It's all in how you view it. First of all, I rarely, if ever laugh at AFV, and even less so at videos in which people get hurt. I just don't, as previously stated, find that sort of stuff funny. And even if I did, the stigmas of the two shows would be totally different. Jackass derives itself from the basis of staged stupidity. I don't enjoy that. Basically, for me, it comes across as "lol, like me because I can hurt myself". Nthnx. AFV, however, though often staged, is not of the same calibur of idiocy. It's not so much the stunts that they pull which bother me; it's the mindset of the players of the game, so to speak. It just makes me want to punch them all in the face.

Oh, so you're advocating pre-meditated assualt rather than harmless pranks between willing participants?

Any high moral ground you were trying to take just collapsed from underneath you.

Better me than some tazer, alligator, shopping cart, rocket, king cobra, shotgun, or what not.

What sense of morality was I advocating again? I just don't like bad comedy. So if by typing "taking a high moral ground", you actually meant "disliking rancid compost", then yes, we're on the same wavelength here.

"Rancid compost" sounds like a good idea for a Jackass skit...

LOL OMG this was worse, that scene with three 6 mofia and other with the horse was the worst i ever seen lol.. but dam i'd go again.

Haha... It's true Bam is pretty much a jerk to everyone else, especially his parents.

I just bought the DVD of the first Jackass movie, and there was a ticket inside to go see Number Two in the theaters for free. Awesome. Now I'm definitely going to see it again.

Is it going to play in the theaters in Australia at all?

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

thats where i was disappointed. i know its jackass and not viva-la bam, but I was hoping to see more of phil and april, and maybe some don vito. i know he was in the trailer, but i guess he'll be in one of the days worth of extra footage like they had in the first movies dvd

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

They were actually going to have a few scenes with Don Vito, but they took them out because Don Vito got arrested in Colorado for touching some little girls like two months before the movie was released. From what I've been reading, however, those scenes will be on the DVD instead.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I saw it again last night, it was still just as good. I noticed things I didn't notice before, though.

I also found this video online (from the show), which made me laugh for like ten minutes because it was such a dumb idea...

I don't have a problem with it, I do have a problem with paying out my hard-earned money to see it, which is why I won't

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

i actually met bam at a skate board demo and he isn't a bad guy.

yea i guess for those who dont watch jackass or vivalabam they wouldn't know what the movie is about, but they love doing stupid stuff like that.

as with animals, have u ever watched wild boys? with steve-o, they have animal people on site, and mtv wouldn't want to get in legal trouble so there is no danger.

just remember it is all good fun.

"All you guys who have a problem with the movie just think... These guys are getting paid to do this stuff..."

How is that at all relevant to my distaste for the movie?

It makes you feel angry because they're getting to paid millions to do stuff that you hate or something. I dunno...

What would Don Vito say?

"He's got no tiddly just joogle. You can't just goat duggle with a hammer and nail and hammer something and expect it to grow! Blegat you've got these idiots sitting hernwhaga ehhhm just sitting glawhahwaglahhh. Nobody knows what they're doing! I'm gettin' the hell out of here. You're not making any sense. I don't know how you deal with these Vulcan idiots. I'm leaving."

Having seen one or two episodes of the show...well, I must say; if some dude's willing to lock himself in a Porto-potty and turn it upside down, he deserves SOME sort of financial reparation.

don vito is insane.. which is what makes him funny...

Altho I will say, some of the wild boys scenes are very educational, Not all of them tho

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

SO, of course I had to see the move! Dang how funny and stupid at the same time.. I got super grossed out at one part, and im sure most of you can guess that, not a good relevant topic for this website though! Its just good humored fun for those who like to have a good time! It wouldnt have become a popular get up if people didn't watch the show on mtv! Some people are just too uptight and cant sit back, relax and enjoy someone elses' stupidity for an hour and a half! point in case.

not a good relevant topic for this website though

thats why they made the recover room, for general talk about anything.

but that is a major problem with this world now, everybodies to darn worried about what everybody else will think or say. i say who cares. and if people dont like what they are doing, or what you do, dont watch it or listen. unless it involves something illegal, then complain.

couldn't have said it better monkey boy!

With unlimited freedom of speech, however, comes the potential for its abuse. On most of the online forums I've seen that are not moderated, most of the posts are just like "omg ur so gay" and stuff like that.

I have no problem with intelligent debates on subjects like religion, politics, ethics, etc., it's just that it always seems some idiot comes along and ruins the privilege of free speech for everyone.

Free speech in movies/TV is fine, primarily because the actual process of actually getting something into the mass media prevents those online idiots from ruining anything, and therefore most of that information is relavent (in theory).

Also, when it comes to those "excessively violent" video games (also relates to free speech somewhat) that all those parents complain about, I say it is 100% the parents' responsibility to keep their kids away from them if they don't want the kids to play them. Stores won't sell them to kids under 17 (and they do indeed check IDs), so if someone's kid gets ahold of one of those games, that means the parent isn't paying close enough attention to what their kid is doing.

