6''Wildboyz'' is a spin-off to MTV's hit TV-show ''Series/{{Jackass}}'', featuring Chris Pontius and Steve-O travelling through various exotic (and [[DeepSouth some]] [[OnlyInFlorida not-so-exotic]]) locations while performing dangerous stunts and interacting with the local wildlife and cultures. Along the way they are joined by other familiar cast members, such as Manny Puig, Wee-Man, and Creator/JohnnyKnoxville. The series was directed by Jeff Tremaine and combined its parent show's characteristic antics, stunts, and crude humor with documentary-style narration.

8The show lasted from 2003 to 2006 and has 4 seasons. The show ended after Johnny Knoxville joined the gang on their trip to {{UsefulNotes/Russia}}, and his willingness to go above and beyond convinced the crew to make a second ''Jackass'' movie.

10!!''Wildboyz'' presents examples of the following tropes:
11* TheAce: Manny Puig reprises his role as in-house wildlife expert. Played with in that he's involved in some very stupid stunts. Chris and Steve-O also dub snake-handler David Weathers as a snake-''idiot''.
12** On-screen text billed Johnny Knoxville as an "[[BlatantLies expert tracker]] and hollywood star".
13* AmusingInjuries
14* BestialityIsDepraved: A common source of humor for the show's jokes and segments.
15** Steve-O makes out with a giraffe while wearing stilts.
16* BodyHorror: Using baby alligators as earrings and [[EyeScream sticking leeches on their eyeballs]], just to name a couple.
17** Chris gets a snake tattoo by [[ExactWords getting bit by a snake and then rubbing ink into the bite]].
18* CameraAbuse: An electric eel brushes past a camera, frying it and zapping the cameraman.
19** Cameramen have been attacked by the animals they were filming on more than one occasion.
20* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Chris and Steve-O stroke sea cucumbers, [[VisualInnuendo causing them to release their stringy white innards]].
21** Macaques are used in this way as a running gag in one episode.
22--->'''Steve-O:''' As cute as [[{{Pun}} macaque]] seems, the truth is: it's a ''filthy'' little thing that spreads disease and causes nothing but trouble!
23* DontTryThisAtHome
24* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: Chris [[{{Squick}} squeezes salmon semen into Steve-O's mouth]], after filling it with roe from a female salmon.
25-->'''Steve-O:''' It's a small price to pay to continue on the legacy of these salmon... [[ForScience I did it in the name of science]].
26* ForScience: They do insanely, and hilariously, stupid shit all in the name of science so that no one else will ever have to.
27* ForeignQueasine: Some of the local delicacies the cast consumes.
28* ForbiddenFruit: Manny places a cookie on the back of an [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes eastern diamondback rattlesnake]], which Chris has to grab.
29-->'''Chris:''' ...''God'' I want that cookie.
30* HeterosexualLifePartners: Chris and Steve-O.
31* HoYay: Frequently invoked. The fact that Chris and Steve-O are almost always dressed in nothing but thongs doesn't help.
32-->'''Steve-O:''' What could possibly be ''[[{{Pun}} margay]]'' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margay]] than this?
33* PainToTheAss: Many episodes involve Steve-O intentionally presenting his naked backside to one of the episode's animals to get bitten or stung.
34** In one episode, Johnny Knoxville gave Steve-O a bare bottom spanking across his lap using Mexican nettles.
35* RunningGag: It's a well known fact that Steve-O has a ''hilariously'' weak stomach. As a result, practically every episode devotes ''at least'' one segment to making Steve-O puke. From the mundane like farting in a cramped tram to getting him to [[BlatantLies drink a very popular southern beverage:]] chew [[BrainBleach spit]]. [[BrickJoke It's all in the name of science.]]
36* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Executive producer Trip Taylor, when Chris threw a [[SpidersAreScary huge, hairy spider]] on to his back.
37* ShmuckBait: The crew tricks Steve-O into thinking that Johnny Knoxville was bitten by a deadly viper.
38-->'''Steve-O:''' Dude, I'm the most gullible bastard in the world, ''of course'' I thought Knoxville was dead.
39* SnakePit: One shows up in the second season.
40-->'''Steve-O:''' Just as we suspected, an Amazonian snake pit. *''beat''* [[TooDumbToLive I better get in there.]]
41* TooDumbToLive: Many of the show's stunts involving deadly wild animals fall under this.
