Labeled as "The Show That Is Almost Too Painful to Watch", Scarred was a TV show that began airing on MTV on April 10th, 2007, up to the end of the same year. It was hosted by Papa Roach's front man Jacoby Shaddix.

Premise

The show consisted of clips taken from the internet of people getting seriously hurt while practicing stunts from various extreme sports such as BMX, Skating, Rollerblading, Skiing, etc. The person featured in each clip would talk about the backstory of the accident and the scar that they got from it. Each episode featured 5 clips and were ranked from the least shocking accident up to "The Most %$&^@ Up Clip of The Day", featuring the grossest injury, or the nastiest scar. Each episode would come with a warning not to send any videos to MTV and to not try any of the stunts featured.

Later episodes would feature callbacks to people that were featured earlier on, with sections including "Mother Knows Best" which had the mothers of the individuals featured giving their opinion about the accident and "Where Are They Now?" where individuals previously featured on the show would come back to tell the story of a different scar they'd got since.

Disclaimer

Scarred provides a warning to audiences that they should not attempt the stunts or send in home videos.

Do not attempt any of these bone crunching, skin splitting stunts under any circumstances. They can cause serious injury or leave you permanently SCARRED. MTV insists that our viewers do not send in any home footage of themselves or others attempting stunts. We will not open or view submissions, so don't waste your time.

Availability

Season 1

Season 1 consisted of 10 episodes and 1 TV special, all of which were once available online on the official MTV site but have since been taken down. Thankfully, Vimeo user MTV Scarred uploaded 9 of the 11 episodes, all excluding Episode 1 and the special episode Scarred: Worst of the Worst : which counted down the 10 worst injuries of the season as voted by the viewers. This special would also contain mini lists consisting of "Worst Screams" or "Weirdest Descriptions of Pain". On 9th June 2023, Divirse announced that all episodes had been obtained courtesy of fellow Reddit user TitanIsBack, and were accessible on the Internet Archive a month prior.

Season 2

Season 2 aired on July 17th, 2007, and it also featured 10 episodes with a TV Special in between. The format remained the same as the first, counting down 5 injuries from the least shocking to the most '&#@^*3 up', but the graphics of the show got an update, now actually featuring the name of the person involved and the number before each clip. Plus, new segments were added to some episodes, such as "Mother Knows Best" and "Where Are They Now?". Both sections revisited some of the people that were featured in the first season. This season also featured a crossover special called Scarred: Hot Rod Edition, which was a promotion of the 2007 movie Hot Rod, starring Andy Samberg. Samberg himself replaced Jacoby Shaddix as host for this episode.

Episodes 12 and 13 are available on Vimeo by user MTV Scarred but are incorrectly labelled. Episodes 11, 14, 19, and 20 are also available in YouTube thanks to various users, though some episodes are divided, and many segments from the interviews and Jacoby are missing and the quality of the clips vary. Episodes 15, 16, 17, and 18 are mostly lost with some of the clips floating around on YouTube. As with Season 1, Divirse announced that all episodes from Season 2 could now be accessed on the Internet Archive, rendering the entire show found.
