Did anybody catch it tonight? It's like National Geographic and Jackass combined. They do some really insane stuff, like free swimming with great whites. I don't know if it's gonna be more successful than Jackass, but at least it's better than Viva La Bam.
Man, wildboyz was entertaining but not as much as Jackass. I like Bam's show too, though I get tired of seeing him beat his (dad? or mom's BF? or something) the fat guy. I thought it was so terrible what he did to his van, but hey. If he really gave him that suburban in it's place, then hell come take my truck away!
I liked them both, the ramps in the house on bams show was great, hell you know his parents got money for that, no harm no foul. Its the same things they did on Jackass but in expaned form, more time to do their own things, what more could you ask for.
Yeah, CKY has been around since before Jackass, but it focused on other people too - not just Bam. Bam's show is more centered around his ideas and himself, at least so far. I happen to like Bam and CKY better than Wild Boyz. I just can't handle Steve-O puking anymore.
The thing I didn't like about Wildboyz was that it seemed like they were scripting a great deal of the dialogue...way more than in Jackass, where they had a basic introduction and just did the gag/stunt and had genuine reactions. In Wildboyz they looked, at times, like they were actually trying to act, which didn't fit them well. Maybe it will get better with time.
That fake goofy acting is kinda a trademark of Steve-O and Pontius. They've been doing that stuff since Jackass, for example Jaguar Gymnastics, and in the movie I think there was a skit called Whale Shark Gummer where they did the scripted intros. I think they do it that crappily on purpose, and personally I think it's hilarious because it's so obvious. BTW if you have the Jackass DVD, you can see that all of that stuff is scripted anyway.
They were ok, but it's getting old...I can't see me watching them again...I only watched about 5 minutes of each...
