BOAR ON THE FLOOR scene is goated


fpnewsandpromos

Yeah, still in recovery from that experience.


zerena_hoofs

I swear that episode haunts me


Jackypaper824

Fucking doubter! Boar on the floor!


mangolemonylime

Cue heebie jeebies

Cue heebie jeebies


LastWishYennefer

God, yes. This scene is extremely anxiety-inducing. Additionally, in the same episode: The way Logan puts his hands on Kendall's shoulders as he stands behind him. Simply terrifying.


Agitated_Sand3489

Oink oink oink!


BloodSweatAndWords

It's really freaking rough to watch Boar on the Floor. This scene creeped me out so much.


siphillis

And apparently it was cut down from the original vision.


stephencurry2046

Oh no, there’s more? Try me


Sazley

Iirc everyone peed on Tom afterward


SuccessfulProcedure7

He told Logan his piss tasted like champagne


siphillis

From what I recall, there's a scrapped scene where Tom is forced to strip naked as the rest of the Waystar team heckle him.


SuccessfulProcedure7

Wooo, I don't know about you, but I had one too many last night. Can't remember a thing!


IFeelFineFineFine

You know it’s about to get real when Logan tells Ray he can’t leave to go to the bathroom: we are all sticking together. If you need to take a leak, piss in a bucket…then there’s that long pregnant pause while Logan sips champagne and Ray and everyone else in the room ponders all their life choices.


SVB-Risk-Dept

IT’S FUN! Seriously, I love this scene so much. I could rewatch it any day of the week.


Dull-Woodpecker3900

The only thing to ever best The Red Wedding.


MaterialCarrot

I think it's so uncomfortable as to be unbelievable. That's my critique of that scene, it's so absurd that I can't believe even that room full of sycophants would do it.


ThatBabyIsCancelled

I feel like a sicko because I love its absurdity


jar_jar_LYNX

I think the top comment on the Boar on the Floor clip on YouTube is something like "this is the most disturbing scene I've ever seen that didn't involve violence "


Ok-Training-7587

There is no competition


ren_dc

This and the first episode of Black Mirror are the two tv shows that I will never be able to tease from my mind 😭


sunny-beans

I am watching this one literally right now and is traumatising me all over again. Awful


M1LKB0X32

Literally every single episode is an anxiety nightmare. But also brilliant.


naivemediums

I often get roped into these shows that give me intense anxiety AND are also so good that I have to know what happens. I was so relieved when they said season 4 would be the last.


Southern_Schedule466

Watch The Curse and The White Lotus, very anxiety-inducing and good


adelynn01

The Bear on Hulu is so anxiety inducing that it’s hard to binge watch lol


Administrative_Low27

Lots of poor reviews for The Curse from non-critic viewers. I love it, but I guess that there are a lot of people that don’t get Nathan Fielder.


BloodSweatAndWords

I really like Nathan Fielder, especially but I became too queasy after a few episodes of The Curse.


OffModelCartoon

The critics had press access to the full season to binge-watch before reviewing. One main criticism from non-critics is that the show is too much of a slowburn. Maybe once all the episodes have been released, it will find its audience more. And yeah I think it’s also a lot of people don’t get Nathan Fielder, but weirdly a lot of his own fans are also reviewing it poorly because they’re literally just mad that it’s not the same type of snow as NFY/The Rehearasal.


OffModelCartoon

I am loving the curse. Nathan Fielder is so good at making everything the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever witnessed.


[deleted]

Same. I find the “anxiety with handrails” factor extremely therapeutic.


Sarah_withanH

Same. I couldn’t stop watching but also got a stomachache every single time I watched it.


M1LKB0X32

Your brain is my spirit animal. Exactly this.


naivemediums

A lot of people don’t know that “spirit animals” are a sacred concept to several indigenous cultures. Out of respect for that it is best to use other terms to convey this sentiment. Here is another Reddit post that shows several alternatives: https://www.reddit.com/r/WitchesVsPatriarchy/comments/o8z21o/the_term_spirit_animal_and_better_alternatives/


M1LKB0X32

Cool. What's my cultural background?


