirty-somethings) who make idiots out of themselves just by inflicting pain or dancing around in a man thong. It may not sound like much, but this is highly entertaining television. Its now spawned a number of imitators (although a fan of said shows will always tell you that *insert shows name* came before Jackass and that its so extreme it makes the Jackass guys look like girly men), but not one would have ever made it to air if it weren't for "Jackass" nor are the entertainers nearly as charming and funny as the "Jackass" crew. "'Ass" has always maintained the perfect balance of extreme stunts AND very funny practical jokes on the unsuspecting public, while imitators only focus on stunts.Although some of the stunts from the show may not seem that extreme compared to the two Jackass films, I still highly recommend checking out "Jackass: The Boxed Set" for a quick, mindless laugh.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is one of the most silly but very entertaining ideas ever created. Basically a bunch of American guys perform stupid, funny and sometimes dangerous like stunts. They have had puking, bruises, broken arms and legs and some blood performing some of these stunts, but all are as funny as the first. Starring Johnny Knoxville who does nearly anything, Bam Margera who does anything, but also plays jokes on his parents Phil and April, Steve-O, Chris Pontius sometimes playing Party Boy and Bunny the Life Guard, Ryan Dunn, Ehren McGhehey, fat Preston Lacy, Jason Acuña, or Wee Man, Dave England, Jeff Tremaine (directed the movie) and Rick Kosick. The Christmas Special was number 49 on The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments. Very good!

Jackass would have to be one of the greatest shows of our time. This is laugh-out-loud stuff because, lets face it, people getting hurt is funny. The other gags (where people dont get hurt) are also amusing. Fun for all the family. Jackass is hard to beat in the comedy/stupidity/vile genre and is only outclassed by the New Zealand show 'Back of the Y' which is basically the same thing only with a (very weak)storyline.9.5 out of 10.

This is my favorite show ever! The stunts and jokes that they perform are so original. Although it was very simple and short, one of the best things I think they did was when they had Chris Pontius dress up in a bunny suit and close him fingers in the subway door. They did this because there was a warning sticker inside the subway which illustrated a bunny closing him fingers in the door. I try to catch old episodes of JACKASS on MTV every chance I get. Wildboyz and Viva La Bam are okay, but definitely not as good as JACKASS. Johnny Knoxville adds a special tought that no one else can add. The problem with Viva La Bam is that it is just too much of the same thing, skating, torturing him patents, etc., sure it was funny at first , but you can't have three seasons of that. Wildboyz on the other hand, is a little bit better than Viva La Bam. It brings the same screen presence as jackass with the silliness of the stunts (I.E. the hilarious nudity). ALL IN ALL I'D GIVE JACKASS 10/10 STARS, WILDBOYZ 8/10 STARS, AND VIVA LA BAM A MEASILY 2/10 STARS.

Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and the rest of the cast are so funny. They're always trying new funny stuff. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 10. Johnny Knoxville's movie career is taking of fast. I hope Jackass does not get canceled

Jackass is the best T.V show and movies(s) ever and i recommend it to anyone (who isn't stupid enough to copy the stunts) to watch it and get a great laugh outta it!! fair enough it has some stupid stunts in it like when Johnny Knoxville does the riot control test in the first movie and Bam, Ryn Dunn and Johnny Knoxville in the second movie, but the rest of the film is just completely hilarious! i'd give it 10/10 stars any day! and just hope that they can keep the good ideas coming to make these fantastic shows!! well done to all the people involved in the show producers and stars(stars also including Matt Hoffman and Tony Hawk) x
