A couple of things here:
1. "Dubbed over commentary..." It must be a Japanese thing. On the Iron Chef show, they have a dubber speaking English in voice over (Chairman Kaga just sits there looking pensive), and they have subtitles -- IN ENGLISH!! And the spoken English is different from the subtitled English! :wtf:
2. I rented "Jackass -- The Movie" for my husband over the weekend. It seemed particularly appropriate for his, uh, unique sense of humor. He watched it while I was out, but when I got home, he said it was hilarious, so I watched it too, and DAMN!! those guys must have serious pain tolerance.
There was one stunt that was so funny, I rewound it over and over and laughed each and every time. (Believe me, this arouses no small degree of my concern that my husband's puerile sense of humor is rubbing off onto me a little more than I would like to admit....)
The movie was like a cross between "Candid Camera" and "America's Funniest Home Videos" (the videos involving mishaps anyway.) Loathe as I am to confess it, many parts of it were pretty darned funny. (However, some of it was just gross -- I couldn't even watch.)
