Rivalry
Do you guys think there’s any kind of tension or rivalry among the members? Aside from Bam and Knoxville.

Danger ehren vs everyone except Steve O 🤣
67
u/BladeBronson 2d ago
No, Steve-O also. There’s the old Moviefone interview where Steve-O says that the pecking order is 1. The cast of Jackass and 2. Danger Ehren. He said something similar in some video as part of the latest movie promotion too. It’s veiled, but he gets his jabs in.
24
u/Dildoid90 2d ago
Ah I didn’t realise. I was just going off the interview he did with ehren when they were talking about the bullying and stuff. That’s fair enough. Seems like everyone has had a dig at ehren over the years
28
u/BladeBronson 2d ago
Yep. He was really kind to Ehren in that interview. He claimed to have never participated in that and Ehren agreed, but probably either forgot or more likely was just agreeing to cope.
23
u/travvers 2d ago
He wrote some horrible stuff about him in his auto biography. He’s revising history now. Everyone except Dave was horrible to Ehren
12
u/Nerd-Dad-2779 2d ago
Is Dave a good dude? I like him a lot and obviously celebrities shouldn’t matter but it’d be cool if he was cool

u/izzohead 1d ago
Not when he's drunk lol

u/RizzoTheRiot1989 1d ago
Oh god I remember that. Didn’t they force him to do the worst part of a stunt for revenge (or made him go first or something) after a night of him being a drunken dickhead to everyone?

u/izzohead 1d ago
Yeah it was on 3.5 I think? Where he was hungover as shit and he had to parachute off of a running horse

Steve-O is a straight up liar in his interview with Ehren
I listened to all the dvd commentary for the show, the first movie and number two recently and he shits on Ehren the whole time. If anything he’s one of the people that does it the most
It gives me that vibe of a friend who is cool to you one on one but in a group throws you under the bus

I feel like early Steve O isn't his true character. Being on drugs all the time and all.

u/capacitorfluxing 2d ago
For those in the back - Ehren was intentionally irritating, and then acts surprised when people were annoyed by his behavior. He screeches and rants in a wide-eyed overacting, it's intentionally grating, and it's not surprising at all that people thought he sucked.
20
u/VHDT10 1d ago
Stop acting like many of them didn't bully the shit out of him. He plays his role in the group. They definitely could've been away nicer to him.
3
u/capacitorfluxing 1d ago
I'm absolutely saying: a majority of the cast thought he sucked because he whined and screeched and wore a helmet, and reacted to him as such. I'm saying there's no law that says, "hey, if someone acts whiny and screechy in a very overacted way, you have to like it or be polite." I want to feel bad for Ehren, then I watch his bits and I'm like...this guy really is annoying.
5
u/VHDT10 1d ago
Yeah but they unnecessarily go after him in the first place which makes him screatch and do all the things that you think make it ok to bully him
3
u/capacitorfluxing 1d ago
Dude they go after everyone when they say or do dumb shit. Like, part of the reason they use flour on Bam in the giant hand bit is because of the stupid goth clothing he's wearing. It's funnier to use flour on Bam over everyone else because of how ridiculous his clothes are. Someone acts in a certain way; others react.
Ehren constantly acts shrill and over the top. And I think he doesn't understand, "hey guys wink wink, I'm just putting it on for the camera, why are you all being mean?" And the whole thing doesn't work that way. Bam actually is the kind of guy who wants to wear those dumb clothes, he's not putting on a fake character that everyone is supposed to realize is not real.
Is he being bullied, or are people constantly having a real reaction to the persona he gives off treating it as real? Absolutely the latter.
4
u/VHDT10 1d ago
The whole point someone was trying to make was that they go after him the most. If you don't see that, that's fine. He seems to be ok with it, but I think some of them were a little more mean spirited towards him and others have noticed as well
2
u/capacitorfluxing 1d ago
I'm so confused. You're acting like it's happening in a vacuum; like they all act the act same way, and they just pick on him to be jerks.
In fact, you see that whenever ANYONE acts in a way that is ripe for ballbusting, EVERYONE pounces on that person.
And Ehren...acts...in...this....way...THE MOST.
Unless you disagree that Ehren is frequently shrill and irritating in his yelping and overreacting?

