"Cersei and Jamie's relationship in Game of Thrones was so WTF. I mean, seriously they were twins!"

—justineschiering

"Melisandre giving birth to a shadow/smoke monster in Game of Thrones was so bizarre."

—kevinmkerrigan

2. Doctor Who

BBC / Via giphy.com

"The early Weeping Angels episodes were creepy as hell! I've never gone back to watch them because they scared me so much at the time."

"Remember that wild time when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on live effing TV?"

4. The Witcher

Netflix / Via giphy.com

"Scenes in The Witcher can get pretty intense. Like when Fringilla paralysed an entire room of people and slowly murdered them one by one – they were completely aware of what was happening and could feel everything! Then there was the part where an elf baby was killed, so its mother went on to murder EVERY baby in the city in one second."

5. Tiger King

Netflix / Via giphy.com

"That three-person wedding in Tiger King was pretty unhinged."

—tobacco69

6. Skins

E4 / Hulu / Via giphy.com

"Season two of the UK series featured a musical about 9/11, which had a song with the lyrics "then came the day Osama blew us away". It was needlessly bizarre."

—han2020

7. American Horror Story

FX / Via giphy.com

"The most WTF thing I've seen has got to be in American Horror Story: Coven where the witch girl was stuck in a nightmare and her teacher kept making her kill a frog over and over again. That scene really messed me up — her screaming and the pop of the frog made me sick."

—JadedHunter

"In the very first episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, it's revealed that Evan Peters's character has a hand deformity, and that he was pleasuring young women with his deformed hand. If I remember correctly, not all the girls knew what was about to happen – they were just told to go into a room with him. That was super terrible. I was so scarred by that episode that I refuse to try a different season."

8. The PowerPuff Girls

"That scene in The Powerpuff Girls where Miss Bellum helps the Mayor sharpen a pencil... totally unhinged."

—melissaschreiner

9. SpongeBob SquarePants

Nickelodeon / Via giphy.com

"Remember that scene in SpongeBob SquarePants where Squidward got stuck in a 'nowhere dimension'. I obviously didn't know what having a trip was as a kid, and watching that episode was probably the closest I ever got to being on drugs at the time. It was actually one of the first things to make me question the nature of human existence."

—hiitsnicetomeetyou

10. House of the Dragon

HBO / Via giphy.com

"In episode four of the current series, Daemon Targaryen takes Rhaenyra – his literal niece – to a brothel and kisses her. He then leaves halfway through so she returns to the castle and sleeps with her sworn knight Ser Criston. I was left thinking, 'wtf?'"

—sure_bea

11. RuPaul's Drag Race UK

BBC Three / Via giphy.com

"I'm not gonna lie, it was completely unhinged when RuPaul had that complete and utter meltdown over a queen wearing an H&M dress."

—succinylcholine

12. Younger

TV Land / Paramount+ / Via giphy.com

"The TV moment that scarred me was when Matthew Morrison had a cameo on Younger, and we saw him having sex with a sheep. Literally WTF! It hurt my brain, but it was a super funny show otherwise."

—emilyw47d8096f9

13. 13 Reasons Why

Netflix / Via giphy.com

"Something that definitely had me at a loss for words was the suicide scene in the first season of 13 Reasons Why. It was *very* graphic, and for some reason has stayed with me for a long time. I can handle pretty messed up things, but that scene really bothered me emotionally."

—thatonecraftgirl

Note: after years of backlash, this scene retroactively was removed as of 2019. Showrunners were also advised against including it in the first place.

14. Celebrity Big Brother UK

BBC One / Via giphy.com

"It was hilariously unhinged when Tiffany Pollard mistakenly believed David Gest was dead in the bedroom. Honestly, it's a lot funnier than it sounds."

—allport

"George Galloway drinking milk from Rula Lenska’s hand and pretending to be a cat in a repulsively over-sexual manner. It’s literally the only thing I've ever seen on TV that made me feel physically sick, and I can never ever watch it again."

—charlottelouisem2

15. Cheaters

Netflix / Via giphy.com

"I can never forget when the host of Cheaters got stabbed on a boat."

—graceb40abd7f9e

Note: This moment was "probably definitely staged."

16. The Game

Evette Dionne @freeblackgirl

Tasha Mack singing “Take a Bow” is one of the most iconic moments in the history of television. I can’t wait to watch this show again.

12:34 AM - 16 Aug 2020

Twitter: @freeblackgirl

"In season three, when Tasha got fired and her secret boyfriend (played by Rick Fox) steals her position so she sings “Take A Bow” by Rihanna to him. It's meant to signify that their relationship is done, but the moment goes on for entirely too long and she doesn’t sound great. Rick looks so confused, it’s just a mess."

—ambam8813

17. Nip/Tuck

FX / Via giphy.com

"It's an older show, but in Nip/Tuck there's this lady who has to go to the doctor to get her nipples repaired. It's later discovered that she had to get them repaired because she was putting peanut butter on herself and having her dog lick it off. The episode even ends with her husband saying 'I killed your lover' before he dumps the dead dog on the recovery room floor."

18. United States Capitol attack of 2021

"I mean, the most unhinged thing I've seen happen on television? January 6, 2021. Enough said."

—rorysmom

19. Grey's Anatomy

ABC / Via giphy.com

"Lots of Grey's Anatomy moments could fit the bill, but the one that comes to mind is the whole Denny storyline in season two. Izzie falls in love with a patient who needs a heart transplant, so she cuts his LVAD wire so he gets worse and it brings him to the top of the donor list. THEN Burke gets shot on his way into the hospital and he can't help Denny, so Izzie panics and tries to keep Denny alive. He ends up getting a heart transplant, proposes, she says yes, and then he dies anyway! THAT was unhinged."

—ultimatefangirl12

"The most WTF thing I've seen was when Izzie kept having sex with Denny's ghost on Grey's Anatomy."

—fuzzywuzzykoala

20. Noel's House Party

BBC One / Via giphy.com

"Everything about Mr. Blobby from Noel Edmonds' BBC One television show was unhinged."

—legate

21. Glee

FOX / Via giphy.com

"There are so many WTF moments from Glee. The wildest one I can think of is when Kurt and Blaine were trapped in a fake elevator and forced to kiss in order to be let out. The creepy Sue puppet freaked me out, and I nearly lost it when it started moaning after they finally kissed."

—smokeyandvv

22. The Rehearsal

HBO / Via giphy.com

"Sweet lord, The Rehearsal. Every single episode is ten steps too far into the psyche of humans, specifically awkward humans. However, the finale was especially depraved and unhinged. I don't want to give any spoilers, but it might be the greatest thing I've ever seen on television."

—adrianao4caf40365

23. And finally, Riverdale

The CW / Via giphy.com

"I think Riverdale is an obvious answer for the most WTF TV, but specifically the plot line where that cult leader – played by Chad Michael Murray of all people – tried to escape on a homemade rocket ship. The show had basically become a parody of itself by that point."

—cccflgacga

"The scene in Riverdale where the 'Black Hood' kills Midge before a school play, and then literally puts her body on display on the stage in front of the entire school when the curtains open. It was effing crazy!"

—aries97

"Most of Riverdale applies here, but the scene with the cheerleaders performing 'Jailhouse Rock' outside of a prison was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. I think I completely stopped watching after that."