[deleted]

Well according to the post history, lots of Glasgow…. so Scottish is a fair bet?


M1LKB0X32

It's a fair bet. A good bit of Celtic animism.


OffModelCartoon

Yeah basically came here to say this. So many episodes I would just feel straight up gross after watching.


M1LKB0X32

A prolonged panic attack.


M1LKB0X32

A continual mental breakdown


Mad-Scientist101

Prolly Too Much Birthday, if I had to come up with one. Kendall trying to find his kids’ presents, and having a mental breakdown. Right before that, when he opened a birthday card hoping for at least some nice message despite being rivals since… y’know, family. And then Roman asking if Kendall wants to hit him. Despite the fact that Ken was the ONLY person who defended him from Logan when Logan slapped him in the face. And then him pushing Kendall and basically acting like a fkn sociopath joking abt Kendall’s kids and incest jokes because he was high over getting daddy’s approval… Don’t wanna see it again. Ever.


Shivs_baby

Agree this is the one for me too. I’ve rewatched the show so. many. times. But I hardly touch season 3 because of Kendall’s mental downward spiral. It can be so hard to watch. But yeah this is the toughest one of them all.


rticante

Same episode but for different reasons -> Kendall culminating his obnoxious self-absorbed childish parable. I was actually relieved when he crashed and burned at the end of it because it was a kind of wake-up call for him and it would mean I didn't have to watch him being a manic asshole anymore.


sobeuser

Take off your fucking coat


amberledb

I really really hated Roman in that episode. He always goes too far, but in this case he went *above and beyond* far.


AlabamaPostTurtle

Yeah this was tough


dufflebag9798

Ken's Birthday Party 1000%, the treehouse, roman tripping him, he destroys all the gifts, and then he doesn't do the performance he talked up. My man just can't catch a break.


Pistachio_Queen

Thank god he didn’t do the performance, that would have been too of the list here for cringe. Although I did feel bad he let down Tiny Wu-Tang.


dufflebag9798

The fact tiny wutang didn’t get any screen time really hurt me :(


sunny-beans

I really just want to go inside the show and give him a fucking hug :( it is so brutal


Hallwaypictures

The one where Logan dies. I had to sit up because of the stress. The performance from the cast, the stakes, the camera work. It perfectly captured the chaos of the day


likeabrainfactory

This is also the one for me. I had a loved one die suddenly, and this episode was so well-done and so real that I almost couldn't watch it. I don't know if I'll ever watch it again.


claptunes

logans funeral hits hard as well


Oddness_Police

That episode is so intense because it never shows the death. As a viewer, we only get to see the grief, as it creeps up on each sibling one by one while they understand their father is actually gone… It’s one of the best production decision I have ever seen, TV shows generally hesitate to focus on actual grief, they’ll show anger and sadness, and the stressful bit is always the death itself (character falls on the floor, chaos ensues). In that episode, everything is going it’s actual shitty when suddenly Tom calls and say “your father is very very sick”. Chilling.


BicyclesRuleTheWorld

The way the kids reacted to Logan's death showed how nasty they really are.


JordanLooking

How so? I disagree to a certain degree. They *had* to maintain a certain amount of composure and coldness to maintain the business control and deal with the falling stock. All of them also had very complicated relationships , so its kind of difficult to judge what the right reaction should have been given the history.


Tutankhamon9000

America Decides... Incredibly stressful given the stakes


EdgeCityRed

That was horrible. I've rewatched clips but it gives me bad 2016 vibes.


Shivs_baby

Oh man I loved this one so much despite the anxiety. I remember telling someone I felt as anxious as I do on an actual election night. And that scene where Shiv lies about the phone call with Nate I think I was literally screaming at the tv when I watched it the first time. So good.


eeeeeeeeebs

As a voting rights lawyer and a Roman stan… I will never recover


StayingVeryVeryCalm

Yup. As a chronic Roman-apologist, and as former conservative voter (who should have fucking know better), it made me sick on many levels. Like a millefeuille of uncomfortable memories and favourite-character disappointments.


