Ep 9. Check Out This Sucker!

In this episode of The Misery Index, titled "Check Out This Sucker!", two families compete against each other to determine who can accurately rank their own miseries against a series of bizarre and hilarious real-life scenarios. The families are composed of three contestants each, and they must use the show's signature misery index to determine the order of the different scenarios they are presented with.

The first scenario involves a man who was unknowingly tricked into paying $1,500 for a fake parrot - a fact which he only discovered when he tried to teach it how to speak. The contestants must guess the misery index ranking, which is based on how they would feel in the same situation. The more people who would be miserable in that scenario, the higher the score.

Next up is a segment called "what's the worst," where contestants must guess the correct misery index order of three different stories. The first involves a man who accidentally killed his wife's prized plants by watering them with bleach instead of water; the second features an older woman who unknowingly invited a young couple to join her for dinner, only to discover that they were actually looking for a place to have sex; the third involves a woman who accidentally mailed $1,000 in cash to the wrong person.

In the following segment, "disaster date," contestants are given a set of cringe-worthy dating scenarios and asked to guess the misery index ranking. Stories include a man who accidentally brought his date to his ex-girlfriend's birthday party; a woman who vomited on her date's shoes; and a man who got his head stuck in a restaurant booth while on a first date.

The final round, called "the mis-tache," sees the contestants try to guess the correct misery index ranking of three different mustaches. Participants must determine which mustache is the most miserable to wear, based on a series of hilarious and absurd criteria. For example, one mustache is described as belonging to a man who must wear it during a job interview to join a boy band; another mustache must be worn during a first date with a mafia boss's daughter; and the final mustache belongs to a man who must wear it while being chased by a swarm of bees.

Throughout the episode, the contestants are joined by host Jameela Jamil and the show's comedic cast of panelists, including The Tenderloins' Brian "Q" Quinn and James "Murr" Murray, as well as comedian Joe Gatto. Together, they offer up witty commentary and provide extra laughs as the families compete for the title of Misery Index champion.

Overall, "Check Out This Sucker!" is a hilarious and entertaining episode of The Misery Index that is sure to leave viewers laughing out loud. With its unique combination of outrageous scenarios, quirky trivia, and witty banter, this show is a must-watch for anyone who loves a good laugh.
