[@LaurelRawson]

How did Mr Shue singing Blurred Lines and provocatively dancing through the school not make this list?

[@loonybinreject]

Yes! This and instead of forget you they should have used singing wanna be in my gang in leather jackets like Gary glitter who is a sex offender

[@jessicacarter9988]

I was like what is going on

[@PrinceTrexus]

And then suspending Marley because she refused to twerk like wtf!?

[@bennymora3086]

And Mr. Shue is seriously that song to STUDENTS!🤦🏻‍♂️

[@chevingladden5146]

When Emma sang to Will (toucha toucha toucha me) she wasn't engaged to him. She was involved with Carl the Dentist, who would become her 1st husband.

[@user-cr9wb6gx2g]

This fact makes that number that much worse

[@19jacinta88]

Tina and the vaporub, oh dear. The amount of in-depth articles written on Tumblr about that scene and why it was wrong by people far more emotionally intelligent than the Glee show writers is astounding.

[@pushon10]

what is the context for it?

[@19jacinta88]

@@pushon10 Tina had a crush on Blaine and him being gay didn’t reciprocate. He got sick and while passed out she made use of the vaporub.

[@elvisbenoist]

run joey run is PERFECTION

[@breanainn28]

I'm not ashamed to say I love "Let's Have a Kiki/Turkey Lurkey" as well as "I Still Believe/Super Bass." The latter is just so obnoxious it's good and the former has Sarah Jessica Parker and drag queens w/ RPDR alumni Shangela. I will joyously sing these songs all day long.

[@jessicacarter9988]

Same

[@esm82ify]

Also...SJP didn't just randomly show up at their Friendsgiving, she was invited because she's Kurt's boss and he thinks she's awesome

[@jegmex06]

I love Let’s have a Kiki/turkey lurkey time!!!!

[@grahamellis3547]

Sue singing Super Bass is iconic idk what you’re on MsMojo Sue ate and left no crumbs and I will die on this hill

[@lukehartman7572]

Exactly 💯

[@DeeM4rie]

Most of these aren’t that bad imo. Especially when you’re watching it in context to the episode it’s in. The show didn’t take itself too seriously and that’s what made some of these performances better.

[@KyleWillLivingston]

Yeah.

[@kreativekollective5284]

Yup

[@jeremysullivan5844]

I dont understand the hate for the thong song on glee and will rapping, I can rewatch it over and over again

[@KyleWillLivingston]

Same

[@rockabillymuffin]

i adore the glee version of touch a touch touch me apart from the weird end :D

[@w-vb1em]

🌷❣️🌷❣️🌷❣️🌷❣️🌷🌺🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🍁💐🌺💐🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐❣️😀❣️🌷❣️

[@luhguren]

Glee had tons of issues and some freaky shit happening on and off screen, sure, but damnit if the chaotic nature of the show makes it so damn watchable? (even if many times is just hate watching haha) And damn hell the cast could fucking SING!

[@falkon8913]

Having my baby is a classic though. I liked that song, especially when i found out my wife was pregnant.

[@jegmex06]

I will not allow the hatred for Let’s have a Kiki/Turkey Lurkey time! It’s a bop!!!!!

[@cameronjr8]

Please do Top 10 Underrated Musical shows. That is if they already have it.

[@Firepuma27]

Glee predicted that Funny Girl would get a Broadway reboot and that a Glee star would play Fanny Brice. I first saw Rocky Horror Picture show on Coming Out Day and it took all my will power to not sing Touch a Touch a Touch me while doing my internship that Monday.

[@scottibrown3274]

There is one episode in Season 4, Britney 2.0 I think it’s called, while Marley, Tina, and Unique sing and dance to the song “Womanizer”, at one point they are in the school’s gym and at one point, Mr. Schue walks in and just stands there watching them

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Even though i don't watch Glee, this was a great top. Happy thursday morning, Phoebe. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@sonokoroxs]

Lol i remember watching the first episode and being excited because it came out on my birthday when i was in 9th grade. Looking at this i cant believe i used to love this show 😅😂

[@Denis-89]

But isn't this "hate watch" just the guilty pleasure we all watched Glee for?

[@charlielobos8928]

The absolutely infamous performance of The Fox had to be in the actual list. Every Glee member ‘til this day remembers that scene with disgust

[@eduardorios5549]

I felt for Kevin McHale in that moment. He legit looked like he was gonna snap.

[@casckettfriki]

I actually like the I Stil Believe/Super Bass mash up. The video not that much, but the song yes.

[@nickyg7557]

4:35 Do ya wanna touch me was way way worse 😂

[@jonathanfitzharris4196]

Run Joey Run was amazing. They picked a bad but oddly catchy song(as was the point in the ep), did the video exactly how it was supposed to and was a show highlight This list had a mix of cringe and just fun. So was a bit inconsistent

[@froshnel]

I legit LOVED the super bass cover T-T

[@RobulousDee]

I still remember when I first watched Let's Have a Kiki, because at that point in time, it was the worst thing that had ever happened to me.

