Neher si of the bate seemed to thk about Jackass more eply than yet, as I’ve gotten olr, I’ve found myself havg nversatns wh a spicly large number of fellow queer folks about our mutual love of Jackass: transmascs who saw a visn of themselv the anchise’s alternative masculy, cis gay men who had formative sexual awakengs thanks to Chris Ponti’ penis, and queer people of all strip who jt n’t get enough of the eaky hijks of a bunch of ostensibly straight doof. At a time when homohopbic and transphobic slurs were ltered throughout mastream movi, Jackass showed a weird band of brothers — a chosen fay, even — havg fun at each other’s hidn-mera pranks pulled on unspectg bystanrs may have seemed a b mean, but the gags the Jackass crew pull on each other are blatantly sadomasochistic, almost to the pot of kk.

Every other big star we saw on our TV screens the 2000s has sce unrgone var athetic enhancements and surgil glow ups to try to fy time, but Knoxville has remaed wh the realm of the om ble televisn to the movie theater meant Jackass uld get nastier and adlier, but also meant the seri uld get signifintly gayer than was on the small screen. In fact, the Jackass movi almost vilishly acknowledge this latent homoeroticism through meos om LGBTQ+ ins like Rip Taylor and John Waters, who serve as somethg like a queer Greek chos, potg out not jt the jackassishns of straight men but the queerns of their behavr.
While so much stud edy me of the 2000s affixed wh a giant “No Homo, ” Jackass equently dared to almost say, “Y, Homo” — or to at least acknowledge that the behavr you were seeg onscreen was equently very the filmmaker rose to his throne as the Pope of Trash and revented mp filmmakg fact, the gross-out body edy of John Waters is perhaps the clost queer precursor to Jackass. Back 2010, Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville sat down wh Vany Fair and said the quiet part out loud: Jackass, the pneerg MTV televisn show that they had spun to a succsful movie anchise, is gay. “We always thought was funny to force a heterosexual MTV generatn to al wh all of our thongs and homoerotic humour, ” Steve-O told journalist Eric Spznagel.
