''[[Viva La Bam]]'' is one of the [[Spin-Off|SpinOffs]] to the MTV show ''[[Jackass]]'', focusing on cast member Bam Margera. Instead of focusing on stunts like ''Jackass'' did, ''Viva La Bam'' focused more on Bam's general antics and shenanigans in his hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania with his crew Ryan Dunn, Chris "Raab Himself" Raab, Brandon "Dico" DiCamillo and Rake Yohn. Others include Bam's dad Phil, his mom April A.K.A. "Ape" and his uncle Don Vito. Although it didn't focus much on stunts, it still had the standard [[Don't Try This At Home]] disclaimer before each show asking viewers not to try the stunts showed in the program.
 
The show lasted for 5 seasons from 2003-2005, technically lasting longer than ''Jackass'' itself. Most of the episodes had some kind of theme or challenge that the cast members (usually Bam and his crew) had to accomplish these through stunts, pranks, or assistance from Bam's associates who make appearances throughout the show's run. [[The Other Wiki]] says that although a good deal of the show was improvised, it was supported by a greater degree of planning and organization. Either way, when Bam and his crew get going, [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity is soon to follow]].

* [[Angrish]]: Don Vito.
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: For the most part, April's usually against the shenanigans of Bam and his crew, but occasionally she'll lighten up and enjoy herself, especially when Vito's getting humiliated. It's made clear she doesn't like him.
