What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this compilation of real-life videos from around the world features extremely dangerous stunts that shouldn't be performed at home -- from going over cliffs in kayaks to swallowing live animals. While some of these feats are simply dumb exploits, others are serious accidents or traditional rituals from different cultures. The accompanying commentary relies on stereotypes to describe the stunts and the people performing them and promotes uninformed ideas about different countries and cultures. Expect some strong sexual innuendo -- including references to human and animal genitals -- and "fake" swearing ("asspole" and "bullsnit," for example).
Violence:
Features many dangerous stunts -- like pulling/lifting heavy objects with different parts of the body -- that can result in extreme pain and/or injury (though no injuries are actually shown). Accidents like car crashes and being trampled by a horse are shown. The host imitates sounds of being in extreme pain. Also shows punching, pushing, and fighting.
Sex:
Lots of sexual innuendo, including references to human and animal genitalia and sexual acts. Specific references to pole dancing and erections. One scene shows men pulling buses with ropes tied to their genitals (though no nudity is shown). Engvall sometimes refers to women as "broads."
Language:
Engvall uses stereotypical words like "redneck." He also plays on words to make them sound like curses, like "ashpole" and "bullsnit."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Drinking is occasionally visible.
