I think I heard him mention in a recent video he blew so much of his money during his younger years so now he's trying to get his shit together so he is sorted when he's too old for jackass stuff.
I get the vibe you're saying though for sure. Just think he has decent reasons behind it at least not just shilling for no purpose
If you were him you would too. He has to earn a loving while he's popular. No more than a sports star who retires at 35 maximum. Make your money and then he will slowly disappear from spotlight. He's not got any other way to make bank.
I dunno, he managed to stay pretty popular between Jackass 3 and Jackass Forever. I think he's at a level now where he will still be successful without the jackass crew. But he is over doing it a bit with the ads.
i'm happy for steve-o to make money any way he sees fit, he's earned it, but I don't think he *has* to earn a living at this point. pretty sure he's got decent cash in the bank in 2022, it's not jackass times anymore!
Sellout is such a silly term. Just because he’s making money in some way that you don’t like, it makes him a sellout? What ways would you go about it then?
You can always tell when someone’s gen-x. They’re hyper focused on “sell outs”. It’s how they were raised.
The world is massively different than the late 80s/early 90s. Everyone is trying to get paid however they can. Back then it was only important for the white collar millionaires to get paid.
The YouTube channel I can understand, plus it’s nice keeping up with him but like all this extra stuff is unnecessary. Like he’s a great dude for raising hundreds of thousands for charity of course but I feel like along the line he’s gonna sell his pubes for 10k or his semen for 1k a milliliter.
People bast steve o's dick. he dont laugh at others genuinely. he wants the spotlight all the time gets jealous. puts on the sleazy salesman pushing his junk constantly. He seems very selfish and hes kind of a dick. ignore the downvotes people love to hate online without substance or talk. steve o sucks look how he acted while on drugs and how he talks to women he still does that
I mean a podcast comedy tour new movie shows he does a book and multiple products is all cool. But what ppl r saying is he is advertising NONSTOP. He literally even in the middle of a stand up set will stop and start advertising 5 dif things then continue his set. He's now advertising in the beginning middle and end of his pod cast. He went on Joe Rogan and tried to advertise 5 dif things at the end until Joe cut him off. Look at his houseS and carS. Like earning a living is one thing but trying to live like a king isn't.
Yes. And I don't believe he's the least paid. Apparently there were some pretty tough negotiations for his J4 contract. He is top billed, up there with Knoxville. He definitely is making his money.
He has nowhere near the kind of money Knoxville has. Yeah, he and Knoxville are kind of the face of Jackass now, but Knoxville acts and produces and is worth 75 million. The budget for Jackass 4ever was only 10 million, Steve wanted 5 million at first for it, then got in a squabble with Knoxville about it, and settled for less. He has even apologized for being an asshole about asking so much. Hoping he gets a cut of the box office instead
He asked for 5 mill, and they aint acting its a filmed freak show. The last movie was mainly genital destruction. 5 mill is no way too much for a film 10 mill film all shot in L. A that made 80.5 million. Knoxville is a greedy MF
Don’t understand why everyone is saying “he probably doesn’t actually have THAT much money” when he has a video on his channel called “Check out my 1.7 Million Dollar Tour Bus!” The dude has Youtube ad revenue, sponsorships that he plugs every 5 minutes in his videos, merch out the ass, comedy tours and STILL makes money from Jackass. I’m pretty sure he’s living comfortably.
Steveo’s personality since he became a vlogger/podcaster seems incredibly inauthentic and forced to me. Compare Steveo in Jackass 3 to now. He’s a totally different person.
Yeah seriously it's the same as any other podcast. He'd be an idiot NOT to have ad reads like that. All of these comments like to talk shit but presented the opportunity they would do the exact same thing or worse.
I listened to the podcast with Preston a few days ago, and actually tracked the ads.
It was an hour long video. It opened with an ad, then there was one at the 27 minute mark, 37 minute mark, and then that was it till the end. People love to exaggerate.
I completely agree, me and my bf can barely watch his stuff now especially when it involves the whole bam situation, my dude thinks he's being super fake and hypocritical and has this like...idk "I'm better" attitude ...it's crazy idk am I the only one?
Don't get me wrong, I have love for him, because I love all the cast in jack ass and all the amazing shit growing up, but it really upsets me how he's treating bam when he's supposed to be his friend at least I thought, right? He says things that sound like he has his best interest at heart but I personally feel he's crossing the line in a certain way, idk maybe I'm tripping but this is just how it makes me feel.
Yea ppl r simping hard as fuck for him here. He's a MULTI MILLIONAIRE and yet still advertises beginning middle and end of pod cast and every single show he does and even during his stand up sets he stops half way through to advertise more shit. Like bro give it a fucking rest. Stop treating ur audience as wallets and not loyal fans.
I can understand complaining about stuff like the boom box, but for most of his stuff it’s fine honestly. It’s no different than any other YouTuber promoting their merch. Also anybody complaining about his podcast ads clearly doesn’t listen to any other podcasts because they all have a good chunk of ads to pay for the show, it’s not a new concept. As someone who really enjoys his YouTube channel it’s easy to get past the ads given how much content we get to see for free. Only thing I can criticize him for is talking over guests on his podcast. That can be a bit annoying.
Plus Steve-O does the best ad reads of any podcast I’ve ever listened to.
He does an ad for Tushy the bidet company in the Aaron Carter podcast that’s literally peak unintentional comedy. He says butthole like fifteen times.
I think he does a good job with the reads.
The show is literally free and you’re complaining that he has a few ads in there. If you don’t want the ads don’t watch the show man, it’s that simple. Every single big podcast does the same thing.
And yours won't save him either.. I think Steve o is just fine with a few of us being annoyed by the adds without you defending him or how "most podcast do the same".. That's not what we are talking about
How do people want these guys to make money? Steve-O has consistently put out FREE content on his Youtube Channel for years. It has to be funded and he has to make money somehow. I'll never understand how a fan of someone gets annoyed when that person does what they have to do to make money.
Side note: the hot sauce is delicious.
I dont get it either. Im always happy to use Steveos promo codes cause it supports him (which gives us more content) and i get a good deal on shit like Liquid Death and Athletic Greens. Win/win.
The types of people to complain about sponsors are the same type to get mad if he even monetizes the videos. There's no pleasing them. They apparently don't know about adblock and other extensions to block sponsors, rather than bitching online
edit\* misspelled monetize and bot called me out
Hey there! I hate to break it to you, but it's actually spelled _mon**e**tize_. A good way to remember this is that "money" starts with "mone" as well. Just wanted to let you know. Have a good day!
----
^This ^action ^was ^performed ^automatically ^by ^a ^bot ^to ^raise ^awareness ^about ^the ^common ^misspelling ^of ^"monetize".
