Short-lived MTV Game Show in which contestants gambled their "prized possessions" for the chance to win better ones. Losers got to see theirs gloriously destroyed.The main game was split into two rounds of questions, which were asked in skit format in a manner similar to Remote Control. In each round, each team placed three personal items on the line for potential "trashing". The team in control selected one of the other team's items they wanted to see "trashed", at which point a category was revealed. Each category contained three buzz-in questions, and the defending team had to answer two out of three to save their possession from the hands of "Mark the Trasher", who would destroy it violently if they were unsuccessful. If the team saved their item, it could not be selected again, and that team then gained control and picked one of the opposing team's possessions for the next category.The final round was the "Survival Round", in which each team had to sacrifice one of its own members for potential "trashing", while the other answered rapid-fire questions; losing the game meant public humiliation for the contestant in question, usually involving one of the victim's phobias. The winners had a chance to take home the day's grand prize if each member could name the bands in three music videos described by the other.Trashed aired for 50 episodes, from February 14 to July 23, 1994.

One Last Smoke: Parodied. This commercial opens with a blindfolded teddy bear doing this before it gets cut up and torn apart, akin to an execution.

comment
Golden Snitch: Perfectly played, the most a team could lead after the first two rounds was 600-0; however the questions in the final Speed Round were 150 points each and rapid-fire, with more than enough time to eclipse even this score. There was a distinct advantage to winning the first two rounds, though — the more possessions a team saved, the more time they got in the Bonus Round.

Covered in Gunge: Some of the losers got covered in Gatorade, "tobacco spit", beer (some of it regurgitated). This was occasionally used as a method of trashing items, such as soaking a prom dress in rancid bean dip.
