Watching as a kid: Hell yeah! Get him Bam! Watching as an adult: Oh man poor Phil, he seems like such a nice guy...
Tbh I think he's kinda down with it. Say what you want about bam, but he seems close with his parents. He probably wouldn't do this if they were really not ok with it. Edit: That last one was really messed up tho, maybe forget what I said.
normalize beating ur parents
Even as a kid I thought Bam was a massive prick.
No when I was younger I still felt bad for Phil
Crazy how time flies then we evaluate our views on things we watched as kids.
I remember being in High School on a Wednesday thinking “Phil is mowing his lawn today”
lol so funny
Just shows how much of a big family vibe everything had
How old is this show?
@@qhik1938 this? probably 15 years, at least, maybe older
@@MyMakija oh i guess that explains why ive never heard of it lol
Phil should wake Bam up every morning like that until he stays sober
Too late
@@penguin44ca it is not to late both parents should do that
Phil is that dad who doesn't care if you smoke, drink or have sex as long as you don't get in trouble
I don’t know I think Bam got in quite a bit of trouble
I'd say his parents went wrong somewhere.
@@keithglanville1394 Jess turned out fine. It was the rockstar lifestyle of being a pro skater and main Jackass member that sent Bam off the rails.
@@mr.awesome6011 there was a variety of factors. He became a millionaire in his 20s, became a stat, got on drugs, has mental health issues and a different crowd. They could have tried to influence him more as an adult but it was his choice and to be fair he wasn't that out of control until later on.
bam stated before that phil did all these things to bam when he was younger, now that phils getting older and fatter and bams getting more lean he does this as payback fun to his dad
anyone else is low key hoping that Phoenix grows up and beats up Bam the same way? that'd be like poetic justice, even more now that Bam is physically turning into Phil
I think in a weird way Bam would be proud of Phoenix if that’s the case
It would be the circle of life. I’m sure Bam would smile and say “That’s my boy”.
@@rockerdude725973 I agree. My Mommy is always nice.
@@rockerdude725973 bruh thatd be so cute lmaoo
I waiting for that to happen
Dude Phil is one of the coolest dudes on the planet
Long live Phil! Remember the Don't Feed Phil! campaign?
He seems like a chill guy. Makes me want to meet him and talk about old bam Margera stories 😂😂
Met him and Jess at creep records in west Chester a couple years ago for a cky record signing. He was dressed as Santa and you take a Christmas card photo with Phil and the band. How nice he is on tv is not even close to how great of a person he is.
mortis15001 That is so cool 😎 I think Bam used to do a Christmas 🎄 parade for the town back then.
Yeah he banging April aswell good work
"What are you, a jerk?" God bams mom is just the cutest woman in the world
Too pure
Yeah, she cracks me up.
Phil is so kindhearted, helped his son make it on MTV by playing along.
I initially thought Bam's mom was managing his money, because you know, mommy duties. But I was surprised it was Phil who did the financing
He’d have to be cuz I woulda been dropkicked the fuckin brat😂
@@rdu239 so ur sexist
yup, great job parenting.😅😅😅😅
Well, those Bam's tendencies for pranks have to come from somewhere
Imagine being friends with bam in high school. His house was always the place to go and his parents always treated you like one of their own.
@Nonya BiZz eh not everyone had friends lol.
Bam actually said he wasn't popular in school till he got sponsored and then all these fake people wanted to be his friend
I know it!!! Ape was so motherly and sweet and even if she blows up wigging out mad at bam, you know it's just gonna blow over lol Also Phil is a goddamned national treasure!!! I strive for his level of COOL, it's out of this world how calm and chill he stayed..
I had a friend like that and he reminded me of Bam
It's sad that kids this generation think of this as an anomaly, when everyone had friends like that
Dude, Phil had the patience of a saint throughout all of this. If I even _attempted_ anything that was here then my father would put me six feet under.
That’s not patience. That’s not doing your job as the head of the house.
@@Piwork69 with all the money he was raking in I’m pretty sure Bam was the head of the house lmao
I actually really wish they had disciplined Bam more. Now he as an alcoholic who refuses to take responsibility for his actions, things might have been different if they had punished Bam a bit more.
He was payed...duuuh.
@@Cookieboy70 all addicts don't take responsibility for their actions
Phil is actually a great guy and thanks to him managing Bam's finances, Bam is still very well off from his fortune he made. His parents enabled him a bit but they obviously love him a lot.
Seriously phil could've been a petty jerk and stole bams money but thankfully him and vito cared enough to make sure bam was ok financially.
a bit?
