''MANswers'', a portmanteau of ''man'' + ''answers'', is a satire aimed at predominantly male audiences, primarily aged 18–40.

Specialists with Masters and PhD degrees are brought in and give information.

Overview

''MANswers'' has a magazine style format which discusses hypothetical questions believed to be the type men discuss. It has a narrator who talks about the topics, usually over a reenactment, with footage of women dancing, beer being poured, or nun-chucks. The narrator shouts MANSWERS and an explosion happens.
