*giggle* Confusion on the sudden and somewhat inexplicable love of Jackass is totally okay because yes, girls! Girls are awesome! And the boys really are just *incredibly* stupid at times. But!

The guys of Jackass are, by and large, the type of outcast geekboy skaters that populated my circle of friends in swim team and in marching band. I *know* these guys. I grew up and was best friends with these guys. And for all that they are dumb and for all that they are fond of the incredibly low humor, they still have those moments where you bond over like, stupid Star Wars trivia or one of them will bust out a movie line that you like a lot and you start giggling and you can't stop.

Also? I really like the whole thing where they'll do something incredibly stupid, get hurt, laugh it off, and then go and do something even stupider. It's like stoicism through dumb boyness.

I don't know. They appeal to me on that level where they are good natured anarchist geekboys who like to break things and blow shit up for laughs. I...like dudes. Like, pretty much that is it. I like it because the guys of Jackass are the guys who made (and continue to make) me laugh with their wacky shenanigans.
