All language subtitles for 101.Body.Shocks.2020

[Narrator] We just love to
be shocked by the human body

and the unusual
things it can do.

[Woman] Human nun chuk!

[Narrator] Whether it's being
super bendy, bulgy,

pusy and pimply

-[squirting]
-[man screams]

or downright disgusting.
-[Man] Hey!

[Narrator] Tonight we're going
on a tour of the human body

guaranteed to amaze,
revolt and astound.

This is not for the squeamish.

So put the TV dinner on hold,

watch from around
the back of the sofa,

and brace yourself
for body shocks.

[Man] I'm done, I'm done.

[upbeat music]

[static]

[gentle piano music]

[Narrator] To kick us off
on our shocking body tour,

ask anyone their least
favourite body part,

and they'll probably
say their feet.

At number one, foot care.

Whether medically through
chiropody or cosmetically,

through the pedicurist, is a
multi-billion pound affair.

Ideally we visit
those professionals.

In practice, some of us

mistakenly decide to
have a go ourselves.

eeling skin might be satisfyingP

but it's usually a sign
of fungal infection,

and peeling it won't help.

[Baby] Can I [indistinct].

[lady chuckles]

[Narrator] And if you do
insist on picking your feet,

doing it in public isn't
going to make you any friends.

[upbeat bright music]

This man's feet have
been neglected for years.

Not only have the
toenails curled over,

but they've also built
up on top of each other.

This calls for a pro
to come to the rescue.

The podiatrist has
painstakingly and carefully

cut and chiselled through
the thick layers of skin

for more than 25 minutes
to get these manky feet

to look somewhere near
a healthy pedicure.

[upbeat bright music]

Here's another guy with
an infected toenail.

But he's not had the nouse
to call in the professionals.

He's allowed pals at his
thanksgiving celebrations

to perform a mid-party
pus relieving pedicure,

with a power drill.

This is both risky and stupid.

[power drill buzzing]

nd should never ever be copied.A

[power drill buzzing]

[people chattering]

- [Man 2] Good job.

[Narrator] Good job?

- [Man 2] Good job.

- [Narrator] Good job he
didn't lose the entire toe

[lady chuckling]
- It's good.

- [Narrator] Another
foolish foot fiddler

is trying some home care

instead of going to a
qualified professional.

This one doesn't use a
drill, but a razor blade

to shave his infected skin
like a Parmesan cheese.

And with the same
trademark smell too.

Why on earth would
you pick that up?

Definitely do not
try this at home!

nd this guy in Russia has takenA

an even more
industrial approach.

Regular toenail
clipping is essential

to keep the nails healthy
and free from infection,

but he's decided to
risk life and limb

by using an angle grinder.

You wouldn't want him
to be your pedicurist,

though would you?

Now, we all know what
makes a romantic night in.

Bottle of wine,
check, candles, check,

toe nail picking, uncheck!

- [Woman 1] Chunkies.

- [Narrator] But
for this couple,

spending the evening picking
at feet seems totally normal.

Cleaning out and
shortening the toe nail

can help fight any
infection lurking.

But when he said, "Do you
fancy a night of fun, girl?".

Little did she know, it
would turn out to be fungal!

While some people get
off on the wrong foot,

thers have feet made for feats.o

This is 20-year-old
Muhammad Barakah.

With party pieces like this,

he must cut up over
his foot care bills.

It goes without saying,
do not try this at home!

Or indeed anywhere else.

Leaving those fugally,
gnarly feet behind now,

and moving up the body
to another extremity.

This girl has a party trick
that will shock and entertain.

- Hi I'm Taren and I'm
going to show you all

some cool tricks I
can do with my hands.

- [Narrator] Humans wouldn't
be humans without their hands.

Our opposable thumbs
mean we can grip things.

But this girl's skills
are almost superhuman.

[upbeat bright music]

She can do this because
she has hypermobile joints.

I'm sure that could
come in handy.

ot quite sure what for though.N

[upbeat bright music]

- And this one does
not hurt at all.

Actually now it will do.

- [Narrator] This man
from The Netherlands

is showing off his dexterity.

His turn is this showstopper.

[upbeat bright music]

This is no mean feat, but
it is a pretty mean hand.

We use our hands so much

that we can all suffer from
the occasional blister.

But being able to
inflate loose skin

into a balloon is bonkers.

Apparently it was a bad
reaction to penicillin

that gave this man his
listering hand-blowing talent.b

We have fingernails
because we're primates.