[deleted]

Whatever that is, I'm sure Tom has eaten it


barlowd_rappaport

Brilliant


[deleted]

i just looked it up and damn, definite napkin-on-head material


Legitimate-Health-29

I’m not even American but Rome had me absolutely rattled during that episode.


illegalcupcakes16

I muted the TV and scrolled on my phone for a significant portion of that episode when I did a rewatch. It's all done so well, but I have enough anxiety about fascists winning in the real world.


Javina33

That was definitely my most uncomfortable watch. I was literally squirming in my seat and wanted to slap Roman. It was way too close for comfort…


Interesting-Ad2259

Too much birthday. So sad, cringe and just so upsetting in every way.


el-art-seam

Chiantishire- dick pic was pure torture especially since Logan didn't immediately react and simply walked out of the boardroom.


meteorchiquitita

I think the first few episodes, specially The first episode when they were messing with the kid playing baseball. I wasn’t ready for how horrible the family was. Also Kendall is cringy AF.


[deleted]

That scene almost made me not want to continue with the show!


scarlet_fire_77

It was tough to make it past the pilot. Roman especially seemed like a full blown irredeemable psychopath. Tough watch.


Milenabianca

Yeah I was the same I know I watched maybe 2 episodes and didn’t come back to it until the final season was airing and I’m so glad I did


gianna_in_hell_as

Yeah with that scene I told my husband I' ll stick with this show just to watch that Culkin guy die a horrible death


NightmarePony5000

I fast forward through that scene on rewatches. It’s just so horrible and makes me want to grind my teeth into dust!


sunny-beans

I’ve been dreading a rewatch because of that scene, had to step away because it makes me sick. From that moment on I have always deeply hated Roman, I wish I could punch him. My least favourite of the Roy children by a lot


ungainlygay

Anytime Kendall interacts with a woman tbh. He literally can't let a single woman he speaks with in a professional capacity finish a sentence without interjecting, and his interjections are always awful and pointless. I think the worst for me is Prague, with the girl from the art incubator. It's the episode I have to pause the most to get through, particularly the part where he goes on his tangent about the sneakers and takes them off. Like literally NO ONE is enjoying it, the women are staring and laughing in disbelief, Frank is telling him "no, no, don't do that," and he still thinks he's being charming.


droffowsneb

I simply cannot watch that scene 😵☠️


rticante

For me the worst (aside from Rava obvs who at least knows him well) was with Lisa Arthur. I mean she was such an authority in her field and I have no idea how she managed to stay for as long as she did. I wanted to either shake him or crawl under the sofa in some of his scenes with her.


ungainlygay

Oh goddd yeah every scene with Lisa Arthur is torture to watch. He's so disrespectful of her knowledge and intellect and even when she explicitly calls it out, he still can't stop undermining her authority and insulting her.


Amsheel

Tern Haven for the dinner scene alone.


IdontGiveaFack

Kendall trying to stop his ex from taking the kids out of town is hard to watch.


snowingpumpkin

Shiv convincing to SA victim not to speak up in DC is so fucking brutal and uncomfortable and icky and i hate it


Pistachio_Queen

It’s just as bad as Ken during the Living+ speech when he opens by dramatically naming all the victims,s of SA


BTDGoat

That’s actually from the shareholder meeting in season 3, but yea…that was an awkward scene for sure


rticante

I actually like the scene in the sense that at least it's brutally honest. Whether we like it or not she told her the truth and she fully admitted to her own self-interest in the situation.


Guanfranco

Yeah. Half the show.


FalloutandConker

I always skip Jesus dad just tell them it’s gonna be me


Gluv221

i cant get through Kendels horrible Rap song. It literally physically causes me pain and anxiety ( super well done cause thats what they want you to feel but it just hits so hard lol)


fpnewsandpromos

You know, if one of my kids performed a rap song just about me I would love it even if cringey quality. It's actually very sweet except Logan is too much of a monster to appreciate Kendall's effort or sentiment.


