The Misery Index season 2 episode 11, titled "Chicken, Spaghetti, and Sex," features contestants competing to rate the real-life misfortunes of others on a scale from 1-100 based on a misery index. This episode brings a fresh outlook as one of the A-listers of Tinseltown, Jackie Tohn, stars as a guest celebrity.
The game begins with a clip of a man who accidentally inhaled his crown while getting a root canal procedure. It is funny, but it gets sympathy from the contestants. Another example is a video of a girl who went down the escalator as soon as the escalator stopped working, causing her to fall. It was quite brutal and most of the contestants cannot watch it.
Later, the contestants are presented with a woman who was thrown off a mechanical bull and broke her arm. She rates her misery around 80, whereas the contestants have to guess the misery level, and whoever predicts the exact level gets a point.
The next round features a man who got stuck in a chicken coop while wearing thigh-high boots. It proves to be a difficult scenario for the players. They try to guess according to the comedy value of Boots in the chicken coop video, but some surprisingly empathize with poor Boots.
The next event features a video called "The Spaghetti Incident" where a woman fell off her chair while eating spaghetti and it landed all over her. The clip made the panel laugh, but they still rated it high on the misery index. The main focus of the clip is on spaghetti and how awkward it was for her, but her explanation reveals things are not what it seems.
In the last round, the contestants are presented with the "Sex And The City Fart Ghost" tragedy. Somehow, Samantha Jones' apparent love of curry got blamed for the loud fart sound. The video comes with a clip of her farting in public while shopping. It is a classic TV moment that the contestants seem to relish.
Overall, The Misery Index season 2 episode 11 promises a lot of laughter, surprises, and cringe-worthy moments. The contestants' reactions to the challenges are sure to draw some giggles from the audience, making this an episode not to miss. Whether someone likes it for the grim humor or just to see the contestants squirm at the different clips, the show has something in it for everyone.
