Careercow Brandon "Bam" Margera - From Jackass to Lolcow

[Jack Awful]

"Whatever the fuck I want!"

*Steps off a skyscraper*
It's a great metaphor.

 

[Probably An Autist]

“Is Butterbean okay?” Greatest line uttered in the show’s history.

Hilarious quips like that proved Knoxville was more than a glorified stuntman and was a genuinely funny dude. Out of all the Jackass crew, Knoxville was always the coolest of the lot. Never appeared to be playing up to the camera being a try hard. Steve-o (since becoming clean) has the same vibe even though i think he's a bit of a wanker.

I want Bam to get well, this thread depresses me. He's such a degenerate at the moment and as much of a cunt as he is no one really deserves to be like that. Probably one of the saddest threads on KF.

Just by reading that Reddit thread about Bam's last party, I felt second hand nausea. Getting THAT fucked up daily must be absolute hell. Just... man. I've had hangovers that almost killed me on the spot, the type that makes you stop drinking for long periods of time before putting a single drop of alcohol inside you again. Yeah, getting drunk/high is a pretty nice feeling but the comedown is rough on the body and usually comes with lots of puke, headaches, general uneasiness.

Yeah, Bam is an addict, therefore he doesn't give a shit. But I'm sitting here just imagining how he actually feels day to day. He must be so uncomfortable all the time, I don't even think he remembers what being (even somewhat) healthy feels like anymore. And he's only 41. My fucking 78 year old grandpa with kidney issues and diabetes is healthier than him.

Whatever Bam's body is going through must make AIDs seem like Disney Land. I'm only 33, and if I partied like him for one night I'd be out of commission for a few days (and I love drinking). I guess the meth helps keep the party going, and helps ignore the hangover.

NOT getting that fucked up makes him feel a lot worse. He’s obviously hit the point long ago that he feels like a miserable pile of shit if he’s sober. If Bam even gets hangovers he can cure them quickly with more booze. I always noticed that “hair of the dog that bit you” worked for alcoholics. For normal people who have a vicious hangover the idea of drinking with booze anything makes them gag.

I know Bam likes his drugs too but I think alcoholism is his biggest obstacle. When he managed to get off opiates and coke for certain periods he always used booze as the crutch, so he became increasingly dependent on it. Being a alcoholic and a drug addict is bad news.

 

[The Un-Clit]

Coming off opiates is hard as fuck, and very often if not nearly all the time the addict will quickly become a pisshead, The almost medical need for alcohol to help get you through the suddenly long-ass days and even longer nights when you just come off opes is almost overwhelming. Be it as mild as codeine pills or as hardcore as mainlining smack, once you quit that hole has to be filled with something. ANYTHING to fend off the depression. Alcohol being both legal and plenty strong enough is almost always the solution.

Some sober up eventually and get on with their lives (or relapse) others stay a helpless tosspot (or relapse). It's a fucking rough road, and I highly suggest that no one here EVER start down it.

That said, Bam is using the above a crutch and an excuse. The true repentant addict is willing to pay the price and fight through it. Bam....isn't.

 

[drain]

I admit that I only drink, never did any drugs, so I made a guess about the state a human being would be by following Bam's lifestyle. He looks so fucking miserable when sober/drunk/high that I can't even tell anymore if he even feels slightly good at all. He just looks... wrong. Like he's about to puke his brains out and shit blood while blabbering nonsense at any given time.
What a miserable existence.

This shit actually terrifies me, because it is so easy to get addicted to substances and just keep adding more and more on the toxic pile until you're an empty husk of a human being. Then, dead.
Bam is into a deeper hole than I initially thought when I stumbled upon a Reddit thread laughing at one of his videos. (The one he's with the Burzum shirt.) I just went ''Woah this man is WASTED dude lol, what the fuck Bam''. Now I see the true depth of the shit pit he's in.

Without powerleveling, I can say Knoxville seems pretty darn cool. I don’t know him personally, but I have a degree of connection to him, and he seems to treat those around him very well, with deadpan wit to boot. I think he was being very genuine when he cried over Bam the other day.

If in a normal person woke up one morning feeling like an active drunk/addict does after going on one of their binges, they'd go directly to the hospital. Instead, the functional ones go to work and the nonfunctional ones just start on their next daily consumption.

My immediate thought when I saw the video was he was cut off from his regular supplies/ money by being in Florida so ofc his first response is to go to the bars. The bars are also a good place to find “fans” that know where drugs are and that will buy him booze.

I’m going to assume if he was sent down to Florida for yet another rehab he doesn’t have wads of cash, but his fame means he can always find ppl willing to get him wasted at local bars.

Holy hell, if he doesn't clean up Bam is going to be one of those stories where someone disappears from rehab, only to be found days later, knifed to death under an overpass in a "drug deal gone wrong".

In the back of my head I expect the news that Bam has been found dead and the news reporting it like Dunn's death. If somehow he survives long enough without becoming clean I'll be amazed because he's so far from being redeemable that it's a miracle he's still alive.

Remember that lolcows are like cockroaches, they'd survive nuclear annihilation and just crawl on their stumps to get their next fix.

The only 2 people smart enough out of the entire CKY/Jackass crew were Brandon DiCamillo and Rake Yohn. Both had fun when they were younger with the entire situation, and knew when to pull the plug. DiCo being the funniest out of all of them while Rake being some sort of legit scientist.

I'll add a vid of DiCo talking about his experiences.

Like Conner, Cody in the 1990’s to Aiden and Liam in the 2010’s, Brandon and Brad were super popular early 80’s baby boy names.

My god I had so many babysitters named Jennifer because the Love Story movie in the 1970’s meant like every other teen girl in the 1990’s was named Jennifer.

He's going to die in a ditch somewhere or go out recreating what happened to Dunn. I'd argue the Jackass family would be the only people who could have gotten him clean and Bam just burned that bridge. Steveo was only able to get clean because all those guys basically dragged him to the psych ward after he threatened to kill himself and was ripping ketamine and nitrous on a daily basis.

It must be really bizarre to become a multi millionaire off of becoming a degenerate. How do you progress your life beyond partying, kickflips, and nailing your testicles to particle board? Bam seems completely lost without that and fills that void (and the one left with Dunn's death) with whatever drugs he can get his hands on, the unmediated BPD doesn't help either, dude needs a DBT workbook and an anti psychotic.

Still, a lot of people in here are probably around the age where they saw the Jackass crew explode in popularity and as sentimental as it is, it feels bittersweet to see one of its prominent members nosedive so spectacularly. All the support, finances, and fame in the world can't help you if you treat your body and the people around you like shit. I'd say it's a pity, but he'll probably die from pulling a DUI and I just hope he doesn't murder anyone in the process.

Holy hell, if he doesn't clean up Bam is going to be one of those stories where someone disappears from rehab, only to be found days later, knifed to death under an overpass in a "drug deal gone wrong".

Another likely scenario, seeing as how he picks fights with people all the fucking time and hasn't been able to fight a day in his life.

Watched the Bam rant posted on youtube and got recommended the episode of cribs with the Jackass guys. Pretty funny how things turned out.

Man, this is like a time capsule. Steve O was still a drug addict, Dunn was alive and Bam looked like he came from humble upper-middle class background. The slap to Rabb shows how he'd hurt others but if someone was rough with him he'd cry foul.