They are essentially
flattened forms of claw.

Useful for stroking
leaves seemingly.

[upbeat bright music]

These are the longest
nails in Russia

owned by Elena Shilenkova
who vlogs on the subject.

[upbeat bright music]

- Today I'm showing
you few moments.

[upbeat bright music]

- [Narrator] Ooh, 'ello.

[upbeat bright music]

Is that it?

[upbeat bright music]

- So no, its very easy for me.

Thank you very much,
bye-bye, see you next time

[upbeat bright music]

- [Narrator] Can't wait.

Now, whatever Russia can do,
America wants to do better.

These ladies are from Dallas,

where the state motto is
big things happen here.

And looking at those
humongous nails,

they might have a point or 20.

[upbeat bright music]

Not for the weak
or faint hearted,

e're counting up to body shocksw

and marvelling at
the things it can do

that are sometimes disgusting,

but more often than
not, astonishing.

So far we've seen that feet
aren't all that appealing

and when it comes to hands,
we need to get a grip.

[upbeat bright music]

The most indispensable
part of the body

ies squarely on our shoulders.l

So, we resume our body
shock count at number 14

with a real head turner.

4-year-old Sameer Khan realised1

he could do this
180 degree swivel

after watching the
film, "The Exorcist."

Nicknamed Owl Boy, he's hoping
his unbelievable flexibility

will land him a part
in a Hollywood movie.

Well, we've had Tina
Turner, Kathleen Turner,

why not Head Turner?

Anyway, we absolutely do not
recommend trying this at home.

[man chattering]

This poor lady has
gone to the doctor

after complaining
her face was hurting.

After applying a solution,

the cause of her face
ache became clear.

Dozens of tiny parasites
had been living

and breeding under
her skin, ouch.

[man chattering]

When it comes to
cosmetic surgery,

read the small print,
things can go wrong!

In this woman's case
the dermal filler

isn't behaving as it should,

and her head has
gone all squishy.

She's taking it fairly well,

considering she looks like
a piece of plasticene.

There's only one thing for it,

get that's stuff out of her.

The surgeon had to make a hole

and squeeze it out
like toothpaste.

[upbeat bright music]

Poor woman, I think
she's had her fill.

[upbeat bright music]

oving up the head now to hair.M

And here's a long haired
lover from Liverpool.

Turns out he's a swinger.

And he's from China.

The hair hang is
an old circus act

and best left to
the professionals

and performing it can be very
painful and hair-raising.

[upbeat bright music]

For most of us, a
visit to the salon

doesn't involve too
many body shocks.

Unless of course you're
going for an 80's perm.

This Chinese barber is
practising the rare art

f cutting hair with hot tongs.o

Which raises the question,

who would actually want
that back-combed style?

[upbeat bright music]

Could be worse though.

In India, this
barber has an unusual

and potentially fatal method

of achieving that
perfectly coiffed look,

by setting his
customer's hair alight.

[upbeat bright music]

The guy doesn't seem too
bothered about his life

being endangered
by this unorthodox

and frankly insane approach.

But think about this,
my friend, Sweeney Todd

was also a barber.

[upbeat bright music]

Perhaps if this guy had
to been to that barber

he wouldn't be
suffering with this.

They're head hair lice.

The highly contagious
adult form of nits.

You can normally get rid

of the blood sucking
parasites fairly easily,

although seems like
this passenger's head

has become some kind nature
eserve for the little critters.r

You should get that sorted
not that I'm nit picking.

[upbeat bright music]

A lot us are squeamish
when it comes to our eyes.

And for good reason, the eye
s an extremely delicate organ,i

which has to be in
perfect working order

to function properly.

So, there's huge potential for
the eyes to provide shocks.

Whether it's a self-inflicted
horror, like this guy,

[eyes popping]
[upbeat bright music]

who has developed the eletfy
skill to pop out his eye.

[woman screams]

[upbeat bright music]

Or this guy has mastered
the art of the dancing eyes.

[upbeat bright music]

Didn't see that coming!

[upbeat bright music]

You've heard of blood,
sweat and tears?

For the last two
years this young woman

as produced all three at once.h

It's an incredibly rare
condition called Haemolacria,

which means she cries blood.

And doctors are still
trying to find a cure.

[gentle music]

Another clinical case,

where one woman's
vision problems

turned out to be more
than meets the eye.

