'Jackass' Guys Spoof 'Social Network' For Critics' Choice Promo

In anticipation of the Critics' Choice Movie Awards next week, MTV News enlisted the cast of "Jackass 3D" to help spread the word about the star-studded event, by way of four hilarious parodies of the Critics' Choice nominees for Best Picture.

We caught up with our favorite merry band of misfits — Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, etc. — during the filming of their take on "The Social Network" to get the lowdown on the movie spoofs.

In the "Social Network" scene we watched them shoot, Knoxville and company take on a tense boardroom, but in predictably outrageous fashion. Knoxville plays Mark Zuckerberg in a blond curly wig and Margera is an interrogator trying to get Zuckerberg's attention by opening up the shirt of another person at the table ("Jackass" castmember Dave England) and licking his armpit.

"We're spoofing four movies. We've never done anything like this before," Knoxville said. "So God knows how they're going to turn out. I play Mark Zuckerberg; Wee-Man and Preston play the Winklevoss twins."

There is also a clip of Margera sprawled out on a conference table, totally naked — a situation Knoxville and Margera felt obligated to explain.

"Poor Bam, the room was ice-cold," Knoxville said. "Everyone, please know that the room was ice-cold in there."

"Every time that I'm naked, it's always cold out," Margera protested. "It's Los Angeles, and it's freezing."

"He could be standing on the equator, and he'd call it cold out," Dunn added, nixing Margera's masked attempts to make excuses for his physical appearance in the scene.

Tune into the Critics' Choice Movie Awards on Friday, January 14, on VH1.