[@ReynaReactsandReviews]

Love the background music

[@xXElliellieBellXx]

Yet again… THE LACK OF TASTE. SUPER BASS IS AN ICONIC MOMENT

[@katharinesaltonstall7414]

If Blaine’s I still believe was on its own it would have actually been a good scene

[@MegaGreeeeeen]

I haven't laughed this hard in a while omg so unhinged so funny so cringe YISUS 😅😂😂😂😂

[@charlotte241000]

I like all of these

[@MrGleeiscool]

Watching. This list : 🎉😂❤😢 gleek here and. I will reboot glee when I’m 70

[@geronkyle]

The Super Bass performance will always be iconic for all the wrong reasons.

[@glowormrdr6183]

I never blamed the writers for cranking out any level of drama or crazy they could come up with, because that was the whole point, and it had to include music numbers, music numbers, music numbers. That job must have been incredibly difficult and exhausting. I enjoyed even the worst of it, so no harm no foul.

[@wojtek1765]

Any singing with Rachel

[@DaisieBoi]

Am I the only one That likes super bass/ I still believe I love the ending with the vocals mixing together 🤣

[@kallistoindrani5689]

I love let's have a Kiki because it's so weird! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@athaliehunte4349]

I love every single scene from glee

[@mariotadeo_]

How can you see Forget You is embarrassing or that we hated watching it? It’s literally one of the best performances on the whole show

[@melissahabeth7940]

am I actually the only one who doesnt find Mr Shue creepy and loves most of his songs ? dayum

[@RadityaPramanaPutra2001]

Although I'm not Glee's fans + don't remember how much Glee's episode that I watch, I watch this video because of multiple reasons, the one of is because my Dad loves Glee. Edit: In "Honorable Mentions", Glee's version of Gangnam Style is unexpected and made my mood. 09/11/2023 23:19 At My Local Time.

[@valeriaalvarezherrera]

Necesito este vídeo con subtítulos en español

[@MarcioDAstrain]

I fucking love LET'S HAVE A KIKI. SJP ate so hard.

[@HopeJLK]

Where was the nun outfit? I don’t remember the song, I don’t even remember who sang it but I have the image of a sexy nun and a priest seared onto my brain all these years later.

[@blugreen123]

Where's "Blurred Lines?!"

[@fangwulf]

. . . I kinda loved Let's Have a Kiki mashup...

[@cyrusdemetrius3354]

There’s a lot more but I agree most of them are from season one and five

[@andreasmeelie1889]

While I do agree that the You’re Having My Baby scene is extremely wrong, awkward, and funny. The song alone is awfully sweet. I only have seen one season of Glee which was the third season so I never even knew about how Finn reveals out loud about Quinn’s pregnancy towards her parents. But, I did own the CD that involves that song and always knew it was towards Quinn and found it awfully sweet. I had some people tell me about how Finn was fooled by Quinn but didn’t know the parents part. I always found the song alone to be awfully sweet like how often is it when the boyfriend actually accepts the baby instead of not accepting the baby? So to actually hear that the song is on the Worst Lists just feels so highly unfair on its own. Episode wise I can perfectly understand but song wise I can’t and it breaks my heart completely.😞

[@HFXmermaid]

All of this is so cringey it gives me the bad chills lol nails on a chalk board chills

[@vicious.but.romantic]

Why did I think it's a good idea to watch this with my lunch? That thong song will forever ruin my appetite now.

[@rkturty]

Bro how does Forget You make this list?

[@Ancolyrica]

Okay I am actually personally not agree with the whole list, some of them I actually LOVE to watch and not hate to watch the slightest. 10. Poker Face Duet - okay agree, vocally amazing arranged but from million songs to choose for a Mother/Daughter duet… that in truth wasn’t it. 9. Kinda like it, but als Santana and Brittany watching? Phew. But Emma fits the Rocky Horror Character here and she sounds great in this, but everything else and also Will in this whole episode OH BOY. agree. 8. Thanks god we got the Unholy Trinity Tango version later. I mean without Schuester that would have been quite a gut performance tho. Agree here too. 7. Don’t agree here. Especially as a performance it’s not that sexual but really packaged in a fun way to set them all free. Actually snobby Rachel is the only thing I hate to watch here, you want to slap her for her behaviour here ngl. 6. completely disagree. It is totally over the top BUT SO DAMN in-character for Rachel and perfectly timed. Also it created a meme within the show itself. 5. Agree, agree, agree. Especially with Wills wild dancing, like what? 4. Agree. And doesn’t he even got help from Kurt for it, that at this time still wanted Finn for him? Honestly I am not sure if he actually had his influence in the choice which would make this even more cruel. 3. I mean many rap songs are sexual or harsh or problematic or whatever. And I honestly think in some raps Schuester sounds pretty good and I like the vibe (like with Holly and Forget you), but sometimes it was also so inappropriate. 2. No, No, NONONONONO. Here is nothing to hate about, at least no more. This is absolute iconic performance here, also representing Shangela in here too, peak. HM: Twerking agree. What does the fox say…no just take the whole puppet episode honestly, one of the worst overall ngl. Gangnam Style: the objectively messiest and worst performance in the whole show imo and that’s even in a competition… my most hated glee Moment personally. Vapor rub scene… yeah, kind of accepted sexual assault there but post season three Tina sadly was a walking disaster anyway. And endless love IS hard to watch but probably on of the very few times where Schuester acted kinda appropriately towards a student of his, by rejecting her and feeling uncomfortable himself. 1. I kinda agree, but it also was kinda Sue and it feels kinda iconic? I think actually her behaviour in this outfit outside of the song with the weird „impersonation“ stuff is way harder too watch and actual cringe. Kinda feel that Schuesters behaviour toward Marley in general, but especially after Applause performance and her whole Eating Disorder thing was very badly handled on glee and I always hate to watch everything about it and kinda should be on the list here despite not being just one scene.

