21 Ridiculously Cheesy Or Stupid TV Scenes And Lines That Literally Ruined The Entire Show
TV shows almost always get worse as they go — that’s to be expected. Usually, the decline is gradual. But sometimes, something so out of pocket and bizarre happens that you literally decide “that’s it. I am never watching this show again.”
Here are 21 TV moments and lines that were ridiculously out of place, tonally off, over the top, or just plain badly written/acted.
1. On Glee, when they performed “Gangnam Style” and made Tina — one of the only significant Asian characters* — do the rap:
ABCVERY few TV shows can pull off a musical episode (really the only great example out there is Buffy), and Grey’s Anatomy‘s attempt was just a miss. Friends, your show has got to be campy if you’re going to do a musical episode, and Grey‘s is not camp enough. Singing “How to Save a Life,” an iconic Grey’s song pulled from more serious moments, just felt soo cringe here, especially because it was played completely straight.
Watch the scene here:
MTVIN WHAT WORLD IS IT BETTER TO HOLD SOMEONE DANGLING FROM THE EDGE OF A BUILDING WITH YOUR TEETH THAN YOUR HANDS??? I understand Scott’s werewolf teeth are strong, but his teeth are several feet from his hands. Why didn’t he adjust and get a better grip, or use his claws??? It was such a ridiculous way to put Scott in a situation where he “had” to turn someone.
Watch the scene here:
The CWLook, I know Riverdale was already completely ridiculous and over the top, and there should probably be something from an earlier episode on this list. But…I just can’t get over this one. Where was that rocket going??? To space??? I cannot.
Watch the scene here:
HBOThis made me so mad because A) it was SO LONG, B) it was unneccesary for the plot and just felt like a promo moment for Dominic Fike, and C) in what world does RUE need to apologize to ELLIOT? Elliot enabled her using, and then let Jules and Rue’s mom flush a suitcase of drugs that Rue was supposed to sell down the toilet, rather than try to return them so Rue didn’t go $10,000 in debt with a scary drug dealer!!!! Like, dude, I want to hear YOUR apology, not a four-minute song. You don’t even KNOW Rue; you only know her when she’s high!!!!
Watch the scene here:
The CWMy favorite is Lucas’s expression here, like he’s blaming Dan for this happening??? It’s true poetic cinema and truly one of the wildest things I have ever seen on TV. I can’t believe the show continued for three seasons after this.
Watch the scene here:
The WBI mean, do we need to go into why this was bad? Cordelia changed that boy’s diapers and was in love with his dad…like a couple months prior. Yes, we later find out Cordy was possessed here, but that doesn’t excuse it. This plotline was inexcusable. I also love how she had to do it because it was the “end of the world” and then fire rained from the sky but…literally nothing else happened.
Watch the scene here:
The WBHOW DID EVERYONE NOT REALIZE SHE WAS EVIL RIGHT THEN AND THERE??? IN WHAT CONTEXT WOULD CORDY WEAR THIS??? Her voice and outfit and necklace and UGH…it’s all just so cringe and un-Cordy.
I can’t find the clip, but it’s at the end of 4×15. You can watch the show on Amazon!
9. On The Secret Life of the American Teenager, when Grace’s dad died right as she had sex for the first time — and then there was a scene where she blamed herself and uttered this iconic line:
FreeformWatch the moment here:
ShowtimeI think every Dexter fan can admit that this one scene basically ruined the entire show. This isn’t GoT, people. We don’t want sibling incest. Yeah, they aren’t technically blood related, but they were raised as siblings, and this was just completely out of pocket and horribly executed.
Watch the scene here:
NBCMaybe not quite as bad as being in love with your brother…or maybe worse, since Ross and Cassie are ACTUALLY related!!! This was so gross to me, and the fact that it was played for laughs….eurgh. If I had any affection left for Ross at this point, it was lost in this scene.
Watch the scene here:
NBCFriends was so good at cliffhangers like this, but this one was just…too far. In no world would Rachel think Joey was proposing. And then later, they actually get together??? It’s the most random couple ever and they had NO chemistry. It felt like the show was running out of ideas at that point — and ways to keep Ross and Rachel apart.
Watch the scene here:
The CWI can’t find the above scene, but it’s at the end of 7×06. You can watch the show on HBO Max.
14. Though tied for a close second is the scene at the end of the same episode, when it’s revealed that Jo’s twins were magically transported into Caroline’s womb the season prior, and Caroline — a vampire — is now pregnant:
The CWWatch the scene here:
FreeformA did a bunch of wild stuff, but literally implanting Emily’s donated eggs into Ali…WHO CAME UP WITH THIS? I just want to talk.
Watch the scene here:
Disney+ / MarvelWhile I didn’t like what Multiverse of Madness did in making Wanda a full villain, honestly my bigger issue was with the end of WandaVision. I loved how villainous Wanda was acting, while also feeling like we could still empathize with her because of the pain she was going through. But Monica acting like what she’d done was understandable was a step wayyyy too far and made it seem like the show was trying to excuse Wanda’s actions. It just felt weird and sanitized and tonally off with Wanda’s arc toward villainy. It’s a bummer because WandaVision started so strong, but it fumbled the bag at the end.
Watch the moment — as well as commentary on why it’s stupid — here:
HBOWatch the scene here:
The CWGossip Girl was always soapy, but having someone who died three seasons ago turn out to actually be alive was wayyy soapier than anything else that had happened. Also, literally no one missed Bart, and it made no sense to bring him back. One more thing — I know why Chuck is shocked, but why does BART say “Oh, my god”???
Watch the scene here (at 1:23):
The CWYou gotta watch this to understand why it’s so weird. It’s completely over the top. I understand they were making a Hitchcock/old film reference, but it’s far too heavy-handed and out of place on GG, unlike its past old film references (like in Blair’s dreams), which were tasteful.
Watch the scene here:
FoxI mean, there’s a reason this is so meme-worthy. The music choice is so laughably wrong for the moment, and it goes on for SO LONG and is so overdramatic, even considering what’s happening and the show it’s in.
