Binge watching sex and the city thanks to a horrendous cold.

The jukes and mimi viewing between Miranda and Robert is hilariously cringeworthy but also v v funny...

Michael Jackson thinking he had won Artst of the millennium award when Britney was just saying happy birthday!

MyGiddyUncle · 11/10/2016 21:47

Oh God I had to stop the Michael Jackson one, I was going hot and cold all over. I don't know why i'm reading this thread, i'm literally squirming.

Just googled...the gameshow host is dead now, he died in 2012.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawson

'Television executives repeatedly tried to get him to stop the kissing. On the 1985 finale Dawson explained that he kissed contestants for love and luck, something his mother did with Dawson himself as a child'.

Yeah right.

Nigella on Graham Norton being pissed off at her im sexy with food montage she was fumming. George Galloway and Rula Lenska on celeb big brother and he is being a cat. Oh gawd wanted to turn myself inside out. Sex in the city 2 between Samanthas menopause and them wafting about abudabi was a complete cringefest

"How's Adam?"

I love and hate this thread equally

toastytoastbear · 11/10/2016 21:54

also SATC- where Sam is dating the black guy with a racist sister and they're in bed listening to 'a track' and she's tapping her fingers and nodding along and saying about how she thought 'hip hop had a harder edge'. It's so embarrassing I could cry

Guy Goma, a taxi driver who went for a job interview at the BBC, ended up being interviewed live on BBC news as a music technology expert

When contestants on dragons den forget their words and go on to repeat the last sentence over and over

Amethyst81 · 11/10/2016 21:58

The taxi driver was hilarious, his face when he realises!

When Lynda Bellingham skidded and crashed into the serving hatch and was sworn at and sent away by Gordon Ramsay on Hell's Kitchen.

Made himself look a dick though.

Gillian mckeith 'fainting'

MrsJayy · 11/10/2016 22:01

That Meg Ryan interview was on a countdown programme I watched was so painful.

Aquasport · 11/10/2016 22:01

Awkward squirming at most of these Confused

The thick of it has awesome cringy moments. I think because so much was ad libbed.

EverySongbirdSays · 11/10/2016 22:03

All the snide and clearly homophobic remarks I didn't notice originally on Friends - a rewatch is like Shock

Felt the same about Gilmore Girls which I first watched in 2014 but which ran from 2000-2008 lots of gay/queer jibes.

Simply can't imagine it being an acceptable punchline just 8 years later

MrsJayy · 11/10/2016 22:03

Gordon Ramsey spitting out food on his american programme is really over the top cringe how he makes a living out of spitting and swearing is beyond me.

Geri Halliwell at a 'Prince's Trust' concert, trying to gee the audience up to cheer for Prince Charles for being fabulous and there was a lukewarm murmur.

Owen Paul on Pebble Mill

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 11/10/2016 22:09

Grace Jones slapping the lovely Russell Harty nasty woman

MrsJayy · 11/10/2016 22:10

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 11/10/2016 22:12

Why did Guy Goma not get the job?! I would employ him for blagging skills alone!

MargotLovedTom · 11/10/2016 22:14

It said on the YouTube comments that the game show host was called Fergy Over.

MargotLovedTom · 11/10/2016 22:14
