Every year, Discovery faces a drop-off in ratings once Shark Week ends. The solution, of course, is do-it-yourself survival enemas. Last year, it was Bear Grylls giving himself a memorable bat guano enema while adrift in the Pacific. And now we have this clip from Season 2 of “Man, Woman, Wild” (premiering September 2nd), in which Ruth England gives her husband Mikel Hawke an enema with a gas tube and some dirty rainwater in order to keep him hydrated.
I have to say, British accents really class up a MacGyver-style hydration enema. Grylls had the winning line of “Lie back and think of England!,” Ruth England cheerfully uses the terms “backside” instead of “anal sphincter,” and Hawke’s straight-faced delivery of “Now I’m gonna configure to receive enema” is a pretty highbrow way of saying, “This tube’s goin’ in my pooper.”
