For all their blatant immaturity, the crew over at Jackass has proven to be a continuing source of laughter. Having single-handedly turned home-video entertainment from the innocent platform founded on America’s Funniest Home Videos into the internet and television culture of “fails”, Johnny Knoxville and company capitalize on our desire to see other’s in pain. While Jackass 3D had it’s moments of “Oh dear lord, I do not want to watch that,” it also had moments of near-brilliance and undeniable hilarity.

With his latest project, Knoxville seems to be going down the Sacha Baron Cohan route and doing more of a “satirical” character than a disjunctive series of pain-inducing skits. How well this will work is someone hinted at from the trailer, as some moments seem pretty darn funny and others, not so much. Personally, I’ve always thought Knoxville’s Grandpa bit to be pretty hysterical but I still have my doubts of it working as a feature length film.

 Do you think Knoxville’s Irving Zisman and grandson Billy (Jackson Nicholl) will be able to sustain laughs for an entire movie?

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa is directed by Jeff Tremaine and stars Johnny Knoxville and Jackson Nicholl. It hits theaters on October 25.
