Wildboyz is an American television series which debuted in 2003 onMTV and moved toMTV2 in its third season. It is a spin-off and follow-up toJackass. The show starsSteve-O,Chris Pontius,Jason "Wee Man" Acuña,Preston Lacy,Ehren McGhehey andDave England, who performstunts and acts with animals, often putting themselves in situations for which they are not trained.

Wildboyz follows the antics of mainly Chris Pontius and Steve-O along with Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGhehey and Dave England as they travel around the globe. Over the course of 4 seasons, Pontius and Steve-O traveled to 19 different locations. At each location, the pair would interact with the wild and learn the culture of the natives. Some of their antics include dressing up and running with the animals they encounter, subjecting themselves to the defense mechanisms of the animals, and eating the food of the local people.

The dangerous nature of the stunts go beyond that of eitherJackass or another similar spin-off,Viva La Bam. In the course of the show, Steve-O purposely subjected himself to the relatively mild sting of theemperor scorpion on more than one occasion, and Pontius was nearly attacked by a jaguar and was bitten by ablack bear. One of their most dangerous stunts showed the boys attracting agreat white shark while disguised as seals, then jumping into the open water just 10m away. Another stunt included dangling meat attached to a hammock to attract lions. In yet another dangerous stunt, the pair dressed up as fake zebras to try to lure lions. The supposed sport of "hyena football" also made its debut, which in its earliest form was nothing more than a game of keep-away with a pack of spotted hyenas, using smoked ham as a ball. The "sport", according to its founders, "deserves Olympic status".

Some of the scenes were intentionally mislabeled for dramatization, as many of the animals used were from a company called Hollywood Animals.^[1]

Several members of theJackass cast and crew contributed assistance to the show. The director ofJackass,Jeff Tremaine, served as director and executive producer ofWildboyz. Cameramen Dimitry Elyashkevich andRick Kosick also continued to work alongside Tremaine onWildboyz.Manny Puig, a wild animal expert who appeared onJackass several times, occasionally joined theWildboyz on their adventures. FellowJackass cast membersJohnny Knoxville,Wee Man and Loomis Fall also made guest appearances on the show throughout all four seasons.

The show ended in 2006, after four seasons. Steve-O later wrote in his memoir that "Wildboyz probably could've kept going after Season 4. It just didn't seem like there was a point. Over time, it had essentially evolved back intoJackass. During our final trip to Russia there were no stunts that wouldn't have fit in just as easily onJackass.Johnny Knoxville came along on that trip too, which contributed even more to that vibe."^[1] Though no proper series finale was created, the concept ofWildboyz was somewhat revisited duringJackass Number Two, which was filmed afterWildboyz had ended. DirectorJeff Tremaine says, "We shot some of the most amazing stuff [forWildboyz] we've ever made. And so one of the ideas withNumber Two was to recreate some of the best things we ever shot forWildboyz. Unfortunately, it didn't always work out."

• "The Fish Hook" sketch inJackass Number Two featuredWildboyz stars Pontius, Steve-O and frequent collaboratorManny Puig, fishing for sharks in theGulf of Mexico. The sketch involved Pontius fishing with Steve-O as his bait, and in order to attach himself to Pontius' fishing line, Steve-O put a fish hook through his cheek. The sketch ended after Steve-O kicked amako shark in the head. During the commentary forJackass Number Two, cameraman Dimitry Elyashkevich jokingly called the sketch "Wildboyz: The Movie!".
• The "How to Milk a Horse" sketch was in fact filmed forWildboyz, according to Jeff Tremaine in the director's commentary for the DVD release, but due to its explicit content (Steve-O, Pontius, and Knoxville obtained a sperm sample from a studded horse, which Pontius proceeded to drink), Tremaine said that it would never have aired on MTV.

Additional footage captured during the filming ofJackass Number Two also followed aWildboyz-style format. These sketches can be seen inJackass 2.5:

• A balloon is placed between Steve-O's butt and is popped by the bite of aneastern diamondback rattlesnake.
• Chris Pontius is bitten on the nose by asnapping turtle in a scene identical to one filmed forWildboyz.
• Wee Man runs through the streets of India with dozens of other short men all dressed in blue with orange wigs, chasingPreston Lacy, and vice versa.
• Steve-O drinks beer off the fingernails ofShridhar Chillal, an Indian man alleged to have the longest fingernails in the world. Steve-O throws up repeatedly, upsetting the many Indian actresses on set.
• One sketch was designed to display all Indian stereotypes in one scene. After much searching for a talent to perform this skit,Ehren McGhehey agrees reluctantly. He lies on abed of nails wearing a turban with a cobra in a basket on his chest. He is surrounded by Indiansnake charmers, a painted elephant, andWildboyz stars Pontius and Steve-O.
• In a sketch dubbed by director Jeff Tremaine to be "the ultimate failed bit,"Jackass stars Chris Pontius, Steve-O, andDave England visit theAghori tribe of India. The tribe disturbs the actors and the sketch fails.
• A sketch where Johnny Knoxville gets a prostate exam in Russia was originally shot forWildboyz, but it was never shown on TV and instead was put inJackass 2.5.

Sketches similar toWildboyz inJackass 3D include:

• Dave England and Steve-O playingtetherball with a beehive.
• Chris Pontius' chin being dressed up as abarbarian while he's "battling" scorpions.

Other sketches inJackass 3.5 similar toWildboyz include:

• Steve-O getting bitten on the buttocks by analligator snapping turtle. Steve-O claimed numerous times throughoutWildboyz his dislike for alligator snapping turtles. Once the turtle bit, it refused to let go as Steve-O screamed and writhed in pain.
• During the filming ofJackass 3D, Jeff Tremaine discussed a scene he shot forWildboyz, in which Steve-O and Chris Pontius wore a two-person llama costume, and an actual llama with an erection attempted to mate with the costume. Tremaine claimed that seeing Steve-O, the bottom half, being "raped" by the llama was "the funniest thing he had ever filmed." TheJackass crew made an unsuccessful attempt to replicate this with a donkey and a costume of one with clearly defined orifices. Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville wore the costume. Even after coating the orifices with female donkey urine, the donkey failed to become aroused. The same donkey suit makes acameo appearance during the end credits of the 2012Girl &Chocolate skateboard moviePretty Sweet.

Sketches inJackass Forever similar toWildboyz include:

• At the end of the opening sequence ofJackass Forever, Chris Pontius gets bitten on his penis by a snapping turtle.
• Steve-O putting aqueen bee around his penis. A lot of other bees then latch onto and sting his penis.
• New cast member Sean "Poopies" McInerney attempting to kiss aTexas rat snake.
• Ehren McGhehey getting his nipple bit by atarantula.
• New cast member Rachel Wolfson getting a botox injection by a scorpion.
• Avulture eating pieces of meat off of Wee Man's body as he is tied to the ground, while Chris Pontius and Steve-O are worshiping the vulture. This skit is similar to the "sarcophilus satanicus" skit fromWildboyz.
• Chris Pontius drinking pig semen and Dave England unsuspectingly getting it poured over him.

Sketches inJackass 4.5 similar toWildboyz include:

• Ehren McGhehey and Wee Man standing in a see-through tub with anelectric eel. Wee Man then puts a key in Ehren's ass and touches the electric eel.
