Reason why I love Jackass, or why it's funnier than all imitations: by foolio 11/23/2004, 8:20pm PST
Jackass is funny because it combines both a) jackassery(n.) and b) what you call the 'icing'.

So instead of just jumping into the water next to an alligator (boring and dangerous), they have Steve-O put on the leopard thong and unicycle off a dock next to an alligator (better!). Or instead of just hitting a beehive, they set up an elaborate scheme wherein the victim puts on a blindfold and starts hitting the pinata, only to find out after a few swings that this is no pinata! Brilliant.

I didn't bother to watch the clip.
