00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:01 Oh, Jack, stop!
00:03 Come on!
00:06 Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:08 And today, we're counting down our picks
00:10 for moments of on-screen or implied TV intimacy
00:14 that have us, or the characters, cringing,
00:16 whether they actually go all the way or not.
00:19 Spoiler alert-- major plot-related awkwardness
00:22 will abound.
00:23 I think I'm going to go get--
00:27 I'll see if the front desk has a seam ripper.
00:31 Number 10-- Dan, Olivia, and Vanessa makes three.
00:35 Gossip Girl.
00:36 The phrase, "two is company, three is a crowd"
00:39 has never been more apropos.
00:41 You ever--
00:42 Have I-- no.
00:43 When Dan and Olivia decide to include roommate
00:45 Vanessa in their threesome, things get predictably dull.
00:50 It doesn't help matters that the scene is brief after weeks
00:53 and weeks of hype.
00:54 Also, Hilary Duff of Lizzie McGuire fame is involved.
00:57 So that has the potential to feel strange.
01:00 Gossip Girl has never failed to deliver
01:02 on sexy, soapy goodness before.
01:04 But even fans were shrugging at this perfunctory
01:07 and unmemorable scene.
01:08 In short, making a fictional threesome this conventional
01:12 can and should be considered a misdemeanor against television.
01:15 What's going on?
01:16 Do you bozos have a threesome or something?
01:20 Oh, God.
01:21 Number 9-- Monica's parents get it on--
01:24 friends.
01:25 Hiding a love affair with your parents' friend from them?
01:28 Who hasn't been there?
01:29 Arguably worse, however, is hiding your romance from them
01:32 in a bathtub while they decide to make out and more.
01:35 He told Johnny that he thinks he's falling in love with her.
01:38 Monica and her older boo Richard may
01:40 be forbidden lovers tempting fate and social convention.
01:43 But they were slowly getting ready to come clean.
01:46 Maybe we should just tell him.
01:48 Maybe we should just tell your parents first.
01:51 My parents are dead.
01:52 And yes, Monica herself has gotten
01:55 into her fair share of inopportune situations.
01:58 Regardless, no one deserves to witness their parents being
02:01 intimate in the bathroom with no way out.
02:04 Her reaction says it all.
02:06 Honestly, we feel the same while watching.
02:08 This is not an interaction we want to be in the room for.
02:11 It's my birthday.
02:14 Number 8-- Polo and Ander connect while Guzman sleeps--
02:18 a lead.
02:19 People these days can be so rude.
02:21 In the second season of Elite, Ander and Polo
02:24 help an intoxicated Guzman get to sleep.
02:26 That's nice.
02:27 But then the pair gets a little too cozy.
02:30 One thing leads to another, and they
02:31 grow intimate beside Guzman's unconscious form.
02:34 Seriously, guys.
02:36 Did we mention Guzman is still mourning
02:38 the loss of his sister Marina?
02:39 This is mood whiplash at its worst.
02:42 Plus, Ander may have had a fight with his boyfriend Omar.
02:46 But he is still essentially cheating on him.
02:48 Oh, and also, Polo is Marina's murderer.
02:51 Needless to say, this scene is truly
02:54 unnecessary on all levels.
02:56 Number 7-- Caught in the Act--
02:58 Modern Family.
02:59 An unfortunate walk-in incident has truly awkward consequences.
03:03 Alex, Haley, and Luke decide to surprise their parents
03:06 Claire and Phil with breakfast, only to get
03:08 the surprise of their lives.
03:09 One, two, three.
03:12 [SCREAMING]
03:16 We know it's totally natural.
03:18 But it's not something any kid wants
03:20 to see their parents doing.
03:21 It's also not something any parent wants their offspring
03:24 witnessing them do, for that matter.
03:26 They screamed.
03:26 They dropped a tray of dishes.
03:28 And then they ran out of here like they were on fire.
03:30 This chaotic, panicked scene, though brief,
03:32 makes that plenty evident.
03:34 Funnily enough, the kids later give their mom and dad
03:37 a lock as an anniversary gift.
03:39 Now, every time they use it, Alex, Haley, and Luke
03:42 will know what is going down--
03:44 our sincerest sympathies.
03:46 We'll use it all the time.
03:47 Number 6-- Marshaw and Lily Picture Their Parents.
03:51 How I Met Your Mother.
03:52 It might be healthy to marry someone like your parents.
03:55 But Marshall and Lily didn't need to know that.
03:57 Psychologically speaking, it's perfectly normal
04:00 to wind up with someone like your parents.
04:02 Once the power couple hear this common psychological
04:04 observation, they each start thinking a bit too
04:07 hard about the other's habits.
04:09 Suddenly, neither can look at the other
04:11 without visualizing their respective fathers.
04:13 And thanks to this sitcom's clever narrative device,
04:16 we can't either.
04:18 I am going to rock your world.
04:23 In order to represent Lillian Marshall's imaginations,
04:26 actors Chris Elliott and Bill Fagerbakke
04:28 actually take the place of their onscreen children.
