''Series/{{Jackass}} Presents: Bad Grandpa'' is a 2013 hidden camera comedy film directed by Jeff Tremaine and written by him alongside the other co-creators of ''Jackass'': Creator/SpikeJonze and Johnny Knoxville (the latter of whom stars in the film). It is the second film presented under the ''Jackass Presents'' banner following the 2008 direct-to-DVD film ''Mat Hoffman's Tribute to Evel Knievel'', and the first to be released in theaters.

In the film, Knoxville plays a character of his previously seen in the previous three ''Jackass'' films -- the curmudgeonly old coot Irving Zisman. At the start of the film, he has just received some tragic news. His wife of 40 plus years has passed away...and he couldn't be happier. He's a free man for the first time in decades, and he's going to enjoy every second of it.
