Top 20 Uncomfy Glee Performances

All clips belong to Fox.
Some of these are only uncomfy in context. Some of them were perfectly crafted by Ryan Murphy to make you want to puke. Whether on purpose or not, these songs make me very uncomfortable, and I hope they make you feel the same way 😁

He would have been dismissed. Ohio & other Midwestern states don’t put up with this. Hell, he probably would have been required to show admin song list, but then most of these were supposed to be dream.

Seriously, if Sue would've reported half his antics he should've been fired. So should Sue, but for very different reasons.

[@LarrySonOfMilton]

they did her so dirty

[@novaember4572]

I feel like the only solution would’ve been to never do Gangnam style in the first place. If they had not given it to Tina people would’ve been mad, when they did give it to Tina people were mad, there was no good solution besides not doing it.

I think it's because it's taken out of context... Some it's just will trying to motivate the kids. Some are him and other adults... Okay some are very weird but it played like a bonding time... It was singing show nothing made much sense but it was a good time

[@twb6yz361]

Toucha Toucha Touch Me definitely needs to be much higher. It was bad enough that Will pawed at Emma's chest the way it happened in Rocky Horror (not shown). But what made it really over the top creepy was the realization that Emma was only helping Will practice the role. The actual person in the role was Rachel and the thought that in the play he was supposed to be pawing at an underage Rachel's chest on stage in front of everyone was waaaaay too creepy.

[@mj_mj_mj]

Yes!! Like Emma actually sang the song really well but why Mr Schue gave himself that role is so confusing to me. Was he trying to get arrested?

[@ellagoreyshorrorstories7524]

Let's not forget Emma writhing on her back while STUDENTS did the lean over and sing "Creature of the Night" part. Finn, Brittany, Santana, and Kurt...

​@Noe Hrdez it really helps to remember that irl Matthew was their friend only a few years older than them, he's only like three years older than Harry and Cory. Without that knowledge these scenes are unwatchable tho 😅

[@swissgoat4981]

Never watched Glee, but is that a teacher constantly having romantic or sexual songs, many of which include characters that are meant to minors? Also, who thought What Does the Fox Say was a good idea to cover? Same with Blured Lines and much of this list.

[@mushruem]

as a gleek…yes. and AGREED.

[@flyaway1]

To the first question: Yes, but no??

[@zentryii]

Pretty much all of them were minors (the characters). Will Shue was just too creepy for no reason.

[@sweetyalex99]

The show is a satire, it's supposed to be cringe

[@pcbassoon3892]

A lot of them are from a single episode where a student has a crush on him and he keeps trying to put her off and she keeps wanting to sing romantic duets. And the redhead is another teacher with whom he had a Sam and Diane thing.

It's funny how many of these performances are Will Schuster...He was VERY inappropriate as a teacher. That said, can we take a moment to appreciate just HOW GOOD a performer Matthew Morrison is?

[@miahanekom2781]

after rewatching this video and hours and hours of research, I have need able to conclude that mr schuester is the reason for most of the uncomfortable songs. some statistics: around 60% of his uncomfy songs contain rapping; 20% are weird dancing with his students; 15% he has forced his students to sing or joins in with them; and finally the last 5% are every other time he sings a really cringey song and when people are in love with him. conclusion: he needs to be stopped!!!

We appreciate your thorough research! The stats you listed seem pretty on point 👌

Quite a lot of these are supposed to make you uncomfortable. That's why I like Glee, their musical numbers aren't just bangers, sometimes they're cringingly funny, and most of the times we're cringing with the show and not at the show Also who thought it was a good idea to tell Matthew Morrison, a Broadway legend, to rap. Matthew has an angelic voice that's best suited for ballads or anything else that's soulful

[@cringearoni5]

I think an uncomfortable one for me is Tina’s “I don’t know how to love him”. It wasn’t that it was a bad performance or anything but it was just cringey bc everyone was just like “oh this is about Blaine” and Blaine had absolutely no clue, not to mention that the scene where she performed the song was uncomfortably long.

How I see it (the song choices are fine, it's how it was performed): 20) Classic song, but definitely crosses a line somewhere... 19) More a novelty than anything... 18) This really took the mickey... 17) Again, another novelty... 16) Not a great performance by any stretch... 15) "Rocky Horror" really crossed the line of acceptability... 14) This song carries an important message (great songs otherwise)... 13) Yes, totally agree. That rapping is so cringeworthy... 12) Fair enough... 11) Fair enough... (the full recording of the song exists)... 10) This song really sucks... 9) Again, this crosses a line... 8) Again, classic song... 7) Fair enough... Again, it's the rapping... 6) Again, crosses the line... 5) Again, such a mickey take (classic song otherwise)... 4) Again, it's the rapping (classic song again)... 3) You've got to be serious... 2) Seriously? 1) Oh for goodness sake... (the song sucks in any case)...
