Line 6:
Questions were asked in skit format in a manner similar to ''[[Remote Control]]''. A team had to answer two out of three to save their possession from (or put the other team's possession into) the hands of "Mark the Trasher", who would destroy it violently. During the final round, each team had to sacrifice one of its own members for potential "trashing"; losing the game meant public humiliation for the contestant in question.

=== [[Game Show]] Tropes in use: ===
* [[Bonus Round]]: One player had to identify artists in music videos being described by the other partner. Each player had to describe three videos; the time limit was 30 seconds, plus 5 for each possession saved, so potentially 60 seconds.
* [[Confetti Drop]]: [[Bonus Round]] winners were showered with confetti (and later [[Subverted Trope|trash]]) from a leaf blower.
Line 21:
* [[Speed Round]]: The Survival Round; 150 points per question for ''39'' seconds. No, that's not a typo.

{{tropelist}}
=== This show contains examples of: ===
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Loser." "Safety first." "You didn't lose a damn thing!"
* [[Covered in Gunge]]: Some of the losers got covered in Gatorade, "tobacco spit", beer (some of it [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|regurgitated]]), etc.
Line 29:
* [[Gross-Out Show]]: Some of the skits, and some of the "contestant trashings" at the end.
* [[Grunge]]: Everything about the show -- the theme music, the wardrobes, the set, you name it. This was [[The Nineties|1994]], after all.
* ~[[Hey, It's That Guy!~]]: Chris Hardwick, who would host ''[[Singled Out]]'' shortly thereafter.
* [[Jerkass]]: Mark the Trasher for certain, and Hardwick to an extent.
* [[Shout-Out]]: One trashing involved putting a contestant's clothing on ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' dolls before destroying it.
