The podcast episodes provided demonstrate the use of shock humor, where the hosts and guests make outrageous, intentionally shocking statements and engage in off-color humor to provoke controversy and surprise.

For example, in the Kill Tony episode, the hosts and guests contribute to the 'raunchy, off-the-rails conversational style' and 'outrageous stories' that are prevalent throughout the episode. Similarly, in the Last Podcast on the Left episode, the hosts 'regularly employ shock humor, making outrageous statements and hypotheticals to elicit surprise and provoke controversy'.

Shock humor can be used to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in comedy, often touching on sensitive topics or using vulgar language to challenge the audience's expectations and comfort levels.