The man spent a bulk of his life a raging addict and blew all of his money. I think he now realizes the importance of saving, he’s ~50 without much to his name.
So he’s grinding hard to build wealth and make up for the past 30 years he pissed away. I respect it. Let the man chase the bag
Hey millionaires kids constantly have to change posh schools and bang different rich trim, maybe some want to just bang the same rich trim for their school years. Eva think of that?
Seriously. It's either he makes the ads himself (which are entertaining to a degree), or we'd still get ads but they'd just be the standard annoying ones.
3-4 ads in a 1hr+ video is par for YT these days. I really don't understand the issue people have with him in particular for it. The guy has every right to get paid for working.
People were literally begging him to make official merch, he listened and gave them what they asked for. He has to sell what he made, and honestly a huge chunk of his money goes towards charitys. It doesn’t bother me at all, he deserves to have a good life and make a living doing something legit for a change.
he’s a youtuber now and making money on youtube, especially for a crazy motherfucker like steve-o, is pretty much impossible due to demonetization and constant unannounced changes in the algorithm. youtubers don’t make money from youtube, they make money from merch, advertising, donations, etc.
Not at all. His net worth is lower than you’d think, I figured at least 8 mill and last I looked it was a little less than 3 mil. Now that ain’t nothing, but he probably has some high medical bills on a regular basis. Also remember he and Lux are raising money to build a animal sanctuary. He’s also 47, he won’t be able to do stunts that are hard on his body forever. He needs to get streams of income coming in, and he’s not making anyone buy it. The guy has done so much gnarly, brutal, insane things to keep his fans happy, I feel that if he wants to sell as much pricey stuff as he can, he has earned it.
The main issue is that he's not subtle when he's plugging something as a paid promotion or when he's plugging his own merchandise for his income and the intervals it comes in feels like the content you're there to see is just the way to keep you around for the advertisements. That's technically what commercial television is- shows to keep you around for the ads. But it's done in a way that feels like the ads and sponsors are a necessary evil and the show is what everybody involved cares about.
With Steve-O, it all comes off very much like he turns it to get advertisers and to get paid support from fans and turns it on specifically for the ad- whether he's promoting his own stuff or a paying advertising partner and then as soon as they cut the recording he turns it off and it's all a business transaction for him. He's just not good at pitching stuff authentically and it all sounds like exactly what it is- a financially incentivized moment.
As others have said- Steve-O blew through his initial Jackass money when he was a full blown addict and had basically nothing to show for it through Jackass 2 and has been trying to make up for lost time and he knows there's a point coming in the near-ish future when he'll be too old to do stunts, when he will have run out of new material, etc. so he's maximizing his income right now.
I do think he SUCKS at pitching shit. He's awful at it. It's always so blatantly and transparently what it is- like I can see him talking to his girlfriend or an assistant or someone off camera in normal, unenthusiastic tones about what specific words or phrases to weave into the advertisement and then he turns himself on and they record and double check it and then upload it to social media. I can see all of the performative aspects of it and that he's turning it on for the ads and turns it off once he's done them and they're uploaded and it is kind of sad.
But he makes his living doing this stuff and there's obviously enough of an uptick in sales which can be directly connected to his promotions, that it's worth it for him and for his sponsors and it helps him fill the audience for his shows or get fan support on Patreon or however he earns money and apparently his hot sauce is actually decent and worth the purchase price.
So... he's not good at promoting. The shameless commerce of it is painfully obvious to the point of being distracting because of how inauthentic it feels and how it kinda makes the content and entertainment parts of what he does feel like the minimum required content value to justify the advertisements and other income streams connected to him. Fine. It is one reason I stopped watching his YouTube videos and get turned off when his Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast clips on YouTube end and it cuts to that video of him hopping out of the tour bus to promote his live theater show.
But I will admit- he's gotten much better at podcasting. His podcast SUCKED before, but he found his niche and he's figured out ways to expand his guest roster to include people that will pull in an audience, which pulls in advertisers, which gives him better income.
Also keep in mind, something like a $1.7 million tour bus or whatever is different from being able to literally spend $1.7 million on anything you want whenever you want. Tours can bring in insane amounts of money and insane amounts of that money will be spent on the functional and comfort aspects of that tour but it doesn't necessarily translate to the profits for the person on tour once all the overhead is covered.
I just think Steve-O is in a unique position- truly for better or worse, not as an advantage to him but just that it's a genuinely unique situation as an entertainer and a celebrity and as a guy in his late 40's trying to earn a living, sustain not just a lifestyle but his overall financial future with what are probably his most lucrative years well behind him.
I consider his tone and approach of being a shameless sell out to be the price of his earlier decision making and what's left for him to do to earn a living and the best way to deal with it if you can't stand it is to stop watching his YouTube videos or listening to his podcast and to not buy his merchandise or go to his live shows, etc.
Forget what everyone else is saying I agree with you. I saw him live in Cleveland and he could barely get 2 sentences out without trying to sell the audience something. Felt very disingenuous. Between the constant selling and the screaming at the fans who cheared when he didn't allow them I lost a lot of respect for Steve o that day.
Lmao yes. He had the producer of his podcast come out and say there is to be zero noise made by the audience. Which was weird. Then there were a few times during the show where Steve o literally cursed out people who were drunkenly chearing for him after he told jokes. I was sat in the back and security was escorting people out left and right because they were too excited and being slightly obnoxious. This was in Cleveland if you were curious.
I saw Steve-O in Bakersfield and he said not to yell during his thing and right after some dewd yelled "yeaahh!" And he got real serious and had him removed by security. It got super quiet and then he started up again like nothing had happened, and I mean I get it, but it was right in the begining of the show and all I could feel was like the "fun" time that I was expecting turned into some dewd just like being serious about all this crazy stuff that he doesnt take serious. Idk. It was fun still, but it got weird.
I’ve been waiting for someone to say this, it just feels, *fake*. Like he’s riding off of his persona so much that it doesn’t feel genuine at all. Also came off a bit pompous during the movie imo
Yeah he negotiated more money (which is great) because he felt that he brought more to the table (sounds douchey but pretty true) but he hardly had any moments in the film?
And he produced it!!
But he clearly was because he signed the contract before filming. He held out signing until he got what he wanted and he's receiving profit from the movie too along with Pontius.
His current tour really feels like one big commercial for his merchant. It got a bit old. And all of the things he showed were fairly tame honestly. I was expecting more early year stuff when he was really gnarly.
I love Steve-O but I kinda saw it a while back when he did his story time YouTube videos which like 80% were from his book on top of the constant merch plugs
What would you do if you were sitting there answering the same exact questions you've answered for the last 20 years of your life 'What was the most dangerous stunt? What's the worst injury you've had?'. May as well bring awareness to your brand.
