Since it came up in the video, and not from personal experience (please believe me!), alcohol or drugs consumed through the butt get into the bloodstream faster and so it hits harder quicker, but also why it can be rather dangerous.
By the way, the fact that those rockets didn't kill anyone is a damn miracle. One of them shot out and flew right inbetween the heads of two people behind them, and you can see how fast they were going as they shoot out of the fake rocket shape. Easily could have killed any number of them.
@@MusikCassette I'm a Gen-Xer, like the guys in this movie... we did WAY more dangerous stuff than this at the time. We just didn't have cameras everywhere. Live a little!
The "Two Man Bungee" remains one of my favorite stunts they ever did. Its such a great, simple idea. The fact that Wee Man gets yanked into the water is an unexpected bonus.
Plague Doctor Hahaha not in my opinion, he got off lightly in trials... he done the D*** ones normally, he was there as a hype man usually( and he did that brilliantly) I agree Knoxville was the alpha though.... just personal preference really 👍
Hawkman yeah I’ve seen them but we are not on about that series 😂 we are talking Jackass and my personal opinion for me, that’s the point, I’m not speaking for everyone, just me 😊
Penny farthings were invented before bicycle chain was, they got pretty good speed, and because the main wheel was enormous, the ride was pretty good even on bad roads.
Yes, without any gearing yet invented (or the chain to achieve gearing), if the driven wheel is not enormous they don't get enough drive ratio to lower the pedalling speed compared to wheel speed.
The reason why old bikes had such big wheels was because they hadn't worked out the idea of the pedals turning a gear that moves a chain that turns the wheel. Instead, you turned the pedals to turn the wheel. So, one rotation of the pedals only made one rotation of the wheel. So they used a wheel with a bigger circumference to move a great distance in one rotation.
Lol they made bikes like that because bike chains weren't invented yet to connect the wheels. If the two wheels were the same size and not connected by the chain it'd be really hard not to fall over (I learned from experience when my friend "Jackassed" me)
Johnny just laughing hysterically when the riot control mine first goes off explains so much. Also 'Why would you burn your friend in the first place?!' 'Because it was funny'
Something I've notices about how Knoxville get through these things. He focuses on something to maintain control of. Not losing the cigarette in his mouth with the bull, not falling down with the pellets etc.
The taxi driver is an actor. Comes out in Super Troopers, Beerfest and Slamon Salmon with Michael Clark Duncan in the last one Highly recommend all three, all 3 have the same cast and are hilarious.
Oh boy...more Jackass...these are some of the best reactions! Thank you Simone and George for all you do to make even the most questionable entertainments far more entertaining, and just orders of magnitude more funny! Oh...and the terrific t-shirts you both wear on the regular. 😁💯😂
The purpose behind Penny farthing bicycles was achieving a greater distance per pedal rotation. An old professor at VCU in Virginia told us that it was a bit of an accidental invention as an idea for a more narrow bike that would replace the stilted bikes used to manage street lanterns. I’m not so sure he was right as I’m now struggling to confirm that but it might be worth mentioning in case someone else can.
The valentine prank is one of my favorite jackass moments of all time. I remember watching this in theaters and the moment where Wee man is leaning over and Bam is hysterically laughing in anticipation of what’s about to happen was one of the funniest theater experiences I’ve ever had. The audience was going crazy lol
21:06 to this day, this horse sequence is some of the hardest laughing I’ve ever done; my wife and I saw this in theaters, and hearing a theater full of people dry heaving had me cry-laughing
It's been a while since I took physics in college but I'll take a stab at why early bikes were that way. Every time you spin the pedals one time around, you spin the wheel a certain amount too. If your wheel spins once when you spin the pedals once, you have a gear ratio of 1 to 1. But the bigger your wheel, the faster you go for the same ratio, because you travel the circumference of the wheel every time you do a full rotation. Modern bikes have a more intricate gear system that lets you ramp up the gear ratio much higher, so they don't need such a large wheel to get to higher speeds.
So penny-farthings (those bikes with the big wheel) were designed for speed. They didn’t have chain-driven geared bikes back then, so the larger wheel allowed more energy to be transmitted to the ground as the outer edge of the wheel traveled at a much higher speed, multiplying the revolutions of the pedals. They were made obsolete by the invention of the chain drive.
