Unpopular Opinion: MTV's Jackass has always been cringe as hell.

Never thought it was funny. Not even once. Used to watch that garbage in middle school. Had to watch it so I could keep up with the conversation. Everyone was watching it back then. I never once laughed at it though, fellas. It wasn't ever funny. Couldn't for the life of me understand why I was supposed to have a hearty chuckle at a bunch of self-hating retards doing stupid **** and having completely predictable results. What's funny about that? Huh?"Oh, ride down a steep hill in a shopping cart, what could go wrong?" "Hey! Sledgehammer to the balls, that'll be funny, right?" "Dur, lets pierce our buttcheeks together just for laughs dude!"None of it was ever funny. Not the show, not the movies, none of it. And the outcomes were always so incredibly predictable. I don't know where the humor was supposed to be. And now they're all a bunch of old geezers still acting like fools. Its pathetic. It really is. Always has been. And you boys know what the most annoying part is? Had to be all the kids who imitated those junkies hoping to garner a bit of attention to help soothe their deep-rooted feelings of rampant inadequacy. So many losers started intentionally harming themselves after coming to the realization that self-hatred could be utilized to attract an audience. Resulted in a whole generation of buffoons.

All of the Jackass stuff, and anything similar to Jackass, is crap that isn't funny. Wasn't ever funny and will never be funny. Those who enjoy that **** are intellectually deficient and should have a pineapple shoved up their ass because they'll think its funny anyway, so why not.

Agreed. I grew up when Jackass first came out. Me and my friends skated and they loved that Jackass stuff... I always found it annoying and cringe other than only a small handful of stuff that was actually funny.

I always bailed out on seeing it in theaters and all my friends knew if they played that prank sh!t on me IRL they'd get hooked in the gabber m8.

Gen X, Jackass is just how boys grew up. So it was a reminder of dumb chit we did when we have less brains and even less of a sense of fear. Not really as funny as just generally entertaining.

I used to enjoy making lists growing up (probably an autist trait). I would write down as many cast members as I could think of, for no reason. I want to see if still got it:

Steveo
Chris Pontius
Johnnie Knoxville
Raab himself
Rake yahn
Brandon dicamilio
Dave England
Preston Lacey
Bam Margera
Ryan Dunn
Weeman
Danger Aaron
???(Novaks?)
???camera man Rackley. Think his name was Mike Rackley

You forgot Sam-O, he acted like a bitch when they played pranks on him so most of his scenes got cut

I agree. I always felt the same way about Star Wars. I watched to be part of the conversation but I never "got it" and now realize how right I was.

i went with a friend that was part of our group of friends at school to see the first movie...he was cracking up the entire time and i was bored out of my mind...on that day i realized he was only a friend in the group setting...our senses of what was funny just didn't line up.

Lost all respect for Jonny Knoxville when he had to quit dancing with the stars because he had a sore back.

He could basically jump from a sky scraper and laugh it off but cant ball room dance?

That scene where Johhny got hit by the bull, for the last movie, it wasn't even funny at that point, it also seriously ****ed him up.

I liked it early on, but the older they got, the less I wanted to see them do idiotic things.

Because they don't have anything to prove anymore. They gave us plenty of amazing memories from when they were young and dumb.

It's kind of like when your favorite WWE wrestler continues doing it, longer than they should.
