Approximately three years ago—not to this very damn day but very damn close to it—we were all huddled up around a conference table in our new production offices kicking around ideas for jackass number two. During one of these “creative” sessions, which generally consisted of guarding your nuts and having to suffer through Jeff Tremaine’s ass of fire, we somehow stumbled upon the “Puppet Show” idea after mulling over some spins on the basic “glory hole” concept. No less than three weeks later we were all gathered in a hotel conference room to film this very thing and, as you can see here, everyone was very fresh-faced and eager to get it on (seven months later, of course, it looked as if they had all gone to hell and back, but so it goes in Hollywood).

When Return of the King came out in 2003, I remember sitting in the theater not really wanting the Lord of the Rings trilogy to come to an end. Then again, I don’t exactly think Peter Jackson did either. On no less than three occasions toward the seeming end of the film did it appear to be over with the credits about to scroll when all of a sudden it would lurch forward with yet another chapter. I’m beginning to get a similar feel here and now with these daily “Where Are They Now” posts, but this will all wrap up tomorrow with the final installment of parts 17 and 18. So for now, know the end is near. No, not that end. We still have a good couple years, I think, before Armageddon sets in and we get to watch via Pay Per View as the Big Bearded White Dude and The Devil Himself duke it out once and for all at Madison Square Gardens (sponsored by Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and IBM, the official sponsors of The Last Days on Earth). Get ready to ruuuuuuumble!

Generally speaking, I abhor holiday traditions. The two that I hold in greatest disdain are Halloween and New Years, both of which bring out a moderate stress response level in me. Make no mistake: I love Halloween and everything All Hallow’s Eve stands for, but I could really do without the great expectations in the costuming department. Very rarely do I go hog-wild in this pursuit—the last time having done so back in 2001 when I gothically geared up as Damien Echols—as I’d much prefer to sit at home in the dark and listen to a Glenn Danzig marathon of Misfits and Samhain with just a dash or two of the first Danzig release and Danzig II: Lucyfudge.

I don’t know about any of you all, but I don’t particularly plan on leaving the house today. It is, as my son calls it, a “jammy day.” So if you’re currently holed up and looking for more sloth-like ways of frittering away the moments that make up this dog day, look no further than this shot of Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville. Longtime patrons of jackassworld should be well familiar with these “interactive” photos of the day, where you are given full creative license to cram the blanks of their hypothetical conversation with whatever goofy or ticklish shit you would like them to say. Have fun! (more…)

And so today, as a global collective, we step boldly, if not forcibly (and perhaps even shakily), into 2009, thus concluding our controversial “Top 10″ posts for the nonce. Depending how hard and fast you may have rung your New year’s bell last night, you may not be feeling so well today. In sympathy, we are proud to present this gutsy tribute to all the stomachs (and livers) who fought the good fight but lost nonetheless. Alcohol can be a many splendored thing, but I’ll be damned if the technicolor payback isn’t an unparalleled thing of beauty as well. Now let ‘er rip! (more…)

This news shot and link to a massive sewage spill in Mianus was sent to us from our old MTV tech guy, Wes. If it were still Christmas I would say this was the best present ever, but now, standing on the brink of 2009 and loving Mianus more than ever before, I will simply take it as a sign that this could indeed be an absurdly good year.

Is it just me, or is it just a wee bit odd to post up something titled “where are they now” three years after the now happened? Perhaps it would’ve been more prudent to re-title the feature “where they were then” or something to the past-tense effect. Regardless, there’s no sense belaboring the how and why of then and there when we’re already balls deep into this online presentation, so step into our time machine for another parceled out trip back to 2005, prior to the wrinkles, grays, extra chins, and pale pink spare tires, and relive the days of the cast’s lives prior to the second cinematic coming of jackass in 2006.

Unfortunately, due to family obligations of a more responsible nature, I will not be burning down my inner house tonight in celebration of the coming new year, but I am guessing most everyone else out there in the world will be partying like it’s 1999. Only it’s not. Remember all that “Y2K” hullabaloo? What a hoot that was. An anti-climactic hoot, yes, but I can still only imagine what a rockin’ time it was for movie scripts, computer sales, and members of the Montana Militia. But don’t worry. Doomsday will be back in style come 2011 and it will surely be the apocalyptic party theme du jour as the Mayan calendar closes up shop on humanity. In the meantime, we’ve got three long years of laughs ahead of us, so live it the fuck up! Accordingly, here’s a playlist consisting of some of our favorite wasted occasions throughout the years (or at least the ones caught on film). And, should old acquaintances* be forgotten once again, let’s just chalk it up to the janitorial effects of alcohol—out with the old brain cells and in with the new. Happy New Year, everybody!

So it comes as little surprise to me that on the day I am scheduled to pull a Kurt Russell and escape from Wisconsin I should wake up with a minor case of writer’s constipation. So what better to do than talk about the weather? (more…)

So here we go. From the peanuts of the poop to the cream of the crap, these are the Top 10 most viewed videos of 2008 (or close enough for the purposes of horseshoes, hand grenades, and half-ass vegetarianism). To savor the moment, I’ll first walk you through the list of jackassworld exclusives in bottom-to-top fashion, then you can knock back the other two Top 10 jackass and Wildboyz specific playlists for a chaser.
