People being JACKASSES. It is a good show. It has gotten alot of bad press lately. I don't know ppl are so stupid.

Who knows. I have seen the show many a time. It is frigging hilarious. I loved to the one where the guy is testing out all the self-protection devices i.e stun guns,pepper spray,tazer.

Think of the Tom Green Show to the nth degree only without the humor. Jackass is interesting to watch for a few seconds and that is it.

Johnny Knoxville :D

It's friggin' "milk-squirting-out-your-nose" funny.

It's my favorite show. And I've also used the Darwinism remark about the kids that supposedly immitate the show.

Spike Jonze is one of the producers of Jackass!:eek:

What's JACKASS all about ?> gratuitous barfing

Earth Worms..
 

How about sucking a (dirty) earth worm up your nose and pulling it out of your mouth?

its about a guy being a jackass...

This show is a lot like beavis and butthead.

The intelligent watch the show and laugh at the stupid things they do.

The stupid imitate the stupid things they do.

have you noticed how lately Johnny knoxville isn't in as much of the stuff.... its more stevo and bam that are the main stunt guys....

Stevo does the most stupid stuff. Ex. Sticking his head in a tank of jellyfish, wearing a jellyfish as a hat, getting is butt checks pierced together, full body wax, the earthworm up the nose and out the mouth, swallowing and throwing up a fish which was still alive, etc...

He also does alot of the camerawork i.e. the cup test episode you can hear him speaking. Also when he gets shot with the paintball gun in the leg, Knoxville says "Shoot Spike, he's never been shot before" and Jonze takes off running.

Brad Pitt On Jackass!!
 

did anyone else watch jackass just now? brad pitt was in the night monkey skit, it rocked!

Damn it, I forgot about Jackass. I was watching Cannonball Run 2001.

Yeah, I guess hes a fan of the show!

I thought they were joking when it said his name under one of the night monkeys, then he fell and lifted his mask and I was like WTF?! :lol:

i thought exactly the same thing dek!

That's no way to talk about the lovely Ms. Aniston.

Yeah I thought the same thing. When he popped out of the van, and it said "Brad Pitt" I started laughing. My mouth dropped when he took off his mask and it was really him.

Was that the really Bard Pitt on Jackass last Sunday?
 

Doing the whole monkey sketch?

[sarcastic]No, they superimposed his face onto some dude. Brad Pitt is now suing because of it.[/sarcastic]

No, it was the fakey Bard Pitt! :D

does anyone know when this episode will be repeated???
i wanna see it!! thanx

yeah i gotta check it out too...anyone know when its gonna be repeated?

Tonight he got kidnapped!


rotfl rotfl rotfl

If anyone saw Knoxville piss on the mattress in the mattress store, that store is about 200 yards from my home & that exact same guy sold me a new mattress 3 months ago. Guess now I'm only 2 people removed from Pitt (milkdog-salesman-Knoxville-Pitt)!

RIP: MTV's Jackass

No stunt: 'Jackass' comes to a finish

August 13, 2001

BY TERRY MORROW

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--After a controversial year on MTV and 24 episodes, Johnny Knoxville is bringing his hit comedy series ''Jackass'' to a close.

The last new episode will air at 10 p.m. tonight.

Knoxville, whose real name is P.J. Clapp, is a native of South Knoxville, Tenn. The show, which features stunts gone wrong by the cast, has been the subject of national controversy this year when young viewers, mainly teen males, have tried to imitate the stunts and were seriously injured.

One boy in Connecticut suffered serious burns after trying to copy a stunt in which Knoxville tried to barbecue himself. Another boy in Kentucky was run over by a car while attempting another stunt.

Former vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., called for the show to reform itself or be taken off the air by MTV. The channel did not cancel it, and, in fact, reaped the benefits of the publicity.

Knoxville's show was MTV's highest rated weekly series most weeks.

While Knoxville kept silent during the controversy, the program fueled his career. During the show's run, he made three feature films and has another project in the works.

