Sure, stars like Eminem , Miley Cyrus , and Jay-Z have all benefitted from having their music videos featured on the network, but the truth is that MTV has undergone a ton of changes throughout the years, choosing to shift their focus away from music.
During the s, Bam Margera was a mainstay on the network, and over time, he would appear in several hit shows that left a lasting impression on the generation that enjoyed them. Among those shows was Viva La Bam , which focused on Bam and his group of friends and their hijinks. This means that the show was going to heavily rely on hilarious stunts and over-the-top hijinks to keep viewers coming back for more.
Prior to the show launching, Jackass had been a monumental success for the network. Viva La Bam was another hit for MTV, and it did wonders for turning Bam and his friends into even bigger stars than they were before.
The show was always willing to push things to the limit, which raised questions about just how real the show was. A ; that he was fraudulently induced and coerced into signing his talent agreement with Paramount he was not, infra at II. B ; that he complied with the Wellness Program he breached it, infra at II. D ; and that he was terminated for taking Adderall, which he claims was prescribed for him it was not—he admitted that he bought it off the street—infra at II. Fired from J ackass Forever in August because of a violation of the self-described Wellness Agreement that was mutually agreed upon to keep Margera on the straight and narrow, the Jackass OG hit back with a multi-million dollar and movie shuttering claim complaint a couple of months ago.
Picking on his friends, dad, and mom. Sure its "All in fun" but if anything was ever done too him "Its pay back". So he's a bully thats comes off as a fake rebel. With a fashioncore attitude and "Fake rebellion". This show should be great with teenagers , living at home with their parents. Ungrateful for life and anything given to them. Viva la Bam is poorly written and pretends to be random and crazy! MTV is a generation destroyer. You'll be unique" yeah Idiotic show fcueto 20 November I've watched Jackass quite a few times and I find it moderately funny on average.
However, Viva la Bam, an "extension" of Jackass, is pretty lame and retarded. It isn't funny at all It was a funny and inventive show with unique concept. And I liked Bam, his parents and his friends as characters. The first season was strong overall, but it already hinted at the problem the show has: It's just very repetitive.
There are only so many things you can do with this kind of reality concept, and it doesn't hold your attention anymore, once you've seen several episodes. When the show started, I was puzzled about whether the show was "acted" or if it was all for real.
I think it's obvious by now that Viva La Bam is indeed a scripted and acted show. Reactions often seem forced, and the more you watch the show, the easier it is to see all the seams. All in all it's a pretty good show, but I can't get excited about it anymore. It's too repetitive, and has very little replay value. Hopefully Bam will move on the other things soon, because Viva La Bam is getting a bit stale.
TheRich 28 May This, without any doubt, is the greatest spin off to Jackass ever made, hell, it even blows Jackass out of the water. Picture this: You have a group of guys who just didn't want to grow up, throw in a ton of money, and some seriously cool stunts, and you have Viva La Bam.
This show, it's such a family-based one, and it's not just "the gang" running around being complete jerks like in Jackass. For example: Bam's parents, April and Phil, are in every episode, with appearances of Bam's obese uncle, Don Vito to boot! The reason why the Margera family makes us laugh is simple: Somebody in our family can relate. April: The woman who wants to live life by the book and follow tradition. Phil: The guy who tries to be a good father, and finally, Bam: That son that never grew out of high school.
The pranks and jokes in every episode will give you a guaranteed laugh, and buying the DVDs is definitely recommended! Another thing which is surprising to see, is how casual Margera is over the whole thing. He's said in interviews that for the majority of episodes, he isn't acting, and is just acting off instinct. What I liked the most about the whole thing, however, is the amount of influence Margera has over MTV.
He wanted Slayer to play in his backyard, MTV did it. He wanted to hang with Dani Filth for a day and have a Cradle Of Filth concert in his backyard, it happened. Add to this his passion for the love-metal and debated as emo band H. M and his brother's garage band CKY, and there's a whole lot of head banging going on. If you liked Jackass, you'll fall in love with this.
You will not be disappointed, and I can promise you'll be in stitches by the end of it all! Mojnmand 31 July This is by far the worst and most stupid show I have ever seen on TV. It is almost physically painful to watch an adult well in his twenties doing nothing but torture and mock his parents, who always seem to have no clue what so ever about the stunts they are forced to endure by their dimwitted son and his equally stupid friends.
Of course I know his parents are in on it, but I really hate how they always act like they are caught completely by surprise. It seems fake through and through. Bam is really a hell raiser - living at home with mum and dad! Bam is the real deal rebel - at least in his own eyes. Of course Bam and his posse of numb sculls aim at an audience of teenage boys, and of course it's a MTV show, but please, raise the bar a little. It's painfully predictable and stupid, and therefore nothing but boring.
