10 Kisses That Are Actually Worse Than TLC’s Virgin Diaries

TLC is known for its ridiculous reality shows, giving us some of our greatest guilty pleasures, like Toddlers in Tiaras and Sister Wives. Their latest attempt at groundbreaking documentary has gotten a lot of attention after the commercial for the special, Virgin Diaries, went viral. In the ad, two adult virgins kiss for the very first time on their wedding day, and let's just say it isn't pretty. The uncoordinated, aggressive kisses of the bride and groom will make you wince, but they aren't alone in their uncomfortable smooches. These other lip-locks from movies and TV shows are even more awkward.

  1. Jim Carrey's daydream in Dumb and Dumber

    This is what we imagine the kiss in the Virgin Diaries feels like. Jim Carrey plays Lloyd Christmas, a naive guy with a low IQ who just doesn't understand the ways of the world. Even as he imagines kissing the woman he's got his eye on, his idea of romance is far from the sexy thoughts normal people get lost in. He engulfs her mouth with his, basically suffocating her, as she flails her arms romantically. To top it off, they both make passionate groans as they perform this awkward kissing dance.

  2. Elizabeth Banks' lip-biter in The 40-Year-Old Virgin

    Kisses are especially awkward when one person is really into it and the other isn't even moving his lips. Following a similar premise (in a much raunchier way) as TLC's show, The 40-Year-Old Virgin looks at the plight of a man, played by Steve Carell, who has gone his whole life without sex. He goes home with Elizabeth Banks' character for a good time, but he is in over his head with her. She kisses him as he just stands there uncomfortably, then bites his lip, pulling it much farther than any human lip should go. He's lucky it didn't get stuck that way.

     

     

  3. Human kissing monkey in Planet of the Apes

    As horrifying as it is to watch two humans make out who don't know how to suck face, it's even more bizarre to see members of different species locking lips. The kiss in Planet of the Apes occurs as some of the ape people are helping the humans escape, and the man asks an ape woman if he can kiss her goodbye. Her infamous reply is one that most women wish they were gutsy enough to say to particularly annoying guys: "Alright, but you're so damned ugly." Then they share an uncomfortable tight-lipped primate peck — as her fiance watches.

     

     

  4. Boy kisses father in Transamerica

    If there's anything that's going to screw a teenage boy up forever, it's going in for a kiss with a woman who is actually your transgender father. Luckily, this kid was already pretty screwed up to begin with. In this film, Bree, a former man who is about to undergo sex reassignment surgery (played by a woman, oddly enough), is contacted by her son that she had never met. She doesn't let on that she's actually his father, and as she drives him to Los Angeles, he falls in love with her, unaware that she's his father, but knowing that she's transsexual. It's all very confusing, and the lip-lock they share only complicates matters for everyone, the audience included.

  5. Anna Faris' face-licking in Just Friends

    Just Friends is full of moments that make the audience squirm. Anna Faris and Ryan Reynolds share a really gross kiss toward the beginning of the film, where she runs up to him and basically licks inside his mouth and all around it. Hopefully they got it down in just a couple of takes and didn't have to keep filming it over and over. Another situation that doesn't involve a kiss, but is equally uncomfortable, is when Ryan Reynolds' and Amy Smart's characters go in for a hug and end up doing an awkward bounce.

  6. The upside-down kiss in Spiderman

    Admit it: you've tried this kiss. Peter Parker's hanging upside-down from one of his Spidey webs and MJ takes off enough of his mask to have a kinky kiss. But if you've tried it, you know it's really not all that great or exciting. In fact, it's mostly just awkward as you relearn how to kiss from this bizarre angle. Watching it's not so fun either, since it looks like she's making out with an animated chin.

  7. Marty McFly kisses his mom in Back to the Future

    We all saw this scene coming. Lorraine had been making advances at Marty the whole movie, not knowing that he's her son from the future. When they get into the parked car, you know things are about to get real. Lorraine goes in for the kiss as the viewers cringe, and she quickly realizes how strange it is. The smooch itself isn't terrible to watch, but just knowing they're related and seeing the discomfort spread on their faces ups the yuck factor. Just another reason not to mess with the space-time continuum.

  8. Rogue's power-sucking smooch in X2

    Life as a teenage mutant is tough, especially when your superpower is the ability to suck away others' powers through physical touch. That can make those hormone-filled adolescent years pretty tricky. When Rogue gets her boyfriend, Iceman, alone, she sees how much this ability interferes with her love life. She and Iceman give in to their passion and share a kiss, but Iceman suddenly feels the life force being sucked out of him by his girlfriend. That'll kill the mood faster than seeing a photo of your grandma.

  9. Bill's Seven Minutes in Heaven in Freaks and Geeks

    Freaks and Geeks was a brilliant TV show about the ups and downs of not fitting in during high school. One of the geekiest geeks was Bill Haverchuck, a good-hearted mouth breather with enormous glasses and teeth made for head gear. When he ended up in a closet with one of the popular girls at school for Seven Minutes in Heaven, it's painfully awkward at first as she talks about how gross he is. Then by some miracle, they end up making out. The combination is so weird, and Bill is so bad at kissing, though, that the whole thing will make you want to cover your eyes.

  10. The kissing family on Saturday Night Live

    Some of these other films have been uncomfortable because someone unknowingly kissed a member of their family, but SNL just went ahead and put it out there: an over-affectionate family that purposely kisses all the time. While the brothers smooching on the lips and the dad kissing the mom on the eyelid are uncomfortable enough, the most awkward kiss award goes to the one between Fred Armisen, who plays the father, and Andy Samberg, who plays the son's roommate. In fact, it can hardly be classified as a kiss. They basically just open their mouths as wide as they can and ram them into each others' faces. You may be turned off ofthe whole idea of making out after seeing this one.
