Jackass is high art. As high as it can get.
It reminds the herd, just as Van Gogh and Picasso did- no one has done this before, but guess what, you bunch of obedient cattle, you can! What 'this' is doesnt matter. What matters is, the herd gets that signal on periodic basis. Its what pushes outliers in the herd, doing their own thing, to take steps in directions no one has before. People who think its marks a downfall of civilization need to pack their bags and move to China where you can see first hand what happens to a herd that doesnt get that signal.
- solosoyokaze 6y agoJackass are modern clowns. They appeal to base level emotions (ala fart jokes). It's not high art, and it's not anything particularly special. It's basically Garbage Pail Kids IRL. Hardly the "downfall of civilization" but I'll take some decent Chinese folk art over Jackass any day.
- leetcrew 6y agoI'm sure people said similar things about marcel duchamp in his time. toilets and drawing mustaches on people are two mainstays of puerile humor.
- solosoyokaze 6y ago> I'm sure people said similar things about marcel duchamp in his time. Duchamp came from a successful art family and was widely recognized by the industry even at the start of his career. Johnny Knoxville copied You Can’t Do That On Television and Super Dave Osborne and produced nothing notable prior to or after Jackass. Joe Rogan and Fear Factor had more influence. (Lol)
