I think I said almost that exact same statement to a friend yesterday!

This show is the best argument for abortion I've ever seen.
A lot less idiots in the world would be an extremely good thing.

I don't watch it but I do think it's great to have around for the reason you stated. One of the dumbass kids who tried to imitate a stunt said he "kind of blamed the show" for his injuries. I just wish the parents of one of these kids would say "well, I hate to see him in pain but he's always been an idiot, maybe this will teach him a lesson!" This reminds me of when I was a kid and Superman the movie was popular. Some idiot child tried to fly out of a 10 story window and died. I was only 7 at the time but I didn't need anyone to tell me that you can't f'in fly!!!

First of all, I hate Jackass, I think it's moronic and panders to the basest instinct. Take it off the air.... but Superman is another story..... I mean, how old was this kid that tried to fly? When I saw Superman, I was only around 8 and me and my friends would tie towels around our necks, pretend they were capes and fly around the room. I wouldn't have jumped out of a 10-storey window but that's 'cuz I was scared of heights. What I mean is, kids don't know the difference between reality and TV like adults do..... it should be the adult's job to make sure the kid doesn't do something stupid. I'm assuming, of course, that the kid was around 7 or something. If he was a teenager, then yes, he wasn't exactly smart...

i love the show, but more for the pranks than the stunts. Like last week when Stevo went "bobbing for jellyfish"... that was just dumb.

But also hillarious.

Yes, yes it was.

what is the deal with jackass ?

what is it ?

Stupid people doing stupid things. And it's hilarious!

It's about the best show on TV!

Johnny Knoxville videos used to be passed around the web way before the show ever came on to TV, so you still might find some if you don't get the show where you're at.

Basically, people doing stupid/dangerous things, getting hurt on purpose, goofy stunts, etc.. For example, here's what happened in a video I'd downloaded a couple years ago of JK:

He gets maced to see what happens
He gets tazered to see what happens
He shoots himself (while wearing a bullet proof vest) point blank with a 9mm to see what happens

I don't watch the show but it's great to have around because stupid kids mimic stunts and badly injure themselves. As a fellow dvdtalk member said it's "Darwinism at it's finest!"

A friend of mine thinks this is the best show on TV. I have yet to see it, but I am trying to remember. I always find myself engulfed in a movie on Sunday nights though...

Can you say VCR?

Sorry but I never miss an opportunity to pat myself on the back!

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

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!

What's JACKASS all about ?> gratuitous barfing

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.
