Jackass: The Restoration

Author

This show, despite being a huge pop culture icon, has not been treated very well over the years.

The DVD releases were heavily edited with music being changed everywhere and entire sketches being gone, each of the three volumes moreso resembling a “best of Jackass the TV show” compilation set.

Fortunately with Paramount+, the entire show was restored to its original TV format and is currently the best official way to watch the show. Surprisingly a lot of folks seemed to have overlooked this fact.

Unfortunately it’s not anywhere near perfect either, as pretty much every single music piece has been changed, the first episode not only uses the incorrect “Welcome to Jackass” intro, but is also missing the Willy Wonka parody montage. I haven’t gone through the entire series enough to determine if anything else is missing in that regard, but my guess is the music changing doesn’t improve at all.

I already have old TV rips of the show and if I were to be provided with rips from Paramount+ I could restore the show to its original form.

If interested, please let me know

It’s actually quite clear, similar to Beavis and Butthead, they straight up just used the original MTV masters because of various “flaws” in the quality and such, even at times I can hear the original song buried under the new song

Didn’t even realize the show was on Paramount+. Would be very interested in a ‘definitive’ release of this.

If you wanna know exactly what I’m up against, I’ll sum up the work done to the first episode alone

It required 9 different songs be restored and 3 instances of missing footage restored

Paramount/MTV truly did not give two shits about the episodes on their service

It’s fortunate the quality of the Paramount+ versions are better than the captures
