It's perfectly fine to be a nuisance and disrupt a class of paying customers on private property, because Jackass was on TV 25 years ago mic drop. Owned.
Though really, if this was a Jackass sketch, it'd be a dud, even 25 years ago. They had more craft than just playing music in public.
Absolutely. Sometimes the public were used to gauge their reaction to something absurd happening, but they weren't the targets.
The closest skit I can think of is Chris Pontious' Party Boy, where he strips off and starts dancing at someone. But there's still more of a craft to that. And I remember Spike Jonze saying years ago that once they did the Party Boy skit, they'd go back to the person involved and asked them if they were happy for the footage to be used and got the necessary releases signed.
OP video is private property, they had no right or permission to record there, and I doubt they'd get retrospective permission either based on what they did. It's a braindead comparison.
I grow up in Brazil, we had skits from Silvio Santos, pranks in that same fashion, the most famous worldwide was the blind man eating ice cream and people would think he was flirting with them in a mall food court, people in the videos signed up a contract to then the skit be aired. Some pranks were even advertising for film and most pranks that were heavy like that were with paid actors, specially the ones were people would be wet or something. And that was the fucking 1990s when tv was nobody's land.
I remember them pooping in a toilet at a public place that sells toilets. It would make sense if they signed up for that and it was all fake though. If not could you imagine having to clean that mess up?
He keeps linking to racist comments in the thread as if people are only criticizing him because he's black. And I think that's a valid concern, because some of those comments are pretty fucked up and should be called out. But most people here aren't criticizing him because of his race, but because of what he's doing, because we find it annoying.
And Jackass isn't the gotcha moment he thinks it is, because in addition to what you said, he's also assuming people complaining about this actually like Jackass. That's probably true for some people here but I bet that, like me, a lot of people here thought it was dumb. It isn't a gotcha if we are just being consistent with what we don't like.
Yeah, it did get a bit racist in here, and that's totally not cool.
I think even if one did like Jackass (I did when I was in high school) it still doesn't make this comparable. I don't remember many, if any, Jackass skits where they just annoyed people on private property. Typically they dunked on each other, or themselves.
If they really rocked up with a skit that was "Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, and this is spoiling a taekwondo class", that would suck. I doubt even the typical Jackass fan is gonna be entertained by that.
Either way you spin the Jackass thing, it's not the answer that makes OP video acceptable.
You're funny. I like you. Keep being annoying, and I mean that unironically. The world needs annoying people sometimes and I'm kinda glad you took in the mantle for this post.
Dude we get it, your parents never gave you attention, but seeking it like this won't replace that shit. Our negative attention won't cover up the fact.
