Wildboyz

This show is almost a copy of Jackass but I like it. Jackass is over and we need something else in the "space" of it. And I have to give respect to these guys that they still have interests to do this.

Its funny and goofy, relaxing entertainment. And you get to see wild animals from different point of view. This beats up all the reality series.

So if you are STIFF don't watch this. Its not for you. Sorry about spelling.

I like it, not normal, not boring, not to stiff.

OK, so they are a little juvenile, but whats so wrong with that. Jackass was good and so is Wildboyz. It is a different twist on the jackass humor, incorporating animals and a variety of different locations into the show. The chemistry between Chris Pontius And Steve-O is undeniable, they work well, the play well, and most of all they make a funny, interesting and all together brilliant show. I love this show and recommend it to anyone who finds the particular brand of jackass humor funny. So what if they are immature. Its still funny. Its still fresh, and it will be around longer than jackass was, of that I am sure.

When "Jackass" was canceled in 2002, I was quite disappointed. The show was unlike anything I had ever seen. Part of what made it so enjoyable to me was Steve-O and Chris Pontius, also known as Party Boy. Apparently others agreed since just a year after "Jackass" left the air, MTV premiered "Wildboyz", a "Jackass"-style nature show. Part "Jackass" and part Discovery Chanel, "Wildboyz" follows Steve-O and Chris Pontius as they explore various locations around the world and perform the kind of stunts that made them popular on "Jackass". Just like "Jackass", the humor is juvenile, stupid, and totally hilarious. The show is also quite educational as Steve-O and Chris Pontius tell us a little bit about the animals they encounter. Both of them prove to be great nature hosts and just as entertaining as they were on "Jackass" if not more so. Although I still miss "Jackass", "Wildboyz" is an excellent substitute for its absence. "Wildboyz" is as close to "Jackass" as fans like myself are likely to get. I give it 9/10.

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.

It took me some time to warm up on Wildboyz. In the beginning the show was pretty mediocre, but it got better and better as it went along. An important reason for this is that Steve-O and Pontius seemed to become more comfortable in front of the camera, and their chemistry improved. In fact their chemistry is now one of the greatest strengths of the show.

This is a quirky and funny TV-series, and all the cute animals are a good, added bonus. It's also nice to seem some primitive cultures in the program from time to time, in fact I would like too see more of them. The interaction with the natives is often just as funny and bizarre as it is with the animals. Maybe even more so.

The show is pretty graphic at times and it's mostly low-brow humor, but if you dig that kind of thing (Like I do), then Wildboyz delivers in a big way.
