I give credit to Johnny Knoxville. He's pursued acting and he's generally a likable guy. He was cool on "Jackass" and now he's cool in movies.
The rest of the gang have some serious growing up to do. "Jackass" was amusing because it was shocking and so juvenile it was almost brilliant in its juvenile pranks.
The spin-off shows are simply lame. The format of the shows is no longer entertaining. Watching guys volunteer to endure physical pain is stupid enough - watching them writhe about screaming like babies for hours as an alligator chomps on their genitalia is boring and sick.
"Wildboyz" stars "Jackass" veterans Steve-O (the guy who smuggled drugs in his butt through an airport and got arrested) and Chris Pontius (who used to do the male stripper routine on "Jackass"). They travel and film pranks in jungles and exotic locations.
It's better than "Viva la Bam" but still annoying, juvenile and generally uninteresting. "Jackass" has had its time - stuff like this just gets old.
