    Premise: Contestants endure humiliating 'distractions' while trying to answer trivia questions

Why Distraction might be annoying:

    Some distractions include:
    -Contestants pulling off cards glued to a nudist's body with their mouths.
    -Being thrown around by wrestlers.
    -Urinating to activate a buzzer.
    -Getting crapped on by pigeons.
    The questions are really easy.
    The bonus round is a ripoff of the MTV game show, 'Trashed.'
    Jimmy Carr can be rude to the contestants.
    Most of the contestants are obnoxious.

Why Distraction might not be annoying:

    They give away pretty good prizes (although they are usually demolished).
    It has somewhat of a cult following.
    The show can be funny.
    A disclaimer is shown before each episode warning viewers not to preform any stunts seen on the show.