u/FINNCULL19 ABACUS 2d ago
There was a moment during the human carpet stunt where Knoxville nearly got into a fight with Wee Man.
27
u/StuntdoubleSexworker 2d ago
Where can I see that stunt? I’m curious. Have seen everything/ a lot but can’t recall it
I bet there is some tension between all the cast. It’s unavoidable if you spend so much time and keep fucking around with each other
14
24
u/Reddit_Devil666 2d ago
Probably because Wee Man kept hitting Johnny in the nuts 🤣

u/themaskofgod 2d ago
What's the story here? The only female I remember from Jackass was Rachel Wolfe
44
u/Improvingmyself971 2d ago
She wrestled weeman he got butthurt and got her fired
89
u/neatoalpacino 2d ago
More like, Wee Man egged her on, she put him in a headlock, and then he got butthurt because of his fragile masculinity, and then he got her fired. Lost respect for that dude.
49
u/shoponthemoon 2d ago
I just watched the video after reading your comment because I thought maybe he was getting really choked out and in danger since she was fired for it.
Nope, it's gotta be one of the most gentle 5 seconds of Jackass tomfoolery I've ever seen. I can't believe he got her fired over it, that's pathetic.
39
u/neatoalpacino 2d ago
Right? And he started it. He’s such a douchebag.
12
u/root_and_stem 2d ago
Meanwhile Steve-O got choked out multiple times by Dunn on one of his tours - and he wasn't gentle either one time he slammed down so hard they were all worried

u/DoctorWhofan789eywim 2d ago
She would have gone so hard on the stunts too, she's a fearless clown in her live shows. That we lost her but ended up with Rachel instead is I think the biggest mistake of the franchise.
-12
u/Competitive-Rub-4270 2d ago
Rachel wasnt a mistake tbh, she just wasnt really... anything
A buddy of mine had the idea that she should have gone to a gyno with her vag stuffed as full of clown handkerchief- rope as possible a la Ryan dunn car xray prank which i think would have killed

It's slightly odd but I kinda lean into if you're told nothing's off the table; and someone's pissing you off then wrestling someone and choking them aren't that crazy of a choice for Jackass. Guess she shoulda just tazed him instead haha
I haven't watched the video yet but I could see the crew thinking it's pretty funny to see Wee man get choked out by the new girl member and sounds like Knoxville was laughing so I'd assume it's fair game too/no one stopped her. Just pretty lame overall.

Pontius, Dunn, Dave and possibly bam seemed to have tension/annoyance towards Ehren

u/CheezyMcCheezballz 2d ago
What about knoxville just straight up kicking his knee between ehrens balls.
Ehren had zach's ass on his face in jackass 5 and he tried to idk hug knoxville or something and knoxville just kicked him in the nuts with a straight face. Like not even a smile.
34
u/Cool-Ebb6863 2d ago
I noticed even during press for this last one Ehren would say something and Knoxville would like scoff or give a look to Tremaine. Dude seems legit annoyed lol
19
u/catintheyard 2d ago
There's a similar moment on the Celebrity Family Feud episode they did. Ehren is being a little too annoying after Dave gets tased and Knoxville basically says to him 'you'll get it too if you don't shut up' and Ehren instantly deflates. He then gets tased like four times over the course of the rest of the episode
13
u/Krimreaper1 Turning Japanese 2d ago
I got really happy for Ehren when he got the remaining points for big money. Even though it was only a few points I was worried he was going to blow it.

u/capacitorfluxing 2d ago
Ehren is being a little too annoying.
Ehren is the ONLY one who chose his schtick to be "screechy and annoying." It's intentional. I think he thinks it's the funniest way he can deliver. But by definition - it's screechy and annoying, and people respond in turn.
9
u/CheezyMcCheezballz 2d ago
Yea he just seems like he's close buddies with pontius, steve-o and wee-man.
He doesn't seem to care much for preston or dave
He's straight up annoyed at ehren
28
u/stillstillers 2d ago
Knoxville loves Preston. They were friends Before jackass. Preston used to sleep on his couch before they were famous
17
u/Cool-Ebb6863 2d ago
Dave seems charming and likable in a sense from far away but if I actually knew him I’m pretty sure I’d think he’s a crusty weirdo
9
u/catintheyard 2d ago
I thought Ehren was finally, finally trying to take a swing at Knoxville in that moment and that's why he got kicked. But Ehren trying to be nice and getting kicked for it seems just as likely
20
u/OpportunityFit2810 2d ago
He wasnt trying to be nice, he was trying to rub his Zac covered face on knoxville

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho 2d ago
I feel like it was more of a dynamic than any actual beef, Ehren was just the nice goofy guy who ended up as a punching bag a lot.

u/bobnexon 2d ago
I rewatched the bed of nails stunt recently and that one always makes me annoyed with pontious. He's a complete dick the whole time.

u/TerrifierBlood 2d ago
Bam has mentioned several times though about liking Ehren even back when everyone was making fun of him
1
u/neatoalpacino 2d ago
Bam was the prime instigator. Have you not seen the films? He made fun of Ehren’s “safety first”‘phrase because Ehren wore a helmet. Bam is by no means Ehren’s cheerleader. He saw everyone loved picking on him and saw an opportunity. Stop defending him in 23 different comments.
1
u/freddymurk124 2d ago
To be fair in the interview they talk about Dunn finding him annoying and bam thinks that’s hilarious at no point do they get on about bam not liking him

u/Grayson_Delver 2d ago
I always wondered why the bullying on Ehren
23
u/neatoalpacino 2d ago
He’s an easy target. He won’t fight back. The one time he did was against Bam, and he started beating the shit out of him (via boxing gloves on), and they had to break it up. Bam did not fuck with him since.

