Urban Legends

- Season 1

(2007)

We kick off with the legend of a junkie who got shot at close range, found the Lord and then miraculously coughed out the bullet lodged in his chest. Then, we meet a German on a business trip to Rio, who wakes from a night on the town to find he's had one of his kidneys stolen. And to top it off, there's the story of a gang leader who sends a new recruit out on a deadly mission.

We introduce you to the man who was buried under a pile snow and escaped by doing what he likes best - drinking beer. How about being crushed by a 4-ton road roller and living to tell the tale! Finally, we have the story of an army recruit who was pushed to the edge and whose drastic actions backfired.

Would you put your poodle in a microwave oven to dry? Well, the woman in our first story did. Poor pooch. Then we meet a family who hates Christmas. After you see their story you'll understand why, when Santa's trip down the chimney brings Yuletide tragedy. Lastly, meet a man who designed his own ingenious flying machine, and cheats death on the maiden flight.

Was it the hapless hippies who took a hit of LSD and then lost their eyesight? The bored young men of Spokane who decide to boost their buddy's self-confidence by streaking through a family restaurant in the middle of winter. Or the guys who decide to go hunting but wind up only killing their dog and blowing up a very expensive vehicle.

The story of young man who prepares for a date by buying condoms without realising the shopkeeper is his girlfriend's father The soldier who walked around with a broken neck for 60 years without knowing! A scuba enthusiast really goes out for a dip, only to end up giving his life to putting out a forest fire.

We start with the straight-A student who suffered a fatally painful exam, we then move on to the woman who experienced a truly gut wrenching cruise due to a powerful toilet, and we end with the story of the groom, the stripper and the stag night that goes tragically wrong.

First, there's the bizarre cat who manages to mimic her owner's every illness - with drastic results. Then, the unlucky cat who's rescued by the fire brigade only to find a far worse fate. And lastly, the feisty fish who took on a big man - and won the battle.

There goes the neighborhood as all three stories are based in households from hell! We start with the death of a cat that led to a disastrous dinner party, then we show you how a landslide ruined a family's home but revealed a treasure trove and finally you'll see how one husband went to extremes to save his marriage.

We start with how a little guy took on a corporate goliath using chocolate pudding as his only weapon, then you'll meet a Marine who receives a package from home containing his just desserts and finally we have the cash-trapped dimwit who decided to ship himself home in a box to join his family for Thanksgiving.

This episode features a trio of chilling tales involving people being plunged into nightmare scenarios: the man whose life literally went down the drain one rainy morning; the unsuspecting visitor locked up at the mental asylum in a case of mistaken identity; and the golfer who had a fatal encounter with a water hazard.

Our trio of tales featured the age-old battle between good and evil. We start with a cursed hospital bed that claims the lives of all those who sleep in it, then we have the Sicilian town that spontaneously combusts - even when the power is off - and to round things off we have the church choir whose bad timing turned into good fortune.

First we have the philanderer who was ratted out by a feathered friend, then we have the dream car covered in concrete in a jealous rage and finally, we have an adulterer whose lottery luck left him a loser in love. And in between, a wife who cheated on her husband without touching another man, the tram accident that made a woman insatiable and a hairdresser who made a terrible mistake.

We begin with the woman who was struck by lightning not once but twice and instead of killing her, the lightning cured here of her crippling disease. Then we meet the young man who took a dip in the Amazon River only to discover size really does matter when it comes to parasites! We close with the woman whose tongue became a buggy menace thanks to an egg infested envelop.

One of these stories is a real pain while the other two are just pains in the neck. Our first story involves a young man's terrible battle with a twister which left him quite winded, the second story features a bovine beauty who comes to an explosive when a couple of farmers devise a gassy plan and finally we meet a legendary beauty who endured great pain to preserve her looks.