That rant was longer than I expected.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I havent seen the movie Jackass, but have seen some of AFVs and honestly, some of them have made me barf. Specially the one which is about this really fat girl using a slimming belt. The belt which was obviously not built properly emits an electrical charge when she connects it to an electrical outlet and her whole body goes into spasm. Her bro is playing ball next to her and doesnt bother to help her. Obviously, it was just plain disgusting.

Ok, so she was fat, ok, so she was also stupid and gullible enough to buy one of those slimming belts, but the funny part ended there. I dont see what's funny about watching somebody get electrocuted on tape.

I have to agree, I can put up with the grossest possible comedy, but please dont give me people in shopping carts and on skateboards crashing themselves into things.

yes, that whole issue with games comes down to parents thinking for themselfs and not using games/tv/radio to raise their kids.

but yes, always comes down to 1 fool to ruin the whole thing.

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

Prior to me being 18 and legal and all that good stuff, I procured a wealth of M rated games--and over the counter, too. It's not really fair to blame the parents entirely; kids will be kids and find a way to play such games regardless of what amount of adult supervision, except maybe of that caomparable to a prsion guard, which would make said indivdual a horrible parent, anyways.

your right, part of the blame for what you particularly did is the stores for selling it to you and not carding you. and actualy no, if the parent raises the kid right, they wont have to worry about the kid sneeking and doing that behind their backs. once i hit about 13, my parents let me do what I wanted, because they knew i wouldnt disrepect them in anyway at all, including playing games i shouldnt be.

myself, i was raised to do what my parents said and respect their rights and i got what i deserved. if my parents said something i listend and did it. but that was me and we're all different.

my favorite news article on that topic, was the grandmother (obviously of age) purchased GTA San Andreas (I believe was rated mature at first) for her 11 yr old grandson. ok first mistake that she blamed on the makers. then the kid hacked the game with the patch which made the game x-rated. 2nd mistake, one for the kid, who by his own will broke the law for altering the content, wether it was in there or not, he changed what he normally wouldnt have seen. and i know this for true, i have played this game to the fullest. basicly problem there, after all that mess, she ends up sueing rockstar games.... such crap. but again another example of people pushing their own problems on another and not being responsible for their own actions.

ok sorry for the rant lol.. but sometimes we all slip

This is true for me, but my brother was raised the same as I was and he was sure a rebel...

That is when the parents fall back on a good backhand.

Jackass: Number Two just came out on DVD in the US. I was going to buy it the day it came out (the 26th), but I was too washed. So then I tried to buy it this afternoon, and it was all sold out everywhere I went. The stores only had the R-rated version in stock, if they had any at all.

As a last resort, I had to go to Blockbuster and rent it for like five bucks, which is way more than renting a movie should cost. None of the stores will have it in stock again until Friday, so I'll have to buy it then.

It's totally worth it though.

We just saw a WHOLE BUNCH at Target.. want me to mail you one??

---

"it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

Heh... The Target here was all cleaned out. Not just Jackass 2, but any other new release that was worth seeing. Pretty much the only DVDs they had left were crappy movies like The Break Up.

Also, they didn't really have any food left either.

---

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

NOthing like being prepared for the holiday's, eh? If you still have a problem getting it in a few days, PM your address and I'll mail you one. I checked, they are not the R rated version.

---

"it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

I just rented the unrated version. Oh its crazy. I havent got threw everything on it. But so far still nothing with don vito

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

Yeah, I didn't see any Don Vito on it either. I found this on Wikipedia though: "The Don Vito scenes are not on the DVD version, presumably due to his arrest. Rake Yohn said that they'll be on the DVD".

Apparently they are making a sort of Jackass 2.5 (which is going to be direct-to-DVD), because Johnny Knoxville couldn't stop doing stuff and filming it. Hopefully the Don Vito clips will be on there instead. I know that some of the Don Vito footage can be seen on YouTube and the like, but I think there's more that hasn't been released.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

yea me too. even tho he was accused of what did what he did (i dont know, i'm not following it. lets still see his stuff from the movie

speaking of jackass, I hear they finally released jackass volume one. i gotta get that one

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

I thought all the show DVDs have been out for a while now... I rented Volume One a couple months ago (I don't know how long it had been out though). One thing I didn't like about it was how the skits were not organized by episode. It was all combined, sort of like the movies (but much longer, therefore making it difficult to navigate).

Back to the movies, though, I found this bit of info on TMZ.com: "The studio was also so thrilled with the huge success of "Jackass Number Two" -- which took in $51.5 million in its first two weeks of release -- that they have greenlighted "Jackass Three" and are speeding up production on that release". Holy crap, that would be amazing. Jackass: Number Two was so good though, I don't know if they could top it. I hope they at least try, however.

---

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

they did just release one. i'm just slow gettign to it.. but yes. i wish they would have release them in episode order. not like they did.


part 3? oh gesh, i can only imagin how bad this is going to be. i just hope bam doesnt get an idea to do a viva la bam movie. but now steve-o and Pontius do a movie for Wild Boyz, that may be interesting as that show, even tho is stupid in many ways, actually does provide some education within it.