@@TheKorfish Crazy to think that a maniac like Vito was a tax genius
He's broke due to being a addict.
Bam still has decent money but he hasn't done any work for anyone in 10 years. He can't get hired in Hollywood anymore because he's unreliable, and he was crying about not getting that $5 million for JACKASS FOREVER that he needed for his son.
My favorite Phil line is "I'm gonna kick the camera outta your hand. How you like that? WAHOO!!!!"
Bam: *literally beats and attacks him* Phil: Bam, come on man, I gotta go to work.
Lol. An analogy , dress to work get another life beating heh
lmaooooo best coment
Ur gettin shoe polish all over my dunk.
@@Mike-zd8wq Come on, Bam, my balls look like plums. It’s too late to be gettin my dink sunked
@@Mike-zd8wq Baym c'mon Baym you know i don't got time fer that
This is what happens when you’re too nice as parents haha
your son become a multi millionaire and so do you
I'd beat that kid until kingdom come...thats what happens when their coddled
@@actuary33 thats how you create pieces of shit
@@percules94 spoiling them also creates pieces of shits
@@actuary33 you can discipline your kids without hitting them, that's abuse not discipline
I always loved when bam goes "were saving all the good grass so we can just put it back like nothing happened" and raab is just cracking up
His face at 3:22 makes me laugh so hard.
LMFAO Anyone else remember watching these pranks as a teen and thinking, "If I tried doing this to MY dad, he'd kill me" hahaha
I would have been 6 ft under 😂😂😂😂
@@quinnlynn2718 LMFAO Same!
@@PhatMon920 yep... I remember watching BAM and my brother and I would think about trying these on our parents 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly 💯
@Astro Jenkins so you would not respond if someone just ran up and started smackingg you? I would lose all respect for my dad if i could just run up and started smackingg him.
How many people here could never do this to their dad because they would rock your shit?? 🖐 anyone else??
My dad would literally punch me in the face lol
Facts
Especially him punching Phil in his sleep lol BRUH my dad would've woke up swinging and not cared who I was until I was on the ground
@@kz1000ps I might not have a dad anymore, because I've got my Puerto Rican brother, Marcos Rodríguez. He can still literally punch me in the face if I misbehave, though, whether he's in a very bad mood, not talking to me, or just teasing me, or all of the above.
@@kz1000ps Remember when I bit Marcos Rodríguez's toe last summer? It all happened when I heard him tease me by saying, "Top down low! Rick and Mortis, Rick and Mortis!". "Top Down Low" doesn't always sound like the same line from the Lil Mama song, "G-Slide", and "Rick and Mortis" doesn't always sound like the title of the [Adult Swim] original show, Rick and Morty. When I heard him tease me, I bit his huge toe, not only causing it to become swollen, but also causing Marcos Rodríguez to bite my huge toe, causing my toe on my right foot to become swollen.
This show was the shit back in the day...the good old days
Can't believe these are over 20 years old!
@@samanthab1923 I agree, Sheila. I agree.
rizzo69ca Really? Cool 😎 last time I saw Bam, his worst dream came true, he looked like Phil.
@rizzo69ca But this time, not with men anymore, because, even though more women becoming hip-hop stars, men who are still hip-hop stars can still follow suit. So, maybe it's a good idea to have women perform stunts? Maybe they can become stunt women, even during the reboot of Jackass that we want to have as of right now.
@rizzo69ca they were but covid stopped them dont know if they started up again yet
His parents are such nice people, maybe too nice.
Phil is seriously such a good sport. Great sense of humor even when he is the butt of the joke.
i bet they had a deal where phil got payed a nice amount per prank.
@@csmit04 most likely, especially when bam does pranks at their house also wasn’t phil’s likeness used in a tony hawk game back in the day? I’m sure he got paid for that too
@@csmit04i mean he got paid eventually. All this footage was just Bam filming for cky with his own money. Phill was just a good guy and knew how to handle a Chester rumble
I always thought it was hilarious that wholesome folks like Phil and April had a son like Bam. 😂
It seems wholesome can only last so long
No, they got exactly what they deserved by failing to control their kid.
@@Piwork69 they got fuckin paid. lol
@Ghost Heart you don’t know that
@@Piwork69 Exactly lol. Spoiled kid syndrome
Black, white, gay, straight, short, tall, etc. we all have one thing in common. We all loved Phil lol. Big dawg had a temperament that was literally god sent lol
Gay?
You're forgetting bisexual people.
@@mason3vze740 why not?
