This hidden-camera series follows four lifelong friends -- Brian "Q"' Quinn, James "Murr"' Murray, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano -- who take dares to an outrageous level. To find out who is best under pressure, the guys compete in awkward and outrageous hidden-camera hijinks with the loser performing what is deemed to be the most-mortifying challenge yet.
This tv show contains 25 potentially triggering events.
In one episode after some dogs were used for a challenge, a memorial is shone for one of the dogs passing. The dog most likely past peacefully and it is not shone in the show
there are some challenges and punishments where they pretend to be injured or have a disability, like their arm being in a cast, or wearing sunglasses that make them "blind".
there are some challenges / punishments surrounding bad parenting, such as Q's baseball punishment, where he publicly berates a child actor acting as his daughter.
No but in episode 3 one of the guys holds his cat up by the scruff, which is actually really bad for cats and can be painful so kinda just immediately ruins the fun
For a punishment, one of the jokers has to stay at a playplace/daycare type place, and “find the smell” of someone who soiled their diaper. Multiple people are seen warily watching him, and it has an underlying creepiness vibe as the joker has to find a way to smell various young children.
i'm not sure how much gore is "excessive", but when sal has to help a cow give birth as a punishment, there is blood, cow bodily fluids and placenta. there is also vomit during other moments
In the episode entitled "Flatfoot the Pirate", Sal vomits during the punishment. He is forced to drink breast milk and throws up on his shirt. I know there's also vomit in one of the later seasons, it's in a challenge where one guy is interviewing a person in a room and there's a glass wall behind the person. The glass goes from being non-transparent to transparent and the guys behind the glass have to make the guy interviewing laugh. Sal does a bit where he is a magician and he spits a flow of vomit into a hat. Look away when you see Sal dressed like a magician, there's no audio but the liquid is gross. There's also a time in the earlier seasons when Q laughs too hard and vomits. I know that they're outside when this happens, but i don't know the season. This happens in another episode as well, this time they're inside. They mention it in the intro of this episode, i think the guy says "Is laughter really the best medicine for Q?" Sal also does dry heave and gag a lot throughout the series, which can be very triggering.
use of term "ps*cho" they joke about twitches and tourette's and mock them. repetitively referring to people at "psychopaths" which is not only said in a derogatory context, but it's also not a medical term. makes fun of dyslexia makes fun of speech impediments
in the episode "fe-mail (s3e23)", the punishment includes joe dressing in drag for a "beauty pageant" before it is revealed he is actually meant to give an electronics seminar. while the "inside jokes" version of this episode states that the joke of the punishment was meant to be him dressed fancily to give an electronics seminar, it comes off as a man in a dress joke.
