jackass. this show. this show. idiotic genius. i can't stop watching. i can't stop laughing. |
until he tore that dart out of his chest about 6 inches from the camera....later they blacked it out, but not the first time i saw it. i like the way that it states that they are professionals and you shouldn't do it at home now i really want to wear padded clothes and be pushed in a shopping cart and be flung into the bushes |
|
do they still have sifyl and ollie? |
|
|
at one point one of the guys looks in the camera and says "today i'm going to kick my dad's ass all day" and then there are all these clips of him running up to his dad and beating on him. fucking bizarre. |
|
I liked the guy who's trick it was to swallow a goldfish in a cup of water then vomit it back up into a bowl, alive. Or the guy on the trampoline. The human barbeque was pretty good too. I was hooked with: "Hello, My name is Johnny Knoxville and today I am going to be sprayed by a skunk." I also liked immensely when they were trying out the anti-bark shocking dog collars on themselves. |
Yet, at his shows...all people ever want to see is him swallow fire. No real talent in that. All you do is stick the burning torch into your mouth and burn your tastebuds. (I think that's why he can live as a vegetarian) I think we're attracted to things where we know there's a chance our mortality might be proven... |
besides, his dad looked used to it. he was cracking up and fighting back. whacky. |
if it works, get dumber and better looking people to make a one-hour show out of it, right? i dunno, I'm telly-deprived |
|
goddamn. GODDMANAMAM!@ |
i would if i had cable there some quality, trippy surreal shit on cable access tv babies |
|
I think "Jackass" will get old after a while, like Tom Green, but for now, I find it very amusing and irreverent. I think everything I like about that show can be found in the segment where one of the guys is harassing a small vicious dog through a car windshield. If you haven't seen it, there's no way I can explain how strangely satisfyign and funny that was. I somehow get the idea that J would really really like this show. |

what's there to love? who loves to be spoon fed corporate, meglamush? what does mtv know about music? nada |
|
|
i'm smitten by corporate meglamush. those are real people who produce the crap that mtv plays, and beyond that, some of those real people are actually real musicians. they knowingly produce this music that is easy to digest. music that will sell. add image that is just edgy enough so that parents' don't like it but mtv will let it fly, and you've produced a multimedia cashcow. money. |
|
spare your capitlist sentiment, boy, i don't deny their ingenuity in appealing to drooling, depressed hormone crazed teens and their 20 something counterparts...thats like shooting in a barrell im just amazed anyone can say they love mtv... and honestly kinda kinda saddened by it. i think many people actually believe they play the music they play because it's "good".... |
Except Daria. But that's not enough reason to get the channel. I think there might be one more thing that doesn't depress me, but I can't remember what it is. We don't have cable, and we don't even get shows from the air here underground. The place seems so much smaller now that the Internet went away. That makes me sad too. It will come back sometime this week, I hope. |

I used to watch 120 Minutes in high school. I caught it once this summer and was terribly disappointed. Remember when Comedy Central (or Ha!, as it was once known) showed clips of stand-up, like, all day long? And when Jon Stewart was on Short Attention Span Theatre? I had such a crush on him when I was 12. That was when I lost all my friends and watched that channel to cheer myself up. I'm lucky I got to see Bill Hicks before he died. Mario Cantone, how i love thee! |
i ADMIT to being suckered in when i happen to be in front of a tv with it on...but it's nothing i would ever ever profess my love for |
I remember religiously taping the Headbanger's Ball, praying they'd play some Iron Maiden videos... |
blow me |
Hell...this is a comedy program all in itself!!!!! lol :o)~ |
