      My first instinct was to utter these words.

      Who’s the demographic for this?

          The people that liked Jackass are now old as fuck and will find it silly. The youngsters will probably find this movie cringy as fuck.

            Nah, shit like that is still popular on tiktok. Humans have been enjoying watching other humans hurt themselves for like the entirety of written history.

              I swear I’m not arguing. Just chatting.

              Tiktok has something a movie like this doesn’t: Catering to the attention span of a fish. Long-form content will fail to capture people that find DikDok appealing.

              I look forward to being wrong.

                Thank you for the distinction; I’m just chatting as well.

                That’s definitely a fair take. I think Jackass kinda sorta caters to it since a lot of their stunts are fairly short. They might even format it to be closer to the short form video that TikTok/Instagram uses. They were popular back when Vine was a thing, so who knows.

                But, I look forward to being wrong too. I personally don’t find any humor in that kind of content anymore.

                  Maybe its popularity will be how easily it can be chopped up and fed to the DikDok algorithm.

        that explains why they made the previous ones. If you’ve ever seen interviews with Knoxville after one of the previous films came out, he speaks increasingly of how they get injured worse making each film, and that getting older is making recovery progressively more difficult.

        Knoxville, et al. are in their 50s-- and their bodies have already spent decades being smashed around. I can’t imagine why they would want to make another one now.

    Unless they drive with a tank over hundreds of ICE agents on their way to the White House, I’m not interested.

      Yeah, I feel like we don’t deserve the luxury of this type of entertainment, anymore. Though, it does fit with the Idiocracy vibe of these times.
