...to explain the attraction, the humor of "JackAss".
Slapstick.
People getting hurt is funny.

It makes more sense in german.
I am afraid that I cannot explain it, I can only say there are few things that make me laugh the way that stupid shit does and that particular laughter causes people who know me to worry.
I think it's a Three Stooges Phenomenon thing.
I'm of the belief that Johnny Knoxville has become invincible owing to the fact that JackAss is intricately tied to clandestine projects and experiments to manifest invulnerability.
And if not, he's still indestructible.

Ive seen some backstage stuff that suggests that hes fairly battered after all the shit hes done.
But thats nothing compared to steve-o.
Steve-O should be in a lab somewhere being studied after all the shit he survived.

The bungee port-o-let was the nastiest thing I have ever had the mispleasure to see little parts of.
Steve-O is insane.

Im talking about his drug abuse and later rehab.
He should not have survived the substances he put in his body.
Not to mention years of hardcore alcoholism.

He has Ozzy Syndrome. He may well survive almost anything.
I'm man I understand it.
It's not really funny though.

Holy shit. He wasnt even knocked down.
I dunno. I find it funny. Am not man. Grosser than gross sometimes, yeah...but totally fucking hilarious, too.
If you're gonna be dumb, you'd better be tough.

These two statements are utterly contradictory, therefore one of them must be false.
I know which horse I'm betting on. :lulz:
also...
STEVE-O FUCKING JUMPED OFF A BOAT INTO A CHUM SLICK IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING PACK OF GREAT WHITE SHARKS. YOUR LIFE FEELS INSIGNIFICANT AND WORTHLESS NOW.
STEVE-O AND TRAVIS PASTRANA SHOULD MAKE ASSBABIES. THEY WOULD BE LIKE A COMBINATION OF EVIL KNIEVEL AND ACHILLES.

Oh I agree, there are parts that crack me up, and some of the tamer stuff I would or have even done (yes i was a complete idiot when I was young) but some/a lot of it I sit with my eyes squeezed shut and my hands over my ears going la la la la la la la.

That's the whole appeal - it's a fusion of LOL and OMG. As a guy who frequently does dangerous shit for fun, one of the first things you do when you've just about been killed is laugh your ass off. Watching other people do it isn't quite as good but it's still good.
I do have to wonder how much a man would have to get paid to get voluntarily hit in the junk with that frequency.
