Careercow Brandon "Bam" Margera - From Jackass to Lolcow

[Tootsie Bear]

New video where Steve-O confirms Bam is in treatment. Who knows? Maybe Bam will finally get himself clean. But even if look like he's born again, soon enough he'll be hanging out with the wrong people and it'll spiral out of control.

 

[Barbarus]

To kill his habit, he will have to kill off his hangarounds and push for more seclusion from the events and parties he gets involved in. I can see him getting clean again for a bit, but he is a creature of habit and he is gonna eventually wind up at those parties getting around the same crowd again. You have various druggies and dealers around him who will contact him and try and get around him for the clout as soon as he is free. So I don't see things going the way of Steve O

He will also have to dump his groupie crack ho wife too.

She hitched aboard just as he was going full steam with the drugs and alcohol. (In fact she was a former hooker with a coke problem working at a sex shop when they met)

I’ve always assumed the reason she’s enabled him to an extreme degree is she knows he will dump her if he gets sober for real. She’s the stereotypical trashy chick you end up with thanks to years of addiction and partying. The fact he married and had a kid with her is just shows how fucked Bam’s brain is. He was a millionaire but married a cheap whore from Petaluma who used to have a pimp. Boy decided the gutter was a place to find a wife.

I’m sure Bam’s parents loath her, but until Bam gets sober they have to play nice since she has held sway over Bam for many years and is basically his most skilled babysitter/ enabler.

Make no mistake, Nikki is an addict too but any addict next to Bam will look like a pillar of sobriety.

 

[Barbarus]

Yeah, nikki was included, only way he is getting free is not being in control of himself on getting out of the drug house. If Phil and April take care of him he would be set but whatever things are put in place bam will go against it in the end and go full circle, AFAIAA the reason he got into cky stunt shit was because he was a wild skaterboi

 

[break these cuffs]

The sad thing is I've been pretty close to where he is. Not the being rich and famous surrounded by sycophants part, but so deep into alcoholism that you literally go insane. The reason he looks so drained and pathetic is because his body is currently screaming at him that he is dying, this is also why he coughs so much. I can't explain it but when you are that deep into it you are always coughing, you're not eating much, I'd be surprised if he is drinking much water, his piss is probably the color of diarrhea by now.

All that stuff with the striggoli or whatever the fuck it's called, that's a perfect example of a man who has actually pickled his brain in liquor, which also has the side effect of making one extremely confrontational for no reason. I would not be surprised if he's put his fist through a wall in his home, threatened his wife, etc. See the mindset of the alcoholic - or booze junkie - is that you feel like you're on a different wavelength than everybody else. He is also at the point where he thinks he's outsmarted everyone and is hiding it beneath fistfuls of pills and probably coke. The cool thing about booze is that if you drink too much it has a self-regulating effect of making you feel like shit. But if you start mixing in pills and uppers to chase the hangovers away, you get the feeling you've figured out some secret system nobody else has, which coupled wtith the innate "you know what YOUR problem is?" attitude of the drunk has you lashing out at the world. This is also the zone where people overdose.
I bet if you met Bam in person right now, his hands would be shaking. The handwriting on those weird threatening Instagram drawings is like a toddler, which may be why he invented his own dumb gay handwriting so nobody can tell.

EDIT:
I mean just look at his fucking handwriting here on "tackle box repair" lol

Are those sores all over her legs?

Sunday is the 10 year anniversary of Dunn's death. I wonder if we'll hear anything from Bam about it, or if he'll be too deep in rehab to make a post.

It must be such a fucking head trip, having to drag your dirty pig of a son away from gutter self destruction when he made his entire career publicly mocking, assaulting, and terrorizing you. And the whole time your son calls you by your first name, which is incredibly disrespectful. And yet they always took it with a sense of humor. These two are absolute saints.

They will have an inspirational post ready to go showcasing a photo of Bam in 2004 for the death-averisary

Easiest way to tell Bam is in rehab is the posting motivational memes with good boy photos.

Novak is hungry to get him into the rehab spokesman/motivational speaker circuit.

 

[Yeeted Teet]

The "legal layer" Steve-O mentioned makes it sound like he's he's been involuntarily committed so he can't leave rehab after three days when he gets bored, again. The fact that he hasn't appeared in any more TikToks with cheap strippers and his mum is posting old pictures with inspirational quotes on his IG seems to confirm that.

Also, this is old but it hasn't been posted here and and you can't trust reddit to keep things up.

Spoiler: Bam's adventures in Florida

They are good people, but clearly shitty parents.

Steve-O wears a fucking FitBit. Let that sink in for a moment.

hope you're able to find a way out of your struggle.

The thing about Bam is, he won't get better because he's surrounded with bad people doing bad things. I'm not saying the fault is on others, but when your brain is literally mush, hanging around barely literate people who only think about partying as some sort of demented teenager stuck on a time loop is... well, not good.

Remember the reddit post from a person saying Bam crashed on their couch and then some minutes later he was out in their yard fist fighting randos? Yeah. This is the kind of shit he likes, and there's no son, no mom and dad and no money in this world capable of making you stop when you're hellbent about ruining your own life with drugs and in company of bad people.

Imho that's unfair. They may be too enabling but it doesn't make them shitty parents. Also Bam's brother turned out to be fine.

 

[Nobody6777]

I like Bam. I hope he gets the help he needs. His poor parents must be worried all the time

 

[Chicken Neck Nelly]

When you enable your child for decades to the point where he is in his 40s walking around like a homeless person drinking with randoms outside a gas station, then yeah, you're a shitty parent. They clearly did not enforce any sort of discipline or boundaries throughout his entire life. I have actually known families like this, where the parents are affable people who everyone likes to spend time with but their kids are spoiled turds that needed a good smack.

It is possible to be nice and to be a bad parent, bad parenting is not just some cartoonish angry and abusive caricature you see in afterschool teen dramas. They clearly did not provide Bam with the skills to succeed in life and to function normally in society, hence they did a piss poor job of being parents to him, I don't see what's to debate here. And I fail to see how wanting to shove your cock inside his mom makes her a good parent.

Are you OK? I don't even have a cock

Phil and April Margera were likely just the typical overindulgent boomer parents: good people who mean well but should have put their foot down when he was hanging out with skateboarders. They tolerated it because he got rich off of it at a young age but he ended up a broke drug addict with a druggie groupie for a wife.

I agree. We look at the end result of Bam being a loser but Phil and April weren't horrible. Sure they could have put their foot down and forced Bam to better himself when Jackass was over and he had to go back being Brandon, not Bam. Unfortunately Bam never matured, the friends who could have helped him abandoned him and now Bam resembles his obese alcoholic uncle, Vito, and is surrounded by enablers who kiss his ass because he was the pretty goth boy skater who beat his father up on T.V.

Not sure if this got posted earlier, but since we are a decade past Dunn's death, here's the tribute they did for him, which funnily enough offers a lot of insight into Bam's upbringing as well.
