Careercow Brandon "Bam" Margera - From Jackass to Lolcow

How can anyone think Ryan Dunn's death caused anything? The "downfall" starts with this picture. Between age 19 and 23 he seems to have aged ten years. He looks like a completely different person in the gif - I have actually never even seen another picture of this man where he looks healthy.
Bam was obviously an entitled, angry, spiteful alcoholic with an Aaron Carter future long before Dunn died, but pretending that one way or another his death didn't impact Bam tremendously is retarded. The issue is that it isn't an excuse for going schizo on your entire support network of family who've carefully maintained your fortune & people act as if it is one.

We're not pretending that. There are nearly two hundred pages of us not pretending that. We shall continue to not pretend that until Bam dies, then maybe we can go over the subject properly, once, instead of a parade of new faces popping up here to go HEY GUISE I THINK RYAN'S DEATH SOMETHING SOMETHING LOL ad infi-fucking-nitum.

Let's just enjoy the spiral for now, yeah?

Anyway, there was a picture a page or so back where I could see a 'Nymphetamine' tattoo on Bam's arm—has he just gone through life tattooing band names/song titles/logos on himself, like a Year 9 kid's maths textbook? That Anathema mess on his neck is an atrocity, given that he clearly only likes that band because his Finnish bum chum is into them.

In a self fulfilling, placebo-ish way, sure. But we ALL have (or will have) had people close to us die, and not all of us turned into cryptid pieces of shit over it
 
Gross how long is that fat fuck gonna be in Colorado? He was at chatfield reservoir I’m pretty sure, (or cherry creek but I think it’s chatfield) and he shoulda got his ass beat at Denver skatepark 100% lol
I'd personally love him trying to skate in Denver a ton of teens out doing him and his melt down yelling how he's Bam and none of them know who he is watching his spirit break


The melt down showed me Steve O is a grifting pos and Jess is a lolcow himself. Maybe he can get the thread after his retard bro finally ODs

Lastly when bam played woodsman, you mother fuckers are acting like PA woods are death valley or something Jesus.

I camped two weeks ago (when bam was on the lam) just a sleeping bag and tarp. Survived fine. Sure him being a retard and drugged out ups risk but God damn were not Australia desert lol.
 
It's almost like they're doppelgangers, one struggled with his path, but found his way to the Light, but the other went the exact same route, but exact opposite choices and ended up going full Sith.

I've seen a bit of Steve-O's comedy, he's got pretty good insight to certain things. He had a pretty unusual life and he sells it pretty well, even the low points.

>TFW I want to shout "Say Hello to my Little Friend!"
>MFW I am Bam Margera
>Height 5'8" Weight 160 lbs.
>MFW I realize that I'm the "little friend" in my group

i don't think he is 5'8", i saw him on south street in philly back in the day and the man is SHORT, shorter than that, which is short for a man

Knoxville's about 5'11" (claims to be 6 foot, translates to 5'11" IRL) so I think 5'8" is accurate, perhpas 5'7" now he's old enough to have shrunk a bit (his unhealthy lifestyle's probably got his physical age to 60 so I feel confident in asserting that Bam has lost height).

sorry, i saw him in the early 00s and the man is shorter than me, a woman who is 5'7", there aint no way he is 5'8", i remember walking behind him and being annoyed at him and his entourage when i was just trying to get tater tots at tattooed mom's LMFAO.
 
nobody is saying dunn's death didn't affect bam, and you'd be an idiot to say otherwise considering he was bam's best friend. but you're being either willfully blind or disingenuous if you think that was what put bam over the edge to what he is now.
If anything, it didn't even affect him in the way people think it did. People like to say it was traumatic to lose his friend and that he had to confront his own mortality for the first time in his life. And some of that might be true. I would say however Dunns death effected him more in the sense that Bam lost his justification to be the way he was, and that is what really caused him to lose any control he had.

Novak made a great observation in that Vice documentary that addicts like Bam often use other addicts around them as a coping mechanism, often justifying their own behavior be saying they aren't as bad as their friends who have the real issues. That is what Bam did with Novak all those years, always saying that it was him who was really fucked up. He did the same thing with Dunn.

When Novak started cleaning up his life and Dunn lost his, Bam became enraged because he lost all argumentation that he wasn't the fucked up one of his friend group. Suddenly he could no longer justify his own behavior. It is why to this day he is so butthurt about Novak getting his act together: he proved that it could be done and that Bam didn't have an excuse for why he was the way he was.
