TV’s Most Awkward Moments Prove Even Characters Aren’t Perfect
In a mix of comedy and cringe, several TV characters found themselves in awkward situations. From slippery speeches to mixed-up names, here's what's been happening in the world of television.
In 'Parks and Recreation', Leslie Knope's public speaking skills were put to the test when she slipped on the ice during a speech at the hockey rink. The culprit? A short red carpet that caught her off guard.
Meanwhile, in 'Abbott Elementary', Barbara Howard had a moment of confusion when she mixed up the names of her favorite Black actors with famous white actors. The mix-up left her students and viewers in stitches.
Over in 'Derry Girls', a new teacher decided to read everyone's poems out loud, but their critique session quickly turned into a roast. Each student was made fun of individually, leaving the classroom in a state of awkwardness.
Back in the States, 'Modern Family's Claire Dunphy tried her hand at creating a haunted house in her living room. Unfortunately, no one seemed to match her enthusiasm or love for Halloween, leaving her to enjoy the spooky decorations alone.
In 'Fleabag', Claire's haircut story took an unexpected turn. Despite asking for a specific style, she ended up hating it, leaving viewers wondering what went wrong.
Back on 'Saturday Night Live', Amy Poehler revealed that she was the cast member who had to constantly break character during the 'Debbie Downer' sketch. Working with Lindsay Lohan, the hilarity of the scene proved too much for Poehler to keep a straight face.
In 'Schitt's Creek', Moira Rose attempted to pass down her mother's enchilada recipe to David. However, she struggled to demonstrate how to 'fold in the cheese', leaving David to figure it out on his own.
The BuzzFeed Community shared their favorite TV scenes that always make them laugh, proving that comedy is indeed subjective.
From slip-ups to mix-ups, these TV moments have provided plenty of laughs and cringe-worthy moments. It's clear that even fictional characters aren't immune to the awkwardness of real life.
