    “What they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and then not putting me in a movie, and, you know, I had to go to court over it. You couldn’t offer me enough money to want to do another ‘Jackass’ with them. The damage has been done.”

    Wow what a whiny little bitch. Nobody made him go to treatment for his issues just like nobody made him fall off the wagon again and lose out on the deal. Those were all his choices and his consequences.

    Dude is such a fucking kook. I’m so sick of this guy. He really is the worst product of reality TV.

      He’s the one Jackass™️ who spun off to abuse his family on reality TV. He’s a drunk fuck up whose terrible life decisions killed his best friend.

      Disclaimer: I’m old enough and live close enough to West Chester, PA to be personally affected by and hear about every dumb fucking thing Bam had ever done. He’s gone on the local radio stations to publicly apologize and promise to be sober so many times you could set a watch to it. I personally hate Bam Margera, and wish ill on him.

      He was a pro skater in the early days. Made a bunch of prank and stunt videos that eventually got him on jackass, where he was mostly just an ass to others. Then he got a reality show about being a dick to his family. He never got clean when the rest of jackass started getting clean and was forced out.

    His most famous stunts include being branded on his buttocks, being placed inside a cage with a cobra and treating golf carts like monster trucks.

    AI slop.

      Not familiar with Jackass? Being branded isn’t that extreme. Treating golf carts like monster trucks was just doing a Jack Dorherty long before that perpetual manchild made it far less cool.

      He’s also known to be phobic of snakes, so the Jackass crew trying to trick him into a cage with a cobra was at least memorable even though OFC they weren’t going to straight up force him.

        Totally forgot the branding. Being placed inside a cage with a Cobra isn’t really a stunt but a “prank”. In any case, it seems I was wrong. The phrasing put me off as I don’t think these are his most famous experiences in Jackass, except for the golf cart shenanigans.

          Well, you have to remember Bam had several shows of his own, even one before Jackass, so his list of ‘contributions’ to Jackass is a bit odd looking when compared to his whole career.

          Sounds silly and like it shouldn’t have made him famous, because it shouldn’t and didn’t.
