"PANIC" on MTV show "Jackass"
posted by davidt on Wednesday April 18 2001, @09:00AM

 Lots of people saw this one. gibby was the first:

On tonight's episode of Jackass (Apr. 15), they played "Panic" whilst Bam Margera rollerbladed around London, on the streets and the subway, wearing Union Jack underpants and tank top, falling around, screaming, pulling his pants down, and so on.... amazing.

Tonight I was doing my studies while the sadistic MTV show Jackass playing in the background. I surprisingly heard the very familiar opening chords of "Panic" begin. It played as the soundtrack to a segment which featured one of the show's participants dressed in a scanty Union Jack outfit, clumsily rollerskating about in the subways (or tube, I suppose) and streets of London. Nearly the entire song was played without an interuption through the whole segment and it actually seemed to fit in appropriately. Some fine exposure to any late night television viewer.

(Jackass was started by director Spike Jonze and a bunch of skater friends. From my experience with that specific demographic, the Smiths and Morrissey are ranked as a favorite among those who skateboard. Much respect to those with superior taste in the finer things in life.)

    The fellow rollerblading is not Bam Margera. His name is Chris Pontius

      Spike Jonze wasn't involved in the creation of jackass. The jackasses at Big Brother magazine and the jackasses in Philadelphia who produced the landspeed and CY2K videos are the ones who created jackass. There are only 2 cast members who actually skateboard, the midget, Pancho Moller, and Bam Margera. Most skaters don't know and couldn't care less about who Morrissey is. Sorry, just wanted to correct that side note.

      Dear Jim,

      Glenn and I were planning on farting to the tune of "handsome devil" while trolleying around London. That jackass stole our idea!!!!

      Sincerely,

        So they played one Smiths song?
        Am I supposed to kiss MTV execs fat butts now?
        Kill mtv!
        It became a garbage pit!
        No videos of Billy (Idol), Iggy, Tori, Moz for centuries..
        Instead we are being fed some subhuman shows like Dumbass, Real World, animalistic upper-middle-income horny College Students giving America a bad name on Springbreaks by being dumb like shit or whatever...

            I actually ran into him one time at LAX. He was waiting for his driver to pick him up. Tall guy and yes good looking but there's something very unattractive about a man that's been covered in poo.