@@mason3vze740 oh no
@@LopThighsLol gay
You can tell bam is the love of Phil’s life there’s nothing stronger than fatherly love
You are absolutely right you can just tell the way he smiles. After every joke he loves his son so much.
@@calderonjacob9 Well too much love without an ounce of discipline can be dangerous. Look at Bam now?
Well Phil's an idiot..Bam never love him...if bam love his father even an ounce he will not do this even if its a skit...i would never do this to my dad even for money even if my dad in on it...i can even imagine doing this to my dad...
@@alonelypotato2788all the skits are pretty lighthearted.. Phils a big dude. Bam isnt a big dude. I cant imagine other than the pranks in the middle of the night, that any of it was really that bad for phil. He is laughing at the end of each prank. Probably laughing at how little he had to do to make millions.
@alonelypotato2788 nobody cares about you or your dad bro
0:28 I love how Bam just keeps swinging as he’s falling to the floor!😂😂
Lol he was in the zone of beating his dad up 😂😂😂😂😂
So bam just had a son... And bam is looking more and more like phil. So my theory is karma is going to be this exact moment 😂😂😂
My name is Phoenix and I feel like kicking my dads ass….ALL DAY TODAY 😂
Bam kind of deserves it anyway.
@@TheFallofTheEleventh I can't wait for that to happen
Doubt it
He looks way older than his dad though..
"I'm Bam Margera.... And i feel like kicking my dad's ass all day today" that for me brings so much MTV nostalgia and was the harbinger of crazy times to be had.
Major harbinger
Absolutely! Before everyone was offended by absolutely everything
Seriously, they used to play that clip ALL the time back in the day.
why are most american teens shit who don't honor their dad?
I’ve never met a more relaxed couple of parents in my entire life.
Phil Margera, the man with the patience of a saint.
The good ol days watching MTV before they put Ridiculously on 24/7. 😂
I agree but I'd rather watch ridiculous than teen Mom
@BitChute Is Better Than KZhead ridiculously is woke ? Lol gotdammit racist atleast make it make sense 😆
@BitChute Is Better Than KZhead i did and you Sound desperate
Its basically a generic version of tosh.0
Jersey shore-Teen Mom-Ridiculousnus pathetic Shit show’s...
Why are you digging a hole? Nostalgia 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that Phil always has a smile on his face during these is pretty damn aces. Good dad.
They sure must love this kid Imma kick the camers out his hand. Wha hoooo
such fucking disrespect from his son, and he just goes super mario
@@lalolandas9791 That may just be how they are, deep down he may have loved it, spending time with his son
It's hard to hate a child making you as much money as he did lol
There's a lot more behind the scenes you guys clearly the dad is in on it obviously his son is telling him hes going to make videos
Come on you guys the plunger that was definitely staged................ Anybody who thinks that wasn't staged between him and his dad you have to be 9 years old
4:30 RIP Ryan Dunn. Miss you random hero.
Ryan Dunn, you will be missed. 😥😥😥💙💙💙💔💔💔😿😭😭😭😭😢😓💔💔💔💔 Your iconic moments in the MTV show, Jackass, will still live on for many Jackass fans forever.
whats so heroic abour Ryan Dunn he had an accident and died.
@@SembrandoElTerror777 it was his nickname when he was alive
@@penske_material Thank you man now i get it!
2:14 "what are you, a jerk?" lmfao
The toilet slapping scene will forever be funny as hell to me
The thing I like about the bam/his dad clips is that i've always got the feeling that back in his day Phil could have beat the absolute living shit out of Bam and probably not even break a sweat :D
Men from those days were men tbh so I believe it too. You can just tell he was trying to be a rad dad for his sons rising fame
Same.. the way he carries himself sometimes, you can tell he was a tough sob. But he was just a cool ass dude. I always liked him.
@@aaronjoe3828 men are men ? That's not a definition of a man
He could have done it during this time even lol There's footage of Phil literally army pressing bam over his head
@@SimAlgyaxSaTun #carrying around that body weight makes you an absolute unit in terms of muscle strength. If Phil gave Bam a bear hug with all his upper body strength he would crack all of Bam's ribs
Phil is an absolute legend. RIP Dunn RIP Vito
It was Dunn's own fault
@@dontsellyourself6404 correct
RIP Boof
Wasn't Vito a sexual predator?
Yes, RIP drunk driver going 100mph+ in a Porsche, and RIP convicted pedophile sex offender.
I’m so glad I lived through this era love all these guys.
Phil's such a sweetheart
Seeing Phil run, my life is now officially complete!
