Ever since I got rid of my $100 a month cable service my life has improved somewhat. I watch less “drek“ and more free quality TV through my rabbit ear antenna. Besides the great shit on PBS, every Sunday night I am treated to the Fox animation lineup, which includes The Simpsons and my favorite, Family Guy. This particular premiere episode was a jackass parody for the entire first act! What the fuck! They’ve done parodies before, like when Stew-O beat up his dad ala Bam, but this was the storyline of the show. They even did the “clipper cam” bit which is quite close to my heart. An air of pride and accomplishment filled my studio apartment as Mat Hoffman, Jason Searcy, and Shelton inhaled some of that air. Thanks Seth MacFarlane! Why don’t you go ahead and send me a signed cel of that clipper cam shot there, pal? The one that ends the act (you know what I’m talking about, the one where Peter gets buzzed when he’s down). Oh yeah! Let’s make that happen. —Dimitry Elyashkevich
Since we just started getting all the Gumball Rally footage into the editing box earlier this week, the chances of you web potatoes actually seeing any footage any time soon is low. Lower than Wolfie winning a medal in Beijing, unless it’s going to be at the paralympics. But here is a slideshow of some of our trip. All these photos were shot on film and then cross-processed. It’s a gimmicky technique, but still looks better than digital. Expect some moving pictures soon…but not too soon, so suck it.
To this day, Ehren swears that he knew the whole thing was a prank. Well, give the man a goddamn Academy award! He ate pubes! Ehren you are an idiot! But an American nonetheless. Our thoughts go out to all the families that 9/11 has affected. Peace.
(This special video presentation of “Terror Taxi – Behind the Scenes” was brought to you courtesy of the extra-features section on the jackass 2.5 DVD, which can be purchased for 1,999 pennies from our storefront operation here.)
This shit is sick.
Herro everybody! I’m finally back from another wacky Gumball Rally. This time Ryan Dunn, Bam Margera, Loomis Fall, and myself went from San Francisco to the Olympics in Beijing, China! Oh yeah, and we stopped over in Pyongyang, North Korea! What a time we had! For the next five days here on the site, we will be posting the 2001 jackass gumball rally special, featuring Steve-O and Chris Pontius barreling through Russia with their cocks out. We’d show you the new footage, but you’ll have to wait a bit…the thing is we’re broke here at jackassworld and can’t afford another hard drive to transfer all the wacky Gumball madness—not to worry, Wolfie has assured me that a big-ass hard drive is on its way! So until we’re able to show you the new shit, look for that good old classic shit. Oh yeah, that’s not a typo: that’s NORTH Korea!
…and Ryan Dunn.
Recently, the magazine NME had a little awards show here in Los Angeles. Our friends at The Virginia City Revival received two invites to attend the event. Unfortunately, there are seven band members and the event fell on a rehearsal night. What to do, you may ask? Might as well rehearse while dropping off lead singer Reverend Jose Deville and guitar dudette Gabby Godhead right in front of the awards. Look out for The Virginia City Revival rolling up your street in the middle of the night, rockin’ hard and offering salvation from sleep for all.
Just when you thought you saw the last clip from the 24-hour takeover, I settle into my office and start digging for little nuggets of NY gold. This particular nugget is pickled and can sing most of the lyrics to Roger Alan Wade’s “D-R-U-N-K.” By the way, I have carried Wee Man’s body out of bars before and it sucks. He’s one heavy midget.
A couple of years ago I did a TV show with Cameron Diaz called Trippin’. It was on a trip to Nepal and Bhutan where I met Reggie Noble, known to most as Redman. Of course we bro’d down right away and ended up getting drunk on a three dollar bottle of vodka we bought in the streets of Kathmandu. Later that year he left a message on my phone, “Yo Meetree, this is Reg, happy holidays, nigga.” See, the thing is that Dave Carnie was supposed to write something for the accompanying video here. I don’t know if he did or not, but I know Josh can’t find anything. I guess Carnie was supposed to write something introducing Chris Nieratko to the jackassworld community. First of all, we know that no one reads any of this shit. Second of all, the more I write the less chance this has of being read at all. Third of all, everyone knows who Chris Nieratko is, right? Well, this will be an interesting experiment. Why don’t you weirdos argue about who Chris Nieratko is and where he came from. Just go ahead and post those witty comments below. I’ll even help you guys out a bit. He’s the white guy in the chicken suit. —Dimitry Elyashkevich
Two lost souls wander the streets of New York City desperately searching for their knight in yellow armor. Dave England and Chris Pontius’s performance rivals that of Bam Margera, Preston Lacy, and Ehren McGhehey earlier the same night. This tragic tale reminds us that if you wanna get a taxi in NYC you should probably pull up your pants or hump less trash.