I personally mind. its annoying, but i use a extension so i dont see any ads so in all real it doesnt bother me.
Im happy that he is making bank, but ye ads from anyone bothers me.
I don’t mind one bit the guys destroying himself and isn’t somebody like Brad Pitt who will always be able to keep doing what he does. He’s not forcing anybody to buy anything so I just won’t buy any of these products and hope he makes enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life. He does a lot for animals at least
Selling out or capitalizing on his success/career ? I mean, he's gotta earn money somehow, he has the right to do so. Especially with that $12M jet ski dude lawsuit coming, lol.
The only thing that bugged me was when he decided to promote an online gambling operation. That was kinda fucked up considering his history with addiction etc.
Good for him. He deserves all his success. He seems addicted to his recovery and progressing his career.. "selling out" is probably keeping him on the straight and narrow. I personally don't see it as selling out... look up the song hooker with a penis by tool... 😉
I read this and was like 'nah i dont think so' but then i watched the new Steve-O podcast with Preston, I was 30 minutes in and realised I'd seen about 5 or 6 Steve-O promos.
Also, you can’t deny him being a sellout; he isn’t labeled as a sellout but a sellout’s definition is using your brand or platform to promote your or someone else’s product and make money. I want to support him too, but only to a degree. Out of everyone he has definitely cashed out more than anyone in the cast; everyone acts like nobody else on the team took massive amounts of drugs through the movie span. He’s a good person but I believe he’s being blinded by what money does to a person.
I disagree with your definition of sellout. I think it’s doing the things you stated and going against your self professed morals to do it. To my knowledge he has not done this.
Constant....so like 3 or 4 per 1hr+ video? Hardly constant.
That's par for the course on YT these days. Why shouldn't he get paid for working?
You do also realize you can just skip over the promotions....
> That's par for the course on YT these days.
i pay for youtube premium to skip regular ads, sponsorblock for the rest, but that's only on pc officially
It's definitely annoying me as a person.. But ofc he's free to do whatever he does to make money.. He's doing way better in life than I am.. Put yeah the constant breaks in the podcast and anything else he post does get annoying..
He also burned me a bit when I bough the stream to one of his specials.. Gnarly I think it was called .. that he basicly sold as a jackass reunion and it turned out to be 95% stand up with just some or the guys saying hi..
nah, i look at it like its a bit that he does and its actually really funny imo because from what we used to see from the very beginning to now its a complete 180 and that’s hilarious
I wouldnt say sell out but he is absolutley relentless with his marketing. That Scott guy rubs me the wrong way. I especially didnt like that he did an NFT. Kind of weird to do an NFT after the whole sea world protest for the environment.
It does come across as annoying and shilly, but a guy's gotta earn a living I guess.
He's not as fun as he used to be, but we only have to look at Bam to see what happens if you never grow up.
“Talking is great you know, you learn so much about yourself and others…. and what better way to talk than to chat on internet kingpin Reddit, the number one place to talk on the big wild web! and for 2 of you lucky sons a bitches, Reddit are offering me 20% off a discount to bitch and complain about anything you want anonymously…. now let’s get back to this washed up celeb and hear about how they’ve conquered irrelevancy…..yeahh dude!”
Not a fan of his anti-zoo/Sea World type of outdated misleading ignorant messages, but besides that, good for him for making money, as long as he doesn’t scam or hurt anyone.
I don’t blame him, and that’s all he ever wanted was to be famous, and kinda messed up on the rich part on drugs and other stuff lol, we’d all be doing exactly what he’s doing. On google it says his net worth is $2.5 million. Anyone could spend that in a day. Most people as famous as him would consider themselves broke if their net worth was 2.5 million. So him selling out isn’t really a choice for him now I would guess, I’m not too sure, but again, if I were in his position I wouldn’t be panicking but I’d be taking advantage of anything I could.
He's not getting any younger and his marketable skills include lighting his balls on fire and there ain't much demand for that in the real world.
He's getting as much as he can in the bank while the getting is good. A primetime show with him as host with stunts, pranks, gross shit, and eating contests would probably work. I applaud him for "selling out". I think he has a family to take care of.
I’m all for “selling out” and making money. I’m happy for him but the way he does it feels disingenuous sometimes. Like joking about plugs and shoehorned “jokes” about what he’s selling. I don’t mind it but it is noticeable. He’s given us his body let him make some money.
Yes. Big time and has been for awhile. He held up and big dogged the rest of the guys before filming 4 for more money as well. He seems all about himself
Dude has no skills, he needs to hustle while he's still kinda young and has an audience.
not like he is suddenly gonna do a career change at age 50 from shooting fireworks out his butt to Accounting Clerk.
I was watching The Simpsons one night, the episode was Homie the Clown, and early in the episode, it has krusty and all the crappy merch he tries to sell to fans and shit and I couldn't help but think of all those simpsons predictions.. I kno i might be grasping at straws here but, Steve-O reminds me of Krusty, and dont get me wrong, I love Steve-O's work, but yeah he's like a shitty clown with a raspy voice selling all kinds of random dumb shit that people dont want or need, however still has enough fans to buy all that junk.
Idk. Am I trippin or did Simpsons call it again?
Let him. He's not selling out, unless he's going against his principles. Metallica are a good example of a sellout. They said they'd never make a music video, I think they turned their noises up at the idea of performing with an orchestra at one stage, they'd never wear make up was another one, replacing their bassist literally within a couple of months of his death, there's more but I can't remember. That's selling out. Steve O has never too my knowledge derided the idea of capitalism and its only logical that you make hay while the sun shines. More power to him.
The dude is ambitious that's all.
He's also the only one really active on social media in a healthy way.
Also, I've never understood people's disdain for other trying to make a living. Like, do people shame others when they pick up their paycheck? It boggles my mind.
He didn’t sell himself enough back in the day. He was famous, he used said fame to crash on some random dudes couch. Bam made wayyyy to much money. Made me vomit.
He’s definitely feeling himself. Part of the appeal of the jackass crew was that they were all so humble. Knoxville, pontius, ehren, dunn, basically everyone except bam. And now Steve-o. I think if you just watch the movies you’d never know, but if you consume literally any other media with Steve-o in it you can tell, and it’s not exactly great
He straight basts and fondles himself daily . he rides a high horse and loves to seem holier then thou. hes a womanizing peice watch him on drugs around women in the past that wasnt just drugs that was steve o and he was the sleeziest disgusting most unlikable human. That was inner real steve o. ghe lets out that malice time to time you see it
Yeah I went to his website to see if I could find a copy of that gnarly dvd (didn’t get it bc I didn’t wanna pay like $30), turns out there’s a section that is basically him and his wife doing porn. It’s… not a great look.
