MTV Jackass: Vol. 1

Moments of pure genius interspersed with the usual idiocy in no.2, just before the complete decline into parody and farce of no.3....sad to see they fall apart at the seams.

worth buying not renting for sure

P>...Jackass creative masterminds of Johnny Knoxville and company are really just one step below carnvial geeks... The crew of Jackass, which includes independant film darling Spike Jonze (real name Adam Speigal), just turn the cameras on and act as idiotic as humanly possible. Between the so-called stunts there are a few comedy bits, all of which seemed like they were ripped off from other sources. Namely from the Howard Stern Show, The Man Show and the U.K.s Trigger Happy TV... When bits are conceived by the Man Show or Stern theres a creative process that goes on behind the scenes. One thing that Howard Stern has always strived for is originality...Then its no longer original or creative. Its just stupidity. Worse, its not even funny!! Between the stunts and the comedy sketches the viewer is also treated to vast doses of Whoa dude!, Hey man! and other so-called hip lingo. I didnt know what was harder to take, the idiotic stunts or the inane prattle... P.T. Barnum once said Theres a sucker born every minute. The difference between someone like Barnum is that when he swindled you at least his machinations were brilliantly concieved and well planned. Jackass is neither. It is offensive and an insult to call this piece trash comedy. It is neither entertaining or funny. Its just plain stupid.

Good stuff

i dont care what this guy says JACKASS RULES THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!! STICK THAT IN UR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!!!!!!!!

Okay, not only is this DVD lacking some of the better skits (any of the CKY stuff with Bam and Phil, the egg-eating contest, etc) they included some of the lamer skits like the metallic suit, beard of leeches, and Gumball 2000. Seriously lacking and lets not mention the edited scenes, this DVD was promised to show what MTV wouldnt allow on air. The only skit I hadnt seen on MTV was the omelette, or should I say Vomelette. All in all, still entertaining, but a real big let-down for this Jackass fan. Buy the CKY box set instead!

this is a goody video buy it today the stick it in ur dvd player your wildest dreams will come true!!!!!

I don’t care for the very first seasons. Not enough of Phil and April. Plus the technology just isn’t there yet and the recording sucks.

If youre not a fan of Jackass already, then chances are, this is definitely NOT going to make you like the concept any better. Its stupid humor, its skateboarding and other stunts, its candid camera jokes -- and someone like myself,well, Im surprised that I love it as much as I do. Overall, if you want to buy only ONE of the DVDs, I would suggest Vol. 2, but Vol. 3 is great too. Some highlights on the DVDs include Bam going after his dad (repeatedly), Antiquing, Dave England and The Omelette, Jai Alai,and Fat F*ck 2. As a fan, I couldnt be happier, but I JUST WISH THAT THE DVDS WERE NOT CENSORED.

love love love this show! comedy gold!!
