'Jackass 4: Bad Grandpa' Simmering at Paramount'Jackass 4: Bad Grandpa' Simmering at Paramount

It's part of the human condition that a man falling down, done properly, can be just as funny as the nimblest wordplay.  So while we might shake our heads and dismiss the idea of a man inside a fully loaded porta-potty propelled several hundred feet into the air via a massive slingshot, in practice it's undeniably and disgustingly funny.  To me, anyways.  Paramount Pictures knows this, and that's why there is likely another theatrical Jackass movie on the way, extending the MTV series-turned-improbable film franchise to four entries.

This next comedic collection of ridiculousness, bad taste, and stealth-cleverness will probably be titled Jackass: Bad Grandpa or some variation thereof.  We know this because, as reported by Fusible, on June 5th Paramount registered a bunch of domain names, all of which include Jackass, and many of which contain either 4 and/or Bad Grandpa

The studio has yet to officially announce any movement on a fourth Jackass, but domain registration is actually a pretty reliable indicator.  Way back in October of last year, for example, Sony's registration of Skyfall domain names gave away the title of the 23rd James Bond movie well before it was made official.  So while nothing is confirmed, the list of newly registered domains below makes another round of jackassery seem quite probable:

badgrampa-movie.com
badgrampa.com
badgrampamovie.com
badgrandpa-movie.com
jackass4badgrampa.com
jackass4badgrampamovie.com
jackass4badgrandpa.com
jackass4badgrandpamovie.com
jackass4movie.com
jackassbadgrampa.com
jackassbadgrampamovie.com
jackassbadgrandpa.com
jackassbadgrandpamovie.com

Bad Grandpa refers to Irving Zissman, a combative elderly fellow who is, in fact, lead jackass Johnny Knoxville in elaborate old man makeup.  Zissman, who has shown up in all three Jackass movies, goes to a very public place doing something wholly inappropriate, such as defecating, seemingly giving alcohol to a minor, or very lasciviously kissing a young woman who purports to be his granddaughter.  Passersby take note and hilarity ensues. 

To see a sample of Zissman's antics from Jackass: Number Two, see the not-safe-for-work video at the bottom of the page, which includes the confidently delivered but imbecilic rejoinder, "Yeah, we'll go around the block...We'll go around the block and see your mother."  To see a thoroughly NSFW sing-along to everyone's favorite Peaches song by Irving and critically-lauded director/Jackass producer Spike Jonze as old lady Gloria, click here.  Again, don't do that if you're easily offended or around anyone who is.  Seriously.

Plenty of people are probably appalled that this franchise could go to a fourth movie, but from Paramount's perspective, it makes perfect sense.  The comedies are very cheap to create, and the three previous installments have grossed more than $334 million globally, with each sequel making more than the last.  2010's Jackass 3-D actually earned more than the first two films combined.  Also, the stuff is funny. 

Presumably, series director Jeff Tremaine will be back, along Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Jason "Wee-Man" Acuna, Ehren "Danger Ehren" McGhehey, Bam Margera, and Margera's long-suffering parents, April and Phil.  The requisite weird celebrity cameos should be expected, too, with Rip Taylor once again happily dashing confetti about.  After his death in a car accident last year, Jackass: Bad Grandpa will lamentably have to do without Ryan Dunn.

Stay tuned for more updates on if and when the next Jackass can be expected at a theater near you.
