Line 5:
{{quote|''"[[Don't Try This At Home|Neither you nor your dumb little buddies]] [[Captain Obvious|should attempt anything you see on this show]]."''}}
And so begins '''''Jackass''''', which was either the most horrifying thing ever put on American television, the most awesome thing ever put on American television, or just the gayest (in more ways than one) thing ever put on American television. Or all three, [[Your Mileage May Vary|as it depends on who you ask]].
''Jackass'' has its roots in skateboard culture and the skateboard magazine ''Big Brother'', and Bam Margeras's humor/stunt video series ''Camp Kill Yourself'' (or ''[[CKY]]''). One of ''Big Brother'''s writers was struggling actor Johnny Knoxville, who pitched an article for Big Brother about being used as human guinea pig for various self-defense weapons, culminating in him being shot in the chest to test out a bulletproof vest. His editors decided to film the test and found it so funny, that they decided to commission several additional masochist-themed videos with the rest of the staff (including Dave England and Chris Pontius) and ex-Ringling Brothers clown Steve-O contributing material.
