Run the gauntlet

An extreme internet challenge, where you are tasked with watching some of the most horrible videos out there. There are 20 levels and each one gets harder. They include a dog being skinned alive, a baby being run over by a car, and the infamous "three guys one hammer". It is currently unknown why anyone would do this to themselves.

Person 1: Hey man, you should run the gauntlet.
Person 2: no

Run the Gauntlet

Variant spelling of "run the gantlet." Spelled either way, it's pronounced gauntlet. A gantlet is a double line of people with clubs, whips, tomahawks, fraternity paddles, or other weapons; the poor bastard being punished runs between the lines and everyone hits him as he goes by. Depending on weapons and circumstances, this has been used as an initiation, a test of courage, a way to decide which prisoner to let go (to take the message back that you are holding hostages), or a way to execute someone without making any one person responsible. Often used to describe what the in-crowd does to a noob before accepting him -- "Making him run the gantlet" is a stronger, more violent expression than "making him pay some dues" or "putting him through all the hoops."

The Indians made old Zeke run the gauntlet and when he made it through with just some cuts and a lump on his head, they let him go.

My first year on the job they made me run the gantlet, but after that I was in.

At Kappa Kappa Kappa they make us pledges run the gauntlet for three months, and then on initiation night they make us run a real gantlet; I got through with my ass only getting about five hits, but my roommate fell down and they flayed his pathetic ass.

To run the gauntlet 

To run the gauntlet is when you take on a very risky task which may result in injury, physical or verbal abuse, ridicule or shame. It can sometimes be played as a dare or challenge especially after consuming a large quantity of alcohol. If all goes wrong the consequences can be quite brutal to either yourself, someone else or a business or organisation i.e loss of a busineses reputation or a significant fall from grace. However, if all goes right then it installs a sense of pride and relief, though regardless of the result it will be a lesson learned and the task will never be repeated.

1) When playing spin the bottle and someone chooses the dare and thay have to run the gauntlet through a busy shopping centre in their birthday suit, without being caught.

2) When a company director has to face the board of shareholders and has to explain why the company is failing and what he/she/they are going to about it:

Colleague: "the shareholders are ready to see you now"
Director: "right! time to run the gauntlet, wish me luck!"
