A reality show about a group of stunt men & extreme sport enthusists with high thresholds of pain.

Despite good ratings, the show only lasted two years.

Brad Pitt was "abducted" by the Jackass crew on the series finale.

Prior to Jackass airing on MTV, the crew was given an opportunity from Saturday Night Live to perform their stunts on a weekly basis. They declined, but Knoxville would host the show in 2005.

A lot of Steve-O's stunts were censored by MTV due them being too extreme. But they were eventually added on to DVD under the name "Don't Try This at Home: The Steve-O Video."

As soon as the show took off, Johnny Knoxville sprained his ankle after attempting a stunt to jump over the LA river while on roller skates. He had to wear an ankle brace and use crutches for the entire first season of the show.

Ehren McGhehey had a lot of stunts but they were turned down by the crew because they were deemed "stupid and unfunny".

Preston Lacy, Ehren McGhehey and Dave England are the only members of Jackass that weren't seen in Big Brother magazine or CKY videos. However, Dave England was in a snowboarding magazine that worked in conjunction with Big Brother.

Before Jackass, there was a skateboarding magazine called Big Brother. Jackass director, Jeff Tremaine was a former editor and most of the guys who would soon be in Jackass were featured in the magazine such as Bam Margera (who was also making CKY videos), Chris Pontius, Steve-O, and Wee Man. One day, Johnny Knoxville came to Big Brother to do an article on self-defense equipment which Tremaine agreed to publish and also told Johnny to film it for Big Brother's video line. After the video went out, television producers saw the video and gave Knoxville his own show. Jeff Tremaine helped get the show with the help of his close friend Spike Jonze who is a film and television producer. After many visits from different channels and a bid war with Comedy Central, MTV picked upped the series.

Most of the episodes from the first season are clips taken from Big Brother magazine's video line and Bam Margera's CKY videos.

The show was originally going to be called assholes, but MTV strongly advised not to do that. Hense, the naming of the show "Jackass"

The Rocket Skates skit from "Jackass The Movie" was originally going to be in the Jackass show. However, due to MTV rejecting it, the skit was put in the movie.

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.

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.

Conjuril

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.

"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.

"Jacka--" is, without a doubt, the funniest show ever created! I love the crap jokes. My friends and I talk about this show all the time. This show is better than the Tom Green show (Which people think Jack--- resembles). Mtv, whatever you do, do NOT cancel this show. This is the funniest show ever made!

Rating: A+

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

Apparently, for not liking this, i'm "uptight", "humourless" and "a drag". Well, i probably am! It takes a lot to make me laugh, and this..this is trash. I have certain standards when it comes to comedy:If it's offensive, please let it have a point to make, (and even then, i remain dubious of it's worth) If someone is humilliated, it is not funny. If someone is in pain, it is not funny. I actually believe that, without the majority of today's "humour", the world would be a much more efficient place. "Jackass" is a waste of space, a show made made idiots, for idiots. It actually made me want to scream at the t.v to stop, because i saw so many young minds being polluted by this filth. Read a book, don't watch this. If you are a fan, my personal opinion is that you should really question yourself:How on earth can watching stupidity be funny? Please, i beg of you, never watch this show.

I don't care what people say about this show. I get irritated when people say this show is stupid and why would someone do that. How about who cares. Its there show and they can do what they want. I love the show and i own the box set and the movie they made in 2002. My favorites on the show are Bam, Dunn, Dico, Steve-O and Chris. WeeMan is adorable. I just really love this show. If they can get paid for acting stupid let them. I really enjoy the most of it. Some looks gross and painful. The ones where they dive off into the water look fun and i would do it.Most fans of this show are guys. I am a girl and I like it. I have several friends that are girls and like it. I would give this show 10/10.

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. Good!

Justie

This reality television series is just painful to try to watch. Every episode is just a bunch of juvenile idiots performing a bunch of crude and insanely wild stunts. Some of the stunts honestly had me gagging and about to throw up because they were just so disgusting. This show is most definitely not for the weak stomached! Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville, and Chris Pontius are all clearly certifiable in this TV show ????. And I DO NOT think this show is funny at all, it's really just difficult to watch and get through an episode. I will say this, Steve-O was kinda sexy in his speedo, I will give the show that, but that's really the ONLY part of Jackass I enjoyed, the rest is just stupid, gross, cringe worthy stunts and pranks performed by this crazy group of men. 2/10 for Jackass, because of the speedo party boy segment, only reason I didn't give it a 1/10.