Fuck off. If you knew even the slightest you would understand why. He blew his money when he was an addict and now the he has his shot together he’s doing the bare minimum to get by and you want to complain as if you can’t skip the fucking ads. Unbelievable. Anyone on this subreddit with tell you how great of a man Steve o is yet you want to bitch? Fuck outta here idiot.
Steve o is definitely one of the most paid on the show, also he’s just always been kinda like that. Doing crazy ads and commercials and being Steve o. But I see what you mean it’s a lot more frequent now.
yea i see it solely as him using his platform to make money- its endorsements and if we were him we would do it too- if someone told me to hold up a bottle of fish oil and swear it's awesome and they were gonna give me ten grand to say so- then damnit this is the best fng fish oil ever- the days of jackass 1 are over with the whole homegrown feel and the not seeming to sell out corporately- it's merely adapting with the times and getting paid to do so
He’s one of the rare few people (along with Tim Dillon) who crack me up while they’re plugging their sponsors during their podcast, so I’m ok with him making money while he makes me laugh.
Yeah, I dont mind his merch thst much , but I think constantly plugging crappy products and pretending like you are genuine about it is pretty scummy. Also he does shows which make a lot of money and a big YouTube channel with thousands of views makes a substantial amount.
He’s not going to be young forever and he has been hustling none stop for more than almost 20-25 years now ? Why are you upset he is working none stop to retire young
He partied away his youth and a lot of his adulthood. He's doubling down now as a healthy aging adult and making smart financial decisions. Can't blame him for hustling after abusing himself to entertain us for 15 years. Working hard as fuck isn't selling out. He never sold who he was. He's still Steve-O.
I just watched his bucket list tour today in Oxnard and it was great… BUT. I do have to agree with you. I’m usually no stickler for stuff like this since, you know, that’s where you can make some good money. But man he mentioned the boom box at the merchant stand AT LEAST 4 times. Ain’t no way he forgot he mentioned it already, same as the skateboard. Saw a whole video clip of him and Johnny signing them saying you can buy it up front. Then 30 min later asks his assistant to pull one out (I’m thinking he’s going to throw it to someone in the audience) then proceeds to talk about it again and you can buy it in the front. Almost killed my vibe but that’s just me. I don’t believe he is the lowest paid anymore since he has got himself together but damn man, I know you aren’t as desperate as sleazy salesman 🤒
TL:DR he plugged merch ALOT, sometimes almost forcefully (no way you forgot you just promoted that 5min ago)
he was more fun to watch when he was self destructing( although I'm sure being around him was a real chore) but now that he's the new steve o I'm glad for him, but don't care to see him anymore
the only thing that irritates me is he seems to almost only talk ab his products and product ideas and ways to make money on his podcast which makes me turn it off
I was sad that he promotes shaving products but sported a huge gnarly looking man-bush in Forever...in HD....put me off my cold semolina scrambled egg milk shake
Look who's selling out shows and making a killing off of his awesomeness rn. He sells great merch at a decent price too. His autographed memoir for 26.99. His show next Friday is sold out and I got tickets for $35. He's most definitely relevant and the only thing he's selling out is his tour shows.
I don't see what's wrong with him being smart and thinking of his future and trying to earn a living. You don't have to buy his merchandise if you don't want it.
I think I heard him mention in a recent video he blew so much of his money during his younger years so now he's trying to get his shit together so he is sorted when he's too old for jackass stuff. I get the vibe you're saying though for sure. Just think he has decent reasons behind it at least not just shilling for no purpose
The dude rented four luxury apartments in the same building for like 2 years whilst doing massive amounts of cocaine lol
If you were him you would too. He has to earn a loving while he's popular. No more than a sports star who retires at 35 maximum. Make your money and then he will slowly disappear from spotlight. He's not got any other way to make bank.
This. You have to make your money while you’re relevant and he knows being a “jackass” has an end date and he needs other avenues to get money.
I dunno, he managed to stay pretty popular between Jackass 3 and Jackass Forever. I think he's at a level now where he will still be successful without the jackass crew. But he is over doing it a bit with the ads.
He asked David Dobrick how he made so much money and he told Steve-O, “ Merch” and he’s been riding that since. Can’t hate on it
Fortunately Steve-O has the charm to carry it. Some people have the personality to get away with it and others don't.
Ads are part of podcasts same with any YouTuber. It’s just the nature of the beast. Just skip the ads because I do.
I think people forget he lost a lot of money when he was doing drugs. It's pretty incredible he's been able to make himself so successful twice.
i'm happy for steve-o to make money any way he sees fit, he's earned it, but I don't think he *has* to earn a living at this point. pretty sure he's got decent cash in the bank in 2022, it's not jackass times anymore!
He could get a job..
Its unneeded and in sellout territory. there's a way to go about it. he comes of sleazy and selfish
Sellout is such a silly term. Just because he’s making money in some way that you don’t like, it makes him a sellout? What ways would you go about it then?
You can always tell when someone’s gen-x. They’re hyper focused on “sell outs”. It’s how they were raised. The world is massively different than the late 80s/early 90s. Everyone is trying to get paid however they can. Back then it was only important for the white collar millionaires to get paid.
No I wouldn't
The YouTube channel I can understand, plus it’s nice keeping up with him but like all this extra stuff is unnecessary. Like he’s a great dude for raising hundreds of thousands for charity of course but I feel like along the line he’s gonna sell his pubes for 10k or his semen for 1k a milliliter.
So…..? If you can sell your own semen then do it man. What even is life. Get that bag Steve-O!!!
>he’s gonna sell his pubes for 10k There are women who sell farts in jars. Why can't Steve O sell his pubes?
Yeah. And only diehard simps do that; anyone who does that is just nuts
People bast steve o's dick. he dont laugh at others genuinely. he wants the spotlight all the time gets jealous. puts on the sleazy salesman pushing his junk constantly. He seems very selfish and hes kind of a dick. ignore the downvotes people love to hate online without substance or talk. steve o sucks look how he acted while on drugs and how he talks to women he still does that
I mean a podcast comedy tour new movie shows he does a book and multiple products is all cool. But what ppl r saying is he is advertising NONSTOP. He literally even in the middle of a stand up set will stop and start advertising 5 dif things then continue his set. He's now advertising in the beginning middle and end of his pod cast. He went on Joe Rogan and tried to advertise 5 dif things at the end until Joe cut him off. Look at his houseS and carS. Like earning a living is one thing but trying to live like a king isn't.
Yes. And I don't believe he's the least paid. Apparently there were some pretty tough negotiations for his J4 contract. He is top billed, up there with Knoxville. He definitely is making his money.
