Don't Try This at Home: The Steve-O Video is the first DVD by television personality and stuntmanSteve-O,[1] released in 2001. It mostly contains footage that couldn't be shown on related MTV show Jackass, due to censorship.
Some noteworthy scenes are Steve-O drinking bong water, the fireball face off where Steve-O spits a fireball while doing a backflip, burning his face in the process, ice skating and falling through thin ice on the Cuyahoga River and the vodkaIV where Steve-O gets five shots of vodka pumped through his blood stream courtesy of a registered nurse. It also contains the video "The Career Ender," appropriately titled because it was once believed to end Steve-O's career. Highlights of the Career Ender show Steve-O's first attempt at the butterfly, in which he stapleguns his scrotum to his leg.
After a falling-out with Steve O's old manager, Nick Dunlap, Dunlap re-released the DVD, advertising it as a "Now 100% special edition". It is the same disc sold in 2001, but with a red cover. This was completely unauthorized by Steve-O.[citation needed] Steve-O later sued Dunlap and his attorney Jason Berk.[2]
Don't Try This at Home sold 140,000 copies,[3] and was followed by Don't Try This at Home Volume 2: The Tour[4] (2002) and Steve-O: Out on Bail[5] (2003), which show Steve-O on a tour with other Jackass cast members (such as Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn) and their exploits and stunts during that time. A fourth video, Steve-O: The Early Years (2004), records Steve-O engaging in stunts and pranks done primarily for his and his friends' amusement, as opposed to performing for an audience.
