Say what you want about Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the Jackass crew: That they’re crude, that they’re juvenile, that they’ve made careers out of pulling down their pants on national TV (and in five feature films, thank you very much). But one thing you can never say is that they don’t care about the integrity of their creation.
This was recently proven on the streaming service Paramount+, where at the end of 2025 all three seasons of the original Jackass TV series were removed and replaced with a message: “Warning: Per me, the jackass tv shows have been temporarily taken down from Paramount+ to restore them to the way they originally aired. That way, you and your dumb little buddies can watch them as they were presented 25 fucking years ago. So, hold tight and the shows will be right back, as painful and dumb as you remember them. Wahoo and sincerely, Johnny Knoxville.”