Up until his MTV series debuted, the 30-year-old Knoxville was an unknown actor in Hollywood, having garnered only a few small acting parts in commercials and movies during the past 10 years.

MTV proposed another 22 episodes as late as Thursday night, but Knoxville was not interested.

Telephone messages seeking comment from MTV were not returned by Friday evening.

''We told (MTV) we would do specials down the road,'' Knoxville told the Knoxville News-Sentinel during a telephone interview from his home in Hollywood on Friday. ''But this is enough. We have done enough.''

Many of the major television networks have expressed interest in Knoxville doing a series for them, he said.

However, CBS entertainment president Nancy Tellem said last month during a TV critics meeting in Pasadena, Calif., she wasn't certain if Knoxville would be the right fit for the Tiffany network.

Knoxville says TV network executives asked him to create a ''hybrid reality'' show, though Knoxville could not specify what the executives meant by the term. Knoxville co-created ''Jackass'' with Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze, and the three are partners in their own production company.

If Knoxville makes a return to weekly television, ''it wouldn't be like 'Jackass.' It has been done. All we wanted to do was be as cool as [the song] 'White Man in Hammersmith Palais' by the Clash. We nearly got there.''

While shooting segments for the current crop of episodes, Knoxville was in Paris this past spring and wondering if continuing the show was a good idea.

MTV had nixed several spin-off projects, including a book and a soundtrack.

Controversy certainly cooled MTV's enthusiasm to promote the show. It used to air one episode up to 10 times a week, drawing more than 20 million viewers in total. Since the controversy of copycats, the channel moved the show to a later time slot and pared the airings to only once a week.

The lack of promotion irritated Knoxville and the show's cast and crew.

''It was frustrating for us on one hand,'' he said. ''But, in MTV's defense, it was an extraordinary case of events, and no one really knew what the right move was. I'm sure they would have liked to have done things differently.''

He wanted ''the show to be special. I wanted to quit while it was still special. With this kind of comedy, people become inured to the shock value.''

MTV plans to continue showing all 24 episodes, but they will be heavily edited, Knoxville said. ''The most objectionable things will be taken out,'' he said. ''All the funny things will be gone.''

As the series grew more successful, pranks were not as easy to do, he said.

The public became too familiar with Knoxville and his cast.

''It was a little more difficult,'' he said. ''We got nailed a few times. We still have so many [ideas] of things we wanted to do. I'm not going to tell you what they are because we want to use them in a special.''

As for his post-MTV career, Knoxville is movie bound. ''Big Trouble,'' a comedy in which he co-stars with Tim Allen, hits theaters on Sept. 21. A movie with rapper-actor Ice Cube is being mulled.

He also has a role in ''Men in Black 2,'' playing a two-headed alien. That sequel will be out next summer.

RIP :(

Believe it or not, but I have yet to see this show. I have heard so much about it, but still haven't seen it. I'll try to watch this last episode.

Good riddance (from a Beavis And Butthead, Monty Python, South Park and Ren and Stimpy fan, BTW).

the kidnapping was hilarious. :lol: i love how everyone was just kinda stood there after the van drove off and everyone just pulled out a cel phone and started calling the cops.

No way! :(

Good thing I have all the episodes on VCD. I knew this was going to happen soon.

You have last nights ep on VCD? Where'd you get it?

Too bad, so sad. I just want to see Daria. It's been awhile....

i really enjoyed this show, contrary to what the critics said -
these last couple of episodes with brad pitt have been especially funny.

sad to see it go

well this just sucks ass. :(

:( :( :(

Bring back Beavis and Butthead!

I'm glad he cancelled the show. If this were to go on for another 22 episodes the stunts would get stale and the show would lose a lot of it's appeal. I think he recognized the show thrives off of it's originality and it's much easier to come up with an hour of side-splitting material for an mtv special then to come up with 22 episodes worth of so-so material. :thumbsup:

While I would like to see a few more, the quit while youre ahead theory is best. What baffles me is that all the shows rerun now will be edited? What the Hell? Either respect the damn show for what it is and dont cave in to being offensive by editing it, or just dont show it at all.