To be precise, worms
were eating her eyes.

After bathing in
infested streams,

these parasites decided to
find a room with a view.

But luckily the victim got
help before losing her sight.

[gentle music]

The eye is such a delicate
structure that you most of us

couldn't bear the thought
of anything near it,

let alone in it.

Not for the faint-hearted.

In some parts of china
still undertaking

the ancient art of road
side barber shaves.

This risky procedure that
could potentially blind,

involves ellegitly refreshing

and improving comfort
in the eye by unblocking

the sebaceous glands
in the under eye.

It's usually offered
as an extra service

on top of a haircut.

omething for the weekend, sir?S

This next procedure
also looks risky.

tiny jewel is being implantedA
in the surface of an eye.

Ophthalmologists have warned
of the risks of complications

for the patient including
mild to severe loss of sight,

but this hasn't deterred her.

This radical bling is
possible in the Netherlands,

but only if it's done in
clinical, sterile conditions.

After all, no point looking
blinding if it blinds you.

[upbeat bright music]

For some reckless individuals,

the structures around
eye can be adapted

for tasks unrelated to vision.

This Kung fu expert
who wants to prove

the strength of his eye lids.

Incredibly he is
placing hooks over them

Before doing some eye-ups.

[upbeat bright music]

Don't try that at home.

Actually, don't try it at
all if you value your sight.

[upbeat bright music]

Heading just around the
corner, from eyes to ears now,

experts say earwax usually
falls out on its own.

But in this woman's case
years' worth of dirt

has taken its toll.

[upbeat bright music]

She went to the
doctor complaining

that she could not hear

and said she was afraid
to get water in her ears,

[upbeat bright music]

After just four
minutes in the chair,

and the doctor was able
to completely remove

the build up of gunk.

[upbeat bright music]

This guy wasn't so lucky.

[gentle music]

Years of wax have built up
and he's in excruciating pain.

So he's been put under
general anaesthetic

in order to make the
removal more bearable.

[electric static]

It's tempting, even though
e're not to shove a cotton budw

nto our ears to remove the wax.i

[upbeat bright music]

Well, by doing this you can
actually push the wax deeper

into your ear canal
and seriously

damage
sensitive ear skin

or your eardrum.

And this could happen.

[upbeat bright music]

The cotton could come off the
tip and get lodged in there.

[upbeat bright music]

This endoscope footage
from a Vietnamese clinic

shows an ear canal

that's proving to be
a nice breeding ground

or a rare kind of fungal spore.f

Not mushroom to grow,
but without treatment

he would have ended up deaf.

[upbeat bright music]

Another patient came in
complaining of

deafness and itching.

the docs captured
this amazing footage

before presumably capturing
the offending cockroach.

[upbeat bright music]

his next patient isn't itchingT

but has a kind of tickling
and scratchy pain.

ou'd think minor ear infectionY

but that would be
far too boring.

In fact, something had
been boring its way in.

This ear chamber had
doubled up as a bachelor pad

for this butterfly.

What is it with the
Vietnamese creepy crawlies?

aven't they got nests to go to?H

[gentle music]

nd they're not just in Vietnam,A

this unfortunate
patient in India

was complaining
of unbearable pain

and discomfort in her ear,

so decided to visit
her local hospital

to get it checked out.

Before long, it became
clear what was bugging her.

[gentle music]

Lured out by the bright light,

it's very lucky the poor
woman wasn't ear-achnaphobic.

[playful music]

nd this next patient's problemA
isn't lodged deep inside.

This poor woman has an
ear cyst on the outer ear.

These form as a result of
a blocked sebaceous glands

and contain sebum or grease
and, if infected, pus.

[pus sputters]

And it looks like the
pressure is building.

You wouldn't want to
be in the firing line.

Ear beauty now and with
ear piercing on the rise,

it's perhaps no surprise

that there are
sometimes body shocks,

especially when going
about having a piercing

in a reckless and quite
frankly foolish way.

- This is a size 70,
now let me remind you.

I have had these-

[Narrator] Shouldn't
you be in a salon?

- Over a month.

This is how tiny my holes are,

this is the size I'm putting in.

[Narrator] If you say so.-

- And
[beep]

[upbeat bright music]

The sooner I hurt, the mother.

[upbeat bright music]

- [Narrator] 80% of American
women get ear piercings

but not many do it themselves.

[door taps]
- Yeah.

- [Narrator] Not now,
talk about bad timing.

