{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Liberty City Survivor''}}
'''Liberty City Survivor''' is a reality show in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] about "20 recently paroled guys...equipped with grenade launchers and flamethrowers". They have to hunt each other down until only one man is left standing. The idea parodies reality television, especially the early 2000's trend towards more degrading formulas such as ''[[WP:Fear Factor|Fear Factor]]''. A man on the commercial states that "I was grabbing a sandwich at the [[Happy Blimp]], and all of a sudden, these guys crashed through the window and started shooting at each other. I was so excited, I didn't even notice I've been hit! After that I was hooked on Liberty City Survivor. I watch it every day in the hospital!"
