Jackass' Bam Margera stars in his own show simply titled "Viva La Bam". The tagline for the show is, "whatever the f**k I want" which pretty well explains the show. It sounds like a weird concept, but this is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. It just goes through days of Bam deciding what crazy thing he will do next, whether its holding concerts in his house, going to Vegas, or smashing Don Vito’s car (which happens almost every episode).

The cast of the show is Bam’s parents Ape (April) and Phil, his uncle Don Vito and a bunch of Bam's friends who live with him. He calls his house "castle Bam" and I can see why, with 14 acres of woodland and hills, a three-floor house full of jukeboxes, suits of Armour, a pirate themed bar, and best of all, a painting of a unicorn on the front door.

The cast is mainly guys who have been on Jackass: Ryan Dunn, Rake Yohn, Raab Himself, and Brandon DiCamillo (Dico). My personal favourite is Compton Ass Terry, we don't know much about him, all we know is that he's from Compton.

7 out of 7 spitting llamas!

Here are MESS' choices for the top 5 Viva la Bam Episodes:

1. Season One Episode 8: The Scavenger Hunt: Nothing beats a good old-fashioned Scavenger Hunt to pass the time. But this isn’t your regular scavenger hunt, this one has some insane and hilarious tasks, such as “suck a fart”, “get a math equation tattooed somewhere on you” or “get a bee sting”. There were four teams: Gnarkill, Lady Boys, Bloodhound Gang, and Policia; the winner got to do whatever they wanted with Ape’s baby grand piano. This episode made me laugh until my sides were sore, as many other ones. But nothing beats a scavenger hunt. Click here to view the: Scavenger Hunt List

2. Season Three: Episode 4: Rockstars: Bam gives Vito and Phil a crash course on how to be Rockstars. From singing lessons, to dance lessons and even tips from HIM’s lead singer himself, Ville Valo. It ends up that they pass the test and Vito gets “Bruce Springsteen” tattooed on his right but cheek; Rock on.

3. Season Two Episode 7: Tree Top Casino: Its Arbor Day so Bam decides to celebrate it in the best way, by building a tree top casino. It had everything from slot machines, card tables, a working Zip Line, and an ATM machine. Arbor Day Rules.

4. Season One Episode 6: Christmas: Bam decides that he is going to try and make his house visible from space from all the Christmas Crap he decorates the house with. The funniest part is when they gets snow machines and have a huge snowball fights.

5.  Season Two Episode 1: Bam’s New House. This episode is hilarious, as it first introduces us to the new “Castle Bam”. They were evicted from the old house due to reckless behavior and disturbance of the peace. Also, is shows the new, HIM inspired makeover that the hose gets.
