a new year’s day top 10 video wrap-up

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…)

a top 10 video countdown to new year’s eve

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!

I first met Dave England somewhere around 1996, back when the original Dickhouse corporation picked up Blunt snowboard magazine from Ken Block. But to know Dave is to one day meet his drunken alter-ego Darf. On paper the name “Darf” looks like something fun to hang out with, kind of like a Muppet you would be happy to sit down alongside and share a drink with at a bar in the alleyway just off Sesame Street, but I can assure you he’s really not anything of the sort.

the top 10 least viewed photos of the day

Since we’re now past Christmas and closing in fast on the new year, let’s pause to reflect upon the year that was: the hits, the misses, and all the other goofy shit betwixt. That said, we’ll be posting up a number of “Top 10″ lists in our countdown to 2009. To kick this extraganza off, here’s the “top 10 least viewed photos of the day” on jackassworld, starting with number 10: (more…)

For those of you that currently own the jackass television series DVD box set that was released in 2005, feel free to run off and get that box now, pull out the special features disc, pop that circular fucker into the DVD player, ignore all of that MTV promotional bullshit, go straight to the menu, select the “Where Are They Now?” featurette, and sit back to watch it in its entirety. For the rest of you deprived souls who do not own the box set, well, don’t look now but here’s your chance to view that special feature online in its entire (albeit segmented) form—18 of them, to be precise, at a rate of two per day for the next nine days.

Now I don’t know about you (well, actually some of you I do know about and I know you’re going to vehemently disagree with me), but I think this is one of Danger Ehren’s best appearances on jackass. “But why,” you say, “it’s not even the real Ehren!” (more…)

photo of the day – dave england

Y’all have heard that hooey about a picture being worth a thousand words, but some can be summed up in far less, I believe. This particular stunt of Dave England’s was only worth a couple hundred bucks in the first place, so why expend any further amount of energy than necessary? So one conjoined word will descriptively suffice: Shitmouth.