Yeah, but not as complete as seeing Steve-O perform the best stunts on Jackass... 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒
The guy actually has some speed lol I was surprised
@@williampoole1742 phil was a unit back then even with his weight he could military press bam like he was a duffel bag full of helium
Phil seems like an awesome guy, he and April deserves better in life
They are absolutely in on this. I wouldn't feel too bad.
3:27 I always laughed so hard when he raises his hand in frame. April and Phil dealt with so much (and to this day) with Bam but man they kept their spirits quite high with being dealt a pretty rough hand with an overnight celebrity with a slew of personal problems.
0:21 hahaha😂 he smacked the shit out of
3:00 I love how April's response isn't "Phil could get hurt!" but instead "look what you're doing to the yard!".
4:25 that middle finger and smile... Phil seriously is the best person alive and we must protect him at ALL cost!
This feels nostalgic af, seeing Dunn that young still makes you fell a bit sad.
Sad part is these were actually the good old days of their father/son relationship. Hope Bam gets well.
I love how when April was told about the yard trap, she was just in a deep shock state for 15 seconds and then jumped to lawn concern without any care for Phils involvement in this.
After they revealed what they were planning, when April went quiet for those thew seconds, the look on her face gave me the impression that she was saying to herself "Actually, that sounds like a great idea." *LOL*
Phil is such a good sport, the lawnmower prank was funny but slapping and punching him just looks like abuse even if phil takes is well you shouldn't hit your parent like that.
Go back in time to 30 years ago and tell Bam not to do it.
@@PogeyMane lmao
I think it's come back around on Bam as he looks more like Phil with each passing day.
Seeing this now all grown vs as a kid is so different. I feel kinda bad for phil but man, back in the day I would be busting out laughing lmao
I actually got to meet Phil and take a picture with him when he was still working at acme. So down to earth. One of the nicest dudes I've ever met, real talk.
6:43 Yes Phil! Well done for finally getting Bam back. *LOL*
"What are you, a jerk?" 😂😂😂
0:56 "bye-bye camera! WAHOO! :D" i love phil lmao major props to him and april for their patience with their son's nonsense 😂 i can't help but feel a little bad watching this as an adult but it's still hilarious
God Bless his parents, Phil is awesome and April's reactions are adorable
He use to make fun of Phil for being fat. Look at Bam now. Karma!!
Phil was a real man. Bam is a depressed junkie rn who hasn’t accomplished anything in over a decade. He’s failed at restaurants and all his marriages too lol
@@romaretaylor9953 Bams been sober like 30 times in last 10 years. The guy is a complete fucking mess and relapses periodically, even with the best rehab and care. If you listen to his interviews he’s obviously suffered some legit brain damage, as he’s barely able to coherently speak anymore. I love Jackass, but out of all of them Bam is the biggest loser and I genuinely feel bad for his parents to have such a fuck up as a kid.
@@blakesking6615 Bam hasn't been the same since Dunn died. Even Novak sobered up before he did. I hope Bam gets help.
@@fhb3 i agree
@@blakesking6615 he is in no way a fuck up. Imagine the amount of joy he brought his parents by being famous. Bam just hasnt had the best conditions during retirement. Dunn's death affected him severely.
now that i’m older i can appreciate how pretty April is. Phil is punching hard, also just saw Ryan as i’m typing this so RIP
Dude... shame...
you should she pics of Ape when she was young. 🧨
I hope this guy gets the help he really needs, and don’t end up like his best friend! Rip🙏Ryan Dunn
They didnt show it on this one.. but the fireworks going off in his bedroom while he is asleep, and then again in his vehicle when he leaves for work had me on the floor. Or when he attacks his dad while he is on the toilet reading the paper.
"Jesus christ, bam!! I almost broke my leg comin out of the truck!!"
0:17 "What the hell was that?" Sounds like Peter Griffin 😂
Phil and April are the parents we all want but don’t deserve.
They failed as parents if you look at Bam tbh
Definitely notnthe ones you want
@@TheTranceCartel What about Bam's brother? He seems alright. Bam's issues are more the result of becoming famous so young, rather than a parental issue.
@@TheTranceCartel Bam is an adult who failed himself, they didn’t put the bottle in his hand and the coke up his nose, that’s on him
No thanks. You can have em
Even though this was in the early 2000's, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Will be a lifetime ago in a blink of an eye.
Miss these so much you can tell Phil loved Bam to partake in all these stunts
The way Bam fights Phil in the beginning is just 😂
I’m in tears!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's something about that one solid fist he drops on him followed by the stare that will always make me laugh lol
I always thought it was awesome how Phil took advantage of the hole and took Ryan Dunn on in a footrace. Rock on Phil!
