List of Jackass episodes


Jackass is an American reality comedy series, originally shown on MTV in one year from Fall 2000 to Summer 2001, for 25 episodes in half-hour format, featuring people performing various dangerous, crude, ridiculous, self-injuring stunts and pranks.

Series overview

Each episode is approximately 21:30 in length, except for the first and last episodes and the one-hour special.
The pilot was originally broadcast April 12, 2000 on the MTV Network, then repeated as the first episode of the series on October 1, 2000. Episodes were broadcast on Sunday nights on MTV. Reruns were shown in weeks without an original broadcast, and the entire series was rebroadcast into early 2002.

DVD releases

The DVD release of the Jackass television series is unconventional in that instead of being released as full season sets as the show was originally aired, the individual stunts and sketches were re-compiled into 22 new "episodes", and released on five DVDs over a 7 year period.
Contrary to popular assumption, Volumes One through Three do not line up exactly with the TV seasons and each volume contains segments from across all three seasons. However, the opening stunt of each DVD "episode" does correspond to the same number TV episode's first stunt, and several of the other stunts also match in each episode. Volume 1 "episodes" 1-5 roughly correspond to s1 e1-5, Volume 2 1-5 to s2 e1-5, and Volume 3 1-6 to s3 e1-6. The remaining 3 episodes from each season have no match.
The 3 volumes were packaged into a box set with a bonus disc. The bonus disc contains the one hour special episode "Gumball Rally 3000", presented as originally aired. The bonus disc also includes a few stunts not found in the 3 volumes, as well as various bonus features like outtakes and interviews.
Volume Four, sub-titled "The Lost Tapes", compiles the rest of the segments that hadn't yet been included in the previous three volumes and the bonus disc, plus bits that never aired on the TV series. Volume 4 "episode" 1 begins with the "Johnny Cannonball" intro that also begins s1e1. The opening stunt "Self Defense" is also from the pilot; though it doesn't appear first in the original episode, it was the first stunt officially filmed for the TV series. There is no correspondance in the rest of the DVD "episode" 1, nor in the remaining "episodes" 2-5.
Volumes Two and Three were released by Paramount Home Video shortly after the conclusion of the series in December 2002. Volume One was delayed, but first released in the 3-volume box set in December 2005, and then released by itself a month later on January 23, 2006. The bonus disc with Gumball Rally 3000 and other material was released only in the 3-volume box set of December 2005, and has not been released separately. The fourth volume "The Lost Tapes" was finally released in October 2009.
