00:00Hello, we're the cast of Jackass, and we're about to answer the most searched questions about our dumb movies.
00:13What was Johnny Knoxville's worst injury?
00:16I've had some silly ones, like breaking my penis and the blowout fracture of my eye,
00:23but I think it would be the concussions that are going to be the one that catches up.
00:28But you did break a motorcycle handlebar with your taint.
00:32Yeah, yeah, that was pretty impressive.
00:34Seriously, if I had to take one of your injuries, I would take the concussions over the splitting my urethra
00:39and open with a motorcycle handlebar.
00:42Well, you can have my concussions in.
00:45What is Stevo's most painful injury?
00:49Absolutely third-degree burns.
00:51I had skin graft surgery.
00:52Oh, God, that was fucking terrible.
00:54Yeah, and then you went on tour immediately.
00:56That was the one you did to you, not the one we did to you.
00:59Right, I did that on my own time.
01:01Yeah.
01:01I didn't learn the first three.
01:02You got a little call from me a couple days later.
01:05Yeah.
01:06How many different cadaver skin did you have grafted to you?
01:08I had the flesh of seven different dead people grafted onto 15% of my body.
01:14Does Johnny Knoxville still skate-
01:18Oh, man.
01:19Still.
01:20Still.
01:21Does anyone have a skateboard?
01:22We can prove it.
01:23Yeah, let's-
01:24Only on Tuesdays.
01:25I never skateboarded unless we needed some footage.
01:28Slams, like destructive slams.
01:29You skateboarded twice.
01:30There isn't that.
01:30Once on a headrail and once on a front rail.
01:32No, I remember during the TV show, I'm like, oh, I'm going to start skating now.
01:35And I'd skate out in front of the office and I just never caught on.
01:39What was the jackass warning disclaimer?
01:43Warning.
01:43The stunts you're about to see were performed by professionals and under the supervision
01:48of professionals.
01:49As such, the producers and MTV must insist that you not try any of this at home.
01:55Everything I think was great except for the as such, but I think that was awesome, Steve-
01:59And dumb little buddy.
02:00Good job.
02:00Is jackass real or staged?
02:03God, I wish it was staged.
02:04Sometimes I wish it was.
02:06I think that's where we do have credit.
02:08Everyone knows it's real.
02:10When did jackass first premiere?
02:12October 1st, 2000.
02:14Wow.
02:15TV show.
02:15Who created jackass?
02:18Was it me?
02:18Well, it's a group effort, but I think the creators would be me, Jeff, and Spike.
02:24How many episodes were in jackass season one?
02:27Eight.
02:29Eight.
02:29Eight.
02:29In each of the three seasons, there was eight episodes for a total of 24.
02:32Plus two specials.
02:34Yeah.
02:34Yep, Gumball Rally.
02:35Which jackass cast member suffered the worst injuries?
02:39Poopies.
02:40Poopies.
02:41Yeah.
02:41Poopies got his hand and wrist bitten by a shark with multiple arteries and tendons completely
02:49severed.
02:50And who knew that they could do surgery to reattach severed arteries?
02:55And also, who would have thought that sharks would bite you when you chum the waters and
02:59then water ski into them?
03:01That was under the supervision of professionals.
03:04Don't forget.
03:05That came out of left field.
03:06That was the single worst injury we had.
03:08What safety gear does the jackass cast use?
03:11There have been some cups.
03:12Yeah, lots of cups.
03:13Whiskey, Adderall.
03:17Did Aaron McGee break his neck?
03:20According to him, he did.
03:21Yeah.
03:2213 times.
03:24No.
03:24Three.
03:25No.
03:25According to our medic, it's a little foggy.
03:29On filming Jackass.
03:30According to science?
03:31No, I broke it the first time on Jackass.
03:34Depends if you believe x-rays.
03:35When Jeff...
03:38You guys are dicks.
03:40Move on.
03:41What was Dave England's most dangerous stunt?
03:44Sticking my hand blindly through a hole and severing my tendon in Zachass' butthole.
03:49I actually was pretty scared putting my hand through there, but...
03:51Terrifying.
03:52On a butthole?
03:53I still don't understand how that happened, but it really did.
03:55I had to have my tendon reattached to my fingertip.
03:58I had to cut my finger wide open.
03:59Crazy.
