CKY2K (2000)
★★★ — CKY2K (2000)
CKY2K arrived in 2000 as the second instalment in Bam Margera's self-distributed home video series, shot on consumer-grade camcorders around West Chester, Pennsylvania, with effectively no formal budget. Margera, then a teenager making a name for himself on the skateboarding circuit, was self-producing and self-distributing these tapes long before Jackass (which CKY directly inspired, with Margera, Ryan Dunn, and Brandon DiCamillo all crossing over to the MTV show in 2000) brought the format to a mainstream audience. The CKY tapes circulated almost entirely by word of mouth and dubbing, which gave them a genuine underground quality that the later televised version could never quite replicate. This one is notable for including a chaotic Iceland trip, shot on the same scrappy equipment as everything else.
This is my childhood. Early Bam and crew defined my entire teenage years. Me and my friends must have watched this hundreds of times. Rewatched it last night and it's still hilarious. Childish and at times disgusting but so funny and so entertaining. It's super poorly made but you don't watch it for the cinematography
