somebody told me jackass was a rip off of a england show?
is that true?

shareIf by an England show you mean Dirty Sanchez, then no, it's actually the other way around. Dirty Sanchez is a rip-off of Jackass.

many believe so
but not true, to be fair, jackass was on air first
but the sanchez laddo's were at this kinda thing LONG
before the jackass boys started out
so they did steal the idea
and like many things, the american version got more recognition than the english!

I believe the sanchez boys started it all off in the early nineties with skateboard videos that just got more and more sick until they evolved into dirty sanchez. I believe also that those videos are where the jackass guys, particularly the cky branch got the idea.
There's a show in England called Trigger Happy TV that a lot of people think Jackass was ripped off of. But, the two shows came out tyhe same year, so it looks like a coincidence.
shareNo one but you thinks that...
Trigger Happy TV was yet another incarnation of Candid Camera.
Jackass, as i said before was a evolution of skater videos in general, but the Sanchez boys had been adding an element of comedy and pain to theirs since the mid nineties...
Arguing about who came first is like pissing in the wind. Im sure both sets starting doing funny stunts amongst themselves since they were in their teens. jackass definately made the break through first but you cant argue that sanchez boys were releasing things before jackass broke through.
shareJackass Director Jeff Termaine was editor for big brother magazine, it was about skateboarding and stunts, they realesed a few VHS tapes of mostly johnny knoxville. this evolved into jackass and alot of the first series is made up of clips from big brother and CKY.
CKY however was Bam Margeras idea, he said in the Jackass where are they now special, that he picked up a 16mm camera and filmed Ryan Dunn riding a girls bicycle up a ramp and into a tree.
In the best of jackass dvd on the commentary there is a scene with santa and a man in a chicken suit. They say we copied alot of this stuff from sanchez (being Dirty Sanchez) and Trigger Happy.
The whole show wasnt ripped off of anything and same with Dirty Sanchez theyre different shows.
Jackass are pranks and stunts while Dirty Sanchez purposefully bring pain on themselves while Trigger Happy play pranks on the public.
