Steve-O's Bucket List trailer reveals a 'f---ed up love story' that makes people pass out

For his third comedy special, Steve-O wanted to do everything he was never allowed to do on Jackass — and the result makes people actually pass out.

In an EW exclusive first look, Steve-O's Bucket List trailer features a combination of Jackass-like stunts and standup comedy filmed in July in London during his sold-out Bucket List comedy tour (watch the trailer above). The comic calls the new special "the greatest thing [he's] ever done," evidenced by the fact that it made a ton of people pass out.

"While doing the tour, the record for people passing out was 11 at one show, and we absolutely average at least one person per show," Steve-O tells EW with pride. "Everybody is invited to cover their eyes as needed, and I won't be offended if you do."

While his goal with these new stunts wasn't to make people pass out, Steve-O wanted to "push everything further" than he's ever been able to before "to lash out at all of the community guidelines that I'm forced to deal with on YouTube and on social media."

"I just wanted to go crazy and make something so completely inappropriate for any platform out there," he says. "People passing out, it's not anything that I ever would've wished for, but given that it just happens, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit proud of it."

Steve-O laughs, adding, "I've never heard about people passing out during Jackass movies, and the fact that they pass out so much watching this show I think is the most objective metric indicating that I indeed raised the bar for crazy."

Another thing Steve-O didn't plan for was getting his happily ever after while making this special. His partner Lux Wright serves as the production designer and executive producer on the project, and her involvement turned the special into "the most f---ed up love story ever," according to Steve-O.

Describing how the basis of the show was to perform "higher level" and "forbidden" stunts than he's ever done before, "the reality of taking on that mission was that it was going to have implications on my relationship," Steve-O says. "The theme of the show, the glue that ties it all together, is how my relationship endured me carrying out all of these bucket list stunts."

The first bucket list item, "The S--- Hits the Fan," Steve-O describes as "pretty simple and idiotic" but gave him the epiphany that he "needed to put a ring on it" with Lux, who was "shockingly okay" what he was doing. "When everybody else was running for their lives, Lux was moving forward to get a better shot," he says. "That was the moment when I knew she was the one. I asked her to marry me, at which point you have to have figured out whether you're going to have kids or not. And that brings in the next major bucket list item, which addresses our stance on having children. Aggressively."

The second stunt, "Vasectomy Olympics," is what Steve-O reveals as the main culprit in making people pass out cold in their seats. Inspired by a joke the comic heard as a kid, "'What's the definition of macho? A man who jogs home from his own vasectomy,'" from the age of 12, Steve-O thought about getting a vasectomy and "doing a lot more than just jog and set a new bar for the definition of macho. Rather than jogging, I went bareback horseback riding, and from there it just got more and more extreme."

His engagement made doing "Vasectomy Olympics" as the next stunt "timely and appropriate," Steve-O adds. "We both have just always felt very strongly that we don't want to have children, and she maintains to this day that my vasectomy is the most wonderful gift she's ever received. The fun thing about it is how gung-ho Lux was for it."

However, audience members of the show felt differently, as they kept passing out in their seats when watching footage of the stunt onscreen. "I was very shocked when I discovered that people were passing out from it because vasectomies are really not terribly invasive or gory on any level," Steve-O says. "I thought the footage of the procedure was totally underwhelming, and I just thought it was great that we did so much funny stuff immediately afterwards, but it turns out there's just a sliver of the population that cannot handle a vasectomy, even as minimally invasive as it is."

Another stunt that caused people to pass out while watching it was "Spinal Tap," in which Steve-O gets an epidural on-camera. "They're doing all these things to me that are horrifying, but I was effectively oblivious to it, and it's just really fascinating and dark. And after that particular stunt, I just started sobbing," he says.

For anyone else, those tears would be a normal reaction to what just happened. But for Steve-O, they were actually happy tears. "The bar for my stunts is just so impossibly high, and it was tears of joy that I was crying for having raised that bar," Steve-O explains.
