Paparelli's rating:
(0 = worst, **** = best)On one hand I can understand and even somewhat relate to the boyish humor that drives these guys to go one step further all the time, but... on the other hand these guys must be on the brink of insanity to actually do all this stuff.
Being a former professional video editor I was constantly watching for signs that they were faking some of the stuff they did, but even then: the things that must be for real are serious enough.
I remember when in high school there were some guys who made a sport of testing the teacher's patience. They also used to get into this daring routine, pushing each other's limits to what they would do to mess up a class. The feeling I had with these kids in class is very similar to the feeling I had when watching Jackass 2.
Some perverted sense of curiosity made it impossible not to watch, while at the same time I felt so relieved that it wasn't me having to go through all that and face the consequences.