[upbeat bright music]

- Someone needs a
piercing [indistinct].

- [Narrator] The ear lobe is
a sensitive piece of tissue.

It has got elasticity,

but any stretching needs
to be done very gradually

and always under the
guidance of professionals.

- We are getting somewhere.

[camera shutters]

[upbeat bright music]

Boom.

Oh!
[beep]

Oh.

- [Narrator] Oh, that's
torn it, quite literally.

- Well, I guess I may
have to *beep get mine-

- [Narrator] With risk
of infection and worse,

this moronic act should
be a lesson to us all.

What the [beep] did I just do?-

- [Narrator] And
it's not just ears

that provide body shocks,

We're heading around
the corner now.

[upbeat bright music]

When it comes to dealing
with manky mouths

and terrible tonsils,

oral surgeons certainly
earn their crust.

Speaking of crusts,

when the docs dug into
this guy's soft tissues,

they found this hard
pebble like growth.

No, it's not a tooth but
a blocked salivary gland

that produced its own
calcium growth, yuck!

[man chattering]

[playful music]

ere, doctors find that a womanH

complaining of a throat
lockage has an uninvited guest.b

[upbeat bright music]

That is a blood sucking leech

that had been growing
inside for three months.

If left, it could have
eventually choked her.

Thankfully the woman's
condition later improved,

but we're not sure
about the leech.

[upbeat bright music]

So, we've seen the
importance of oral hygiene.

Now, onto some people
without toothbrushes

who are seemingly improvising.

Letting your pet rat
lick your teeth clean

has to be an oxymoron.

[upbeat bright music]

Talking of morons,

this woman has upgraded to
a squirrel brush, very posh.

[upbeat bright music]

From teeth we're going up
in the world now to noses.

nd this mystery man is, Mr Lee.A

AKA the king of the snakes.

He has been practising
the somewhat pointless

and downright stupid routine
since he was 13 years old.

Has anyone told him,

the nose is NOT supposed to
be for shoving snakes into?

[upbeat bright music]

This plane passenger is more
of a king of the finger.

He seems oblivious
to his fellow travel

as he continues his
digital mission.

[gentle music]

Perhaps he's a golfer.

He certainly seems to have
bagged a couple of bogeys.

And if you're actually worried

that you might be seen
picking your nose,

just do as this guy does

and grab your girlfriend's
finger instead.

[upbeat bright music]

I don't think she even
nose what he's up to.

[upbeat bright music]

ule number one of face timing,R

is you don't want anything
to interrupt your flow.

Ewww, that wasn't the kind
of flow he was hoping for.

[upbeat bright music]

Full marks for the
recovery though.

When it comes to nasal
mucus kids produce the stuff

in epic quantities.

But if it becomes too
viscose like this toddler's,

it needs a bit of help
to shift things along.

[playful music]

Snot going to be a problem
for today at least.

Nasal hair extraction now.

[playful music]

- Here it goes.

- [Narrator] Forget
the tweezers though.

This fella's got other ideas.

[playful music]

Mainly stupid and
dangerous ones.

He's going with a heavy
brick attached via strings

to waxed nose bungs.

What could possibly go wrong?

This isn't gonna end well.

This is gonna be
incredibly painful.

- Three, two, one.

[playful music]

- [Narrator] Some people

will film themselves
doing anything.

Several reasons to
not try this at home,

one being, you never know
where that brick might land!

[birds chirping]

[upbeat bright music]

A professional extraction now.

And this guy's had
something nasty in his nose

for two months.

[upbeat bright music]

t's clear he's in immense painI

as whatever is lodged up
there doesn't want to budge.

[upbeat bright music]

That is a parasitic animal,

the doctor was heard to say as
the patient left the surgery.

Bit unfair don't you think?

[upbeat bright music]

When it comes to our mushes,

you might as well
face it some of us

re addicted to popping pimples.a

If people aren't
popping their own,

they're sat watching
some poor soul

get theirs popped online.

nline fans known as popolohics,O

get their kicks from squirting
sebum or even liquid pus,

with the most popular getting
around million views a pop!

[upbeat bright music]

But there are dangers
to pimple popping.

If you push some of the
contents inside the pimple

deeper into the skin, you
increase inflammation.

This can lead to
more-noticeable acne.

You also run the risk
of getting an infection

rom the bacteria on your hands.f

Not a good look.