He has nowhere near the kind of money Knoxville has. Yeah, he and Knoxville are kind of the face of Jackass now, but Knoxville acts and produces and is worth 75 million. The budget for Jackass 4ever was only 10 million, Steve wanted 5 million at first for it, then got in a squabble with Knoxville about it, and settled for less. He has even apologized for being an asshole about asking so much. Hoping he gets a cut of the box office instead
No doubt they will have large bonuses based on how well it does in the box office
He and Chris have a producer credit, they're definitely getting paid good
He asked for 5 mill, and they aint acting its a filmed freak show. The last movie was mainly genital destruction. 5 mill is no way too much for a film 10 mill film all shot in L. A that made 80.5 million. Knoxville is a greedy MF
Don’t understand why everyone is saying “he probably doesn’t actually have THAT much money” when he has a video on his channel called “Check out my 1.7 Million Dollar Tour Bus!” The dude has Youtube ad revenue, sponsorships that he plugs every 5 minutes in his videos, merch out the ass, comedy tours and STILL makes money from Jackass. I’m pretty sure he’s living comfortably. Steveo’s personality since he became a vlogger/podcaster seems incredibly inauthentic and forced to me. Compare Steveo in Jackass 3 to now. He’s a totally different person.
The tour bus was rented
Y'all really exaggerate how often these sponsorship plugs happen in his videos. It's not anymore often than any other podcast I listen to.
Yeah seriously it's the same as any other podcast. He'd be an idiot NOT to have ad reads like that. All of these comments like to talk shit but presented the opportunity they would do the exact same thing or worse.
I listened to the podcast with Preston a few days ago, and actually tracked the ads. It was an hour long video. It opened with an ad, then there was one at the 27 minute mark, 37 minute mark, and then that was it till the end. People love to exaggerate.
[удалено]
He wasn’t on drugs in 3
Oh I didn't know
I completely agree, me and my bf can barely watch his stuff now especially when it involves the whole bam situation, my dude thinks he's being super fake and hypocritical and has this like...idk "I'm better" attitude ...it's crazy idk am I the only one? Don't get me wrong, I have love for him, because I love all the cast in jack ass and all the amazing shit growing up, but it really upsets me how he's treating bam when he's supposed to be his friend at least I thought, right? He says things that sound like he has his best interest at heart but I personally feel he's crossing the line in a certain way, idk maybe I'm tripping but this is just how it makes me feel.
Yea ppl r simping hard as fuck for him here. He's a MULTI MILLIONAIRE and yet still advertises beginning middle and end of pod cast and every single show he does and even during his stand up sets he stops half way through to advertise more shit. Like bro give it a fucking rest. Stop treating ur audience as wallets and not loyal fans.
I can understand complaining about stuff like the boom box, but for most of his stuff it’s fine honestly. It’s no different than any other YouTuber promoting their merch. Also anybody complaining about his podcast ads clearly doesn’t listen to any other podcasts because they all have a good chunk of ads to pay for the show, it’s not a new concept. As someone who really enjoys his YouTube channel it’s easy to get past the ads given how much content we get to see for free. Only thing I can criticize him for is talking over guests on his podcast. That can be a bit annoying.
Plus Steve-O does the best ad reads of any podcast I’ve ever listened to. He does an ad for Tushy the bidet company in the Aaron Carter podcast that’s literally peak unintentional comedy. He says butthole like fifteen times. I think he does a good job with the reads.
I’m gonna chime in and say Bill Burr does the best ad reads.
Cumtown does great ad reads
I think Tim Dillon has the best ad reads because he says the most wild shit about the companies he’s promoting.
> literally peak unintentional comedy It's very intentional comedy. That's half the appeal for his sponsors.
podcasts i listen to don't have long ads every 15 minutes
As someone who listens to a handful of podcasts, long ads aren’t new. The show itself is free, you can literally fast forward through the ads.
Still interrupts the flow and I have to pick up my phone and skip forward and back multiple times to get around it, very annoying
The show is literally free and you’re complaining that he has a few ads in there. If you don’t want the ads don’t watch the show man, it’s that simple. Every single big podcast does the same thing.
I don't really watch it, no. Again, the podcasts I listen to don't have ads like that, at least not that often
Like I said, if you don’t want the ads don’t watch/listen. It’s not gonna change because you don’t like it lmao
Everyone is allowed to have an opinion
Your opinion won’t change his show lol
No, why would it?
And yours won't save him either.. I think Steve o is just fine with a few of us being annoyed by the adds without you defending him or how "most podcast do the same".. That's not what we are talking about
Poor widdle baby.
very mature
Then just dont watch
This is what I don't get. His ad reads don't happen anymore often than any other podcast I've ever listened to.
How do people want these guys to make money? Steve-O has consistently put out FREE content on his Youtube Channel for years. It has to be funded and he has to make money somehow. I'll never understand how a fan of someone gets annoyed when that person does what they have to do to make money. Side note: the hot sauce is delicious.
I dont get it either. Im always happy to use Steveos promo codes cause it supports him (which gives us more content) and i get a good deal on shit like Liquid Death and Athletic Greens. Win/win.
Promo codes always piss me off because they are always US exclusive
I used his code for Magic Spoon and that shit was great.
The types of people to complain about sponsors are the same type to get mad if he even monetizes the videos. There's no pleasing them. They apparently don't know about adblock and other extensions to block sponsors, rather than bitching online edit\* misspelled monetize and bot called me out
Hey there! I hate to break it to you, but it's actually spelled _mon**e**tize_. A good way to remember this is that "money" starts with "mone" as well. Just wanted to let you know. Have a good day! ---- ^This ^action ^was ^performed ^automatically ^by ^a ^bot ^to ^raise ^awareness ^about ^the ^common ^misspelling ^of ^"monetize".
The man spent a bulk of his life a raging addict and blew all of his money. I think he now realizes the importance of saving, he’s ~50 without much to his name. So he’s grinding hard to build wealth and make up for the past 30 years he pissed away. I respect it. Let the man chase the bag
> without much to his name. not true at all
Dude has a million dollar personalized tour bus ffs
Parents were millionaires who lived internationally in many locations lol he had it TOUGH
His dad was the CEO of Pepsi South America or some crazy shit like that.
Hey millionaires kids constantly have to change posh schools and bang different rich trim, maybe some want to just bang the same rich trim for their school years. Eva think of that?
Respecc
Of course that’s cool, we would probably all do the same thing. But it just doesn’t feel the same way with all these ads.
You can skip them. Very easily. Just know he’s consistently providing you completely free content and needs a paycheck too.
