Viva La Bam The 2Nd And 3Rd Seasons
From Candid Camera to American Idol, American television viewers
appetite for watching other folks get embarrassed, humiliated, or worse at
the hands of both themselves and others never seems to wan e. How else
to explain the fact that MTVs Jackass, a show built on dangerous, painful,
and stupid stunts, could spawn not only a feature film but a spin-off like
Viva La Bam, issued here in a three-disc set compiling the shows fourth
and fifth seasons with extensive bonus material? This is classic MTV fare,
made by and for slackers, stoners, and skateboarders, the tattoo and
heavy metal crowd who get off on the kind of jejune, puerile behavior that
Bam Margera and his crew celebrate in every one of these 16 episodes. A
combination of The Tom Green Show, Paris Hiltons The Simple Life, and
the aforementioned Jackass, Viva La Bam is hardly what one would call
innocent, but its neither as cruel nor as mean-spirited as others of its ilk. It
focuses less on outrageous stunts than on Bams good-natured tormenting
of his family, including mother April (Ape), dad Phil, and especially uncle-
clown Don Vito (the latter two have a combined girth roughly equal to the
Earths circumference); in the two-parter that opens the f ourth season, for
instance, they follow Phil and Ape to Europe (later adventures take them to
Brazil, Mexico, Finland, and Russia), wreaking havoc everywhere they go
and pretty much living up to the stereotypical image of the boorish,
ignorant American abroad. There are guest appearances by rockers like
the Bloodhound Gang, Hanoi Rocks, HIM, the cartoonish Gwar, and even
Billy Idol, along with ace stunt bikers the Metal Mulisha, but unless your
idea of hilarity involves folks dumping food on one another (even better if
the dumpee is asleep), Viva La Bams appeal will be limited, to say the
least. On the other hand, folks who do enjoy that kind of thing should be
delighted. The third disc is comprised of over two hours of bonus material,
including deleted scenes and commentary by Bam and the gang. --Sam

very hilarious season, best being Where's Vito? speaking of which i have a
question on that. what is the song that plays when the hummer is falling.
not the song in the flashbacks. the song when the hummer was falling
sounded metal.
