Look, nobody is saying the cast of Jackass is made up of individuals who look down their noses at working-class America.
They’ve stuck plastic toys up their anuses and wrought unspeakable horrors upon their manhood. It’s not exactly highbrow stuff.
The thing is, Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O and the rest of the gang aren’t hillbillies, they’re more reckless skater boys (bois, as Avril Lavigne and the kids might say).
Gumgang, on the other hand, is certifiably redneck and has earned the nickname ‘the Hillbilly Stuntman’.
VICE headed to Florida – where else? – to meet with the legend himself:
Landscaper by day and stoned prankster the rest of the time, Gumgang approaches every feat of insanity with a toothless grin. From smoking fish bongs to getting down and dirty at the infamous Sausage Castle, Gumgang’s Jackass-inspired stunts are Worldstar-certified.
But underneath it all, he’s a small town family man with a passion for entertaining people. You just might wince in the process.
If you don’t wince, I worry about you.
He has upwards of 16 000 followers on Instagram and they don’t follow him for sage wisdom or financial advice.
What you see is what you get. What I see is yet another example of how social media is melting people’s brains but don’t let me ruin the good time:
