For some reason neither of us understood, my Studly Hubby and I rented Jackass 2 from Netflix and watched it last night. I have never seen the show nor did I see the first movie but I've heard all about it so thought maybe I'd give it a go. It turns out, it was exactly what everyone said it is: a bunch of crazy guys kicking each other in the balls and doing all sorts of other dangerous stuff. I can't believe one of them hasn't died yet. Some of the stunts were actually kind of fun to watch, like all of them trying to do loop-de-loops on tiny motor scooters (one guy actually made it all the way around). Mostly they were just going for a high 'cringe-factor' - something that would make us cringe - like when Steve-o has a leech put on his eyeball. And some of the stunts were AWFUL, crazy things that you can't imagine anyone doing - like getting branded (badly) in the butt and skateboarding/bicycling/rollerskating top-speed into a brick wall and landing on pavement. Some of the stunts were so bad that someone would end up throwing up (once the camera guy threw up). I guess the important thing is that we kept watching it, which is exactly what they were going for.

Jackass 2

I also watched Jackass 2...and as someone who watched the show and the first movie I have to say that this was the WORST thing that they have ever put out. Most of the stuff wasn't that funny. The first movie was great. Chris Pontias has a great scene in it...almost hard to explain but great. I was dissapointed by #2!! Way to keep watching...Kevin didn't make all the way through.
Hmmmm. Maybe we should give the first movie a go. I had heard that the second one wasn't as good also.
When my sister was in high school her locker was next to one of the producers of Jackass, Sean Cliver.
I had heard her tell me that but I wasn't sure it was true so I just looked him up and now I believe it.
I can't watch that stuff. If I was their mother . . . .