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.

To the guys who make the show-- watching people puke is not funny, punching your dad is not funny, ramming shopping carts into bushes with people inside is not funny, drowning yourself in feces is not funny! Come on guys, you are showing how ignorant and unoriginal you can truly be. The majority of this show is idiots trying to hurt themselves by trying to ski down grassy hills, getting into shopping carts and having someone run them into things, skateboarding into things, etc...how is seeing people almost killing themselves like idiots funny? How is humping the back of a shark funny? How is seeing that nasty Steve guy naked funny? Amazingly, there are some funny parts of this show. For example, when the guy is tied up in the trunk, and he jumps out in public and runs down the street, that's funny. When the guy dressed up like the devil and said he was misunderstood and the stuff said about him was a bunch of lies, that was funny. As far as I can tell, this idiot, Johnny Knoxville is the main guy on the show, and nearly EVERYTHING he does is moronic and stupid, and it can only be funny to people who have approximately three brain cells left in their head from all the pot they have smoked. If you want my opinion, there are very few funny parts to this show, and the majority of it is a bunch of ignorant morons proving that they are just that.

Maybe because I was a kid and kids tend to find everything funny. Well, I wasn't like that but Jackass was a show I really used to like. Looking back now, it is horrible. These guys are jackasses indeed. Those stunts they are doing are insane, and not in the good way either.

If I remember correctly, there is a warning at the beginning of the episodes to not perform these stunts in real life. Actually, even with that warning on, there are people who tries to replicate the stuff seen on Jackass because "they are cool" and "awesome". Those stupid stunts can cost their lives but I think they don't even care.

The point is, this show is just bad. I don't watch it anymore. In fact I can't figure out what I liked about this show back then. As always, I respect people's opinions, if they like it, enjoy - I can't stand it.

"Jackass" is a pretty pointless series full of idiotic stunts, but I am not denying that they are very amusing, even though they are possibly exaggerated... awfully.

Younger audiences should watch this series, as it can provide some pretty cheap entertainment, but it depends on your sense of humor. Other people may think it is just a complete waste of time. 5/10

The only reason i gave two stars is because of occasional laughs i've had while watching Jackass and guests stars like Brad Pitt.

In my opinion, it is senseless to discuss the qualities of the show, especially when my most memorable moment was late Ryan Dunn in swim trunks diving into a cesspool wearing goggles and snorkel. Although i'm not sure whether he had flippers on, this episode catapulted him to world fame.

The show motivated people to repeat the stunts, or even invent their own, despite warnings not to do so. On the one hand, this obviously means that Jackass fulfilled its mission. On the other hand, it showed to the viewers that it is legit to do anything to become famous, even if that means doing harm to yourself in front of a camera.

It is strange to see what we people use as entertainment in these days. This tv show is completely stupid and really offensive to some people. I thought it was really fun the first times I saw it,but after a few episodes it starts to get boring.And the episodes are really not that different.

Querlaca

What can i say about the programme Jackass, .. its like it started a cult that worshiped the stupid and no point stunts that made people addicted to this programme such as me!!. Johnny Knoxville the ring leader, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Ryan "almost" Dunn, Brandon Dicamillo etc the characters in the programme made the show a complete success.

I do not think that this programme was as good as the CKY series in which BAM stared in but it was really a great programme. I don't have much else to say realli cant think of anything at this time but a rating must be given for the show

9/10 cya

Ferri - My name

The TV show "Jackass" proves that you can make a show without highly paid joke writers, fancy sets, and big shot celebrities that is still laugh-your-ass off hilarious. This show rocks! Whether it's urban kayaking, poo diving, cup testing, whatever, this show is PURE GENIUS! 10/10!

