Mojnmand This is by far the worst and most stupid show I have ever seen on TV. It is almost physically painful to watch an adult (well in his twenties) doing nothing but torture and mock his parents, who always seem to have no clue what so ever about the stunts they are forced to endure by their dimwitted son and his equally stupid friends. Of course I know his parents are in on it, but I really hate how they always act like they are caught completely by surprise. It seems fake through and through. And I really hate the intro of the show, in which a voice over asks "Bam Margera, what WILL he think of next?!?!" (I think that's how it is, anyway), and Bam himself answers: "Whatever the f^*k I want!" - WOW! Bam is really a hell raiser - living at home with mum and dad! -of course the word "f^*k" is replaced with a tasteful beep, but we get the message. Bam is the real deal rebel - at least in his own eyes. Of course Bam and his posse of numb sculls aim at an audience of teenage boys, and of course it's a MTV show, but please, raise the bar a little. It's painfully predictable and stupid, and therefore nothing but boring.

vyhle I have not watched every jackass episode. It was mildly entertaining if nothing else was going. But after watching Jackass #2 i was fond of Bam and Dunn. They had a nice attitude in the movie jackass so i figured i'd tune in on viva la Bam. Boy was i mistaken. Seriously, you could pair a bunch of 2'graders, provide them with the same budget and i bet they could knock off something more creative on the screen. I mean, C'Mon MTV!! At 23 where most people are tuned in you give us this rubbish.Everything seems so forced. You don't know the characters because there's no attitude at all. You can't appreciate Bam or Dunn, or anyone for that matter. If there would just be a tiny tiny doze of thought. Anything we won't forget as soon as next shot goes on.They finally manage to create a good shot and you like whats going on. You sit there, just waiting for their reaction, and then some jerk closes the scenes with two lame sentences and bang. Was that the close for that shot or what, please?. If i had been there i would freak out and laugh. Do some insane stuff and have my adrenaline pumping but these guys... Just scripted stupid reactions.Yes they get a few chuckles of the audience by cheap gross jokes, or gigantic jokes which in my opinion are such a waste of cash. Many many normal humans which was not taken under the Jackass wing could in a heartbeat write a far funnier script. Or impress with visual camera work. Even spontaneous wannabe cool guys without a script would pull of a better job. MTV could in a whim bring more soothing material on the screen. You just need to fire the writer of this stupid show.Some scenes actually require a bit of courage and therefore 2 stars.

T Y This is the kind of show for viewers who find fart jokes too difficult. Bam was the dumbest portion of the original Jackass. Bam is not hot. He's a belligerent, slap-happy moron. To find someone near as stupid you'd have to choose from the three idiot sons on Growing up Gotti. To listen to his moronic giggling when something goes off or doesn't go off, you know you're looking at the missing link. Set-up and timing are foreign concepts to him. He has the brain of a lizard. If you think wall-to-wall physical violence without any setup or meaning is funny. If you still eat your boogers, you're the right viewer for this show.Miserable...

madewithether If you are looking for a TV show with any shred of moral value, humility, or realistic premises... just move on and change the channel to something like Lifetime or maybe Bravo.Viva la Bam is a spin off of the show 'Jackass' starring Bam Margera. The show is lacking in self harm inflicting stunts and instead it focuses on Bam torturing his parents and his uncle.This show is pretty much pointless but it is funny as hell when you are watching from a totally neutral point of view. If you aren't looking to learn anything or be intellectually stimulated in any way sit down on the couch and allow the Viva la Bam theme song get permanently burned into your brain!!
