Careercow Brandon "Bam" Margera - From Jackass to Lolcow

[Ultraman Orb Dark]

For comparison, here's Tony Hawk (someone over a decade older than Bam) today.

Sam getting into the washed up celebrity game!

Next up, Randy Quaid.

Just wait until Bam gets on Celebrity Big Brother.

Bam needs a new show called "How Is This Retard Alive?" It does feature dangerous acts like jackass, but it's just Bam during retarded shit to almost get himself killed like overdosing on heroine or passing out and falling out of a moving car traveling down the highway. And of course every time he'll survive it and just look at the camera that same creepy psychotic smile that tells you there's no soul left.

Pretty sure Keith Richards already has a show like that. He was just too high to pitch it to a network.

 

[TeaBaggins]

He did have a really rich family. He’s worth more off inheritance than his career,

That's true. Steve-O has a lot more going for him. Bam comes off more as some sad middle aged man having some midlife crisis where he thinks he's still cool like he was in his younger days. It's embarrassing.

 

[Rancid Xylitol]

He's gone already, and he didn't do anything that would tarnish his standing with Hawk or what have you.

That's because he can't stay sober for any length of time and probably Sam doesn't want him mainlining heroin or sniffing random powders on cam all day.

He'll go back to the usual haze he lives his life in now. I wonder what tabloid he'll show up in next?

I know we are all quick to shit on Bam but damn dude he had a weird life. Got big doing skateboarding, MTV just throws millions of dollars at him when he is just a kid and the purpose of the money is literally just to be a trash person causing chaos....I mean...it sucks for him honestly. I saw an interview where he was talking about how much they gave him per episode for Viva La Bam, and he basically said he built a whole skate park and hired Metallica to play just to spend the money.

Bam had it all: money, fame, wife, kids, but it seems like he just wants to be a degenerate. It's very tiring to observe, especially as someone who has not been nearly as blessed. And this is not even jealousy, I can't be jealous of an alcoholic and drug abuser, that shit's miserable.

 

[The handsome tard]

He looks more and more like his dad each day.

Except not as funny or lovable.

"Gorilla": *attacks*
Phil: Time to take a mean shit *goes to the bathroom*

He stole the show

Bam lived the dream every kid in the 90's and 2000's wanted, to make a living off their skateboarding. And he blew it but his parents are hardly innocent in this matter as they, even before the fame, rarely told him no. His parents were his buddies he could openly disrespect rather than his, you know, PARENTS.

I always thought his parents were playing characters and it was all exaggerated and that Bam was actually a great son behind the scenes but he really was a shithead and they were enablers.

Poor kid Bam was screwed from the start.

Bam is now on Sam Hyde's Fishtank

Ok I can't be the only one who initially saw the "Former Jackass star Bam Magera..." feature and instantly thought that he finally drank himself to death or OD'd. He looks like absolute dog shit, and it's really just sad.

 

[Noble Redditor]

Bam has been hanging out with another pro skater Wekcingball recently. I don't know much about his career but I follow him because he used to work with Sam.

I'm almost positive Weck was the link between Bam and Sam. Something funny I saw was the same day Bam showed up on Fishtank, Weck was invited to be on Jay Dyers podcast. Jay is also friends with Sam but he and Bam have never worked together or followed each other. I think Sam made some type of deal with Weck and basically "traded" Bam for Jay.

If you go through the Bam thread here. You can see it's sooo much worse than him not knowing his age. He went from good friend to the worst possible outcome.

EDIT: I clicked on this happening thinking it was in Sam Hyde's thread not realizing I linked back to the beginning. I R RETARD.

Damn this is just sad now, I had a British friend that used to do Jackass type stunts that met up with him in around 2017 to do a few stunts and he showed me some of the videos of him with Bam and Zach that would eventually end up in Jackass 4. He seemed pretty bad back then but definitley salvagable, just a little overweight and haggard, he's just a junkie now. Wish someone could have done something back then, I know they tried their best, but he's been on a narcissistic spiral since 2011.
At least he's leaving his house and not drinking all day, I guess...

Hope ol' Phildo and APE think it's still worth it to be their failson's best friend.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

For comparison, here's Tony Hawk (someone over a decade older than Bam) today.

This will sound like old man or fatass cope (I'm neither) but Bam doesn't really look any different from an ordinary person I see around town. Tony Hawk is also 1.91m tall.

From what he used to be it's a stark change.

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

I think the only person who has any chance of cleaning up Bam would be DDP who's wheelhouse is rehabbing wrestlers especially trainwrecks like Scott Hall and Jake Roberts with success.

 

[I'm Retarded?]

that's Bam Margera? holy fucking SHIT

I used to watch Jackass back when it originally aired. this is how I will always remember him



he really fucking ruined himself. but honestly, you could see it coming even back then. it's not really a surprise, just sad.

 

[A Sentient Cloud]

Bam had it all: money, fame, wife, kids, but it seems like he just wants to be a degenerate.

He had the first two things. The wife and the (one) kid didn’t come until well after his issues started.

Excited for the thread tourists to take off so we can get back to talking about how Bam is doing now and not where he was a couple years ago.

He kinda looks like Josh.

 

[Justanotherguy]

Well if anyone would make a good “Shark”’on Fishtank it is Bam.

One of the Fish (while blindfolded) thought Bam smelled like a “woman” with “gypsy perfume.”

Not going to lie, I think this is pretty cool. I am so happy for the progress Bam has made in his life and I hope he keeps it up. This is a win for both Sam and Bam.
