13	''Manswers'' was a show than ran on Creator/SpikeTV from 2007-2011. Its format consists of asking a series of questions that the (college-aged male demographic) viewers presumably want to know, though viewers are also encouraged to send in requests. Thus, the questions generally involving sex, alcohol, animal attacks, or some combination of the three, though slightly more "cerebral" questions occasionally creep in. A season subtitled "Harder Faster" focused more on [[SexSells sex]] and less on . . . everything else, and a season subtitled "Shock and Awe" focused more on war and military related topics. No matter the season, though, explosions and volume are in abundance. And {{fanservice}}. Did we mention fanservice? 'Cause there's a lot of fanservice.

15	----
16	!!This TV show contains examples of:
17	%%* AllMenArePerverts
18	* AwesomeButImpractical: Most of the answers on the show. There are even a few that are completely useless unless you were okay with doing something illegal. (Hell, there are a few that REQUIRED breaking the law and being sent to prison before they could be put to use at all.)
19	* BuxomBeautyStandard: Just count the number of questions that begin with the narrator saying "BOOBS ARE AWESOME!"
20	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The [[NoDeadBodyPoops "Dump of death"]] among a few others.
21	* DisguisedInDrag: One episode suggests that men dress up as women to get free beer on ladies' night, but shoots down the idea since the man's Adam's apple would be a dead giveaway.
22	* DontTryThisAtHome: Several of the more dangerous Manswers will have the announcer reminding everyone watching at the beginning that some Manswers are purely for entertainment value and shouldn't be attempted. Several of them are even illegal.
23	* DumpsterDive: According to one episode, the easiest way to get free beer is to search for unopened cases at the dump.
24	* FourthWallMailSlot: Some of the questions are sent in by viewers.
25	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: [[SarcasmMode Surprise surprise.]]
26	* MundaneMadeAwesome: Trivia on just about anything (though usually . . . [[AllMenArePerverts guess]]) answered by "experts" of varying levels of credibility, presented by an announcer [[NoIndoorVoice who thinks the viewer is at the opposite end of a football field]] with more fanservice than one would think possible.
27	* NoIndoorVoice: The announcer does not appear to have volume control.
28	* RuleOfSexy: The Manswers girls. See below.
29	* [[SexSells Sex Sells:]] Many of the questions have to do with getting laid or the female anatomy and those that don't are still showcased by scantily clad women making orgasmic sounds or bouncing around.
30	* ShownTheirWork: The show has a surprisingly about of creditability which in every episode they back up all their claims with facts and interviews with various experts in fields that their topics are covering.
31	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Taken to new levels when they decided to find out how revealing a bikini could be and still be legal to wear on the beach. The last couple were just a few tiny straps.
32	* StuffBlowingUp
33	* TestosteronePoisoning: The whole premise can basically be summed up as: tits, explosions, farts, tits, sex, violence, tits, manliness... all in the form of meaningless questions.
34	* ToiletHumor: Many Manswers, but special mention must go to the dreaded [[OhCrap "Dump of death"]]
35	* TricksterMentor: One particular manswer outlines a number of ways to fool a Breathalyzer by using various things to alter your breath. Notably this is one manswer that ''doesn't'' have the DontTryThisAtHome label, despite that it supposedly encourages drunk driving... because ''[[AllForNothing none of the methods work]]'', as the end segment reveals that despite its name, the Breathalyzer analyzes the air in your ''lungs'', not your mouth or even your throat.[[note]]A basic function of your lungs is to remove carbon dioxide from your blood, and alcohol is also removed this way, which is why the lungs are tested. In fact you'd have much bigger problems if you ''did'' somehow fool the Breathalyzer after having a few too many beers, because that could mean your lungs are failing.[[/note]]
36	* VengefulVendingMachine: One question explains why so many people are crushed by vending machines; it's because they're so top-heavy that even a small shake can cause them to tip over.
37	-->'''Narrator''': Yeah, dude, it's top-heavy! Just like a chick with giant jugs!
38	* WackyFratboyHijinx: Sometimes included in their enactments.
