The iconic Jackass crew is back for one final, outrageous adventure. Paramount Pictures just dropped the official trailer for their upcoming film, Jackass: Best and Last, scheduled for a 2026 release. True to its legacy, the trailer is packed with absurd physical gags, inventive stunts, and the kind of off-the-wall humor that has cemented the franchise's place in pop culture for the past 25 years.

A Farewell Like No Other

From the teaser’s opening moments, fans are greeted with the familiar cast lineup, including Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Danger Ehren. The camaraderie is palpable. Introducing the film as "the first day of our last film," Knoxville himself sets the tone: this isn't just a farewell; it's an outrageous celebration of everything the Jackass crew stands for.

There’s a bittersweet edge to the trailer. While Knoxville admits feeling sad about the end, Chris Pontius (true to form) responds with hilarity, quipping that he's "not in touch with [his] emotions." The dynamic among the cast, both old and new, is as chaotic and entertaining as ever, a perfect emblem of the Jackass brand.

The Same Wit; New Levels of Chaos

Consistent with past Jackass films and TV episodes, the trailer teases a series of jaw-dropping stunts, pranks, and borderline insane challenges. Some highlights from the trailer include:

• A “robot prostate exam,” which Knoxville hypes as a historic first for the group. The scene shows a hilariously oversized robotic claw, accompanied by shrieks of terror and laughter.
• A chaotic escape-room challenge, labeled “the escape room from hell,” where the team struggles through what appears to be an intricate maze while dodging deadly surprises.
• Outlandish stunts involving painful consequences, like a newcomer handling a shock collar in an unconventional spot.
• Knoxville’s dry humor, as he remarks, "25 years and we haven’t learned a godd*** thing."

Even at 50-plus years of age, the Jackass crew demonstrates they haven't slowed down—taking their love for chaos and physical absurdities to a whole new level.

Expanding the Cast

Another significant moment in the trailer is the introduction of a new cast member, Larry. While little is revealed about his role, it's clear that the Jackass vets waste no time in subjecting him to their brand of hazing. In one glimpse, Larry becomes the subject of a booby trap and Knoxville jokingly asks for a hammer to use against their colleague in jest.

This new addition brings some fresh energy to the film's dynamic, though die-hard fans will undoubtedly be focused on the legacy cast and their chemistry.

The Humor and Heart of Jackass

What sets Jackass: Best and Last apart from an endless list of modern prank shows is its heart. Even amid juvenile humor and stomach-churning stunts, the franchise has always been rooted in the genuine friendship and ridiculous creativity of its cast. This final film promises to walk the same tightrope between hilarity and heart, pairing emotional goodbyes with unforgettable entertainment.

Knoxville’s statement in the trailer—"This is what Jackass looks like at 50"—serves as a sort of mantra for the film. It’s an acknowledgment of their grueling journey over the past 25 years, but also a celebratory declaration of their willingness to push limits, even as they age.

A Cultural Phenomenon

Launched back in 2000 on MTV, Jackass quickly became a global phenomenon. Its fearless, boundary-pushing comedy defined a generation and spawned countless imitators. Over the decades, the group expanded into blockbuster films, but their formula—equal parts slapstick, daring, and mischief—has remained consistent. With Jackass: Best and Last, the group appears poised to honor this long-standing tradition while also closing the book on the franchise.

Final Thoughts: Will This Be the End?

While the title Best and Last heavily implies finality, it’s anyone’s guess if the Jackass crew will truly hang it up for good. Either way, the film promises to send the franchise off in classic Jackass fashion: with plenty of laughs, bruises, and barely controlled chaos.

Fans of the series won’t want to miss this final hurrah, a celebration of Jackass’s singular influence on comedy and pop culture. As Knoxville and company gear up one last time, you can expect nothing less than the signature blend of bizarre antics and fearless friendship that have made them icons.
