Jackass/Viva La Bam was peak cultural degeneracy, where adults actually started to tune in to watch this absolute low point of Western 'entertainment' television for clueless sixteen-year-olds.
Especially 'Viva La Bam' was embarrassing and the harbinger of what was to come on Youtube.
Viva La Bam and Jackass were lousy but they were the terminus of what started with CKY and Bam's skating stuff, which was a great snapshot of Gen X life when it was current. It was all before internet was standard, homemade fucking around and not giving a shit which was the attitude of every teenager at the time, only most of us couldn't afford video equipment. I can't hate Bam for that, but I think it was media and MTV pushing and changing him just as much as he helped ruin anything by the end.
Rightly so. Fuck this takes me back. Tony Hawk, Jackass/CKY/ Viva La Bam was peak early 2000’s culture.

And the way he treated his parents and that creepy uncle of his. Lowpoint doesn't begin to describe it.
MTV truly was a vehicle of left-liberal degeneracy and an unofficial media arm of the DNC.
It started with the Big Brother magazine, that's where the videos started that spun out to shit like CKY and Jackass
