Scarred (TV series)
US television program
Scarred is a television program that debuted on MTV on April 10, 2007. On each episode of Scarred, several real-life risk-takers share the stories of how they were scarred or injured while attempting dangerous stunts primarily on skateboards, but occasionally on in-line skates, skis, snowboards, and bikes.
"Scar Stories" segment
The show features a segment called "Scar Stories", which broadcasts videos caught on the scene of individuals dramatically injuring themselves, the wound often leaving a scar, hence the show's name. Every episode contains five stories. One example is a man trying to perform a grind but failing and tearing open his scrotum. He is one of only two people whose scar could not be shown on the show. The other was somebody who was left with a scar on his gluteal cleft.
Season 1 special
Season 1's ten episodes were followed by an hour-long special called "Scarred: Worst of the Worst." On it, a countdown of the ten worst injuries, as voted by viewers of the show, were shown in the usual countdown fashion, ending with "the most fucked up clip of the season." Between videos, Jacoby gave his own quick lists on topics such as the worst screams, the weirdest ways people have described their pain, or objects that have been needed to repair the damage done to various people, such as screws, plates, and stitches. A quick montage of clips followed showing examples of the topic.
Season 2
Starting with the second and final season, they began to count down the five videos of the episode, then recapping before the episode ends with a video clip called "The Most F*cked Up Clip of the Day," which is number one on the list and usually the most stomach-turning clip of that episode.