04:31 We cringe as much as the characters
04:33 whenever we watch this force vomit-inducing interaction.
04:37 The ick factor is all in their head.
04:40 But it's enough to make even the first base of this hookup
04:43 scene scary.
04:44 No, I can't go through with this.
04:46 Thank God, me neither.
04:47 Number five, first time flashbacks, New Girl.
04:50 It's often romanticized as a momentous,
04:52 life-altering moment.
04:54 But sometimes, losing your virginity is just a mess.
04:57 In this episode, New Girl's ensemble characters
04:59 talk about their first experiences.
05:01 And we're treated to some wild tales.
05:04 Promise you, mine's worse than all of yours.
05:06 It's hard to choose the most awkward yet hilarious one.
05:09 There's Jess demanding that her prom date rip off her dress,
05:12 trying to hook up with a musician,
05:14 and finally getting intimate with a fireman named Teddy.
05:17 Take me home, Teddy.
05:20 Take me home.
05:21 There's a very greased up Schmidt struggling,
05:24 and Nick ultimately having to give him a hand.
05:27 There's Winston's very brief encounter.
05:29 Oh, and there's Cece, whose first time was with Mick Jagger.
05:33 Let's just say they all deserve their moment
05:36 in the hall of shame.
05:37 Hello.
05:38 I'd like to make love to you.
05:40 Number four, authentically cringeworthy, sex education.
05:44 Speaking of cumbersome sex scenes,
05:46 here's a show that opens with one of the clumsiest
05:49 we can imagine.
05:49 High school sweethearts Amy and Adam
05:51 fool around to typically tricky results.
05:54 We can't show much of it here.
05:55 But it ends with Adam faking enjoyment
05:57 and Amy catching him out.
05:59 Did you just fake it?
06:00 It's a horribly uncomfortable situation for the pair.
06:03 And it isn't a walk in the park for us either.
06:05 That's probably because it's so real.
06:08 The show does an incredible job of portraying intimacy
06:10 in all its complications.
06:12 And yes, cringiness.
06:14 In fact, if we're including almost sex scenes,
06:17 this attempt between Otis and Lily midway through season one
06:20 would definitely be up there for secondhand embarrassment.
06:23 Number three, Jamie and Cersei Lannister
06:28 are discovered, Game of Thrones.
06:30 The TV adaptation of George RR Martin's epic novels
06:33 grew infamous for its graphic sex scenes.
06:36 Indeed, there is no shortage of embarrassingly frank
06:39 and sometimes disturbing ones of most every kind.
06:43 Perhaps none is as freakish as seeing twins
06:45 Jamie and Cersei Lannister's trysts
06:47 to the eyes of Bran Stark.
06:49 Everything from what the siblings are doing
06:51 to the way they're discovered to the violent way in which they
06:54 react has us hiding our faces behind a pillow.
06:56 It's simply too hard to watch.
06:59 He saw us.
07:00 I heard you the first time.
07:01 The shenanigans don't stop there either.
07:04 In season eight, Arya, the Stark we've grown up with,
07:07 seduces Gendry, the things we do for love.
07:10 Arya, I--
07:14 Number two, Archie and Veronica in the shower, Riverdale.
07:17 As we know, nature's mating imperative
07:20 can strike at the most inconvenient of times.
07:22 One minute you're washing your dad's blood off yourself
07:25 after he's been shot.
07:26 The next minute your girlfriend wants to join you.
07:28 And of course, the answer is yes.
07:30 Archie?
07:32 You OK?
07:33 Granted, this scene wouldn't feel so completely odd
07:36 under different circumstances.
07:37 But Fred's life is literally hanging in the balance.
07:41 And these two are doing this?
07:43 Thought you might want some company?
07:45 Oh, and of course, there's not a piece of jewelry or hair
07:49 out of place on Veronica the whole time.
07:51 Hey, Riverdale is going to be Riverdale after all.
07:55 We wouldn't call this shower scene steamy.
07:57 Thankfully, it's brief.
07:58 But it remains oh so awkward.
08:00 I thought I wanted to help.

08:19 Number one, the Obama moment, Fleabag.
08:22 The 44th president of the United States
08:25 has never been so beloved for all the wrong reasons.
08:28 Whatever your political persuasion,
08:30 there are a few things that can best watching Fleabag
08:32 pleasure herself to Barack Obama's press conference speech.
08:35 The divisions of tribe, the divisions of sect.
08:40 We also know that--
08:41 Naturally, her boyfriend is also there
08:43 and wakes up at the most inopportune time.
08:46 Yikes.
08:47 What are you doing?
08:48 Nothing.
08:48 Talk about making an impression in your pilot.
08:50 Many online couldn't help but react
08:52 when Obama later included the show's following season
08:55 in his yearly best of list.
08:57 Perhaps he felt flattered?
08:59 Not to be top, Phoebe Waller-Bridge
09:01 gave him a cheeky shout out in her Golden Globes
09:03 acceptance speech.
09:04 Fleabag remains Fleabag, incorrigibly
09:07 inappropriate as always.
09:09 What's he talking about?
09:10 Iraq.

09:16 you never turned the TV on?
