1. The Office

This episode of The Office sets the bar for the most gut-twisting, cringe-inducing moment in TV history. Michael Scott has made some terrible decisions in his life, but never before had he come short on such a monumental promise. This entire episode is difficult to watch from start to finish, and proves to us that Michael Scott is to awkward situations what Alfred Hitchcock was to the suspense genre: an unparalleled master whose contributions will be studied for years to come.
