Jackass - The Complete

Jackass is very probably the most perfectly named programme in the history of television. The cult MTV hit is the sort of exceedingly stupid thing that can only be the work of clever people; in this case, a collection of old-enough-to-know-better delinquents who appear to have taken the wisdom about the dumbing-down of popular culture as a challenge. The difference between Jackass and most dumb things on television is that other dumb things on television like to pretend that they're arch, or clever, or at the very least camp. Jackass makes no such pretensions, and for this reason it is incredibly liberating and funny.

There is no subtext to any of this. Johnny Knoxville and company think of something supremely idiotic to do, and do it. We see them riding down hills on ice blocks, inviting a fire crew to turn their hoses on them, and trying to ride bicycles around a 360-degree wooden loop while dressed as chickens. That only one cast member ends up hospitalised is little short of miraculous, and surely proof that God loves his clowns. --Andrew Mueller

Only problem being the lack of the first series but i hear that is on its way soon. I also think a few more special features like never seen before stunts from the series (as i know there are some) and maybe some of the original stuff by Johnny Knoxville in the BigBrother magazines.

Still a great buy for such a cheap price!

Damn, this is the funniest thing I have seen since Blazing Saddles. Good old fasioned slapstick humour (with added poo and vomit). Buy it NOW!. Anybody who doesn't find this funny is either dead or had a humour transplant

"What do I get?!" I hear you cry. In this boxset you get "The Jackass Movie" as well as 2 dvd's of series 2 and 3. This boxset does NOT include series one (unfortunatly). Buying this boxset means you get the jackass movie and so much more fun from the two series dvds.
The only dissapointing thing I found about this boxset is that the series dvds have "bleeps" for swear words and blank out nudity. This takes away a bit of the fun but they are still entertaining. Don't worry Dave England's "Omelette" and "antiquing" are on these series.
The movie, if you've seen it is just a cringing, disgusting but HIGHLY entertaining movie. Great to put on with your mates at a gathering to see who can bare certain stunts like "Papercuts"! The dvd has many special features include cut scenes and music videos.
Definetly a bargain for what you get. A shame series one isn't included!