04:00How did Jeff Tremain meet Johnny Knoxville?
04:03It was on the set of a video Spike Jones was directing with Jake Fogelnest for the band Wax.
04:10Loomis Falls, the drummer, our guy Loomis.
04:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:13And you didn't make the cut, but I did.
04:15No, because I had to go wait tables at this restaurant, and I missed being in it.
04:21And I was like, oh no, I'm never going to be in show business.
04:23What year was that, you think?
04:25Well, it was the day of the Oklahoma City bombing, unfortunately.
04:28But I remember that happened on that day, so...
04:321995.
04:33Who were the new cast members in Jackass Forever?
04:36Poopies, Zach, Rachel, Jasper, and Eric Menaka.
04:40Yes.
04:41Did Aaron McGee really lose a tune?
04:44Well, that depends if you ask Aaron or science.
04:47No, I will tell you right now.
04:49I didn't lose it, it's at home.
04:51But I did knock it out the first time with Dave.
04:54I knocked it out, you didn't knock it out.
04:55Doing tandem bike jumping.
04:57Yeah, I elbowed him in the mouth while we were riding a tandem bike off of a jump.
05:01And then he got it fixed.
05:03And then a couple years later, we had a head-on collision on many motorcycles in a grocery store.
05:08Knocked the same one out.
05:09Knocked the same tooth out with my shoulder.
05:11And then you got the other one pulled out by a Lamborghini.
05:13Yeah, and then we pulled the one next to it out because it was a little crooked.
05:16It broke my face to my eye.
05:17Always, it's always got to be...
05:19I didn't anticipate such a long answer.
05:22Yeah, Dave said it.
05:23What Shark Tank stunt did Steve-O do?
05:27What the...
05:27What was that?
05:28Shark Tank Stunt.
05:30I don't remember.
05:31What does that mean?
05:32Yeah.
05:32No.
05:33How did Johnny Knoxville get famous?
05:36By doing really stupid shit.
05:39Yep.
05:40What was Dave England's grossest stunt, Dave?
05:42I mean, I'm going to have to say the vomlet.
05:44Vomlet.
05:44Yeah, the vomlet for sure.
05:46Yeah.
05:46I took all the ingredients to an omelet raw, ate them,
05:49and then puked them back up into a frying pan, cooked them up, and ate them again.
05:53I did it twice.
05:53The first time I fed some to Steve-O, and he rudely puked it back up onto my foot.
05:58Yeah.
05:59That didn't get seen because it was too dangerous.
06:01It was the summer in Florida, I think, and it was so hot outside.
06:04We had the air conditioning off in the room.
06:05It just made the puke and the omelet smell so much worse.
06:08Who was injured the most on Jackass?
06:13According to Danger Aaron.
06:19I don't know.
06:20I've been injured a lot.
06:22How many concussions has Jackass had?
06:25Now we're a single sentient being.
06:29That reminds me of when we got a Man of the Year award for GQ,
06:34but as all of us, we're all the Man of the Year.
06:36I was actually on the, I got the cover of Traumatic Brain Injury Weekly.
06:41Wait, seriously?
06:42Yeah.
06:43I didn't even know that that existed.
06:46And I don't know if that was the exact title, but it was something like that.
06:49What was the picture on the cover?
06:52What made Jackass 3D different?
06:55I can answer that.
06:563D.
06:57Yep.
06:57Oh.
06:58Wow.
06:59Just nailing it.
06:59We're playing 3D chess right there.
07:01Who is going to be in Jackass 2026?
07:05Us.
07:06Just about everyone.
07:07One W. Lair.
07:08Justin Bieber.
07:10Our latest and last cast member, Humanoid Robot, One W. Lair,
07:14and Paul Walter Hauser, and comedian Adam Ray.
07:17Adam Ray.
07:17We passed the torch to a robot.
07:19Who is the first female Jackass cast member?
07:23That would be Stephanie Hodge.
07:24Stephanie Hodge.
07:25What stunt helped Johnny Knoxville create Jackass?
07:30You shot yourself with a gun.
07:32He wore a bulletproof vest, drove out to the desert,
07:35and shot himself point blank, and the footage came back,
07:39and that was definitely the birth of Jackass.
07:41What award did Jeff Tremaine receive?
07:44Biggest dick of the year from 2001 to 2026.
