Disgusting, ridiculous, stupid, over-the-top, outrageous, moronic, hilarious, and incredibly dangerous. All of these words easily describe the stunts that the Jackass gang do on a regular basis. They are one of the originators (if not the originators), of the stupid and dangerous stunt genre, if there is such a thing. At least, there have certainly been a lot of copycats over the years (and countless spin-offs), so is the formula stale?
In short, no. I may not be a ravenous fan of the show, it's spin-offs, or the movie adaptations, but I definitely enjoyed myself. And honestly, was I left with any gaping plot-holes because I never saw the second movie? Probably not. It doesn't take much to be entertained by Johnny Knoxville and his crew's particular brand of lunacy.
