On this, the auspicious 10th anniversary of jackass , this deluxe hardbound photo book will celebrate and commemorate this iconic crew for lasting so long in the “here-today-gone-tomorrow” world of entertainment pop culture. The book will not only span the 10 years of jackass , but will also include the Big Brother magazine days that came before and ultimately gave birth to the franchise on MTV, as well as a few of the other entertainment projects between, i.e. Viva La Bam , Wildboyz , and Nitro Circus .
Reaching deep into the archives, the book will feature reproductions of Big Brother covers featuring Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Wee-Man, and Steve-O; subscription ads featuring Knoxville, Chris Pontius, and Wee-Man; skateboard shots of Bam, Pontius, and Wee-Man (possibly Dave England, too); Knoxville’s original “Self-Defense Test” article; random Steve-O and Knoxville stunt photos; and various stupid/embarrassing images of the staff.
Thereafter it will be a treasure trove of the most memorable and never-before-seen (deemed too controversial for television) images of the jackass stars doing what they do best. Not just a great gift for jackass fans, a truly remarkable document that will be as mesmerizing as it is shocking.
really delightful little book. wish i had gotten my hands on it earlier in my life because i think i would've enjoyed it even more under the circumstances of a fixation but. theses things happen. notably i did spend $140 on a copy of this, and back in 2022 that was the cheapest i had ever seen it - but i didn't actually get it into my hands until about a month after i started phasing out of my jackass fixation which is rather heartbreaking. and then i just never had time to read it. but finally here we are. definitely a delightful piece for any jackass connoisseur to own, but perhaps not an essential unless you're really a collector (which i do consider myself to be sort of despite being a bit of a cheapskate college student with very little space). a lot of stuff in here i had already seen/learned about - though some of the pictures were new to me, and others i'm rather excited to have such crisp versions of. the breakdown of the history of big brother was probably my favorite part of this just because it's the part of jackass history that i'm least familiar with. definitely a lovely little romp through jackass history.
