Horrendously awkward tv moments

[Aquasport]

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...

Second the Joss Stone and Michael Barrymore ones - I watched both and felt like I wanted the ground to swallow me up.

Aaaaaargh...

Gawd yes Joss stone went to America for a month and came back with an American accent it was so cringy.

Tater, no not his show (I can't bring myself to watch it) but this ad with the T Rex song, desperately trying to confer some cool on the least cool person on the planet. I hate it that they've put the music of someone I liked, over this gurning twit. And because it's an ad you have no warning it's coming. My kids watch this cringey TV show he hosts, as well, with Freddie Flintoff, etc. It always strikes me as him trying to impress the sort of lads who'd have flicked wet towels at him in the changing rooms at school. And I feel bad because I should be on his side. But I can't be. He makes me squirm.

Yep Keith Chegwin in Naked Jungle.

I was trying to describe this to a New Zealander who had seen Cheggers in an episode of Extras, but didn't really know who it was. It actually defied explanation.

Re. the Jarvis stage invasion - I was already squirming at MJ and everything about him (sorry, fans of MJ) and so was cheering Jarvis on, as it happened...

If you've ever seen National Lampoon's European Vacation (you should, it's fab!) they based the game show host in that on Richard Dawson. In the film he goes for proper full on tongue kisses!

Richard Dawson was a right bastard behind the scenes apparently, that's why they got him to play the psycho game show host in The Running Man - apparently the director and Arnie thought nobody would be able to play it as realistically as he could!

Anytime a child sings.

For me, you'll never get more awkward than these 7 minutes:

Just everything about it. The being proud of going out with Jodie Marsh, the telling the first girl she was his pick (and thus turning all the over girls off him), the really awful attempts to be quirky with the meerkat thing. Everything about it is just absolutely bloody awful.

It's stuck in my mind years later!

Oh this as well. I used to love The Crystal Maze and was pissing myself watching this live. I've never seen Richard get so frustrated before or since! "PRESS U3!!!" I'm still laughing now, 20-odd years later.

Cliff Richard Wired for Sound video is funny

Can't believe this thread has got this far, and no one has mentioned "Something for the Weekend" ...

cringe away :)

I also notice that "" has been collectively forgotten

Richard Blackwood not knowing how to zest a lemon

whowould WTF?!?!
It does defy explanation.

Joey Essex.

Yes just Joey Essex on anything lets put the thick boy on telly

JoffreyBaratheon - We're both thinking of the same ad, but in my head the track was 'Cars' by Gary Numan. Now I remember that's one of the other ads in the series. You're right, it's 'Get it On' by T-Rex in the green light one.

Bloody hell .

You're absolutely right, Hesterton. That hideous clip says so much about the 1970s.

That first kiss show where the guy walks in to kiss the girl and he doesn't kiss her he just gives her a fucking awkward hug and she's well hard done by

Will find out what the shows called

Love at first kiss m.youtube.com/watch?v=dBo5-6WotEM

Fucking hell that video of hutchence and Yates. The way they looked at eachother!

He was such a fox 😈

Oh heck, I just watched back that Britain's Got Talent clip of the pushy stage mother and the poor little sobbing girl. I remember we laughed heartily throughout it when watching it live. Now I feel bad. Poor kid.

Can you imagine going through the rest of your school life with other kids belting out 'Edelweiss' then laughing?

Hesterton that is awful - so shocking. Why in the fuck weren't people listening to those kids' instincts.

Steve McLaren developing a bizarre Dutch accent, so cringe worthy

Oh and Mark Wahlberg pissed on Graham Norton. The shame.