“Nah there’s a machine in here! Where’s the f-cking card throwin machine!?” By far the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. The delivery makes me die every time
Well one thing's for sure Bam's reaction to the Bulls chasing them was genuine, he has a real-life fear for snakes, spiders, and bulls on a phobia level of anxiety which if jumping out that closed window and getting right back up a second flat later to continue running away didn't make that clear I'm pretty the king cobra in the wind tunnel segment did 😂😂😂
I just want to say that I have been a subscriber for a while now and I absolutely cannot get over just how fun it is watching you two enjoy these movies together. Your banter back and forth, jokes, one liners, nonsensical ramblings and just overall vibe are all top notch. Easily top tier wholesome entertainment on this platform. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

If you pause the video at 30:38, you'll see my cousin Gary's name in the credits. I am so proud of both of my cousins for the work they've done with the Jackass team.
Jeff and Gary! I remember them. That's awesome. Did they help out in the recent fourth movie too? I think the last time they worked on one of these might've been Jackass 3
The Penny Farthing (the really old bike with the big wheel) did not have any gears or chain or drive. There were bikes with two wheels of the same size, but for travel on already laid roads, those were really slow. The only way they could think of to make it go faster was to increase the size of the wheel. But when the wheel got to a certain size, the back wheel had to be made smaller to fit. The fastest bikes were the most popular, and those were the ones with one massive and one tiny wheel.
I had a friend who made a dollar sign in metal shop an then had it branded on his calf. Worse was the dummy who thought huffing freon was a good idea. He passed out at the hose froze his jeans to his leg. They had to chisel them off.
Chris Pontius is so naturally funny. I wonder what he's up to these days. Before Jackass, Bam Margera had a skateboarding and prank/stunt video series called CKY. I think it spawned Jackass.
Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine were also working on Big Brother magazine and started filming some stunts around the same time and they heard about Bam and what he was doing so they decided to combine their efforts and Jackass was born
A interesting fact: there was a Brazilian tv show named Pânico na TV, and most of their content were largely inspired by Jackass and even made a tribute segment to Ryan Dunn by reenacting some of his stunts, including the bees in a limo one
I love Jackass. Even if some of their stuff can get a little too gross for me, I admire the level of creativity applied to their pranks and stunts. I've long considered them the modern-day Three Stooges, and they really capture that vibe of hanging out with your idiot buddies and doing stupid stuff just to make each other laugh.
The concept of the Penny Farthing was to be a mode of transport and the huge wheel would keep the esteemed gentleman free of dirt and grime by being placed so high up. The fault of design is rather obvious though
PSA: DON'T put alcohol up your butt, like the tampon example. That's how you get alcohol poisoning, could be lethal. If you drink too much the old fashioned way you throw up; your body doesn't have a defense like that against alcohol up the butt....
5:08 Yes, ofc there was a reason. The big wheel made the bike much faster, because of the power transfer from small radius pedals to big radius wheel. Nowadays we use a bike chain for that, but the principle is still the same, using a small gear in the middle of a big wheel.
It's simple, George : Bike chains didn't exist. Without the chain, the bigger the wheel is, the faster you can go, and it would be too heavy and even more unstable with two huge wheels. Still a very unpracticle vehicle. Way more dangerous than riding a horse.
A bike with pedals fixed to a small front wheel and no gearing (as with a basic modern bike with the chain on a big gear going to smaller one) would be very slow since one turn of the pedals = one turn of the wheel with fixed pedals. :)
Jackass 2 is much crazier than the first one, I can't wait for your reactions for JACKASS 3D as always such a great and funny reaction from both of you. 😂🤣
Everyone thinks that Steve O is the most extreme, but it's Knoxville. At this point he honestly didn't care if he lived and did all the most dangerous stuff and laughed about it.
IDK if this would be a good reaction, but i feel like you guys would like Nitro Circus. Its a lot of fun but like actual professionals trying insane stunts.
This was unfortunately where Dunn got severely injured from being yanked by that horse and had to be on blood clot medication for a long time. He was really depressed (cant blame the guy) from being on the brink of death and it showed in Jackass 2.5. We still miss the guy
It still blows me away that Knoxville didn't go down from that crowd control explosion thing that shot ball bearings lol and didn't even wear a mask.... let alone how long he fucks with that bull on the teeter totter. The one theme through all the Jackass movies is the stuff that is the most punishing, Knoxville steps up and does himself lol and mostly shakes off.... just stupid tough.
CineStunts! CineStunts! CineStunts! Let it happen! 🤘😃😜🤣 Can't wait for part 3 & the spinoff movie Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa. Oh, so George knows John Waters, would be interesting to see your reaction to one of his movies 😉😜
