Jackass (DVD)

Synopsis

Strikingly similar to the lingering stench of an abused port-a-potty left to bake in the hot summer sun, it's the sorry excuse for a television show that simply refuses to give up the ghost. This four-disc DVD box set is about as definitive as it's ever gonna get. Volumes 1-3 are crammed full of all the absurd and random nonsense that comprised the questionable genetic makeup of the Jackass television series - courtesy of its "stars" Johnny Knoxville, Bam Mangera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Wee Man, Ryan Dunn, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Ehren McGhehey - and captivated the whimsical minds of television critics everywhere. There's also over 5 hours of never-before-released footage on DVD, an obligatory bonus disc containing a large chunk of the collateral damage left behind in the wake of Jackass, and a full-color 48-page book filled with further behind-the-scenes inanities. And no, that ringing noise you hear is not the soothing tones of cash registers. It is, in fact, the heraldic signaling of the coming apocalypse. So grab a drink, pull on a diaper, and wet yourself silly in front of the TV for a few hours, because there really is no sense in saving dolphins or rocking the vote when the end of the world is nigh.
