History YMMV / Jackass

** It is uncommon for people to dub [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlxmKsTvcLg the show's theme "Corona"]] over people doing dangerous and/or downright suicidal stunts.

* MemeticMutation: "Hi, I'm [X], [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/and-welcome-to-jackass and welcome to Jackass!"]] and/or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlxmKsTvcLg the show's theme "Corona"]] added to people doing dangerous and downright suicidal things (the latter for videos, the former mostly for images).

*** At the end of "Golf Cart Antics", one of the crewmembers declares "Dunn can't drive for shit!"

** A stunt in 2.0 involving Ryan and Bam being dragged by a horse became this when a documentary revealed Ryan had received a life-threatening clot from it that left him absolutely miserable, and never really got better until the third movie started filming.

** During the ''Steve-O: Demise and Rise'' documentary, April Margera comments on Steve-O getting kicked out of the MTV building for a few hours during the 2--8 24-hour takeover, saying "If you get thrown out of a Jackass thing, that's bad." Years later, the same thing would happen to her own son, Bam, when he was fired during production of ''Jackass Forever'' after failing to maintain sobriety.

*** The "Son of Jackass" scene at the end, which is meant to depict the cast, including Dunn, as 80-year-old men.

** Danger Ehren was always the ButtMonkey of the group, but no one on the cast or the fanbase has allowed him to move past the [[HumilationConga humiliation of the elaborate Terror Taxi]], which starts with a fake kidnapping and ends with pubic hair. His interviews with Steve-O on ''Steve-O's Wild Ride'' consist of more ribbing at his expense.

* NeverLiveItDown: Some people would have you believe Bam was a crybaby who could [[GlassCannon dish out punishment but not take it]]. In actuality he only ever really balked at the riot mine, and [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes any time he got locked in with snakes]], and in the latter case he's having visible PTSD attacks. When it's stuff like the High Five he tended to think it was hilarious.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Basically {{Invoked|Trope}} with ''Jackass 3D''. After completing rehab, Steve-O said that his craziest stunts were actually the ones he did sober. Go ahead and take a minute to let that sink in. We'll wait.
** To support Steve-O's rehabilitation, the cast made sure that no beer was available on set during the filming of ''Jackass 3D'', so ''everyone'' performed sober...which may explain why they appear to be noticeably more miserable.

* CriticalDissonance: Most of the films except Jackass Forever got mixed reviews from critics, but they had a very positive reception from audiences.

** Hands-down, the most disgusting one ever was the tail end of the horse scene in ''Jackass Number Two'' — a scene so bad that ''it made a cameraman and Steve-O vomit on set'' and Knoxville admits that he almost vomited and he never vomits. Chris Pontius [[spoiler:drinks horse semen]]. It was even blurred out in the theatrical version. There, ''now'' do you still wish you wanted to know that?

* CriticalDissonance: most of the films except Jackass Forever got mixed reviews from critics, but they had a very positive reception from audiences.

* 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.]]

** As one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23aaanf_pn4 YouTube commenter]] had pointed out, the theme song for the series is titled "[[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic Corona]]" and the first line in the song is "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything The people will survive in their environment]]".

*** Music/{{Weezer}}'s "Memories", as the official ending song for ''Jackass 3D''. It was initially more of a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} for the cast and crew to be able to make the film years after the second movie.

---> '''Bam''': Please, God, don't let there be a ''Jackass 3''!

** Lampshaded in a deleted scene — Bam warns the audience that the Dickhouse[[note]](an actual company name)[[/note]] logo (a rainbow) will appear before homosexual scenes.
---> "''Look away.'' '''''CAUSE WE'RE GETTIN' GAY.'''''"

--->'''Chris Pontius''': [[SincerityMode I'm ashamed of myself. I really am. I'm completely ashamed of myself.]]

** The climax of ''Jackass 3D'' — Steve-O is [[spoiler:strapped into a porta-potty filled with all kinds of shit (literally) and flung high into the air. The cameras get covered in shit, there's a shit shower, it was so disgusting that ''nearly everyone puked''.]]

* MemeticBadass: '''[[UpToEleven Everyone]]'''. The amount of stunts they've participated in and survived gives the whole crew this status.