07:49Biggest dick of the year.
07:50Landslide.
07:51Well deserved.
07:53What is the best Jackass movie for new viewers?
07:57Oh, well, I think that's easy.
07:59Jackass Best and Last.
08:00Oh.
08:01Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:04Which Jackass members have kids?
08:06I do.
08:07Dave.
08:09Aaron.
08:10Chris.
08:10I think that's the funniest.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Anyone else?
08:13I think that's right.
08:14Dark shark.
08:15How did the Jackass crew meet at the methadone clinic?
08:20I met Knoxville for the first time on December 30th of 1999.
08:24This man is amazing with dates.
08:26Where did you and I meet?
08:27You and I met in person in January of 1999.
08:30Florida tour.
08:30I met you in 95, you in 97, you in like 97 or 8, you in 2000, you in 2000.
08:37Technically, we met in January of 2001.
08:40That was the first time that the Jackass cast was all in one place.
08:45Yeah.
08:45How many seasons of the Jackass series were there?
08:48Three.
08:48Season two and season three were technically just one season.
08:52One of those.
08:53Technically speaking.
08:54But we always think of it as three seasons of eight episodes.
08:57We only made 24 episodes of Jackass before we quit.
09:01And then it became a movie franchise.
09:02And I re-watched them for, you know, we're doing the Jackass podcast and we made 24 episodes.
09:07And I would say about 21 are pretty good.
09:12Excuse me.
09:13Oh, Dave.
09:15Oh, Dave.
09:17What network aired Jackass?
09:20Music, television.
09:22MTV.
09:22How did the Jackass crew start?
09:24I'd say that we all started in our own rights, individually.
09:28Yeah.
09:29A hundred percent.
09:30Who filmed the original Jackass TV series?
09:33That would be Rick Kostic, Demetri Esklovich.
09:36Michael Ballard.
09:37Walt.
09:38Nate.
09:38Yeah, Nate for sure.
09:38Mike Ballard for sure.
09:41Who was shooting for Ben?
09:42Yeah, we filmed each other sometimes.
09:44Yeah, we filmed ourselves.
09:45Danielle shot some things.
09:46Joe Franz.
09:47So many people.
09:48Who were the original members of Jackass?
09:50I mean, it was a very democratic process.
09:52There was never like an assignment.
09:55It was just open to everybody in our orbit.
09:58And those who showed the motivation and the enthusiasm and the creativity just kind of gelled.
10:04There was a lot.
10:06What circus skills does Steve-O have?
10:09Not tightrope walking.
10:12Shockingly.
10:12Like, I was so stunned that that was an impossible feat for you.
10:16I've got a new circus skill.
10:18Sort of juggling ping pong balls.
10:21Oh, yeah.
10:22Yes.
10:22We've learned that one.
10:23You're not even going to believe my new ping pong ball trick in the new movie.
10:26And he is available for bar mitzvahs.
10:28How did Preston Lacey join Jackass?
10:32Preston, I met through you.
10:33He was working for your first life.
10:35Yeah, we met through beautiful Jason.
10:37Yeah, the guy who tased you, right?
10:40Yeah, I tased.
10:40You told me to meet Jeff, and we went and filmed with Guar, the band Guar.
10:44And the first bit you ever had was when you peed your pants, right?
10:47No, FDA challenge.
10:49Oh, okay.
10:49The Christmas thing is what really...
10:51The eggnog?
10:52The eggnog.
10:52Got my place in the show here.
10:54What tattoo stunt did Steve-O do?
10:56There were multiple ones, but only one do I regret more than anything ever.
11:01Henry Rolland?
11:02No.
11:04Oh, the bait...
11:05Yeah, next question.
11:06Oh, which famous director produced Jackass?
11:11Jeff Tremaine.
11:13Yeah.
11:14What is the Jackass theme song?
11:16Well, it's Minutemen Corona, but if you want to be dumb, you got to be tough.
11:19It's almost, like, surpassed that for our theme song.
11:23How many times was Johnny Knoxville hit by a bull?
11:26Because I was hit by the bull so many times, I have barely any recollection.
11:31There was a bull for Big Brother.
11:32You rode a bull.
11:33Yeah, that was a half-ass hit.
11:35Bullfighting for dollars.
11:36I rode two for...