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

There is nothing subtle or classy about Jackass.There is one particular target audience it caters for:silly people.And people with a silly sense of humour.Players Club members should probably steer clear of this.But,in appealling to the lowest common denominator.......it works.The sheer spectacle of watching people who quite clearly have some kind of serious common sense problem make utter,well,JACKASSES of themselves is worked to considerably funny effect here.Truly deranged stuff,and all the better for it.***

Tall

What can I say JACKASS is just damn hilarious, some people, like say my parents may find it down right stupid and well, they're probably not wrong but its still really funny and a cool programme and if people like entertaining people by doing stupid and down right painful things then its up to them.... Johnny Knoxville is the best he may not be the best of actors like Elijah wood!!! But I admire him just as much as I think Elijah wood is cute and that's a lot, anyway Knoxville is my idol I think he's really cool for doing all that stuff, and the other guys on the show too. I don't know if I should call him brave because he doesn't have to do this stuff, then again does that mean he is.... forget that, not brave like say Dave Pelzer (a child called it), but another kind. Well, apart from F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Buffy JACKASS comes next in my favourite programmes list!!!!!!!!

In the grand tradition of idiocy such as BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD, some people need to be warned as to the content featured on the show. But, Mtv's JACKASS is a different kind of show. No storylines, no actors, no sets, you know... none of that. Instead, you have an amazingly simple plot: young people performing daring and grotesque stunts in order to shock viewers. And they'll try anything to freak you out, make you sick, and have you laughing as hard as you can.

Here's where the different outlook comes in. As unbelievable as what these people on the show seem to be doing, anyone can be stupid. These JACKASSes aren't shocking - they're just plain moronic. Their antics rarely have me rolling in the aisles (spare 1 exception: testing the athletic supporter). Their humor is only based on how outrageous a thing they are doing. But, what if they can't think of anything else crazy to do? What happens when they can't top the dumb things they used to do? That's when the show goes off the air, right? One can only hope.

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

Orll

Jackass is one of the most awesome film I've ever watch.I'll never forget when Chris Raab bungee's from a tree with his wedgie,that was the most stupid,yet hilarious thing I've ever seen in my entire life!Even though some out there tries to call jackass a waste of lot of time,they just can't deny it and watch it for the second time,how pathetic!Jackass was third to the most favorite MTV show here,and all I can say is *two thumbs up*I hope Johnny and his gang do more of that crazy stunts and I wish they do what the old man said in the last part of Jackass the movie,to make another episode called Son of Jackass.For that I give jackass a 10/10 stars.JACKASS ROCKS!

`Jacka - -` tells the tale of a group of friends who, as seen in a recent episode when one guy was shown several years ago getting flour thrown in his head, for years have been doing insane pranks to one another and doing their own kind of extreme stunts and games. Well, thanks to the geniuses over at MTV and what is no doubt a multi million dollar contract, we get to watch these guys do what ever it is they do to each other every week. It all started with the first episode, in which the star of the show and/or leader Johnny Knoxville tested three personal security devices on himself, pepper spray, a stun gun and a tazor. Needless to say it was the day the Three Stooges got a run for their money. But maybe saying that doesn't fit in, because anything the Stooges did was fake and scripted, what the fellows at Jacka - - do is real, and painful, and hysterical. When Johnny was hit with the two projectile darts from the tazor and electrocuted to a certain extent, `poo' almost exited my body due to the fact I was laughing extremely hard. Dozens of stunts later, they keep getting better and more funny. The current king would have to be Steve-O, as he got his bunghole pierced together. You owe it to yourself to watch this show at least once, it's a bunch of today's youth doing what we all do best, having fun in a way most grownups don't want to understand.

I love this show! I am so glad that MTV is finally presenting a show that is too hilarious for words and is head and shoulders above that awful Tom Green show. Some people think that "Jackass" and "The Tom Green Show" are very much alike, but I think it's important for me to explain in this comment why that is not true. There are several things that make it better than Tom Green. First of all, Johnny Knoxville has a very nice body, but Tom Green's could make a straight woman gay. Secondly, the comedy on "Jackass" is not (usually) made at the expense of other people, but that's all that Tom Green's act: embarrassing and angrying other people...and that's not funny. But that is not what "Jackass" does. The guys on that show do things to themselves to get laughs; they don't have to degrade other people to make themselves look funny. They are funny and I think what they're doing is pretty cool. It's not very safe ;D, but it's pretty cool.
