I saw Viva La Bam - Fat Boy Face Off this morning. In it, as expected, they destroy other people's property. This time though one of the things they destroyed isn't really replacable. Usually they just destroy cars etc, or walls in the house. Things that can be replaced. I have always hoped that they pay to fix/replace what they destroyed. In this episode though, they completely destroyed something irreplacable (even though according to the "rules" of the game they shouldn't have - as if I expected them to follow the rules, but anyway).

Has anyone heard why his family keeps going along with this? Does he replace everything he trashes?

It's a t.v show, and the last season was highly scripted. Of course April's family plates weren't really destroyed. And of course MTV replaces everything that is destroyed.

I highly doubt they are destroying anything of value to anyone.

Ok that's good to know. Usually people only act upset, but she seemed REALLY pissed in this episode. Even after she checked what was left of it, so I got the impression that this time they had actually destroyed something they cared about.

I had no idea it was actually scripted. I figured it was set up (like Survivor, etc) but I didn't realize the family members followed scripts.

His show this season has an 8million dollar budget. So he can break lots of things.

I really don't like this show.

WildBoyz is much funnier.

Well, that really depends on which side of S&M you prefer.

I like how they give subtitles to everything that Uncle Vito says. I just cannot understand anything he says.

Knoxville & Wee Man appear on Wild Boyz all the time, but I doubt if they ever guested on Viva La Bam. Plus I can't stand that guy Margera-he seems really into himself.

I think that's why I like the show, he's quite full of himself. Makes me laugh. Although I enojy it now, I doubt I'll continue enjoying it because there's only so long I can laugh at them destorying Vito's car.

The only funny one was Vegas, but even then the Russian wife seemed really fake. The show is way too staged.

But even so, it's funnier than other staged "reality" shows like Family Business.

the russian wife was completely fake.

What a great show

I think the show is hilarious

I'm the complete opposite - Viva La Bam is one of the funniest things MTV has ever put on the air and WildBoys is complete shit, imo.

The ONLY funny one?

Mardi Gras was hilarious.

Community Disservice was great.

I could go on and on.

The only good thing about the show is Vito. God that man is hilarious.

Well, a lot of the first season of Jackass was all Bam's old clips from his CKY videos. He had some quality material to bring to the table, haven't seen his new show yet, though.

I saw Bam on some talk show and he explained that most of the first season of Jackass was just stuff that he had already taped with his buddies. MTV got Knoxville and the rest of those guys from LA to do their own bits and mixed it all into the one show. Bam seemed pretty bitter about Knoxville being more famous and getting all the credit for Jackass.

Knoxville was doing his own show/video reports for Big Brother magazine. The first season of Jackass was a mix of Big Brother, Steve-O own stuff CKY (anything w/ Bam or his friends was CKY) and a few new things. Knoxville and the producer (forget his name, the fat one) was the ones that were tryign to put a show together, and found Bam doing his videos and invited him to join them to make Jackass. The funniest stuff from the early JA shows was mostly CKY.

BRING BACK JACKASS

I stopped enjoying Viva LaBam when I found out that his parents also get paid for the show.

That sort of takes the surprise element out of things.

I liked it when Vito pulled off his toe nail. That was funny.

Exactly that's why Viva La Bam is so good. They were the best part of that entire show.
