The “Jackass” team are back. Even though they’re older, they certainly are not any wiser. Johnny Knoxville and his old buddies (and a few new ones) are still out to do as many stupid, painful and disgusting stunts and pranks as possible.

“Jackass Forever” sees the gang getting back together to be even more outrageous than before. Many of the stunts seem to focus on damage to the male genitalia with the ‘Jackasses’ getting punched, stung by bees and attacked by a bird in the most sensitive area on the male body. Other stunts involve jumping into a cactus, licking a taser and getting stung in the mouth by a scorpion. The gang also finally figure out a way to light a fart on fire.

Fans of “Jackass” may find it somewhat comforting to see after all these years, the old gang are still as dumb as ever. However, it’s also kind of sad to see none of them cleared up their act and went on to better things. I’m also amazed that any of them have been able to produce offspring. If getting smacked in the testicles in elaborate ways isn’t one of the depressing ways to make your money, I don’t know what is.

Parts of “Jackass Forever” are funny. There is something amusing about some of the elaborate slapstick and some of the gross gags. However, some of the stunts are underwhelming, a lot of the pranks fall flat due to mediocre responses from members of the public and some of the gags are just too disgusting for me. How is it funny to just dump pig semen on someone? If you ever needed evidence that nudity does not have to be sexual in nature, this is definitely the film to prove it. I don’t think any woman is likely to be aroused by any of the male nudity here. If you love “Jackass” then this is a great reunion but if you don’t, it’s just the same depraved shtick.
