  1. I JUST saw Jackass 3D earlier this week. We put it on as one of our in-house movies at Cinefile.

    My upchuck reflex went into overdrive with that "sweat cocktail" bit. Absolutely horrendous.

  2. Ugh, I had to cover my ears during that scene, otherwise I actually would have barfed. Still, it's undoubtedly the best physical comedy of the year. I like the bit where they attempted to play music to soothe the ram. Whereas everyone knows: sheep hate brass.

  3. OMG, that ram... I also thought it was hilarious every time they'd cut to their cameraman barfing as a result of one of their revolting stunts (e.g. poo volcano and poo supreme cocktail).

    Ingenuity and physical comedy are strange bedfellows, but they always seem to take themselves to the task and come up with the craziest shit. Literally.