XD
I miss theses days of jackass especially Phil's slow plunge into the tiger pit 🤣👌
1:07 yo I'm Bam and this is SUNKING Phil's head
Phil is such a good sport lol
literally a saint tbh, this is "funny" and entertaining because its on video. I loved this shit years ago when i was a teen, but jesus. Watching this shit now is depressing. Imagine your son literally picking on you and punching you and doing horrible shit to you, just for content.
@@razorbacks9034 i mean, they are listed as cast members and i think they got paid alot
@@jorgenschroen5440 That's not how it works...
When he painted the bananas blue
That was the greatest
They painted EVERYTHING blue 🤣🤣
Seeing news today about Bam made me miss watching him and his dad. This was the best part of jackass for me. His dad always smiled after getting his ass kicked lol
0:27 Best Move, hahahaha
😂😂😂 I love how honest Bam is with his mom about what's going to happen to Dad 🤣🤣🤣
2021: Hi I’m Bam Margera and I’ve officially turned into my uncle Vito
Bam's dad was never a pathetic alcoholic/drug addict
@@MrJabez89 Phil loved his alcohol back on the day
This was way funnier when I was younger, now I just feel bad for Phil... At the end when he tackles his son, and then bam starts punching Phil in the side of the head, killed the humour,
Phil, from South America we continue to love you.
Phil had the best sense of humor. That’s a good man right there. 🙏🏼💐🤣
"We're saving all the good grass so we can put it back and noone will even notice" that made me laugh so hard. 😆
No parent should have to go through this. I know they were very playful, but some of these things were just pure disrespectful man. Big ups to Bams dad for being a good sport even though deep down he wasn't pleased with most of these stunts and pranks.
Phil clearly thought the pie bit and the lawn bit were hilarious bud, not saying he didn’t have his limits tho
"I feel like kicking my dad's ass all day today" What a feeling 😂
Back when MTV had good stuff on tv
MTV in the early 2000s was still very watchable lol
@@jdog34505 this is from 2003-2005
@@gunterification no, jackass was on tv from 2000-2002. Viva la bam was 2003-2005
Wasn’t this mostly Cky not Mtv??
this was from like 2000 or 2001
0:57 - Super Mario Bros.
Pffff😂
Phil at the end is perfect 🤣🤣
From the first time I've watched this til now I laugh uncontrollably! Love it
Phil and April will always be my TV parents haha. Gotta love both of them.
0:45 always loved his little quote right there before that beat down LOL
Me too🤣
Lmao man these were the days back when me and my brother would be cracking. The hell up at 1 am watching viva la bam! Sad seeing bam struggle with addiction !! The guy was a sick skateboarder too
Greatest video ever made! 😂🤣💀 Can always rely on Bam to wear me out from laughter
His dad is so resilient that he can just WHALE on him and he always acts like barely anything happened. His dad, that man, is a beast that loves his kid.
To be honest at that point the most loving thing to do as a parent was to beat him up straight. Otherwise life puts everyone in his place.
@@pepincuatro2865 Agreed. I wouldn't be able to resist kicking his ass. lol
I love April she's so sweet 😊
A friend of the family used to work with Bam and apparently April complains that much off camera too
Well yeah she's rich😂
2:28 talk about karma, april
0:50 The way he said stop it
Mowing his lawn every wednesday, damn that's an american dream.
Imagine if Phil actually had decked Bam when he was younger. Perhaps things wouldn’t have been so tragic.
He probably did, and that's why he put up with everything
@@Trevor_M_F lmao
Bam was a multimillionaire Pro Skateboarder during that time.
What the actual fuck is this logic. Somehow abuse FIXES problems now?
Actually behind all of the chaos and hell he put his parents through in Jackass and Viva La Bam he actually was close with his parents, it wasn't until after Viva la bam where things started going downhill.
Dunn falling in the hole will ALWAYS make me LOL.
"Bye bye camera, wahoo!" he sounded like mario haha
_"waaawhooo!!"_ 👞👞
😂
It’s a me, philio!
It’s funny how Bam throws a lot of paper at phil while he was working 0:34 talk about a um you got more paper work to do
The best part in this is when April comes out to the yard and sees the big hole 😂😂 10/10 my mom would do the same.
Can we talk about how bams parents are actual Legends for allowing all this to happen while still having somewhat of a smile especially PHIL BIG OLE PHIL
Bam is the pioneer of the prank KZhead style video lmao
Tbh no youtuber will ever live up to what bam had done
