the origin of the depends party

Yesterday on jackassworld live, we had a very special treat for you: DEPENDS PARTY 2.0! A bunch of grown men sitting around in adult diapers pissing themselves.

I, however, did not participate. I have already done that. A number of times. I was, in fact, the first one to do it. Let me be clear: The Depends Party was not my idea—Jeff Tremaine is the author of this peculiar form of celebration—I just happened to be the one to make the first Depends Party happen.

Way back in 1995, we decided to drive across the country and do an East Coast road trip. Somewhere near the beginning of it, Jeff mentioned his idea about having a Depends Party. I thought it was brilliant, but every time I tried to make it happen, someone poo-pooed (no pun intended) the idea. “Let’s go bar instead.” “Me rather go skating.” “I make masturbate on porno.” (We were so retarded, we talked like cavemen on that trip.) The resistance was understandable. Go enjoy some cocktails, or sit around in your own piss? Not a difficult choice to make.

But by the time we got to Florida, the tour was coming to an end and I was starting to worry it wasn’t going to happen. So on the last night of the tour in Tampa, I said, “Fuck this, we’re doing it tonight.” I don’t actually remember what I said because I was pretty much blacked out that entire trip. But I do remember going to the grocery store by myself and getting some adult diapers and a 12-pack. When I got back, everyone put a pair on.

We’ve since had two Depends Olympics. The first one appeared in the Big Brother video crap. The second has never before been seen, but will be unleashed at bigbrotherskateboarding.com.