11:37Bullfighting for dollars.
11:38Then, uh, the Mr. Mean.
11:40Oh, the Mr. Mean.
11:41Toro Totter.
11:43Toro Totter, big time.
11:44Then I was, uh...
11:45Bullfighting for dollars.
11:46I did a bullfighting thing in the first or second and didn't make it.
11:51I had Invisible Man.
11:52Magic Trick.
11:54Nitro, you got flipped by a bull.
11:56Dudeson's, too, maybe.
11:57Did you get hit on that day?
11:59I don't remember.
11:59Sure, it has to be me.
12:00I think he did.
12:02Sure.
12:03I don't know.
12:04I don't know.
12:04It's a lot.
12:05I think it's at least ten.
12:06Also, when we did the opener for Jackass 2, he got in the house.
12:10He just kept going, let's do it again.
12:11Let's do it again.
12:12Let's do it again.
12:13That was gnar, because you got stomped out of the window.
12:16You did it so many times.
12:17Yeah, I wanted to look right.
12:19Did Steve-O get a vasectomy?
12:21You bet I did.
12:22I had that idea for a long, long time.
12:24It was called the Vasectomy Olympics.
12:27Did you ride a horse bareback right afterwards?
12:29I did.
12:30Did you let a bunch of little kids kick you in the nuts right afterwards?
12:33I dressed up as a piñata, got hung upside down, and the little kids whacked me in the
12:37dick with a stick.
12:38Was that just to make sure the vasectomy worked?
12:40Well, that was just to make sure that I would have a...
12:42Swollen testicles.
12:44Your testicles look swollen anyway.
12:46You got a pretty good set on you.
12:48Thanks.
12:49Yeah, they looked like a plum when I was done with the vasectomy Olympics.
12:53Why is Jackass rated R?
12:55Chris Pontius.
12:56Penis and butthole.
12:59When did Jackass return with a fourth movie?
13:0312 years after three.
13:04We started, the test was in 2019.
13:07Yeah, and then we started filming in the COVID hit, and so we had to shut down production.
13:13So we started in 2020, in the spring of 2020, and then started shooting again in the fall
13:18of 2020.
13:19October.
13:20Which Jackass movie is the best?
13:22I think we all agree.
13:23Whoa.
13:24We already said it.
13:25Number two.
13:26No, no, no, no.
13:27Oh, sorry.
13:28Jackass.
13:29The new one literally says best.
13:30It says best, yeah, yeah.
13:31What skate brand was associated with Jackass?
13:35Strange Love.
13:37Strange Love, for sure.
13:38Back in the day, Element.
13:39DVS.
13:39Because they had a road for the Element.
13:41DVS, yeah.
13:42That's you.
13:42Girl.
13:43Girls.
13:43Because Spike on Girl.
13:44XYZ.
13:45XYZ, I was going to say.
13:47What celebrity cameos did Jackass have?
13:50Brad Pitt.
13:50Brad Pitt.
13:51In the new movie.
13:52Rip Taylor.
13:53Rip Taylor, for sure.
13:54The Miami Dolphins guy.
13:55The Miami Dolphins guy.
13:57Jason Taylor.
13:57Football guys.
13:58P.K. Subban.
13:59Yeah, he was great.
14:01Francis Ngannou.
14:03Paul Walter-Houser.
14:03Francis Ngannou.
14:04Thank you very much.
14:06Jared Allen.
14:07Why is Jackass so beloved?
14:10Friendship, I think, is what sets us apart.
14:12Brotherhood.
14:13Family.
14:13And really dumb shit.
14:15Another reason Jackass is beloved is because everybody wants to slow down to look at carnage
14:21when there's an accident.
14:22So it follows that by deliberately creating accidents, which are permissible for people
14:28to enjoy, that it would be beloved.
14:30Yeah.
14:31What celebrity did Jackass kidnap?
14:34Brad Pitt in the new movie.
14:36Who picked the music for Jackass?
14:38I think everyone, you know, will suggest things, the cast and everything.
14:42But Jeff and I picked most of it.
14:43But I think everyone over time has suggested music for it.
14:46For sure.
14:47Well, there you have it, folks.
14:48That was the 50 most searched questions about Jackass for Wired.
14:55Wow.
14:56What a pro.
14:56Here you go, everybody.
