We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the most problematic movie and TV show moments, and unfortunately, they had many to contribute.

So, here are some of the most horrific movie/TV show moments that aged like milk:

On Frasier (1993-2004), when actor Jane Leeves got pregnant and instead of writing it into the show, they poked fun at her "fatness" and "large weight":

NBC

"I never liked the 'fat Daphne' storyline. Jane Leeves was pregnant in real life, and in the series, she and Niles had already gotten together, so it would've been an interesting storyline for her to be pregnant. Instead, they sent her away to 'fat camp' when Leeves was on maternity leave."

"Yeah — I hated that, too. Jane Leeves is gorgeous at any size. Also, I didn’t care for the way they painted Roz as a 'slut' (just because she liked sex and dated a lot of guys)."

During the early seasons of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990, 1991, and 1992), when Will was in high school and he dated women over the age of 18 like it was completely "normal" and acceptable:

NBC

"I've been rewatching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and I noticed that Will is a high school sophomore going on dates with grown women — and [Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv don't] say anything!"

In Empire Records (1995), when a veryyyyyy old Rex Manning preyed on high school student Corey, and insisted/insinuated she give him a blow job in an office:

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Empire Records was so hot when it came out, but now...OMG. Rex Manning is gross, and not in a dastardly-antagonist way — he's legitimately predatory. I don't think they handled it well."

On Sex and the City (1998-2004), when Carrie complained to the girls about her gold engagement ring from Aidan, and stated she only wore "ghetto gold" jewelry for "fun":

HBO

Yes, Sex and the City's reboot And Just Like That... is trying to right all of the wrongs from the original series (and movies), but the original series is hard to forget about. It was full of mindless language, characters, and situations that people are still offended and impacted by today.

On The L Word (2004-2009), when Kit called Max out for wanting to transition, and essentially shamed him because it "saddened her that so many strong, butch girls are giving up their womanhood to be a man":

Showtime

They totally mishandled Max's transgender storyline on The L Word, and dismissed the transitioning experience. Even though actor Daniel Sea recently revealed to IndieWire how The L Word: Generation Q tried to repair Max's original storyline, it's still pretty awful and did not age well.

On The IT Crowd (2006-2013), when Douglas was happily dating April, and then all of a sudden was immediately turned off when she revealed she "used to be a man" (poking fun at the transgender experience):

Channel 4

"The subplot with Douglas and April in 'The Speech' episode is horribly anti-trans. There’s no payoff that makes this worth it (not that it’s in-character for him to 'accept' this, but still)."

At the end of Police Academy (1984), when Cadet Carey totally crossed the line and harassed Cadet Karen while she was in the beginning stages of training:

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Police Academy — [Cadet Carey] Mahoney making fun of a guy with a toupee, so many racist recruits, the leather bar scene, the guy with five girlfriends who just needed a woman to top him and get him in line. I probably forgot some — that movie would never get made today."

In Almost Famous (2000), when Penny Lane was clearly seconds away from having an overdose after drinking and taking drugs, and William still kissed her:

DreamWorks Pictures

I've loved Almost Famous since I was in middle school, but after rewatching it recently, I can't help but be disturbed by a few scenes (this one especially). We're encouraged to root for Will because he "finally" admitted his love to Penny, but she was unconscious. She was literally about to overdose, and he KISSED HER ANYWAY. What made him think that was okay to do?! Absolutely not.

On The Brady Bunch (1969-1974), when the entire Brady family was totally mindless and mistreated a Native American family with horrible stereotypes (like Bobby introducing himself to a young boy by saying: "How"):

ABC

Unfortunately, there are many insulting episodes from The Brady Bunch about Native American culture to choose from. Like this one, where Bobby leans into stereotypes of their language, and how to approach having a conversation with them — it's sooooo cringeworthy to watch in 2026.