[upbeat bright music]

Here, a facial cyst from
a blocked hair follicle

has had to be cut by a medic.

And out comes the
fruit of the cyst,

a protein called keratin.

Mmm, squeezing is pleasing,
don't eat it though.

[upbeat bright music]

We're counting up
some of the outlandish

and often gruesome "Body
Shocks 101" of them in all,

and so far we've
seen our orifices

such as our nose and ears

have some unwelcome
surprises, coming out of them.

[upbeat bright music]

We're now looking at what
we put in to the body,

which can be just as shocking.

Like in the Far East,

where bugs are occasionally
eaten as a delicacy,

hey are normally cooked though.t

[upbeat bright music]

Looks like this guy's game of
pool has given him an appetite

and he's gobbling his body
weight with fresh ones.

[upbeat bright music]

What's wrong with buying
a packet of crisps

like most people?

[upbeat bright music]

The British equivalent
of a pub snack is chips.

Most people have
ketchup on their fries.

[upbeat bright music]

This hungry bloke
seems to prefer ants.

And more worryingly, it
oesn't seem to be bugging him.d

[upbeat bright music]

A balanced diet
requires protein, carbs
and of course, fats.

This woman is getting
her whole month's supply,

right here, right now.

[upbeat bright music]

Swallowing something this big,

she could get the butter stuck
in her throat or windpipe,

blocking the flow of air.

[group jeering]

A big risk to take,
for a stupid stunt.

[upbeat bright music]

Butter is a relatively
sensible diet

compared to our next
strange, Snacker,

who appears to be lining
up a nice tasty light bulb.

[upbeat bright music]

I'm not sure this is the
brightest thing to do

[upbeat bright music]

Our digestive tract
cannot process a diet
of glass or metal,

o most of us tempted by a lights
snack like this doing this,

will probably end up in A&E.

So, definitely do
not try this at home.

hink that's as bad as it gets?T

Step forward Liaqat Khan
who loves nothing more

than a good chewing on stones.

He started years ago and
now eats them all the time.

He knows it's not
doing him any good,

but admits he is totally
addicted to the hard stuff.

Another earthy eater is Kusma
Vati, a 70-year-old from India

who swears by her unique diet.

She's been stuffing her face
with kilos of sand and gravel

every day for six decades.

n spite of the risks of gastricI
pain and internal bleeding,

she says she's never
had to see a doctor,

and credits her long
life to her gritty diet.

Recon, she's got
room for dessert?

ver to the US where BasketballO
Champs, the Cleveland Cavs

are celebrating another
successful season.

Time to celebrate with
a nice hearty meal.

Oh no.

Doctors warn that
this fan's crappy diet

could actually lead to
potentially lethal infection,

so avoid the poo and have a
hot dog like everyone else.

[upbeat bright music]

Still in the US, with
this cute family scene.

Maybe not that cute,

getting the baby to clean
the father's stomach,

and filming it.

[playful music]

- [Woman 2] Urgh!

- [Narrator] Urgh, that is
not definitely not cute.

- [Man 3] Oh my God.

[playful music]

- [Narrator] Nothing that gross

can happen in England, surely.

- I'm gonna eat my
wife's placenta.

I don't think anyone's done
this in a long long time

and certainly not
husbands have done it.

I've got wee more bit there,

which I have already garnished
with some salt and pepper.

I've tried it already
and its not too bad.

Here it goes.

Here is the raw bit,

and this is as good as the
umbilical cord spaghetti

by the way.

- [Narrator] This
stomach-churning

scene shows new dad,

Ross Watson tucking into
his wife Heather's placenta.

Each to their own.

[upbeat bright music]

But after birth, after-effects
are probably nothing compared

to some of the stuff that
ends up in people's stomachs.

- Cheers.

[gentle music]

- [Narrator] This patient
has been complaining

of abdominal discomfort.

[gentle music]

So when surgeons
operated on him,

they were surprised by
the source of the problem.

[gentle music]

Eventually they
dug out 22 needles,

which they guessed had
been there for years

causing, as presumed,
quite a sharp kind of pain.

It's not known if
he ate them or not

but he should have stuck
to the local delicacies

of chicken heads and feet,
not to everyone's taste.

So this guy has turned
his back on tradition

nd opted for something hotter,a

the black object in the
scan is a cigarette lighter.

The lighter was
no laughing matter

and even though it had been
lodged there for years,

it still had to be
surgically removed.

