Like Watching Over Seven Hours’ Worth Of Darwin Award Submissions

There are probably lots of reasons to grab this five-DVD set of “Whacked OUT Sports” programs as seen on TV. Maybe you’re a sadist. Maybe AFV just doesn’t do it for you anymore and you’re moving on to the hardcore stuff. Or maybe you just don’t own a DVR and you’re just curious what it’s like to watch the show while you’re not drunkenly scarfing down Mexican take-out in the pre-dawn moments just before you pass out on the sofa. (It didn’t exactly score a prime-time spot, airing sometime after the late-night poker shows in our area.)

But the best reason to pick up this set, in our humble House of Pancakes, is just to catch up with voiceover guy Tom Gottlieb, better known as “Cookie Masterson” from YOU DON’T KNOW JACK. We miss YOU DON’T KNOW JACK. Hearing Cookie’s voice again really takes us back.

And then seeing some guy break his collarbone, that jars us right back into the present.