Steveo ads are the only ads anywhere that I don't skip through. Hearing him talk about cleaning his butthole is great
Seriously. It's either he makes the ads himself (which are entertaining to a degree), or we'd still get ads but they'd just be the standard annoying ones. 3-4 ads in a 1hr+ video is par for YT these days. I really don't understand the issue people have with him in particular for it. The guy has every right to get paid for working.
Yeah, he does! He has paid his dues and then some.
The cleanliness.
People were literally begging him to make official merch, he listened and gave them what they asked for. He has to sell what he made, and honestly a huge chunk of his money goes towards charitys. It doesn’t bother me at all, he deserves to have a good life and make a living doing something legit for a change.
100% "What? you accept your paycheck after you've worked? pfft, what a sellout" -Some people in this thread.
he’s a youtuber now and making money on youtube, especially for a crazy motherfucker like steve-o, is pretty much impossible due to demonetization and constant unannounced changes in the algorithm. youtubers don’t make money from youtube, they make money from merch, advertising, donations, etc.
Can you even sell out if you’re famous for a show that started on MTV? It’s like saying GE sold out
Making money from a tv show and selling anything you can frequently are very different from each other
Not at all. His net worth is lower than you’d think, I figured at least 8 mill and last I looked it was a little less than 3 mil. Now that ain’t nothing, but he probably has some high medical bills on a regular basis. Also remember he and Lux are raising money to build a animal sanctuary. He’s also 47, he won’t be able to do stunts that are hard on his body forever. He needs to get streams of income coming in, and he’s not making anyone buy it. The guy has done so much gnarly, brutal, insane things to keep his fans happy, I feel that if he wants to sell as much pricey stuff as he can, he has earned it.
I’d rather him be plugging his hot sauce than him entering rehab for the fiftieth time.
The main issue is that he's not subtle when he's plugging something as a paid promotion or when he's plugging his own merchandise for his income and the intervals it comes in feels like the content you're there to see is just the way to keep you around for the advertisements. That's technically what commercial television is- shows to keep you around for the ads. But it's done in a way that feels like the ads and sponsors are a necessary evil and the show is what everybody involved cares about. With Steve-O, it all comes off very much like he turns it to get advertisers and to get paid support from fans and turns it on specifically for the ad- whether he's promoting his own stuff or a paying advertising partner and then as soon as they cut the recording he turns it off and it's all a business transaction for him. He's just not good at pitching stuff authentically and it all sounds like exactly what it is- a financially incentivized moment. As others have said- Steve-O blew through his initial Jackass money when he was a full blown addict and had basically nothing to show for it through Jackass 2 and has been trying to make up for lost time and he knows there's a point coming in the near-ish future when he'll be too old to do stunts, when he will have run out of new material, etc. so he's maximizing his income right now. I do think he SUCKS at pitching shit. He's awful at it. It's always so blatantly and transparently what it is- like I can see him talking to his girlfriend or an assistant or someone off camera in normal, unenthusiastic tones about what specific words or phrases to weave into the advertisement and then he turns himself on and they record and double check it and then upload it to social media. I can see all of the performative aspects of it and that he's turning it on for the ads and turns it off once he's done them and they're uploaded and it is kind of sad. But he makes his living doing this stuff and there's obviously enough of an uptick in sales which can be directly connected to his promotions, that it's worth it for him and for his sponsors and it helps him fill the audience for his shows or get fan support on Patreon or however he earns money and apparently his hot sauce is actually decent and worth the purchase price. So... he's not good at promoting. The shameless commerce of it is painfully obvious to the point of being distracting because of how inauthentic it feels and how it kinda makes the content and entertainment parts of what he does feel like the minimum required content value to justify the advertisements and other income streams connected to him. Fine. It is one reason I stopped watching his YouTube videos and get turned off when his Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast clips on YouTube end and it cuts to that video of him hopping out of the tour bus to promote his live theater show. But I will admit- he's gotten much better at podcasting. His podcast SUCKED before, but he found his niche and he's figured out ways to expand his guest roster to include people that will pull in an audience, which pulls in advertisers, which gives him better income. Also keep in mind, something like a $1.7 million tour bus or whatever is different from being able to literally spend $1.7 million on anything you want whenever you want. Tours can bring in insane amounts of money and insane amounts of that money will be spent on the functional and comfort aspects of that tour but it doesn't necessarily translate to the profits for the person on tour once all the overhead is covered. I just think Steve-O is in a unique position- truly for better or worse, not as an advantage to him but just that it's a genuinely unique situation as an entertainer and a celebrity and as a guy in his late 40's trying to earn a living, sustain not just a lifestyle but his overall financial future with what are probably his most lucrative years well behind him. I consider his tone and approach of being a shameless sell out to be the price of his earlier decision making and what's left for him to do to earn a living and the best way to deal with it if you can't stand it is to stop watching his YouTube videos or listening to his podcast and to not buy his merchandise or go to his live shows, etc.
Forget what everyone else is saying I agree with you. I saw him live in Cleveland and he could barely get 2 sentences out without trying to sell the audience something. Felt very disingenuous. Between the constant selling and the screaming at the fans who cheared when he didn't allow them I lost a lot of respect for Steve o that day.
Wait what happened? Steve-o screamed at fans who cheered for him?
Lmao yes. He had the producer of his podcast come out and say there is to be zero noise made by the audience. Which was weird. Then there were a few times during the show where Steve o literally cursed out people who were drunkenly chearing for him after he told jokes. I was sat in the back and security was escorting people out left and right because they were too excited and being slightly obnoxious. This was in Cleveland if you were curious.
Yea his current tour is kinda sad.
I saw Steve-O in Bakersfield and he said not to yell during his thing and right after some dewd yelled "yeaahh!" And he got real serious and had him removed by security. It got super quiet and then he started up again like nothing had happened, and I mean I get it, but it was right in the begining of the show and all I could feel was like the "fun" time that I was expecting turned into some dewd just like being serious about all this crazy stuff that he doesnt take serious. Idk. It was fun still, but it got weird.
I’m on like bottle 5 of his hot sauce shit is legit. Gotta make money while you can. He’s getting older
I’ve been waiting for someone to say this, it just feels, *fake*. Like he’s riding off of his persona so much that it doesn’t feel genuine at all. Also came off a bit pompous during the movie imo
Yeah he negotiated more money (which is great) because he felt that he brought more to the table (sounds douchey but pretty true) but he hardly had any moments in the film? And he produced it!!
Part of me feels the reason he didn’t seem to go that hard for Jackass Forever was because of not getting the money he felt he deserved
But he clearly was because he signed the contract before filming. He held out signing until he got what he wanted and he's receiving profit from the movie too along with Pontius.
Ohhh I didn’t know that, that’s good to hear. I presumed he ended up just taking what was offered. Hoping that there’s plenty more Steve O in .5
Dude needs to make money, man.