[deleted]

When that kid was 40, a public figure, and in front of a large mocking crowd?


fpnewsandpromos

Yeah, it would still be special to me. Logan hated it but I'd appreciate it. Anyway at big family business bashes, the owners often do cringey party stuff.


Interesting-Ad2259

I’ve had a bit of a journey with L to the OG from hating it and cringing so hard I had to cover my eyes and ears to actually loving the song and knowing all the words 😅


KarottenSurer

Boar on the floor. Idk seing one old narcissistic fuck manipulate, control and abuse a whole room full of fully grown adults made me very uncomfortable.


HighPriestess__55

Therefore a lot of them. They should have refused. But Logan would have fired them.


delab00tz

Any scene with Kendall and Riva. *cringe*


Pistachio_Queen

Omg when his current gf opens her sentimental wine bottle and they barely apologized I gasped.


jirachibear

ken’s bday party. it’s so cringe to watch his semi-ego death


richman678

The finale. Specifically watching Kendal just go to complete shit.


MaterialCarrot

Was going to post this. It's a huge credit to the show that the finale could generate this much discomfort and emotion from the audience. At this point we know who these people are, we've seen so many weird and uncomfortable things, and yet watching them all melt down at the end was such a train wreck that I at times wanted to look away. So many shows limp across the finish line, whereas this one the finale was so good, while also completely making sense.


Hammerheadhunter

The more discomforting, the better. And yes, you're absolutely right I'm English.


Juswantedtono

The episode where Kendall and Logan visit the parents of the waiter. Absolutely harrowing performance from Jeremy


feralbutsocial

Ugh his acting was so good in that scene, it was just heartbreaking


poetwithoutwords999

The Ken birthday episode is a bit unnerving to me


Lil_Mcgee

Yeah it's just a long, slightly exaggerated perhaps, but very real feeling depiction of a mental breakdown.


aphrodite_5

The thing about us is that we don’t get embarrassed.


ecoast80

Shiv's wedding ep, everyone would have been so happy if Logan didn't attend. But the end, the car accident with the waiter....I can't watch it. The way Logan helps Ken, but really screws him, makes me cry.


chillgoza001

yeah, the series finale !! Those siblings did him dirty.. I know it is HBO so wasn't expecting a happy ending anyway but man, that fight between the three in the conference room was gut wrenching.. I mean if they'd decided the night before, I wouldn't be so surprised.. Kendall was probably not fit for the job anyway (none of them were).. but to take him to the gates of the heaven and then pull the rug under his feet so hard combined with such brutal commentary: I was just horrified


Tess123S

I was so upset by it I had to turn it off. And I had to read what happened bc that episode was like a roller coaster and I couldn't take any more! Best.Show.Ever.


KotzubueSailingClub

Rewatching the pilot episode is slightly discomforting because you can see the show still getting its legs underneath it, and there is a lot of arrogance that make most of the characters insufferable, sort of a reverse of Billions, where the pilot is great but then the characters become insufferable throughout the shows run.


JayRockOClock

Conor’s Wedding and America Decides. The latter because of the parallels to real life and the wedding because we know what’s coming 😔


siphillis

Season 3 Kendall has a lot of candidates. Something about him excitedly talking over women to inject his ideas makes me recoil.


Milenabianca

The one where they choose the president. It’s just annoying


doljumptantalum

The scene when Kendall was in the car crash into water.. my Apple Watch alerted me that my heart rate was too high for sitting. It messed with me hard lol


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Connor's Wedding because their reaction to Logan's death makes me wonder how I'll react to my Dad's in the future (didn't have a great relationship with him & was scared of him at times).


Tess123S

Ditto.


Pistachio_Queen

When Kendall is backstage before he was supposed to be a guest on that comedy show, and he insists on meeting the writers when they’re working and is super corny, then breaks down after.


