10 Best Jackass Bits That Aren’t In The New Movie

Johnny Knoxville and his fellow jackasses are back for one last rodeo in their fifth and final film, Jackass: Best and Last. Although it’s been well-received by critics, some Jackass fans have complained that the new movie is basically just a glorified greatest-hits montage of the franchise’s best bits. There are a handful of new stunts (and some instant classics, like Steve-O getting a prostate exam from a robot), but it’s mostly just the kind of best-of compilation that you can find all over YouTube.

But even though you’ve seen the actual stunts before, it hits different on the big screen. In a movie theater, you really appreciate just how loud and obnoxious the “Golf Course Airhorn” is, and the sheer magnitude of the “Poo Cocktail Supreme.” I was much too young to watch the original Jackass movies in theaters, so it was my first chance to see some of those classic bits at the cinema, with the roar of the crowd and the ear-piercing splatter of the poop.

Jackass: Best and Last contains some of Jackass’ all-time funniest bits, from “Tee Ball” to the “High Five.” But it’s missing some bangers.

Rent-A-Car Crash-Up Derby

Jackass: The Movie

The “Rent-A-Car Crash-Up Derby” piece deserved to be included in the big finale if only because it was the first bit in any of the movies (after the iconic opening shopping cart stunt). It instantly established how the movie would up the ante from the TV show.

Renting a car, smashing it up, then trying to return it, is the same sort of prank we’d see on the TV show. But it’s taken to the absolute extreme, with a much bigger budget and a lot more shooting time. Knoxville rents this modest little car, gets it death-proofed, and rolls it into the middle of a demolition derby. It’s classic Jackass, but more cinematic.

The Valentine

Jackass Number Two

Best and Last did include the classic “High Five” prank from Jackass 3D, specifically the shot of Bam getting wiped out in a poof of flour, but it would’ve been nice to see this earlier incarnation of the same basic idea from Jackass Number Two. “The Valentine” involves different cast members being lured to a love letter supposedly left by a horny fan.

As they get closer and closer to read the text as it gets smaller and smaller, a boxing glove comes crashing through the wall and punches them in the face. It’s the perfect intersection of comic duplicity and classic slapstick.

Roller Buffalo

Jackass 3D

The genius of “Roller Buffalo” is in its simplicity. It’s a purely visual piece, as Knoxville dances around the ring without a care in the world before getting charged by a bunch of riled-up buffaloes.

The music is catchy, the dancing is really funny (and surprisingly well-timed), and the buffalo charge is exhilarating. It might not be as shocking as Knoxville’s tussles with the bulls, but he does take a really bad hit. What else could you want from a Jackass bit?

Department Store Boxing

Jackass: The Movie

The most iconic one-liner from this skit — “Is Butterbean okay?” — is included in one of the rapid-fire montages in Best and Last. But the line itself is much funnier in the context of the entire piece. “Department Store Boxing” sees Knoxville waltz into a department store and start fighting a professional boxer named Butterbean. Unsurprisingly, he gets annihilated in seconds, and knocked unconscious.

Knoxville often delivers his best one-liners under extreme circumstances, when he’s being carried off to an ambulance or sitting atop a rocket that just exploded or, indeed, while he’s regaining consciousness. The idea that he’d be concerned for Butterbean’s safety, after Butterbean mowed him down like a speeding van, will never not be funny.

The Fish Hook

Jackass Number Two

One of the gnarliest stunts that Steve-O ever did was shoving a fishhook through his cheek and jumping into shark-infested waters. He narrowly avoids getting bitten as he accidentally kicks an advancing shark on the head.

The stunt itself would be thrilling enough, but Chris Pontius’ dry one-liners as the fisherman using Steve-O as bait ensure this sequence is as funny as it is horrifying. Pontius sums up the audience reaction to this skit perfectly as Steve-O drives the hook through his cheek: “Isn’t this movie supposed to be a comedy?”

Billy’s Beauty Pageant Performance

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa

There’s some debate over whether or not Bad Grandpa counts as a proper Jackass movie, since Knoxville is the only cast member in it, and it actually has a plot. But Best and Last did include one sequence from the spinoff — when Irving goes to a strip club and does his own striptease — but I think the movie should’ve included a different dance sequence.

The big finale is when Irving takes his grandson Billy to partake in a child beauty pageant. His ensuing dance, set to “Cherry Pie” by Warrant, is not only spectacularly performed by Jackson Nicoll; it’s also a hilarious satirical protest holding a mirror up to just how creepy these child pageants are.

The Bear Prank

Jackass Forever

The purpose of Jackass Forever was for the O.G. crew, who had already paid their dues in the original trilogy, to torture their new castmates for fun. But no one in that movie got tortured more than O.G. cast member “Danger” Ehren McGhehey.

The climactic stunt of the movie sees Ehren being strapped to an electric chair, covered in honey and salmon, and fed to a live bear. As he desperately tries to remain as still and as calm as possible, Knoxville is electrocuting him off-screen. It walks a fine line between a Jackass movie and a Saw movie.

The Toro Totter

Jackass Number Two

Anything involving bulls is a lot of fun, and Jackass: Best and Last did include plenty of the bull-related stunts, including an unseen first take of “The Magic Trick” from Jackass Forever. But there’s one more bull stunt that the finale could’ve used: “The Toro Totter.”

It’s a great setup: four cast members on a four-way teeter-totter, desperately trying to evade a live bull. And it’s got an all-star lineup of some of the funniest cast members: Bam, Dunn, Pontius, and Knoxville.

Electric Avenue

Jackass 3D

The stunts that come with accompanying costumes are some of the most fun to watch. Jackass 3D’s “Electric Avenue” skit dresses everyone up as escaped convicts and sends them through an obstacle course involving tires, wooden beams, and — by far the most squirm-inducing — dangling tasers.

The stunts that come with an accompanying needle-drop are some of the most fun to watch, too, and “Electric Avenue” is soundtracked with its namesake Eddy Grant song. This whole skit is a ton of fun from top to bottom. Seeing a cattle rod propel Bam to the end of the obstacle course always gets a big laugh.

Terror Taxi

Jackass Number Two

Before he was fed to a bear, the worst thing that ever happened to Danger Ehren in the history of Jackass was the climactic prank of Jackass Number Two. In “Terror Taxi,” Ehren thinks he’s dressing up as a stereotypical terrorist and taking a cab to the airport to freak out the taxi driver. But really, the taxi driver is an actor — Super Troopers’ Jay Chandrasekhar — and the joke is on Ehren. The cabbie pulls a gun, locks Ehren in the trunk, and seemingly guns down the rest of the crew.

It must’ve been truly traumatic for Ehren — for all he knows, he’s about to get murdered — but, from a prankster’s perspective, it might be the single greatest, most elaborate practical joke ever pulled off. And as the cherry on top (as if the near-heart-attack-inducing abduction wasn’t bad enough), Ehren’s fake beard was made out of everyone’s shaved pubes. “Terror Taxi” might be the pinnacle of Jackass.
