Before there was Jackass...before there was Tom Green...there was Ralph Zavadil.
His cable access television show, The Cap'n Video Show, ran from 1990 to 1995, spawning a small but loyal cult following. Each week Ralph performed a series of idiotic and occasionally dangerous stunts, challenging the sensibilities of his small Southern Ontario audience. With the advent of the internet and reality television still years away, his unique brand of gross-out stunt comedy was truly ahead of its time. All it took was a broken neck for him to get noticed.
Directed by Jay Cheel

@conzy1987 I've never seen so many people laughing and gagging at the same time either! It was weird seeing my zits as big as a baseball and having my proverbial raincoat pop open but observing the audiences' reaction made me proud. Jay Cheel is a REAL artist....I just pretend.
