Jackass began as an MTV stunt comedy series in 2000, created around Johnny Knoxville and a cast performing dangerous, deliberately stupid stunts and pranks. The opening greeting, most famously delivered by Knoxville himself, became the show signature as it expanded into a long running film series starting in 2002. Clips of the intro spread online as a shorthand for reckless behaviour, and the line is now detached from full episodes, used on social media whenever a video promises pain, embarrassment or a stunt that should never have been attempted in the first place.

The iconic Welcome to Jackass intro line from the Jackass TV series and films, used for stunt intros, prank videos and reckless dare reactions online.
This is the short spoken intro that opens Jackass, delivered as a deadpan welcome before the chaos starts. The voice is calm and matter of fact, which makes the contrast with the painful stunt that follows even funnier. It lasts just a couple of seconds, long enough to set the expectation that someone is about to do something stupid and get hurt. Viewers instantly recognise the tone from the TV show and movies, so the clip works as a warning label and a punchline at the same time, priming the audience for slapstick disaster.