It's easy to see how you
might accidentally swallow

the occasional coin
in the Christmas pud.

But Indians doctors
were totally gobsmacked

when they found this
lot inside a patient.

[upbeat bright music]

Not only were there
coins, the 70 minutes op,

produced necklaces,
bangles, anklets, earrings,

nose rings and even a watch.

It was an astonishing haul
weighing over 3 1/2 pounds.

It remains a mystery as to why
she'd munched all that metal.

Who knows, maybe she needed
more iron in her diet?

Usually what we eat
doesn't resemble

what comes out the other end.

But normally we do need to
make quality toilet time.

[water splashing]

One obsessed Chinese
computer gamer

has decided that to
skip the loo break

so he can carry on
playing the game.

[gentle music]

But with the help
of that bucket,

he can carry on while doing a
bit of downloading of his own.

This group are intently
studying the work

of a tattoo artist,
so far, so good.

[man farts]

So fart, so bad!

I wouldn't get that close,

there may be more
where that came from.

[man farts]

[gentle music]

[man farts]

et the air freshener, somebody!G

When it comes to
letting it all hang out,

these things are
best done in private.

This guy forgot about
the security cameras.

[gentle music]

When he throws caution to
the wind for a good itch,

and a crafty sniff.

[gentle music]

The store car park
is even more public.

[indistinct]

We're still below the belt

but around the
other side of things

and this is a truly
shocking scene

that will get every
man's eyes watering.

Chinese battered balls!

Those Kung Fu guys really
are gluttons for punishment.

If you want to do a
job properly,

better to do it yourself.

Students of Kung fu pride
in toughening themselves

with a trial of the testicles.

And if those look like testing
times, bring on the big guns.

[metal clings]

f any guys at home are thinkingI
of trying this yourself,

I'd just sack it off.

Well, it will never
make the Olympics,

ut you have to hand it to them,b

those guys certainly are nuts.

[gentle music]

Also, risking keeping
his manhood intact,

is this Chinese guy who
has perfected the art

of lifting cases of beer
by the power of his penis.

[gentle music]

Okay, genitally does it.

[gentle music]

Apparently, the perpetrator
of this penis party trick

has been practising it
every day for years.

I hope he doesn't
work as a barman.

Possibly the oddest way
of getting brewer's droop.

[gentle music]

If you thought
lifting three boxes

of lager with your manhood was
the definition of machismo,

this guy has taken
things to the extreme.

OK, he's a monk so that penis
is probably showroom new.

But it does beg
the question, why?

That coach is a
staggering tonnes!

The martial arts enthusiast

is said to have been honing
his skills for decades

in order to perfect
this ultimate,

if recklessly dangerous,
display of his manliness.

I'm sure afterwards, he was
praised for pulling it off.

The stunt, not the penis.

Another eye-watering moment
ow and we're at a stunt schooln

in Pakistan's
Balochistan Province.

People have always tried to
walk on nails despite the risk

and there seem to be
enough people crazy enough

to enroll for the training

on these pointlessly
dangerous stunts.

Like any physical activity,

you have to start
with a good stretch.

Risking life and limb for
a role in a Bollywood film,

this is peacocking
at the extreme.

It's unclear when
this kind of feet

would be needed on a film
set, not in the age of CGI!

Unusual body skills are
found all over the world.

ost of us can hang by our arms,M

but can we perilously swivel
them around 180 degrees

in their sockets
like this woman can?

Probably not and nor
would we want to, ouch!

[gentle music]

These young students at the
world-famous Shaolin Monastery

have discovered the perfect
way to pass the time

between prayer sessions,

by hypnotically
contorting their bodies.

And practise has paid off.

See, dedication and
meditation is all you need.

[gentle music]

This man has a dislocated arm

Which has become
a deadly weapon.

- [Woman 3] Let see your
tattoo, tattoo is the best part.

Human nun chuck.

[air wheezing]

- [Narrator] Some
people's entire bodies

have the astonishing
ability to bend and stretch

like it's made out of rubber.

[gentle music]

This young guy has
managed to perfect the art

of bodily contortions
over a range of manoeuvres

here fine almost bends double.w

[gentle music]

There are two different types
of spinal contortionists,

ront benders and back benders.f

But this guy's back bending
looks more backbreaking.

[gentle music]

Some people's body
skills are so out there

that they are off the
scale to us mere mortals.

This guy has such control
over his should blades

that he can use them
to do all sorts.

