MANswers, a portmanteau of man + answers, is a satire aimed at predominantly male audiences, primarily aged 18–40. Questions of a comical nature are asked and answered which usually relate to women and dating tips, sex-related questions and trivia, defense mechanisms in harmful situations, and firearms. 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.[2][3][4]
