One is a group of idiots laughing and going "Yo, check this out, I'm going to dangle my rear end in front of a crocogator" and the other is a guy crying about how much it hurts to eat these light bulbs, but he needs youtube views.

I think it's cause you can see the Jackass crew having fun and enjoying themselves, and for the most part they stopped when the ran out of ideas (as far as I know). LA Beast just gives off this aura of desperation nowadays and doesn't seem to actually have any fun anymore.

Yeah they're idiots who hosed themselves up really bad, but they're also a tight-knit group of fun-loving charismatic party animal best buddies doing (sometimes) genuinely big, creative stunts with (sometimes) genuine skill and badass-ness (and other times just kicking each other in the dick). They got rich, achieved mainstream fame and sort of invented a new form of televised entertainment by sheer force of personality, had loads of fun and probably got laid an incredible amount. Not saying it's a solid lifestyle choice or anything but it's not comparable to an unhappy man chugging too much cola or whatever, alone, for youtube views. That's like comparing being a rockstar with eating only mcdonalds because they're both ultimately unhealthy.

There was a lot of concern about Steve o for a while. There were also a few stunts in common with la beast, like the bullet ant dance.

snergle posted:someone explain the joke to me? Nancy Kerrigan was on the US Olympic ice skating team in the early 1990s. Tonya Harding was another person on the team and was a rival of hers, and sent a dude to try to break her leg with a nightstick or some poo poo. It was pretty weird poo poo. They only send two people from the team to compete at the Olympics, so there was a lot of rivalry to see who gets to go. Kristi Yamaguchi was also on the team. The cherry on the sundae is that Kerrigan recovered and got silver, and Harding got like eighth. And also blacklisted from American skating for the rest of her life for trying to assassinate a teammate's career. e: The schadenfreude is on Tonya Harding for being a real lovely human being and ruining her own career as a result.

As she was walking through a corridor at Cobo Arena immediately after a practice session, Kerrigan was clubbed on the right knee with a police baton by assailant Shane Stant.

I know Kristi is also a figure skater, but is there bad blood there? Or is it just a friendly joke?

Gross Dude posted:I know Kristi is also a figure skater, but is there bad blood there? Or is it just a friendly joke? Could be neither. While the public may think of the incident whenever we here Kerrigan's name, her RL friends probably don't. She got assaulted, she got better, and then she went on to do lots of other things for 27 years. She got married, had three kids, her dad died in a drunken rage, all sorts of things the public didn't much care about. It defines her to the public, but hopefully it doesn't define her to her friends and colleagues. So it's possible Kristi literally meant it the way you'd say 'break a leg' to anyone giving a performance, and didn't think about the implication until later.

Roobanguy posted:what the gently caress was the point of this? There's a trick where you can soak your hands in a solution of alcohol and water and then set it on fire, and the combination of the alcohol's vapour pressure and the water's isolation will allow it to burn off cleanly without hurting you. Usually you're supposed to wholly dunk your hand into the solution to guarantee good and even coverage, so chances are he left some bits of skin uncovered and got them burned.

Usually you're supposed to wholly dunk your hand into the solution to guarantee good and even coverage, so chances are he left some bits of skin uncovered and got them burned. You can dilute high percentage alcohol with water down to >50% and it will ignite. Its best to keep a full(not washcloth size) towel sitting in a sink full of water to put the fire out like a blanket. Dunk your hand in the sink before applying diluted mixture. I'm not a millionare so I poured it onto my hand. For this picture I cheated and held a sponge soaked in fluid. I needed more fire because I couldn't get the lighting right.  Shadenfreude lands on me lighting my hand on fire for a picture because some friend of a friend told me to light myself on fire. There was no blisters or pain despite it taking way too many tries to get the lighting and coreography right.

And most of them walked away from it with some level of worldwide recognition/fame and owning expensive cars and a big house and Knoxville at least kickstarted a movie career, although most of them eventually slipped back into obscurity.

Knoxville and the other producers were also smart enough to start up the Nitro Circus show and pretty much pass the dumb stunt baton on to younger, healthier people who actually had some skill in doing stunts. Well, healthy people with skills plus some random fat unskilled guy called Street Bike Tommy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2b6MPpRNmE

LA Beast just gives off this aura of desperation nowadays and doesn't seem to actually have any fun anymore. Beast never enjoyed this. The funny part about this videos was either his solemn way of wanting a challenge and then pussing out two to four minutes later. He was the ultimate frat boy: hardcore until he had to put up or shut up and then it was nothing but crying and/or giving up. The fact that he's now lost his mind and is basically drinking himself to death on lovely beer in his parents' house makes him a ghetto Shoenice.

The Jackass crew at least went through with a lot of poo poo. I think the only exception was Margera (who was pretty much like Beast) who at least got tormented a lot by the crew so at least he provided some entertainment at the expense of his dignity. In the long run, Jackass was fresh at what it did. Beast was a ripoff at best who showed that for a Jackass ripoff to work you need people that either enable or force you to do weird poo poo. Without that group backing, you get some occasional moments of hilarity that drowns in a lot of giving up. Phyzzle posted:There was a lot of concern about Steve o for a while. There were also a few stunts in common with la beast, like the bullet ant dance. Steve-O only got pathetic when he struck out on his own, like Beast. Being a solitary jackass isn't funny, it's a fetish. Facebook Aunt posted:Could be neither. While the public may think of the incident whenever we here Kerrigan's name, her RL friends probably don't.

It defines her to the public, but hopefully it doesn't define her to her friends and colleagues. Or it could be that Kristi and Nancy have the sickest senses of humor ever and we're only getting a glimpse into their own madness that seems savage to us but normal for them. It has been decades since the attack and for all we know they've accepted it and moved on and to us it seems callous but to them is endearing.

Or rather: there was some veneer of professionalism where YouTube means you can do this poo poo in your own house, making it look amateur and by extension 'real' and incredibly sad. Edit: that crash is amazing. It's effortless how he just misses the soft landing. Elegant in a way.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:Shoenice. I met this guy a year or so back at a local comedy show in Denver. He and his buddy wouldn't shut the gently caress up, despite being asked multiple times. They were the very definition of "heckler who thinks he/she is helping" and, ultimately, we asked them to leave. But not before he tried to pull the "don't you know who I am? let me get on stage" bullshit. Ugh. gently caress that guy.