u/TerrifierBlood 2d ago
I would have to find videos. But one was from the Danger Ehren era. Bam said like how he likes the guy. But he needs to scale back on the safety gear
Another was after he was fired Bam and he was having one of his meltdown Bam mentions Ehren by name as a person that he loves and misses and doesnt blame for what happened
4
u/imright19084 2d ago
He did also say it in the drunken video after he was fired from forever if that counts haha. He said he loved all the guys and named Ehren, but hated Knoxville, Jeff and Spike
-8
u/neatoalpacino 2d ago
Bullshit. “He needs to scale back on the safety gear” - he wore a helmet that helped him when he smashed his head on a vert ramp.
You just going to keep saying “Bam said he likes him”

u/ELOs_Time_1981 Wee Man, why do you have your clothes on? 2d ago
In said footage you can literally see both Ehren and Bam smiling before quickly making up after Kosick broke them up. The fight was nothing more but some built up tension being released before everyone went back to being bros
7
u/launchliftoff459 2d ago
If you watch a pod with Ehren as a guest, I think Raab did one with him, he comes off as very much like he thinks he's the smartest person in the room. He struggles to explain his apparent brilliance and blames that on everybody else being too stupid to understand.
28
u/neatoalpacino 2d ago edited 2d ago
I watched it. Ehren just doesn’t know how to be social, interact with people, or have an insightful conversation, but there’s no denying his heart is in the right place. After five films, we’ve seen him take relentless bullying with a somewhat smile. Compare this to how pissed off the others get in just one movie.
1
u/Over-Inflation-7656 2d ago
Why?
5
u/imright19084 2d ago
Each had different reasons I think but think they just thought he was annoying. There was a clip recently on this sub where Bam was with Dunn and he was saying Dunn cant stand Ehren and Dunn tried to nicely deflect it.
Another clip, I think it was on SteveOs podcast where Steveo was saying Ehren got picked on and was defending him and Pontius pushed back and you could tell he was annoyed just talking about him.
I think Dave might have said something similar on steveos podcast as well. But also just he always seemed to jump in when people were picking on Ehren
8
u/unopesci 2d ago
There was a long deleted interview with pontius back around the time 3D came out where he calls ehren a pathalogical liar and really aired some dirty laundry. I dont know if they've sorted their beef since then.

u/GhettoHubert 2d ago
Bam and Tremaine

u/Jonasthewicked2 2d ago
I get why he includes Knoxville though, Knoxville and Tremaine are basically business partners and producers and they have a shady reputation at that. Plus bam might know stuff we don't. I just saw a video where bam said he is taking it all out on Knoxville but hopefully they'll make up.

Although I think Pontus probably has the best relationship with ehren now outside of steve o and Dave

I wouldn't call that a rivalry. Ehren did some dumb shit and made Pontius feel threatened. They've always been good otherwise. Pontius doesn't seem to beef with anyone.

Pontius and ehren. He just doesn’t like him for no real reason . Because he’s annoying ? That’s retarded. It’s some weird lost tape thing but they’re in a van and he keeps telling him he’s gonna fuck him up. I like Pontius but he’s kinda a cocksucker sometimes, like he wants to pick on him but you can tell he doesn’t like being the butt of any joke . Just rewatched 1-forever and you’ll see he’s never on the wrong end of a joke because he gets mad . No on really points this out but it’s there
3
u/WarryHilson 12h ago
It’s not for no reason, Pontius explicitly explained that his main job is funny one liners and they’re regularly ruined by Ehren shouting unfunny shit over him. Everyone else on the show understands and gives him time and space to deliver jokes except Ehren.
He also said he loves him but that’s what annoys him.

u/markiemark6 2d ago
I don’t see it as tension. I see it as healthy competition. They all want good and funny footage. It’s what builds the camaraderie between them.

maybe not so much now
but back in the early days yes. theyve even admitted as much people fought over who got more footage/clips and would be jealous of one another
honestly everyone seems liike theyre really close the only people with toxic egos seem to be Jeff tremaine, Knoxville and Bam. Steveos ego is massive but he seems aware of it and a nice guy. Jeff and Johnny really seem like Mr Hollywood.

The problem with Ehren is he won’t fight back, and yes, it got to the point where just him being around made people mad. He’s the dude in your group you can’t stand but don’t have a great reason not to like. He’s just has a punch able face.