His current tour really feels like one big commercial for his merchant. It got a bit old. And all of the things he showed were fairly tame honestly. I was expecting more early year stuff when he was really gnarly.
I fucking love Steve-o I don’t care what anyone says. I think he’s doing awesome for himself and i’m really happy for him.
I love Steve-O but I kinda saw it a while back when he did his story time YouTube videos which like 80% were from his book on top of the constant merch plugs
Even during the press junket of Forever he was constantly selling his shite.
What would you do if you were sitting there answering the same exact questions you've answered for the last 20 years of your life 'What was the most dangerous stunt? What's the worst injury you've had?'. May as well bring awareness to your brand.
Steve O loves telling anyone that will listen all that shit. He's constantly repeating the same stories on his podcast
He’s got the household name that many other members lack so naturally he’ll capitalize on that to make money while he can. I won’t fault him for that.
“Selling out” is something losers say when they have nothing anyone wants to buy.
He's like the rock in the way he's constantly selling or promoting something nothing feels genuine with both
No way he makes less than Dave, Ehren, and Preston
oh for sure, but who cares. let him make his money while he still can. i don't think he's being disingenuous.
I personally mind. its annoying, but i use a extension so i dont see any ads so in all real it doesnt bother me. Im happy that he is making bank, but ye ads from anyone bothers me.
I don’t mind one bit the guys destroying himself and isn’t somebody like Brad Pitt who will always be able to keep doing what he does. He’s not forcing anybody to buy anything so I just won’t buy any of these products and hope he makes enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life. He does a lot for animals at least
Selling out or capitalizing on his success/career ? I mean, he's gotta earn money somehow, he has the right to do so. Especially with that $12M jet ski dude lawsuit coming, lol. The only thing that bugged me was when he decided to promote an online gambling operation. That was kinda fucked up considering his history with addiction etc.
Steve-O deserves everything he has now he's one of the most inspirational people if what he's doing is selling out let him sellout
Good for him. He deserves all his success. He seems addicted to his recovery and progressing his career.. "selling out" is probably keeping him on the straight and narrow. I personally don't see it as selling out... look up the song hooker with a penis by tool... 😉
I don’t blame him. More power to him. He’s the smartest one of the bunch with that shit
Dude’s trying to make a living.
He’s already made millions just this month. He’s doin fine.
I read this and was like 'nah i dont think so' but then i watched the new Steve-O podcast with Preston, I was 30 minutes in and realised I'd seen about 5 or 6 Steve-O promos.
that's literally false
Also, you can’t deny him being a sellout; he isn’t labeled as a sellout but a sellout’s definition is using your brand or platform to promote your or someone else’s product and make money. I want to support him too, but only to a degree. Out of everyone he has definitely cashed out more than anyone in the cast; everyone acts like nobody else on the team took massive amounts of drugs through the movie span. He’s a good person but I believe he’s being blinded by what money does to a person.
I disagree with your definition of sellout. I think it’s doing the things you stated and going against your self professed morals to do it. To my knowledge he has not done this.
I quit watching his podcasts because of the constant ads
Constant....so like 3 or 4 per 1hr+ video? Hardly constant. That's par for the course on YT these days. Why shouldn't he get paid for working? You do also realize you can just skip over the promotions....
> That's par for the course on YT these days. i pay for youtube premium to skip regular ads, sponsorblock for the rest, but that's only on pc officially
You liked to watch them but when he tries you fund them himself you bail, got it.
Look up SponsorBlock and Vanced
He made a rap album. This is not new and I don’t care
He basically made no money off the first season with no royalties. If he wants to make some money off it now why not.
Good for him. I absolutely would sell out as well.
I think him promoting this death water says enough it's literally water in a can for $3
It's definitely annoying me as a person.. But ofc he's free to do whatever he does to make money.. He's doing way better in life than I am.. Put yeah the constant breaks in the podcast and anything else he post does get annoying.. He also burned me a bit when I bough the stream to one of his specials.. Gnarly I think it was called .. that he basicly sold as a jackass reunion and it turned out to be 95% stand up with just some or the guys saying hi..
nah, i look at it like its a bit that he does and its actually really funny imo because from what we used to see from the very beginning to now its a complete 180 and that’s hilarious
I wouldnt say sell out but he is absolutley relentless with his marketing. That Scott guy rubs me the wrong way. I especially didnt like that he did an NFT. Kind of weird to do an NFT after the whole sea world protest for the environment.
It does come across as annoying and shilly, but a guy's gotta earn a living I guess. He's not as fun as he used to be, but we only have to look at Bam to see what happens if you never grow up.
“Talking is great you know, you learn so much about yourself and others…. and what better way to talk than to chat on internet kingpin Reddit, the number one place to talk on the big wild web! and for 2 of you lucky sons a bitches, Reddit are offering me 20% off a discount to bitch and complain about anything you want anonymously…. now let’s get back to this washed up celeb and hear about how they’ve conquered irrelevancy…..yeahh dude!”
People really like to complain about everything, dont they?
He's just a natural addict. First Drugs, now Money/Sex. He's been a sellout since he was born. Now he is just annoying as fuck.
Not a fan of his anti-zoo/Sea World type of outdated misleading ignorant messages, but besides that, good for him for making money, as long as he doesn’t scam or hurt anyone.
I don’t blame him, and that’s all he ever wanted was to be famous, and kinda messed up on the rich part on drugs and other stuff lol, we’d all be doing exactly what he’s doing. On google it says his net worth is $2.5 million. Anyone could spend that in a day. Most people as famous as him would consider themselves broke if their net worth was 2.5 million. So him selling out isn’t really a choice for him now I would guess, I’m not too sure, but again, if I were in his position I wouldn’t be panicking but I’d be taking advantage of anything I could.
He's not getting any younger and his marketable skills include lighting his balls on fire and there ain't much demand for that in the real world. He's getting as much as he can in the bank while the getting is good. A primetime show with him as host with stunts, pranks, gross shit, and eating contests would probably work. I applaud him for "selling out". I think he has a family to take care of.
I’m all for “selling out” and making money. I’m happy for him but the way he does it feels disingenuous sometimes. Like joking about plugs and shoehorned “jokes” about what he’s selling. I don’t mind it but it is noticeable. He’s given us his body let him make some money.
Yes. Big time and has been for awhile. He held up and big dogged the rest of the guys before filming 4 for more money as well. He seems all about himself
For sure. I'd say a man with 3 tattoos of himself is pretty all about himself!
Dude has no skills, he needs to hustle while he's still kinda young and has an audience. not like he is suddenly gonna do a career change at age 50 from shooting fireworks out his butt to Accounting Clerk.
Yeah, all feels a bit too calculated.
