Big Brother Magazine Is Back

In the decade before Jackass-related content started to flood MTV, Big Brother magazine was the source for all half-crazy skateboarding enthusiasts. Is today’s world ready for it to return?

A mix of insider skate coverage, outrageous comedy and boundary-pushing social commentary, Big Brother was a one-of-a-kind magazine that fostered the budding careers of the future Jackass crew (Johnny Knoxville’s first stunts appeared in the mag’s video Number Two). After Larry Flynt bought the magazine in the late ’90s, the content was somewhat toned-down, which resulted in the magazine eventually folding in 2004.

Well, according to a new announcement from Big Brother alum and Jackass producer Jeff Tremaine, the magazine will be back—on the internet. It seems that Big Brother will be relaunched as a section of jackassworld.com, the official Jackass site, where it will serve as the crew’s destination for credible skate coverage. The back issues will be available, and the majority of the original magazine team is also expected to return.

For some old school Big Brother flavor, check out the intro from their first VHS tape Shit, which was released in 1996:
