Whacked Out Sports is an American

voiceover to highlight aspects of the clips. Whacked Out Sports, created and produced by Mark O'Brien, founder of Mighty Oak Entertainment and distributed by Stream Go Media, features 170 episodes and has been in syndication on Fox broadcasting since 2006.[1][2]

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 show

cartoonish stock sound effects
such 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 in

late night hours
.

The clips for Whacked Out Sports are 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continued, newer episodes would recycle clips from older episodes, as most of the clips shown appear to be from now-outdated VHS camcorders that were common when the series began, but obsolete only a few years later with the advent of smartphones.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.

International distribution

The series began airing in the United Kingdom on the

RTL 7. It is also broadcasting on Mediacorp Channel 5 and JHM Network. In South Korea, under the name Dolbal Ajjilhan Sports(돌발! 아찔한 스포츠 ; Flash! Giddy Sports) from 2009 ~ 2011 on OBS. and in the Philippines, the series began airing on AKTV on IBC-13
Every Monday at 7:00 pm from April 2, 2012.

Spin-off

In January 2008, Mighty Oak Entertainment's subsidiary Whack One Entertainment began airing a spin-off called Whacked Out Videos hosted by Tom Gottlieb.[3][4][5] A revival series entitled "Whacked Out" produced by Stream Go Media and starring Jessie Godderz was announced in 2022.
