Jackass Number Two: Gayer Than Ever!

Nice bruise, Johnny.

Yes, by now Johnny Knoxville’s been on every gay magazine cover in the world, and the homo content of the Jackass series and first movie have been discussed ad infinitum. But just so you know for sure how really gay Jackass Number Two, which opens in theaters tomorrow is, you can check out this fun review on AfterElton.com.

The film involves dildos, anal pentration, penis tugging, skin on skin man contact, and lots, lots more. Plus, it’s got cameos by gay icons Rip Taylor and John Waters, Steve-O in his thong, Johnny Knoxville just looking dastardly and handsome and without any barriers to what he’ll do. HOT, indeed.

But this movie's so gay (if you can appreciate the sublimely juvenille humor; if can’t don’t even bother), that even the non-gay movie website, CHUD (Cinematic Happenings Under Development) devotes a large part of its Jackass Number 2 review to the film’s queer content, saying:


The gayness is maybe the most fascinating subtext to the whole Jackass phenomenon – it reflects the standard homoeroticism that comes up in any group of guy friends, but magnified a thousandfold. In one of the first stunts perennially nude Jackass Chris Pontius makes a little mouse outfit for his penis, and he inserts it into a tank featuring an angry snake to see if it will bite. There’s a certain level of gayness inherent in the whole Jackass group standing around looking at this, but of course everything gets taken to the next level – in this case Knoxville ties a string around Pontius’ cock and makes it dance for the snake. In another stunt Bam gets a dick-molded dildo rammed up his ass at high speed. In a bit that plays over the end credits and hosted by gay icon John Waters, Wee Man gets jumped on by a buck naked Preston Lacy, finally consummated the fat man and little guy sexual tension of the last six years. Obviously the gayness of many of these stunts is part of the joke, but I have to wonder if one drunken night Dunn and Bam found themselves entangled together, passionately making out.

Anyway... Here are a slew of pics to tempt. Got to JackassMovie.com and click around. Videos abound. And yes, there’s the weird fake gay cruise ad that both pokes of gay cruises (which are pretty ripe for satire) and straight guys’ discomfort and humor in being used to advertise them. Bottom line: We’re in on the joke.

Here’s (to) Johnny!

Er... This doesn't look good.

Oh, to be an anaconda and wrestle with Johnny Knoxville in a ballroom...

Bam learns how in today's world, it's all about branding.

And yes, there are musical numbers! Gay, gay, gay!

But really, don’t try this stuff at home.
Except for the thong-dancing...
