In season 1, episode 4 of The Misery Index, titled "How Did It Get In There?", the contestants face off in a series of misfortunate scenarios. In this episode, two teams consisting of friends, family, and coworkers must rank a series of events on the Misery Index. The Misery Index is a scale ranging from 1-100, with 100 being the worst possible outcome, based on how miserable the event would be to experience. Host Jameela Jamil and the Tenderloins, a comedy group, guide the contestants through this twisted game show, leaving the audience in stitches.

The first round of "How Did It Get In There?" is a test of grotesque medical scenarios. Teams must determine the misery ranking of a man who inserted a fish into his rectum to cure his constipation, a woman who accidentally swallowed a toothbrush while brushing her teeth, and a man who stuck his head into an exhaust pipe and got stuck. With each question, the contestants must select from four possible answers that range from not miserable at all to unbearably miserable.

In the second round, the focus shifts to an array of bizarre animal encounters. Contestants must rank the misery of a man who found a live snake in his mashed potatoes at a restaurant, a woman who woke up to find a raccoon sleeping next to her in her bed, and a man who discovered a live tarantula in his ear. The contestants must battle it out to see who can guess the correct misery ranking for these unlucky people, with the winning team earning a chance to compete for a grand prize of $30,000.

The final round is where the competition heats up. The two highest-scoring teams at the end of the previous rounds must rank real-life video clips of painful or embarrassing accidents. These include a man falling into a frozen river, a woman falling off a treadmill, and a man getting hit in the face with a football. The team that accurately predicts the correct misery ranking out of four options for each video clip wins the grand prize.

Overall, "How Did It Get In There?" is a hilarious and twisted take on traditional game shows. It is perfect for anyone who enjoys cringing at the absurd or laughing at the misfortunes of others. The contestants are witty and competitive, the hosts are charming, and the Misery Index is a unique and entertaining way to quantify just how terrible some of these scenarios truly are.
