Scarred (found MTV clip show series; 2007)
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 frontman Jacoby Shaddix.
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, and the person featured on each clip would talk about the backstory of the accident, and the scar that they got from them. Each episode featured 5 clips and were usually ranked from the less 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 would come back to tell the story of a different scar they got.

Season 2
Season 2 aired on July 17th, 2007, and it also featured 10 episodes, with a TV Special inbetween. 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 labeled. 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, plus the quality of the clips vary. Episodes 15,16,17 & 18 are mostly lost, with some of the clips floating around on YouTube.

No more regular episodes of the show were produced. It's rumored that the host, Jacoby Shaddix, was busy doing a tour with his band Papa Roach, and the show wasn't popular enough to let it continue.
