In Ridiculousness season 3 episode 3, titled Steve-O, viewers are in for a wild ride as the famed stunt performer and jackass member Steve-O makes an appearance on the show. In typical Ridiculousness fashion, viewers can expect a mix of hilarious and cringe-worthy Internet videos that will have them laughing out loud while also making them question humanity's collective intelligence.
As the episode kicks off, viewers are treated to a montage of some of Steve-O's most infamous stunts, including staple gunning his earlobe, putting a fishhook through his cheek, and jumping into a cactus. Steve-O settles into his seat on the Ridiculousness couch and the show's host Rob Dyrdek wastes no time in diving into some of the Internet's most absurd clips.
The first video features a girl trying to catch a ball with a laundry basket. As she jumps to catch the ball, she loses her balance and falls hard onto the pavement. The Ridiculousness crew cringes in unison, but Steve-O can't help but chuckle at her misfortune. From there, the videos only get more absurd and outrageous.
Next up is a clip of a man attempting to jump over a moving car. Viewers can probably guess how this one ends, and they'd be correct - the man comes crashing down onto the car's hood with a sickening thud. Steve-O, who has done his fair share of insane car stunts, can't help but marvel at the guy's boldness (or stupidity).
The show then transitions to a segment called "Human Fails," where the Ridiculousness crew showcases videos of people attempting feats of strength or skill with disastrous results. One video features a man attempting to pull a truck with his teeth - needless to say, it doesn't end well. Another clip shows a man trying to do a backflip off a diving board but barely getting any air and landing flat on his back. Steve-O, who has made a career out of pushing his physical limits, can relate to the pain these people are feeling.
One of the standout clips from the episode features a man riding a unicycle down a slide and launching off a ramp. The man's dismount is less than graceful and he ends up face-planting onto the ground. Steve-O, who has done plenty of his own wacky stunts, can't help but admire the guy's audacity.
Throughout the episode, Steve-O shares stories of some of his most infamous stunts and how he came up with some of his craziest ideas. He talks about his obsession with the Jackass series and how it inspired him to push the limits of what was possible. He also reveals the harrowing story behind a stunt that involved having a live alligator bite down on his nipple (spoiler alert: it didn't end well).
As the episode winds down, the Ridiculousness crew delves into some of the weirder corners of the Internet. They showcase videos of bizarre Japanese game shows, strange animal hybrids, and inexplicable dance routines. Steve-O, who has traveled the world performing stunts and filming documentaries, is no stranger to weirdness, but even he seems taken aback by some of the clips on display.
Overall, Ridiculousness season 3 episode 3 featuring Steve-O is a must-see for fans of outrageous Internet videos and wild stunts. Steve-O's presence adds an extra layer of craziness to an already absurd show. With its mix of hilarious fails and jaw-dropping feats, this episode of Ridiculousness will have viewers laughing, gasping, and maybe even cringing a little.
