Risky behaviours that sometimes result in injury

• A cast member wearing a Kevlar vest shoots himself in the chest. He appears unharmed. A special warning is played to warn viewers that this stunt is "extra stupid" and may kill you.
• Firecrackers are strapped to a cast member’s groin and lit.
• A cast member faces a bull twice. On his second attempt he is flipped and lands hard. He suffers concussion and is taken for medical treatment.
• Multiple stunts involve cast members being whacked in the genitals, hit, shocked or tasered.
• A cast member is bowled by a car.
• A cast member is sealed in a pillow-lined box and rolled down a flight of stairs. He says he suffered two herniated discs from this.
• A cast member inserts a toy car into his anus before visiting a medical facility, filming staff reactions for comedy when an x-ray reveals the object.
• Cast members drink laxatives before playing Twister. The camera zooms in on excrement dripping from their buttocks, causing several to vomit.

Nudity

• Male frontal, genital and buttock nudity is depicted during some stunts. It is not sexual. Examples of stunt nudity include:
• A naked cast member is probed anally by a robot, shown up close as their buttock is smeared with peanut butter as a lubricant.
• A naked cast member warms up with pelvic thrusts, swinging his genitals before doing a high jump.
• A naked cast member expels a ping-pong ball from his anus.

Sexual Content

• A cast member disguised as an elderly man flirts with women at a male strip club. He strips to his underwear and reveals an exaggeratedly saggy scrotum hanging from his briefs. He attempts to pole dance, to the audience’s disgust or amusement.
• A male exotic dancer performs nude with his buttocks exposed.
• There are minor verbal references to having sex.

Cruelty

• Some stunts involve cast members being restrained, struck in the groin, hit by projectiles, shocked or otherwise hurt while attempting tasks, shown with minor injuries, pain, and reactions played for laughs.
• Some material features little persons or obese people as a source of comedy.

Offensive language

Strongest examples of language include "f**k", "motherf**ker", "b*tch" and "sh*t" which are used as exclamations, and for emphasis during stressful situations and to express pain. Body descriptions such as ‘’*sshole", "dick" and "butt" used while performing stunts.
