Deaf Teens The Jackass Wannabes

VIDEO: A hilarious short movie of Deaf teens performing the Jackass wannabes.

Jackass is an American reality series, originally shown on MTV from 2000 to 2002, featuring people performing various dangerous, crude, self-injuring stunts and pranks.



The video show has a bunch of funny skits, but idiotic pranks with lack of sense of humor. Perhaps, there is not one moment where you stop laughing at a bunch of Deaf teens wannabes. Its a worthwhile to watch, though.
