Now that there are three movies in the Jackass franchise (four if you consider the direct-to-video Jackass 2.5), it is only fitting to sit back and reflect on some of the greatest pranks that Johnny Knoxville and his band of maladjusted merry men have brought us.
We present to you: The Top 5 Jackass Pranks of All Time.
1) Golf Course Airhorn
Admit it, every time you have driven past a golf course and seen guy dressed in plaid, about to take that all-important shot, you have an insatiable urge to honk your horn. Knoxville takes this urge to new heights as he and his team hide out in bushes near a tee box with an airhorn.
Best Bit: The confrontation at 1:06.
Golfer: You got bresitus? Knoxville: Yeah. Golfer: So that means you gotta play with a horn? Knoxville: It helps.
2) Beehive Limo
One of the things that makes Jackass funny is that you continuously wonder why they all remain friends. It must be the same part of the brain that tells people it's a good idea to go on Jerry Springer when your freakishly strong girlfriend says she has a surprise she wants to reveal to you on the show.
Here Ryan Dunn, Dave England and Wee Man are tricked into believing they are going to a photo shoot, only to be ambushed by Knoxville, Margera and a beehive.
Best Bit: When the penny finally drops at 0:45.
Random Victim: Oh, this is isn't good.
3) The Valentine
This is a brilliantly executed prank, because nearly every one of the Jackass crew falls for it.
A "fan letter" is pasted on the wall of the boys' hotel room. It mentions some of the dirty things that this particular fan would like to do to them. The dirtier the words get, the smaller they get, and just as the victim leans closer to the letter: BAM! They get punched in the face by Johnny Knoxville's Pneumatic Boxing Glove.
4) Burglars
Good pranks often depend on the reaction of the target just as much as the planning and delivery of the organizers. This is never quite as clear as when the biggest man in the office overtakes Usain Bolt as he runs from fake burglars (Margera and Knoxville). Honestly, this guy may as well have using a small child as a shield.
Best Bit: Is not actually on the video, but would have been the inevitable mockery that He-Man faced the next day.
5) Night Pandas
Second only to the Teddy as the cutest bear around, this prank goes to show that a panda can do anything it wants to, and still get away with it. From complete store destruction on the streets of Tokyo to downing shots with the boys, these pandas show us that they know how to live,
Best Bit: Panda bar fight at 1:26!
Honorable Mention: Skydive Without a Parachute
Okay, technically not a prank, but this guy jumped out of a plane without a parachute, so we'll let it slide!
