Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but I swear from the moment we first blued-up Wee-Man for the Big Brother shit video in 1995, Jeff Tremaine was hell bent for Wonka on stuffing him into an Oompa Loompa costume. Five years later his wish came true. This was, however, not something entirely done for jackass, as it occurred within the “tweener” stage of Tremaine’s involvement with Big Brother magazine and the show—right around the time MTV was mulling over the idea of giving these idiots money to film a pilot presentation in early 2000—and primarily focused on Wee-Man’s pro spotlight interview/photo spreads. Jeff wisely banked some Oompa Loompa video footage, though, knowing full well he’d be able to put it to good use when the time was right.

Whoa, who are all these fresh-faced pups? This was an interesting night on jackass the movie, as Johnny Knoxville wanted nothing whatsoever to do with “Cube Truck Roller Disco.” Maybe he had a bad disco experience as a kid, I don’t know, but the one thing I do know is that he had a really bad karaoke experience with a Wham! song that I only wish we could post the laughable recording of here on jackassworld. Anyway, the rest of the cast was not so lucky in their ability to opt out on this shoot, but they still put on their best ’70s face and went for it in style. In the end it was Bam who figured out that the quickest and most direct route from beginning to end of filming was to simply whore yourself out to physics. One vertical face-plant into the roll-down door and that was all she wrote on this 60-seconds of cinematic history. Bonus trivia: I believe the added danger of bowling balls was originally written into this bit, but then some rocket scientist figured out that all to be gained from including those in the chaotic mix would be broken ankles and other indiscriminate blunt force traumas.
