And then, because sometimes the best and most classic idiocy is the simplest, there was the occasion where Johnny simply got run over. “When he said, ‘I’m Johnny Knoxville and I’m going to get hit by a car real soon,’ [the] car just came flying, he went through the windshield, rolled over.
“They asked him, ‘What were you thinking when you got hit by a car?’ And his answer was, ‘I wore two pairs of jeans so that I’d be safe’.”
