I don't think anything will ever beat the steve-o ceiling fan stunt for me, it's just so stupidly absurd.

Is there a way to view this youtube video without creating an account?


Hmm, not sure but if you search for "steve-o ceiling fan" you should find it pretty quick.


I have an account and it's age-gating me.

No youtube, you can't have my driving license...


Ryan getting immediately hit without even saying a word makes me laugh every single time.


The end when Bam is losing it with Acuña on the chair had me rolling. Wish Bam was in a better place :(


I knew he had issues with alcohol from way back, but I looked up to see what you meant. Wow indeed, that's so incredibly sad. That he harbors such a disdain towards his old friends and all is what kills me.


Usually I absolutely abhor prank stuff, but this one was alright hehe


This type of prank would be rotten except these guys are happily in a prank war by agreement. Like when good friends mock each other, it's mutual and funny for both sides.

I always think the required point of a prank should be all people involved are laughing almost immediately after. Otherwise it's just being nasty to people.


The genius of Jackass is that the joke is always on them. When the public is involved they are there as participants to witness something insane. The butt of the joke is always one of the crew.

They don’t punch down, they punch each other.


This one demonstrates a key aspect too: after the prank ends, they're laughing together.

I think that was the biggest difference between Jackass and everything after. Most of the copycats just felt mean, because they didn't have the comradery.


I haven't laughed that hard since I saw that 5 years ago


Jesus that was way better than I thought it was going to be.


Great, not I have an irrational fear of chairs in hallways.
