Jackass Number Two is out so hide the kids (OOPS! The kids will all be in the movie theater, watching Jackass Number Two). Jackass is vaudeville and 1940s slapstick, but played for real with lots of gross out thrown into it.
If you’ve watched Jackass you’ll appreciate Mad TV’s Kenny Rogers Jackass (if you never saw it you’ll be puzzled and repelled).
