The first series received mixed reaction, with some people claiming it was just a lacklustre imitation of the American show Jackass, while others, complained that it pushed the boundaries of taste too far, due to a high content of extreme stunts and strong profanity, as well as full-frontal male nudity. Some fans adore the television show and accept that their aim isn't to imitate Jackass. The boys are praised for their fun-loving hedonism and courage in their dangerous stunts. One review claims 'They make Jackass look like the Royal Shakespeare Company', and also on the cover of the Dirty Sanchez: The Movie DVD, there is a similar quote by MAXIM saying "Makes Jackass Look Like The Teletubbies,."