[@ettiennemalan8487]

I usually agree with 50% of whatever you post, this is the 1st time I disagree 100% with you

[@ariellebotwinick1537]

Is that Shangela in “Let’s Have A Kiki?”

[@kimbellern]

Yes!

[@gracebleekman2557]

Glee does annoy me but I kind of like it. My friend is starting to watch Glee for the first time and she’s seeing all the cringy moments. I don’t like the Rocky Horror Glee Show but that can just be my opinion.

[@eduardorios5549]

As a fan of Rocky Horror, the Glee version was atrocious in every sense of the word. Talk about not delivering

[@ellieevans2218]

All above endless love with a teacher and a student it's not how you treat someone you just learn it from someone that can change your life with its like kdrama of when a teacher lives next door to a student they always see each other a lot and they always hang out i mean why is that exactly

[@petabulmer3317]

You forgot to mention the revolting version they did of Van Halen's "Jump".

[@theschipronouncedassky9142]

This show gave me grooming vibes and that's one of the reasons I wasn't a fan. But the girl that plays as Britney is very underrated for her talent.

[@BAMOORE94]

Emma wasn’t Will’s finance at the time of toucha touch me. She was with Carl. I think she was married to him

[@mohamedgermanotta]

How in the blurred lines is not number on this list ?? That performance was cringy and disturbing

[@madampluto3092]

Because it's so disturbing that no one even wants to hate watch it.

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

P.S. ✒️ The Entire Series

[@ROBYNMARKOW]

OT I know but Lea Michele & Idina Mendel look incredibly similar to each-other!

[@marieangels6]

Toucha toucha is actually worse cuz she wasn't his fiancé then. She was engaged to someone else. A dentist named Carl played by John Stamos.

[@falkon8913]

I hated Mr. Shue throughout the show. I couldn't stand him. I mostly hated when he was rapping it was cringe and boring.

[@eduardorios5549]

What idiot thought it was a good idea for a white boy to do the rapping anyway?????

[@DANNYTHEFROG123]

Number 1 is my favorite to hate watch

[@torranceporter6154]

Why isn’t Roar on this list???

[@kimbellern]

I hated poker face. Love the real song but 🙄

[@scottsummers4234]

Any Will Schuester scene is cringeworthy

[@bennymora3086]

Sometimes I question myself of why I even watched this show🤔🤨

[@Nayasmih]

Shangela??

[@angelasieg5099]

Gold digger is my least favorite but you left put push it

[@faithjacqueline3351]

Msmojo always be getting the facts wrong. Will and Emma weren’t engaged while The rocky horror picture show episode. She was with someone else. Seems like a small mistake but y’all be constantly making mistakes when it comes to characters and the shows and movies. Mistakes can be easily forgiven, but when your whole channel is based off of facts and knowledge about media….it becomes rather embarrassing. Do better.

[@robbiescheid4127]

Yes Glee had so many mess-ups But Glee was a great show for its time like Sex and the City did so many things right but a few things wrong without glee we wouldn't have had Riverdale a much better written version of it I'm glad they made Riverdale into a musical because I already thought it was like Glee with better writing Gleek for life

[@Deadly_87]

I think the whole show is a hate watch now i go back and think about it...

[@yoongistongue4163]

I think it's hard to blame a show for provocative lyrics of the songs teenagers around the world sing either way

[@nessenessekim1038]

the period when schuester was in a weirdo band and they used puck to attract young ladies

[@sobphie]

murdered my favourite character and for what? to make her predatory towards her gay bestie smh

[@andrewl4908]

The hill I will die on is that I think Mr. Shoe should have ended up Holly Holiday

[@ilb473]

I don't know, I think it wouldn't work for long

[@roypalmer69]

Ummm.... Emma and will were not dating during that song for rocky horror...... she was dating carl the dentist making it more inappropriate

[@prometheustv6558]

Looking back at this show you realize how poorly written even the better seasons were.

[@jenssong117]

I actually like the Poker Face Duet.

[@jamalvargas6146]

If Were To Remove Several TV Shows From Existence are Glee, Jersey Shore, Big Mouth, Ugly Betty, and Two and a Half Men

[@cliffcorson4000]

100% of the show was trash

[@user-zu7ig5wz9v]

I hate glee it is the worst usa show of all time

[@jalenwoolfolk]

This is truly unforgettable, well done!💞
