For anyone who’s a large TV buff, bookworm, oregon movie fanatic, you cognize the rules arsenic a consumer: you instrumentality everything astatine look worth and judge the world the storyteller gives you. But each erstwhile successful a while, you measurement backmost and think, "If this really happened successful existent life, this is not okay!" You know, those scenes that marque you wheeze-laugh earlier it hits you that…yeah, that was beauteous problematic. I mean, we’ve each seen The Office, truthful I don’t deliberation I request to explicate myself overmuch further.
So yes, you guessed it — I'm starting disconnected the database with 1 of my favourite shows of each time, The Office. Followed by immoderate different large sitcom-type picks. So buckle up, due to the fact that we’re astir to tally done immoderate funny, laugh-worthy TV moments that would definitely get idiosyncratic "canceled" successful existent life.
So without further ado...
And portion we laugh, cringe, and brace for the secondhand embarrassment, if this actually happened successful existent life, Michael Scott would’ve been fired instantly and not beryllium uncovering different occupation anytime soon. And I stake Oscar would’ve gone viral connected TikTok with his story. He'd definitely be the "See you time for portion 13" type.
Now, I conscionable cringe astatine astir 95% of what comes retired of Barney’s rima erstwhile an occurrence is connected astatine the nail salon. I can’t judge an full character’s main storyline revolved astir tricking and deceiving women (who had to beryllium nether 30...like WTF?!?) into sleeping with him truthful helium could cheque them disconnected a list. It’s...pretty slimy. And if this were a idiosyncratic that I met successful the wild, I would genuinely beryllium terrified to beryllium astir them. And terrified for them. Honestly, you'd astir apt spot them adjacent connected a Netflix documentary. Cause what a creep!
3. Arrested Development: Maggie Lizer pretending to beryllium blind
But if a person ever admitted she’d too been pretending to beryllium unsighted since puerility conscionable to cheat connected her exams? I’d beryllium booking a therapist for her, stat. And if a personage pulled that today…they'd beryllium cancelled earlier the prima adjacent had a accidental to set. A sunset that they could see.
4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Jake Peralta shaving disconnected Charles Boyle's moustache without consent
Like, if I were connected a archetypal day and a feline casually told maine that his coworkers pinned him down and shaved disconnected his beard due to the fact that they were sick of it, my jaw would deed the floor. I’d beryllium telling him to telephone HR and book a therapist, due to the fact that if that happened successful existent life, everyone progressive would beryllium written up, suspended, oregon wholly cancelled. It benignant of reminds maine of that viral moment when immoderate guys chopped disconnected strangers’ apical knots and ran distant laughing. Sure, hairsbreadth grows back…but it should perfectly be their choice. Cutting hairsbreadth without consent is unbelievably chaotic behaviour.
But if idiosyncratic told maine their relative grew up and abruptly got hot, truthful they assumed that sharing a broad portion watching a movie with them was a greenish airy to buss them — their cousin — I’d beryllium retired the doorway faster than a TikTok trend. And if they tried to person maine that it wasn't a large deal, I would commencement questioning each beingness prime they’ve ever made.
6. Search Party: Elliott Goss pretending helium has crab to summation attention
But if idiosyncratic really did that successful existent life? Oh boy… I’d beryllium questioning their full beingness and ne'er spot a azygous connection that came retired of their rima for the remainder of forever. And if idiosyncratic successful the limelight tried pulling that stunt, they'd beryllium cancelled earlier you could adjacent decorativeness saying, "yikes!"
7. The Summer I Turned Pretty: Belly Conklin dating 2 brothers back-to-back (and backmost again)
If immoderate miss told maine she dated her puerility sweetheart, past — aft helium dumped her — went for his brother, dated him for years, got engaged to him...and past someway ended up backmost with the archetypal brother? I’d beryllium screaming. If you tin look astatine your spouse and say, "That’s not however your member utilized to bash it," you're successful the incorrect relationship. And if your fellow utters to his member the operation "tunnel brothers," you're doing thing wrong! Everything astir this is icky, and it wouldn’t basal a accidental successful the existent world.
8. Glee: Terri Schuester faking a pregnancy
And portion idiosyncratic successful the existent satellite would merit the aforesaid magnitude of grace — arsenic that idiosyncratic would intelligibly beryllium experiencing delusion — I don’t deliberation the net would beryllium astir arsenic benignant if a existent idiosyncratic did this. Terri would apt beryllium heavy scrutinized. Likely cancelled. But, ultimately, I’d anticipation she’d get the assistance she needs.
9. Modern Family: Claire Dunphy anonymously calling migration connected Gloria aft she started dating her dad
If idiosyncratic casually told maine they called migration connected someone, I’d earnestly see cutting them retired of my beingness entirely. That’s straight-up inserting yourself into a concern that doesn’t interest you — and successful a precise racially charged way. In 2025, we person zero clip for that nonsense. No convey you!
10. Community: Pierce Hawthorne gifting canisters of his sperm successful his will
If anyone successful existent beingness talented sperm to idiosyncratic without discourse (or consent), they'd instantly beryllium called whack and barred from the adjacent radical event. Like, no, Jeff, I do not want your canister of sperm sitting adjacent to maine portion I devour stuffing and sing on to "White Christmas"!
11. Parks and Recreation: The full Parks unit perpetually bullying Jerry
And honestly, if this happened successful a workplace today, I truly anticipation immoderate consequences would beryllium enforced. I cognize that’s astir apt not the world for a batch of people, which makes maine bittersweet — but nary 1 should bully, beryllium bullied, oregon let bullying.
12. New Girl: Jessica Day kissing Schmitt's Dad
If a person told maine they’d made retired with my dada — adjacent if they had nary thought who helium was — I’d inactive question everything. Not that my dada isn’t great! Woah, this is taking a weird turn. I conscionable mean, it’s not my dad that makes it questionable; it’s the immense property spread that makes you go…hmmmm. And if I saw a tabloid that work "big personage makes retired with bestie's father, who is 30 years her senior," I deliberation the internet may have immoderate thoughts.
13. Schitt's Creek: Child neglect of Alexis Rose erstwhile she was underage
If this happened successful existent life, Johnny and Moira Rose could perchance beryllium taken to tribunal for kid neglect and endangerment. Sure, aft Alexis turned 16, they are little liable for her experiences. But Alexis got a backmost tattoo successful Hong Kong astatine 12...and astatine that age, you should absolutely know wherever your kids are, nary substance however affluent you are. So successful existent life, Moira and Johnny would beryllium cancelled successful a heartbeat.
14. Abbott Elementary: Principal Ava perpetually hitting connected Mr. Eddie
If this were happening successful existent life, that main could get fired...or astatine the precise least, reprimanded and temporarily suspended. Just due to the fact that a superior is pistillate doesn’t marque this behaviour acceptable. It's inactive an maltreatment of power, which often gets overlooked today… but it’s inactive precise much not okay!
15. And finally... Seinfeld: George Costanza's (entire) narration with Susan
I would see George a walking information sign. I wouldn’t privation him successful my person circle, and if I heard 1 of my friends was reasoning astir dating him, I’d scream, "RUN!" Honestly, I could wholly spot his representation plastered connected 1 of those Facebook groups wherever women pass different women successful their metropolis astir definite guys. Everything astir George and this narration conscionable screams…YIKES!
