Subject matter

The show consists entirely of short video clips featuring sports-related stunts and odd sporting events. The clips are accompanied by irreverent and wacky narration which is intended to present sometimes shocking images in a humorous manner.

High points from the clips are generally replayed several times for maximum effect, a technique also used on the similar showMXC.The narrator, Tom Gottlieb (known for, and playing a similar role to, "Cookie Masterson"from the video game seriesYou Don't Know Jack), uses a juvenilecommentaryto help create the lighthearted nature of the show; for example, stating "he's using his noggin to steer the toboggan" when referring to alugeaccident. Another trademark feature of the show are the often cartoonishstock sound effectssuch as screams, punches, crashes, and groaning men sounds after scenes of crashes, falls, fights or other incidents are shown.

Because of the show's mature content, it contains a special content disclaimer at the beginning of each episode and is usually aired inlate night hours.

The clips forWhacked Out Sportsare collected from videos taken by various sources around the world.

As the series continued, newer episodes would recycle clips from older episodes, as most of the clips shown appear to be from now-outdated VHScamcordersthat were common when the series began, but obsolete only a few years later with the advent of smartphones. Newer episodes of the series also include skits featuring bikini models doing various wacky and sexually suggestive activities.
