While most people might bring their sick friend chicken soup, Johnny Knoxville is no ordinary friend. Instead, the Jackass star opted to toilet paper the house of his COVID-positive pal Eric Andre on Christmas Eve. Such tomfoolery can be expected from the Jackass co-creator, who’s made a name for himself running from bulls and getting shot out of cannons. Following three seasons of Jackass on MTV, Knoxville and co. launched the reality stunt series into a successful film franchise, releasing three–soon to be four–Jackass movies and other Jackass-adjacent projects.
Jackass director Jeff Tremaine teamed up with Eric Andre to produce Bad Trip. Inspired by the Jackass franchise and the work of Sasha Baron Cohen, Bad Trip received acclaim upon its release in March 2021. The film is credited with pushing the boundaries of the hidden camera subgenre, as Andre’s film combines a scripted narrative with pranks on an unsuspecting public.
