    They’re the lucky ones, not having to deal with *motions in the general direction of everything*

    I think one of the most impressive pieces of comedy was in a random Jackass sketch.

    Mall boxing, Knoxville squares off against a one time super heavyweight champion, Butterbean. Butterbean laughs, lets Knoxville take a free shot then proceeds to one punch Knoxville unconscious. Paramedics come and as they’re attending to Knoxville he comes to, looks around and immediately asks “Is Butterbean okay?”

    I die every time. The wherewithal to come out from an almost certain concussion with such a ludicrous assertion/question, just goddamnit, it’s perfect.

    Conversely, let’s spare a thought to all those mooks that sterilized themselves saving the rest of us an entire generation of kids raised by the above.

      Steve-O had a sperm count of 51 million, average is 20-30 million. So that calls into question if nut kicks may be a fertility treatment for men.

        I’m not sure, maybe one of the billion things Steve-O regularly snorted back in the day is the key.

    Can’t forget its pseudo-predecessor America’s Funniest Home Videos and all of the guys recording themselves getting kicked/hit in the groin to try to win $10,000.

    as much as this show and subsequent movies were instrumental in my interest in physical comedy, thank god those men never bred.

      Everyone but Steve-O, Wee Man, Preston, and Brandon has kids.

      Knoxville has 3, Bam has 1, England has 4, Ehren has 1, and Pontius has 1.

      Steve-O had like 2x the average sperm count, but had a vasectomy. He was expecting to find out that he was sterile after all the testicular trauma, but he was hella potent.

    I remember being in a small casino watching Steve-o perform on a tiny stage, like 5 feet away from me. He wound up staple-gunning his scrotum to his thigh. I blew chunks all over a police officer, and had to be rushed out because I was drinking, in a casino, on a fake ID. Steve-o thought it was hilarious. Good times.

    You joke, but this is a genuine line people are making with child free and transgender people in regard to their reproductive health.
