Question

Tv shows that feature situations SO uncomfortable, you cant help but cringe.

Answer 1

The Dirty Sanchez Crew

* "Griptape": Dragging Pritchard's bare buttocks across a strip of grip tape, the sandpaper-like material on top of skateboards, and then drenching them in vinegar and salt.
* "Pancho Abuse": Pancho enjoys drinking copious amounts of alcohol, which more often than not leads to him passing out. When this happens, the other boys are quick to take advantage. So far, they have shaved his eyebrows off, taped his mouth shut and attached two dildos to his hands, inserted many cigarettes into his mouth, nose and ears, shaven a reverse mohican onto his head, superglued his nose shut and turned him into "The Hulk" using green spray paint.
* "Pubic Pizza": Competing against each other by seeing who can collect the most pubic hair from a range of people in a set amount of time, and the loser (the one with the least amount of hair) having to eat a pizza topped with the hair. Joyce failed to turn up and subsequently lost, was forced to eat the hair-covered pizza, and even continued eating after vomiting on it.
* "Beer Enema": A favourite trick of Pritchard's is to have beer or lager poured into his anus through a tube - he then fills a pint glass with the beer from his backside and Joyce drinks it. He throws the beer up again into the glass, before drinking it for a second time. This in turn causes Pancho to vomit his pizza.
* Volunteering to be bombarded with golf balls, hockey pucks, footballs and rugby balls from close range.
* Pritchard volunteering to have his bell-end pierced - with slightly bloody consequences. He has since used his Prince Albert piercing for additional shock value by hanging weights and various household objects from it.
* Stripping naked and attempting to buy beer from a cornershop, jumping in front of people, or surprising single male golfers.
* Nailing Pritchard's penis to a plank of wood using a U-shaped nail
* Piercing their ears, tying weights to the earrings and throwing them down cliffs
* Each member running on a treadmill, collecting their sweat into a jar, and then holding hot stones for as long as possible. The loser is the person who drops it first, and must drink the jar of sweat.
* Tying Pancho to the top of a ladder then pushing it over
* Generally abusing Pancho i.e. throwing bricks at his head, clamping a bike lock around his neck and having Joyce swallow the key. He eventually broke free after Joyce excreted the key several days later (the boys left Pancho to find the key for himself inside the toilet bowl).
* Naked paintball
* Naked races over hurdles with barbed wire across the top.
* Pouring paint up their backsides and squirting it out onto a large sheet of paper on the ground.
* Shaving off Pritchard's hair. In the third series, Pritchard specifically asks Dainton not to touch his hair, as he has been growing it for three years and would not accept losing it in three seconds. Despite this warning, Dainton crept into his room one night and shaved off part of his hair. For the rest of the series, Pritchard is shown with a bald head.
* "Spunk Chops" is an unaired stunt, but is viewable on the first Series DVD. Each member would masturbate for 1 week and collect their sperm. The person with the least amount of sperm at the end of the week would have to take every other members sperm (including their own) and rub it into their face.....Pancho lost.

* Launching clay pigeon shooting targets at Pritch's head, causing deep cuts to the skull.
* Dangling their testicles over the pockets of a snooker table, to have snooker balls pelted at them at high speed.

The Office

Answer 3

"Man vs. Wild" has some scenes that I have a hard time watching. Like the guy drinking the liquid from elephant poop, eating a raw fish straight from the river, eating an uncooked frog, and other fun stuff like that. I've only seen a few episodes, but I'm sure there are more examples.
