2017’s Weirdest and Most Insane Scenes From TV Shows

Television does a lot of things. It makes us laugh, cry, and provokes arguments when you move ahead in a season before your watching partner catches up. But sometimes, TV surprises us. Or even shocks us.

And in 2017, TV WTF scenes produced images that sear in our brain forever. So here are the 2017 TV WTF scenes that made us stand up and shout: “Wha?!” WARNING: Spoilers ahead.

House Of Cards – Lovers’ Quarrel

Now that Kevin Spacey is out of the picture, we can relish this diabolical twist from Robin Wright and hope there’s more to come in the show’s last season.

Claire Underwood dispatches with a potential rival by transmitting poison to him while they’re in the middle of having sex. I mean, just, damn.

MST3K: The Return – UFO Song

How can you reinvent the making-fun-of-bad-movies wheel? That’s the issue facing the reboot of Mystery Science Theater 3000, but in the episode “Starcrash,” the new cast blew our minds with an out-of-nowhere Beach Boys-esque tune accompanying a chunk of the film. It’s hysterical and wholly original.

The Walking Dead – Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright

For its seventh season, The Walking Dead invented a new storytelling trope we like to call Chekhov’s Tiger: If you introduce a tiger in the first episode, it better attack by the last.

And attack it did, raising Hell on some Walkers that actually made us feel sorry for flesh-eating monsters.

Broad City – Magic Mushrooms

The women of Broad City haven’t hidden their love of illicit substances. But in this season four episode, a trip on some potent mushrooms becomes animated, giving artists a chance to flex their psychotropic muscles.

Our favorite bizarre moment: a sojourn to France, featuring a wine-drinking moon.
