Kicked in the Nuts was a spoof of hidden camera shows created in August 2003 for Channel 101. It was written, directed, produced, and edited by Mike Henry and Patrick Henry. Mike Henry, dressed in a blue jump suit, sunglasses and bright orange afro wig, gives supposedly unknowing victims a firm "kick in the nuts". Each victim at first seems to be angered and confront their attacker (or in some cases begin to attack back), but Mike quickly explains that they have been victims of the show Kicked in the Nuts. At this point, the victim laughs and acts pleased to be part of the show. However, it ended up being canceled the following month.

It is said to be staged because the victim's reactions are unrealistic and attacking children would lead them into serious damage.

The show uses a laugh track and audience footages from various award shows, which is one of the key points of the criticism.

The Kicked in the Nuts prankster was featured in the Family Guy episode "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire", written by Mike and Patrick in which Mike provides voices for a few characters, including Cleveland. Peter gets unexpectedly kicked in the nuts by the prankster and tells his audience that he found a victim so they can applause for him.

Kicked in the Nuts was also featured on a David Letterman's Top 10 Signs You're Not Going to Win an Academy Award, wherein the 3rd Reason was Played The Coveted Role of "Man Who Gets Kicked In The Nuts"

The show now produces episodes Every Monday, which are viewable on the official website.
