15 ‘Jackass’ Spin-Offs, Rip-Offs, Prequels and Side Projects That Will Give You a Nutshot of Nostalgia

Jackass isn’t just a show. Depending on how you view it, it’s everything from an empire to a lifestyle. Multiple generations of people now wander the Earth bearing skull-and-crutch tattoos or clusters of scar tissue from ill-advised shopping cart escapades. People feeling their absolute lowest can watch the giant high-five from Jackass 3D and know that life is worth living.

Inevitably, it’s led to all sorts of related projects, most of which feature plenty of good old-fashioned thwocks to the nuts, ass injuries and inadvisable ideas. There are hundreds of hours of entertainment preceding, following or lightly imitating Jackass, an extended universe of immature, fantastic, painful nonsense.

The Biggest Turd in the Punch Bowl

The Greatest Ever Episode of MTV’s ‘Cribs’
