Talk:Johnny Knoxville

Saw IV

If it was "confirmed" that he's going to be in Saw IV, why is there no citation? There is no mention of this anywhere to back up this claim. I'm removing this. The section is called "credits" not "wild rumors"

If you are going to put it back in you better have a source.

I thought the same thing. If this was 100% true, then all the rumor/movie sites would have some sort of cite. - The Alpha Couple 22:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Caffrey's

Is that knoxville in the caffreys advert from a few years ago?

Terminology

Born? Do you mean founded? My, most of the articles on wiki are either plagarized or written by dolts. Save your storage and just have everyones 'user page' under pseudointellectual. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.67.228.134 (talk) 18:51, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup

Can whoever is reverting my edits explain why before doing so again? Among what I did was remove birthplace/name from opening (see WP:MOSBIO for the only things needed to be included there), fixed up the section outlining the films he's been in, which was listed in a bullet-point, trivia style (WP:TRIVIA), use the common reference style ("reflist"), alphabetize the categories, and introduce the paragraph heading style that seems to be used everywhere (i.e. FAs like Lindsay Lohan or Diane Keaton). All Hallow's Wraith 03:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

No, you did not use the paragraph naming convention used everywhere. Those articles you cited do not have a subheading named "biography" (the whole damn thing is a biography), real names are almost always used in the lead sentence, the filmography was not trivia, it was a list format which is perfectly fine to use, there is no edict saying that {{reflist}} is better than <references /> (which can give you more control over how the references look) and there is no reason to alphabetize the categories. In short, none of your changes seemed to have improved the article, so I reverted them rather than spend the time picking out the the most glaring mistakes to keep the other unneeded changes. — Ocatecir^T 03:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't say the whole thing is a biography - the references and external links aren't. All Hallow's Wraith 03:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Now you're just being silly. — Ocatecir^T 03:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, not quite sure how this works, but PJ didn't graduate from South-Doyle, he graduated from South-Young High School in South Knoxville. South-Doyle HS did not exist prior to fall of 1991 when South-Young and Doyle were merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.13.110.211 (talk) 12:17, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Neck brace

Johnny Knovxille is wearing a neck brace after his recent WWE apearance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.174.121 (talk) 16:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Penis incident

I don't know if this should be added, Knoxville had an incident while doing a stunt that did something to him involving his penis. Someone should look this up and add it. I'm to lazy to do it! Yourname (talk) 23:59, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Um, that covers a wide range of possibilities. No pun intended.

Bad picture

With all the footage of Knoxville, can we find one that doesn't include him having demon-looking eyes? Thanks and good night. Lots42 (talk) 12:40, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Weezer

{{editsemiprotected}} In the early 90's Knoxville lived with the members of The rock group Weezer at the address 2226 Amherst Avenue,Los Angeles, California. At the time, none of them were famous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noname9081 (talk • contribs) 08:06, 6 January 2010

• Could you reference this for me with a second or third party source? -- Matthew Glennon (^T/_C\^D) 13:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Not done: Please give source. Ask again once souce have been given. --Stroppolo^talk 18:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

The true story is this; Rivers Cuomo and Matt Sharp lived in the 2226 Amherst Ave. house that was famous for "In the Garage" and the "Kitchen Tapes" from Weezer's debut album. Karl Koch (Roommate, friend, roadie, staff member, band member, etc...) and two other friends moved into The Fuller-Martel Plaza apartment complex on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, next door to the apartment that housed their friends in Wax (as well as future jackass members PJ Clapp (Johnny Knoxville), Handsome Jack, and Loomis). The early members of Weezer were great friends with the future Jackass starts and band members of Wax. There are many sources of this information that are not easily found online. This subject was often talked about in 2010 when Weezer's single "Memories" was featured in the Jackass 3D movie. Good luck finding it, the source is out there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.239.73 (talk) 17:32, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Edition may be needed

I have read this sentence:

"On February 1, 2007, Knoxville and his wife of twelve years, Melanie, filed for legal separation."

I am not english but, does not this phrase seem to say that his wife is indeed twelve years old?

Shouldn't that be changed to

"On February 1, 2007, Knoxville and his wife for twelve years, Melanie, filed for legal separation."

Excuse me if I am wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.128.240.68 (talk) 07:33, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

You are wrong. Ridernyc (talk) 08:09, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Old Photo

I think the main page photo is too old and too bad, there're lots of good photos of Johnny Knoxville in Google Images. I don't have a Wikipedia account so i can't do anything. Please, try to change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.109.84.255 (talk) 18:12, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Johnny Knoxville went to South Doyle High School, needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.130.64.19 (talk) 05:32, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Controversies

I deleted the "Controversies" section just because I don't think they qualify as "controversies". If those are "controversies" some people should have 50 pages of them... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yamaz (talk • contribs) 18:48, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Better photo needed

Don't we have newer and better photos of him? The current photo is from a weird angle and his face is in the midst of an unnatural strain. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 19:49, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
