In retrospect, these guys were just the early 2000s progenitors of the modern day "just a prank bro" youtube influencer shitbags.
>>218598613No, that was Tom Green.
>>218598613kinda, Bam Margera and his crew were the proto-youtubers but Knoxville is more from old Hollywood
didn't know jackass was known for pranks. maybe world's best known pranking tv show would be better choice
They didn't really "prank" others than members of the crew. In public their sketches were more like performance art than pranks.
Hidden camera shows were already a thing before Jackass
>>218598613Great job anon youre the very first person to draw this link.
>>218598613The crucial difference is that the Jackass crew was likeable (except Bam I suppose) and they pulled actual pranks on the public instead of assaulting them.
This is objectively wrong because you cant name a single group of modern day pranksters as entertaining or likeable as the og jackass crew
>>218598613I strongly disagree. It's good natured old school white boy shit where they harm no one but themselves and typically just make a spectacle when in public.
>>218598613>what was candid camera
>>218598964Liberals are DEMONS. Repent now or face the wrath of God. He sent his messenger with Trump and you still won't listen!
>>218598640yeah, more tom green than anything. that and the remy guy from france on youtube. he's probably even more responsible.
>When everyone can make prank content, no one can.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah9xy4SqnWw
>>218601835they support castrating children, so yes they are demonic. you just want free shit and are jealous someone else's dad worked instead of whatever nightmare you grew up with
>>218598613Not really, they didnt harass random people
>Remembering all those ITS JUST A PRANK videos from the mid 2010s Those were seriously the worst fucking times to be alive. VitalyzdTv rotting away in prison is a fitting end to all that shit
>>218598829
>>218602059i always thought voting and defending pedos was pretty demonic myself but what do i know!>inb4 she replies with something about biden
>>218598613the only times they acted like absolute pricks was to each otherthe public pranks were usually really good natured and the ones that weren't were clearly pre-approved/stagedthere's a reason everyone's favorite Jackass bit is Night Pandashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPqCjZShgNo
>>218602134>From April 2025 to January 2026, Zdorovetskiy was detained by the Philippine government over criminal charges of unjust vexation>Unjust Vexation>Unjust vexation is a criminal offense under the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines. It is a form of "light coercion" involving an act by a person which causes annoyance or irritation of another.sounds really easy for authorities to selectively enforce/abuse but imagine if being an annoying cunt in public was illegal everywhere
>>218598964They did, but not that often. I remember them street fishing, where they put a turd in a dollar, put it on a fishing rod and dangled it around in parking lots to try 'catch' people.
>>218601987>the remy guy from france on youtubeYeah he was probably the first one, pretty funny stuff
>>218601835Im not an American tho (thank God)
I'll never forget the feeling of watching Knoxville bring the destroyed car back to the dealership. So cozy. I still quote "well I ain't" to this day
>>218598613so deep bro. stfu faggot, most of their stuff was self inflicted. kys
>>218598640Tom Green walked so Eric Andre could run
>>218598964>>218602383They did the one where they wreck the rental car, but that thing is probably insured out the ass and they got knoxvile's info (or they can report it to the police if he faked it which would be a felony) the worst one hitting "normal" people outside the group was probably when eran took a shit in that plumbing store, imagine having to clean that up that's disgusting.but yeah 80% of their pranks they kept in the group and the rest done to the public were pretty tame, which is good
I think you need to come from a sheltered upbringing to have this "just a prank bro" mentality. Try that prank in a rough area and the result will not be comedic. It's only rich kids who do this stuff.
>>218603835Even though Jackass was presented as an anarchic show, the MTV had an army of lawyers to make sure everything goes by the book.
>>218601987Remy Gaillard was probably inspired by Michael Youn, who had a morning show in french tv where he would do insane pranks, like waking up a neighborhood with a megaphone or having a car chase with copshttps://youtu.be/rUZrWFDUKB8
>>218604021Also makes you wonder how much is actually real. The early days was probably pretty "real". But what's stopping them from having a bunch of runners/assistances charge in after they film the real reaction and clean up.Listening to Knoxvile on Rogan he talks about some of the stunts in the later movies are planned literally months in advance
>>218604104Definitely it became more corporate and every move more calculated as their success grew. Had they continued the TV series longer it would have resembled more and more like Viva la Bam with its heavily scripted episodes, I guess.
>>218598613yeah man, we all know that