[gentle music]

Crumbs, that's one way of
sorting out your biscuit base

for a cheese cake,

what did happen to
those cheesy toenail,

scrapings from earlier?

This Nepalese bus drive's
extraordinary face

can do some weird
and wonderful things.

Not only can he curl the
bottom half of his face

over his nose, impressive,
but super long tongue

can touch his chin.

Even more impressive!

And when he's bored of that,
he can touch his forehead.

He claims that when he
does his party tricks,

people either pass out
or wet their pants.

[gentle music]

Is it normal to be this
attractive to bees?

Mr. Liru works as a beekeeper

but just can't get enough of
them in his spare time too.

They're like, "Well,
bees around a honey pot."

Wherever he goes the 50,000
little friends go too.

They never sting him, he says,

but good to see he's wearing
protective head gear anyway.

Safety first.

[gentle music]

Someone else with
strange attraction skills

is Zulfikar Ibrahim.

He amazed his family when he
realised that metal objects

stuck to the
surface of his skin.

It started with
spoons and knives

but his mysterious magnetism

means he has now moved
on heavier items.

On the plus side, you'd
never lose your keys

with him around.

[gentle music]

Another who defies
the law of physics

is 42-year-old, Naresh Kumar,
who is able to withstand

large surges of
electricity to his body.

It started by accident
after touching a live cable.

Anybody else would have
been killed doing this,

so Naresh must be
one in a billion.

Before long, he found that
a quick lick of a live wire

could reduce his appetite.

Not something that
should ever be done.

A stunt that may have
reduced his food costs,

but played havoc with
the electricity bill.

This is "101 Body Shocks,"

a show not for those of
a nervous disposition.

A revolting round up of
some of truly astounding

and downright degrading
things we can do with

and to ourselves.
[man farts]

When it comes to medical
care, common sense dictates

t is best left to the experts,i

but sense is sometimes
in short supply

when some people decide to
do their own DIY doctoring.

[gentle music]

After a hernia operation,
this patient decided

to remove his own
internal packing bandages.

They are there for a
reason, just leave them.

I don't think matron is
going to be too happy.

[gentle music]

When you have a deep arm cyst,
what is the best thing to do?

Go to a doctor, obviously.

s that what this guy is doing?I

Obviously not.

He's doing his
own DIY doctoring.

And he's roped his
son into helping him.

Talk about
responsible parenting.

Try not to cut your arm
off with that thing!

- [Man 4] Sit down
there, I can't let go,

lets keep going, lets
keep squeezing it.

[audience laughing]

- [Man 5] All because
you like cottage cheese.

[indistinct]

- [Narrator] Note to self,

never to go to a wine and
cheese party at their house!

[men chattering]

- It's so gross.
- But-

- [Narrator] This next DIY doc
got the hump with a hard lump

resembling an Epidermoid
cyst in his upper lip.

So, of course, he
decides to dig into it.

But once he starts he
just has to carry on.

[beep]

In go the tweezers and...

You should never do this.

Now get yourself down to
accident and emergency!

[beep]

- Oh [beep] that hurt, and
now I have a gapper, oh buddy!

- [Narrator] That's the
least of your worries.

What's happened to your voice?

- Oh!

- [Narrator] This next guy
has located a mystery lump

blocking a salivary gland.

And he's using muscle
power to squeeze out

a long calcified mass.

[gentle music]

You've got to gland it
to him, that took guts.

Now this retch-worthy
moment is a man draining

his own abscess using a knife,

while prizing his jaw
wide-open with mouthpiece

from the game speak out,
as said no-one, ever.

Slicing open a
spot with a scalpel

is not on my list of
fun-filled activities.

t's both stupid and dangerous.I

Now cue the river of pus
and mucus followed by blood.

He won't be able to speak
out for quite some time.

ow, when a grease-filled pimpleN

is in a hard-to-reach
location, you need help.

In this case, from some
friendly, family fingers.

his one is putting up a fight.T

[playful music]

Finally, the definition
of true love,

when your family are
prepared to get behind you

and assist with a cyst.

Bad idea to use your nails as
a surgical instrument, folks,

but hey ho, looks like
there's been a happy ending.

Now swab it with antiseptic!

Sometimes body shocks
are self-inflicted.

his bizarre and gruesome stuntT

nvolves a so-called suspensioni
practitioner, Doug Smode.

Quite a crowd has gathered
to watch him dice with death

in suspending himself in
the air with metal hooks

inserted through his face.

