Around midnight last night Jackass and Viva La Bam star Ryan Dunn posted the above photo to his Twitter account. Three hours later, he was pronounced dead in a car accident. TMZ reports:
34-year-old Dunn appeared in all of the “Jackass” movies — famously shoving a toy car into his rectum in the first flick back in 2002.
Dunn and an unidentified person both died in the crash which happened around 3 a.m. at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township. It’s unclear who was driving the car.
So, basically two drunk assholes got into a car and luckily managed to only kill themselves instead of innocent bystanders. I’d say that’s a happy ending, but only if footage turns up of Ryan Dunn looking into a camera and saying, “I call this one ‘Natural Selection.’”

WOW! How incredibly disrespectful! No, people should not drink and drive, but many do. Hopefully lives will be saved because of this loss and people will learn from it. I no way, shape or form is this a “happy ending.” 2 lives were lost, one of which brought smiles to the faces of millions as well as donated millions to charities. Not that Jackass was ever really my “cup of tea” per se, but to others it was. The comedy genre lost someone who was great at what he did! Even if that something involved shoving toy filled condoms up his ass! RIP Ryan Dunn and Unidentified Passenger! God bless your family, friends, and fans!
