paramount mtv johnny knoxville and everyone else because i found so many great quotes about hollywood i couldn't not add a second one for this particular story because it was so fitting this is from walter winchell who said hollywood is a place where they place you under contract instead of under observation it's interesting to me because that's really what happened in this lawsuit with bamarajara if you're not familiar with jackass so sorry jackass really is what brought us this wave of like jake paul david dobrik dangerous prank your friends video it's basically like how my balls from idiocracy is what jackass is it's a group of friends doing outrageous stunts and hurting themselves and all of the things it was a mtv show and then had a number of movies if you have not seen jackass i mean i'm sure you can find it somewhere on streaming on youtube whatever but this lawsuit is bamarjara through bam marjara inc versus paramount pictures mtv networks jeffrey tremain we'll talk about him in a minute tj clapp who is known professionally as johnny knoxville adam h spiegel who's known as spike jones dickhouse entertainment inc and gorilla flicks yeah dick house is what they call their production company if you want to know what we're dealing with it's like the real life adult version of south park and i really enjoy south park but that's where we're at with this the lawsuit goes out to say that welcome to jackass are words that define a generation they also define the better part of margera's life a man whose name has been synonymous with jackass since he created the franchise when he was barely out of his team they argued that margera created the jackass franchise long before the hit show on mtv in the NUMBER_TOKENs that the freshman season of the show was comprised of his footage with his own friend the cky crew so with his own friend group he was already filming these types of stunts and pranks and mtv kind of took that and put it on air in the early NUMBER_TOKENs if he had been born at a different time he would have just started putting this stuff on youtube that wasn't an option so making videos with your friends didn't often lead to mainstream success and did for him and the jackass crew as they started on mtv in the early NUMBER_TOKENs the lawsuit goes on to say that margera is not only the star of the television show and film franchise that has made paramount and mtv hundreds of millions of dollars to date but co-writer and producer who came up with the vast majority of the franchise's most memorable content they said that margera has given jackass quite literally more than two decades worth of blood sweat and tears but defendants have not repaid him in kind rather margera who has a documented history of physical and mental health issues including diagnosed bipolar disorder has been the victim of unconscionable discrimination at the hands of defendants the allegations in this lawsuit the causes of action and there
