• Danny Gokey's final note in his performance of "Dream On". Even he admits it.
• Pants On The Ground. You know something is up when Simon can't be heard over the other judges' laughter.
  • Of course, Pants On The Ground also PROVES the producers are deliberately monkeying with the screening process to ensure plenty of this kind of thing for the program. Pants was a BLATANT invocation of this Trope; the guy was 62 and should have been turned away at the door, but they let him through to the actual taped auditions. The only way in hell that could happen is if they planned this from the start...
  • Note that the guy was "General" Larry Platt, who is an activist and did a lot of work during the civil rights movement. He even had a day dedicated to him in Georgia.
  • Only topped by the remix with William Hung that was performed on the season finale. Link.

  • Before Pants on the Ground, there was I Am Your Brother.
• And then there's Nick Mitchell's (aka. Norman Gentle's) performance of And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going, essentially a deliberately campy, So Bad It's Good parody of the whole competition.
• Renaldo Lapuz's original song, "I Am Your Brother". Combined with his outfit... Then came the season finale, when he performed with a marching band...
• This.
• Steven Tyler is a walking, talking CMOF. "What's with the jujubees on your ooh-ooh-bies?"
  • And now there's a compilation.
• The Heejun Han VS. Richie "Cowboy" Law saga during season 11's Hollywood Week brought some of the best Cringe Comedy reality television has ever seen. The crowning moment has to be Heejun's "apology" to Richie.

Heejun: I'm really sorry... to... your parents...
