''Jackass'' has roots in skateboard culture through the magazine ''Big Brother'', headed by series director and co-creator Jeff Tremaine, as well as the "Camp Kill Yourself" (or Music/{{CKY}}) humor/stunt video series of castmate Bam Margera. Its point of origin was eventual cast leader Creator/JohnnyKnoxville (then a struggling actor and ''Big Brother'' writer) pitching an article about becoming a human guinea pig for various self-defense weapons -- which culminated in Knoxville getting shot in the chest to test out a bulletproof vest. Tremaine and his editors, upon filming test footage, found it so funny that the rest of the staff (including Knoxville, Dave England, Chris Pontius and Steve-O) got in on recording similarly masochistic videos.

* BreakingPointSwearing: During the first film, Bam notes that since they don't have to bleep any language, he promises to get his mother [[OnlySaneWoman April]] to say "fuck" on camera. A few scenes later, a prank involving an alligator on her kitchen floor does the trick.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: A lighter version of this trope. Usually, the group picks out one person among them, or even one person picking a handful, to be the victim and just make it their mission to ruin their day, all for the sake of the skit. Normally in the end, the gang all see the humor of it all and remembering whom they chosen to be friends with, lets it go, but never forget.

* NoodleIncident: An interesting example in the box set's commentary. All of the cast members repeatedly make jokes about horse cum, but explain nothing other than that it's a scene that was filmed for ''Series/{{Wildboyz}}'' but never made it into the show. Bam even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the trope by pointing out that no one watching will understand why horse cum is supposed to be funny. However, it stopped being a Noodle Incident a year later when the scene was included in Jackass 2 - [[spoiler:Chris "milking" a horse and then drinking the cum.]]



* TrailersAlwaysLie: The most recent trailer shows director Spike Jonze [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome jumping over a speeding Lamborghini]]. This does occur in the film, but only during the closing credits montage. No other footage with the Lambo is in the film, besides the [[spoiler:tooth pull]].

** Preston doesn't like being covered in a hat full of eggnog vomit or getting his fear of heights exploited. He's walked off the set several times before.
** Rake Yohn ''really'' hates ''mustard''. To elaborate, this is a literal example of the trope; we don't mean "he simply doesn't like mustard". For instance, putting it anywhere near his food causes him to get abnormally angry; he's gone on record as saying that it disgusts him about as much as ''period blood'', and when Bam winds up covering him in the stuff, the cast was astonished that he "took it that mellow" when they saw his reaction - which included screaming at the top of his lungs and kicking Bam's car repeatedly, implying that he's had ''far'' worse reactions in the past.

The format proved popular enough to spawn a video game and a series of [[TheMovie movies]] that allowed the gang to perform stunts and skits not possible on MTV, with every movie save for the first receiving an additional companion movie consisting of unused footage from its production (with a customary ''.5'' added to whatever number installment it was). Several movies were also released under the ''Jackass Presents'' label: a tribute to the then-recently deceased Evel Knievel, and the ''Film/{{Borat}}''-esque hidden camera comedy ''Film/{{Bad Grandpa}}'', which is the first ''Jackass'' film to be nominated for an [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] (for makeup and hairstyling, but a nomination nonetheless).

* TheMovie: Three even more outrageous movies involved stunts like Ehren peeing, eating, and then vomiting up a snow cone, all in one shot. (And then eating it again.) Probably the most extreme thing to ever be shown on basic cable (at one AM on a Sunday morning with A LOT of pixellation but still).

* TeamMom: Bam's mother, April, is usually the only person to care when they get hurt. They thank her by turning her staircase into a ski slope, sneaking in Preston to replace her husband in bed while she's asleep, launching rockets at her in the kitchen, and placing a live alligator in her home to scare her. The last one was done because Bam insisted that [[Main/PrecisionFStrike they had to get April to say "fuck" on camera.]]

* TheToothHurts: Ehren gets his tooth pulled...[[spoiler: by a Lamborghini]]. Needless to say, there was a fair amount of blood coming out of his mouth afterward. And Ehren was almost completely incoherent due to the intense pain. And it gets worse when it's later revealed it caused him to have a skull fracture.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The Self-Defense Test sketch; after the taser test, Johnny dons a cheap bulletproof vest and has a friend ''shoot him'' in order to see if the vest will protect him (it does). Filmed for a ''Big Brother'' magazine video, the gun/vest test was cut from the sketch when it was incorporated into the pilot and thanks to MTV being obstinate bastards, one of the reasons why it took six years for a season one DVD to come out, as MTV refused and WON its struggle to keep Knoxville from including the full sketch on a ''Jackass'' DVD.

* HistoryRepeats: A tragic real-life example. The remains of the CKY crew and the Margeras ended up MIA by ''Jackass Forever'', with Ryan having passed away, Bam battling his addiction and mental health issues, though he did appear in one skit (due to him barely participating in the movie, his parents didn't appear at all), and, much less tragically, Chris Raab changing jobs from on-screen talent to camera operator. This accidentally mirrored their sudden departure from the original show in Season 3.

The format proved popular enough to spawn a video game and a series of [[TheMovie movies]] that allowed the gang to perform stunts and skits not possible on MTV, with all of the movies save for the first receiving companion movies of their own consisting of unused footage from their productions. A handful of movies was also released under the ''Jackass Presents'' label: a tribute to the then-recently deceased Evel Knievel, and the ''Film/{{Borat}}''-esque hidden camera comedy ''Bad Grandpa'', which is the first ''Jackass'' film to be nominated for an [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]]. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, really.]] (For makeup and hairstyling, but a nomination nonetheless.)