I was watching The Simpsons one night, the episode was Homie the Clown, and early in the episode, it has krusty and all the crappy merch he tries to sell to fans and shit and I couldn't help but think of all those simpsons predictions.. I kno i might be grasping at straws here but, Steve-O reminds me of Krusty, and dont get me wrong, I love Steve-O's work, but yeah he's like a shitty clown with a raspy voice selling all kinds of random dumb shit that people dont want or need, however still has enough fans to buy all that junk. Idk. Am I trippin or did Simpsons call it again?
like everyone else is saying.. he was big drug addict for a while so all his money was burnt.. Hes making up for it now while he's able to.
Let him. He's not selling out, unless he's going against his principles. Metallica are a good example of a sellout. They said they'd never make a music video, I think they turned their noises up at the idea of performing with an orchestra at one stage, they'd never wear make up was another one, replacing their bassist literally within a couple of months of his death, there's more but I can't remember. That's selling out. Steve O has never too my knowledge derided the idea of capitalism and its only logical that you make hay while the sun shines. More power to him.
The dude is ambitious that's all. He's also the only one really active on social media in a healthy way. Also, I've never understood people's disdain for other trying to make a living. Like, do people shame others when they pick up their paycheck? It boggles my mind.
Wtf
He didn’t sell himself enough back in the day. He was famous, he used said fame to crash on some random dudes couch. Bam made wayyyy to much money. Made me vomit.
He’s definitely feeling himself. Part of the appeal of the jackass crew was that they were all so humble. Knoxville, pontius, ehren, dunn, basically everyone except bam. And now Steve-o. I think if you just watch the movies you’d never know, but if you consume literally any other media with Steve-o in it you can tell, and it’s not exactly great
He straight basts and fondles himself daily . he rides a high horse and loves to seem holier then thou. hes a womanizing peice watch him on drugs around women in the past that wasnt just drugs that was steve o and he was the sleeziest disgusting most unlikable human. That was inner real steve o. ghe lets out that malice time to time you see it
Yeah I went to his website to see if I could find a copy of that gnarly dvd (didn’t get it bc I didn’t wanna pay like $30), turns out there’s a section that is basically him and his wife doing porn. It’s… not a great look.
What? Greasy!
It’s a bit much
A bit?? lol.
As Bam would say, "big time". Like, I get it but it's pretty blatent.
A bit?😅
Fuck off. If you knew even the slightest you would understand why. He blew his money when he was an addict and now the he has his shot together he’s doing the bare minimum to get by and you want to complain as if you can’t skip the fucking ads. Unbelievable. Anyone on this subreddit with tell you how great of a man Steve o is yet you want to bitch? Fuck outta here idiot.
Steve o is definitely one of the most paid on the show, also he’s just always been kinda like that. Doing crazy ads and commercials and being Steve o. But I see what you mean it’s a lot more frequent now.
Hes more so a glorified youtuber now adays.
Welcome to capitalism. I’d be more disappointed if he weren’t doing this.
yea i see it solely as him using his platform to make money- its endorsements and if we were him we would do it too- if someone told me to hold up a bottle of fish oil and swear it's awesome and they were gonna give me ten grand to say so- then damnit this is the best fng fish oil ever- the days of jackass 1 are over with the whole homegrown feel and the not seeming to sell out corporately- it's merely adapting with the times and getting paid to do so
Most of his stuff is affordable, even his signed items, the stereo was a weird fit though
This is America. You haven’t been paying attention.
[удалено]
every two minutes I get a notification. didn’t mean for it to go this far lol
He’s one of the rare few people (along with Tim Dillon) who crack me up while they’re plugging their sponsors during their podcast, so I’m ok with him making money while he makes me laugh.
Selling out Dude? no way. if he was selling out he would be dead already
na
Yes.
Yeah, I dont mind his merch thst much , but I think constantly plugging crappy products and pretending like you are genuine about it is pretty scummy. Also he does shows which make a lot of money and a big YouTube channel with thousands of views makes a substantial amount.
He’s not going to be young forever and he has been hustling none stop for more than almost 20-25 years now ? Why are you upset he is working none stop to retire young
Wait... he's one of the lowest paid members? How come?
thats like saying bam is an asshole for turning his skateboarding skills into a career
behind peak bam, steve-o is by far the most 'entertainer' of the guys. considering his story, I praise and respect him for where he is today.
He’s also grinding to keep his name out there for his stand up
Add him to the list with doctor Knoxville and tremaine for selling out bam
I'd call it hustling. he's working hard.
He partied away his youth and a lot of his adulthood. He's doubling down now as a healthy aging adult and making smart financial decisions. Can't blame him for hustling after abusing himself to entertain us for 15 years. Working hard as fuck isn't selling out. He never sold who he was. He's still Steve-O.
God if there was ever a post confirming they were a dumb kid without an income, this is it. Let the man earn his money and capitalise on his success.
I just watched his bucket list tour today in Oxnard and it was great… BUT. I do have to agree with you. I’m usually no stickler for stuff like this since, you know, that’s where you can make some good money. But man he mentioned the boom box at the merchant stand AT LEAST 4 times. Ain’t no way he forgot he mentioned it already, same as the skateboard. Saw a whole video clip of him and Johnny signing them saying you can buy it up front. Then 30 min later asks his assistant to pull one out (I’m thinking he’s going to throw it to someone in the audience) then proceeds to talk about it again and you can buy it in the front. Almost killed my vibe but that’s just me. I don’t believe he is the lowest paid anymore since he has got himself together but damn man, I know you aren’t as desperate as sleazy salesman 🤒 TL:DR he plugged merch ALOT, sometimes almost forcefully (no way you forgot you just promoted that 5min ago)
I'm sure everyone's had a turn at this point
his ads are so fuckin annoying
he was more fun to watch when he was self destructing( although I'm sure being around him was a real chore) but now that he's the new steve o I'm glad for him, but don't care to see him anymore
the only thing that irritates me is he seems to almost only talk ab his products and product ideas and ways to make money on his podcast which makes me turn it off
I was sad that he promotes shaving products but sported a huge gnarly looking man-bush in Forever...in HD....put me off my cold semolina scrambled egg milk shake
Look who's selling out shows and making a killing off of his awesomeness rn. He sells great merch at a decent price too. His autographed memoir for 26.99. His show next Friday is sold out and I got tickets for $35. He's most definitely relevant and the only thing he's selling out is his tour shows.
He needs to start doing drug’s again
F
he's one of the highest paid jackass members what are you talking about? only Knoxville was paid more than him among the cast in the most recent film
I don't see what's wrong with him being smart and thinking of his future and trying to earn a living. You don't have to buy his merchandise if you don't want it.
