Wildboyz

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.

When Wildboyz first came on I didn't watch it because I thought it was a imitator Jackass show. When Viva La Bam came on I watched that because I loved Bam from Jackass. And now Viva La Bam is one of my favorite shows. Then my brother said if I liked Viva La Bam I would love this show. So then I watched it and I loved it.

I can not stop laughing when I watch this show. Steve-o is my favorite on the show. He is by far the funniest and I love him. The wildboyz travel all over the world and do stunts with animals or with the people from that place. They also always eat the food and throw it up. My brother said that is why they are so skinny.

So you should definitely watch this show. Viva La Bam and Wildboyz are currently my top 2 favorite shows. You will not stop laughing when you watch this show.

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.

"Wildboyz" is accidentally good. It's a far more comprehensive "cultural exploration" than any offered up by usual travel programs – television docs enhancing typifications of a city's carnality, or the snobbish drivel you find on the Outdoor Life Network.

I'd recommend "Wildboyz" to those inquiring what life is "really like" in Thailand, Africa, or wherever. Steve-O and company may not outline any ethos entirely (who could?), but they don't construe the matter to satisfy predominate interpretations like "life outside American is always in squalor and suicidal." And to the other side: Life outside America isn't whimsical; there are no fairy tales for your keepsake.

People, everywhere, are living and breathing, sometimes smiling, sometimes crying. The wildboyz get it.

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.