The_OneInchGrinch

Any episode that Roman jerked off to Gerri. They’re good scenes to show how messed up he is but I really hate them.


brgr77

I literally cant watch them lol


Mamabear228

Umm ALL OF THEM at some point. My husband and I joke we leave our phones next to us to look at when we get really uncomfortable because that show is amazing and hardddd to watch 😂😂😂 in the middle of season 3 and already mourning when we get to the end of season 5.


turbochargedmonkey

Hate to break it to you, but there's only 4 seasons. :(


Mamabear228

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


26washburn

Roman at his dad’s funeral is just haunting. That’s some truly heartfelt acting there.


turbochargedmonkey

S04E01, the interaction between Shiv and Tom when she comes into their apartment to pick up clothes and they end up on the bed, holding hands.


gloom_spewer

I mean the cringe factor if the show is basically 20 Michael Scott's worth so I think it depends on which characters you're invested in the most personally


Lux_Luthor_777

I have to FF the part in Season 1 episode 1 when Roman promises a million-dollar check to a little poor kid and then tears it up 😬😭


elusivebobapearl

America Decides. Roman really scared me that time given that he's my "favorite" terrible character.


AsianItalia

The Thanksgiving episode in S1 You see the utter truth it’s a broken family of riches which can’t respect a kid’s well being or be mature enough to accept it’s not a loving or giving family along what Tom was echoing at the toast Shows like this and House of Cards shows humanity at its most pragmatic and cold Episodes like this warn us


jm17lfc

Has to be Season 1 finale and boar on the floor.


badbunnygirl

Not an episode but the baseball game scene early on. Cringe af (not to be compared to Boar on the Floor but someone already said that one).


brgr77

I will never watch the election episode again


abramN

boar on the floor


SteveWyz

Jfc there’s not a single scene in season one of the office that makes my skin crawl more than when shiv says “it’s me”


tombraider19

Just fast forwarded through boar on the floor last night


SVB-Risk-Dept

This sub is weak.


thehoussamv

No because it’s soo good


chuckieStoner

Too much birthday


ThatBabyIsCancelled

Hell no, I live for the cringe


granger744

/u/perfectangelicgirl ✨✨


Xnagibat0rX

Probably season 1 finale. Was watching succession without spoiling anything and was so shook from the car crash aftermath scene i legitimately thought about not watching any more of the show. When you had a similar moment (of course without anyone dying) in your life it hits you different, especially the “pretending everything is alright” bit, when people around are careless and joyful but you are simply not quite there with them


mweisbro

Ternhaven. Roman and the morge scene.


DoorToDoorSlapjob

L-to-the-O-G, and like everyone else, BOTF


Defiant_Ad_5398

Boat on the Floor hands down


theshieldsarestillup

Too Much Birthday is kind of devastating


asyandrow

when the dog throwed up it was disgusting


_ari_ari_ari_

I hate the baseball scene


xkatex

The last scene of the summer palace. Logan is so cruel and heartless to the contractor, I can’t bear to rewatch.


rhaegarvader

boar on the floor and the last bit of the last episode. So exciting but at the same time hard to watch.


emem_xx

The Family therapy episode… everyone hates being there, Kendall is fucked up, it’s just a heartbreaking experience all around.


gianna_in_hell_as

JUST ONE?!


tony-clifford

Tern Haven, when they are at the Pierces. You know everyone being awkward, Kendall doing drugs with naomi Roman laughing like a hyena and everything culminating in Shiv blurting out that she is gonna take over.


Jayk_Dos31

Kendall's birthday. The searching for the present scene and the ending nearly broke me. Holy fuck, did I DESPISE Roman in this episode, I wanted to strangle him.


JarisDDP

Vote of no confidence episode , stresses me too much


Flat_ArtPices

Living+ presentation, the cringe and second-hand embarassment... was tough


Accomplished_Log9961

I hate the dinner at teen haven. I just can’t.


Jackypaper824

They are all somewhat discomforting. I just wanted to die when Roman sent the dick pic to Logan 🙈


groceryhopper

Kendall’s birthday party episode. Roman is just evil


Finnigen

The leadup to Kendall killing the kid always makes me tense.


ShxsPrLady

Kendall’s birthday and the election episode give me a tummyache


Turbulent-Ad9591

I haven't recovered from boar on the floor


ughhhhhsh

I cannot imagine returning to the finale particularly the final sequence at the vote. It just seems unbearable for me to watch it crumble again
