  Jackass (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jackass was a half-hour American television series, originally shown on MTV from 2000 to 2002, in which a group of men perform various dangerous and ridiculous stunts.
The genesis of Jackass dates back to 1999 when struggling-actor-turned-writer Johnny Knoxville birthed the idea to test different self defense devices on himself as the basis for an article.
Since the first episode, Jackass frequently featured warnings and disclaimers noting that the stunts performed were dangerous and should not be imitated, and that recordings of any stunts would not be aired on MTV.

Nesting on the mainland is unusual for jackass penguins because they are ground-nesting birds and are vulnerable to the many predators on the mainland.

 Jackass Flats - Masters Of Complex And Compelling Backwoods Symphonies
The name alone, "Jackass Flats", has the tendency to catch the unsuspecting reader off guard as their music has the ability to catch the unsuspecting listener off guard.
In 2003 Jackass Flats took their local music scene by storm and were awarded Best Bluegrass/Country Band by internet magazine Richmond.com, who called the band "masters of backwoods symphonies".
With the release of their second album Purgatory Mountain in September 2005, the band have fulfilled one of their longtime dreams, to release an album of all original music that reflects their love of bluegrass tradition and their determination to create a sound that is all their own.

 Jackass | PopMatters Television Review
True to its name, Jackass is comprised of idiotic acts, more precisely, videotaped practical jokes, foolish stunts, and unusual behaviors perpetrated by several white male twentysomethings for broadcast on MTV.
Beavis and Butt-head were comically pathetic in their stupidity and, consequently, the show was a highly ironic and self-mocking representation of young men's inexplicable fascination with poo and dead animals, among other things.
Jackass is also self-mocking, however, because (as the show's title implies) its stars are, themselves, the most frequent victims of their twisted, inane experiments.

 SPLICEDwire | "Jackass: The Movie" review (2002) Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville
Strictly for shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool types who find professional wrestling and monster truck shows too sophisticated for their simple-minded tastes, "Jackass: The Movie" is exactly like "Jackass" the stupid-stunts-and-practical-jokes MTV show, except that the swear words aren't bleeped out.
Sure it's funny from time to time watching Johnny Knoxville and his low-watt drinking buddies (a grunting sub-frat-boy bunch sure to be living off welfare in their parents' basements once their 15 minutes of fame is up) as they perform tailgate-surfing-caliber dares on low-grade home video.
The real jackass is any sucker who helps make these idiot daredevils rich by paying $8 or $9 to watch them set off bottle rockets from their butts, give themselves paper cuts on purpose and dance naked up against unfortunate shoppers in Tokyo who are too polite to punch them.

 E3 06: Jackass: The Game Impressions - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
The gameplay in Jackass is all about re-creating the ridiculous and often life-threatening stunts that are the crux of the Jackass TV show experience, and we were shown a few different examples of the 40-plus stunts that Sidhe hopes to include in the final version of the game.
Jackass: The Game isn't just a random selection of minigames, though, and the MTV story mode will give it some structure by putting you in the role of the show's director after Jeff Tremaine, the actual show director and often unwitting straight man to the crew's pranks, becomes incapacitated.
In fact, during the gameplay, a large head-and-shoulders version of the Jackass being played appeared in the lower left corner of the screen, showing cuts and bruises as the stunts progressed.

For example, in the film, one of the "Jackass" guys (there are several dumb, 20-something, typical, idiotic, overaged frat-boys in the "cast) puts a live alligator in his parent's kitchen so he can get his uptight mother to say "fuck" on camera.
In many ways, "Jackass" is an adequate and clear representation of a segment of our society and therefore, in many ways, "Jackass" can be construed as a sociological experiment.
The alligators, sea urchins, whales, and wild cats that appear in the film have their "personal space" invaded by these "Jackasses" and it is, unquestionably, wrong.

"Jackass," as you no doubt know-or, just as likely, don't even want to know-is trash culture's most extreme offspring, an MTV series that consists entirely of the host Johnny Knoxville and his merry band of skate punk-cum-frat boys performing masochistic stunts, the stupider the better.
In the big-screen version of the show, which is little more than a series of unconnected scenes, Knoxville and company do things like walk a tightrope over an alligator pond while tempting the gators with raw chicken stuffed into their jockstraps.
"Jackass: The Movie" includes all of your favorite misfits as they perform some of the most outrageous, painful, and disgusting stunts ever to be caught on camera.