There's got to be better
ways to spend an afternoon.

Very sensibly Doug warns
thers not to try this at home.o

I don't think we
will be, thanks Doug.

[gentle music]

Another well hung body shocker

is German artist,
Christian Prinz.

This shocking stunt sees him
suspended with flesh hooks

in his back and knees
in order to freak out

his fellow Berliners on a
local underground train.

This is all part of
Prinz's self expression.

But not something you'd
want to be forced to look at

on the Piccadilly
Line during rush hour.

[gentle music]

And just when you thought
you'd seen it all,

here's someone who
takes skin penetration

to even greater heights.

Instead of stowing his
parachute in a pack,

this reckless Finnish jumper

as attached it with metal hooksh

directly to the
skin on his back.

Now he's going to jump.

[playful music]

The medical implications
of suspension base jumping

are a grey area, largely
ecause it is next to impossibleb

to gauge how much force the
canopy exerts on the back

from different heights.

With only a handful
of thrill-seekers

having claimed to
have done this,

it's clear to see
why this risky sport

isn't exactly taking off.

On that chilling note we
need some light relief

in the form of some
more pus and goo.

Here, a fat-filled
sebaceous cyst in the neck

is laser lanced and
squeezed gently to produce

grease is the word.

Or to give its
medical term, sebum.

[gentle music]

Oodles and noodles of it.

Of all the awkward
places to get an abscess,

under your arm must
be the pits, what!

This man has a rare infection
of the sweat glands.

The huge build up of pus
produced by his immune system

means he can milk himself
to get rid of excess.

[gentle music]

This woman's armpit has
eveloped a large infected cystd

from a blocked hair follicle.

And she needs it
surgically lanced.

- [Doctor] Are you ready?

Let me know if you feel
any pain, you shouldn't.

- [Narrator] A little
nick from the scalpel

[suspenseful music]

and out comes jets of pus.

Lucky he brought
that shopping bag.

[gentle music]

Now in go the scissors
and out comes the last

f the yellow bacterial residue.o

Lovely, not.

[gentle music]

Talking of big things,

this is an extremely
infected abscess.

They say abscess makes
the heart grow fonder,

the poor guy has had to take
this whopper on the chin

to the medics, well, he had
no choice, or so he thought!

[gentle music]

And what are the chances
that a tiny spider bite

on the arm has got so infected

that this guy has ended
up in the emergency room.

There's only one thing
for it, cut into it.

What a relief that must be to
see rivers of the green stuff

and still it comes.

Well, that's a
shocking lot of pus.

And we are nearly at the end
of our roller coaster ride

through the most shocking
and revolting back waters

of the human body,

so to get us over
the line to 101,

here's an assortment
of offbeat individuals

who are embracing
their body shocks

and daring to be different.

Ted Richards doesn't
look like somebody

who follows convention.

[upbeat bright music]

Clearly he got bored
with the normal look

nd had a range of modificationsa
starting with tattoos,

piercings, a split tongue
and eye-watering tattoos

directly into his eye balls.

He was clearly prepared to
ignore the risks of infection

to his eyes in order to
achieve his unique look.

And the inspiration?

His beloved pet parrot.

Though, it's unclear
whether he's polyamorous.

[gentle music]

Model, Natasha Crowns,
attempts to look different

started when she was just
a regular 19-year-old.

But to hit the big time she
decided she rearly needed

o bag herself a bigger bootie.t

Millions of calories and
three Brazilian butt lift

operations later she
boasts an 80-inch ass.

But this is not the end
for Natasha's rear end

as through a strict
pizza and Nutella diet,

she's aiming to achieve
her ultimate dream,

the biggest bum on the planet.

This guy's influences
seem more off-the planet.

His modifications are
almost extra-terrestrial,

with state of the art
ultra violet tattoos

and silicon horn implants.

He describes himself
as a trans-humanist

ho is evolving with technology.w

Whatever you say, buddy!

ut prize for most modified manB

must surely go to Columbian
tattooist, Eric Ramirez,

who has spent two years
making himself into a skull,

as you do.

After years of
tattoos and piercing

he decided to up the ante
and had the lower half

of his nose removed and most
of his ear lobes cut off.

Then hollow shading
inked around his eyes

to complete the job.

He claims to take
inspiration from death

as a natural process and
he certainly has succeeded

in looking dead shocking!

We can't top that one.

So, that's your lot.
