People Are Sharing The Most Awkward TV & Movie Moments They’ve Seen

While “cringe” TV is popular now, there will always be scenes in movies or TV that go too far or that make us uncomfortable.

Sometimes, it’s a good thing to be shaken out of your comfort zone. Other times, it’s just really unnecessary.

On Reddit, people are talking about what was the most uncomfortable or awkward scene they’ve ever seen on film or on the small screen.

Unsurprisingly, The Office and Breaking Bad show up a lot—as does actor Joaquin Phoenix. My favorite from this list has to be Rocky because OH MY GOD that was an extremely odd interaction he had with Adrian. What scenes make you uncomfortable?

“So one time my grandparents were staying at my house and they asked how to use the TV. I was out of town and just told them how to get on Netflix. The first suggestion was that Black Mirror episode where they make the guy f**k a pig. They watched it and were so horrified it really wasn’t even funny. My grandma called me completely distraught asking how to turn the TV off and my grandpa had left the house because he was so disturbed.” — datacollect_ct

“Happiness – the scene where the father admits to his 12-year-old son that he is a pedophile and has raped boys his age. At one point the son asks him if he was ever going to rape him, and the father replies, ‘no, I’d just jerk-off instead.’ I felt like I needed a shower after watching that movie.” — VictorBlimpmuscle

“The guy being stabbed in Saving Private Ryan, if you’ve seen it you know exactly which part this is and why it’s so hard/horrible to watch. I hated this scene to the point that I haven’t watched this film a second time, I first watched it in like 2003/4 or thereabouts and have never watched it since as I know that scene is in the film.” — rehebid

“The scene in Better Call Saul where he gets the job at the copying machine company and then rips the enthusiastic owners for hiring him on the spot.” — cwalkerrr

“Definitely the masturbation scene in Her. I watched that on the big screen, man. Never before have I been surrounded by people wanting to crawl out of their own skin, for what, two minutes? It felt like hours. Are they really going there? Of course they have to go there. Okay, we get it. Okay, you can stop now. Please, God, let it be over. ANY TIME NOW. Gotta give the actor credit for even trying. That took balls.” — BurpBee
