11. Elijah And Dill – Girls
If sex scenes aren’t hilarious, they should seek to be as authentic and realistic as possible, no matter how awkward or gross or unflattering. TV hasn’t quite caught up on that whole message, but Girls did score one for progress with the awkward and occasionally hilarious scene between Elijah (Andrew Rannells) and Dill Harcourt (Corey Stoll) in last year’s episode 4.
It’s biggest selling point was its authenticity, a strangely historical face to face scene between men that didn’t flinch from the reality or replace the realness with animal passion. And thanks to Dill being the bottom, unexpectedly, but remaining a dominant character, we got this strange dynamic where he was in the driving seat without actually driving.
He shouted, Elijah apologised, almost crumpling under the stress in one of the most delightfully awkward sex scenes of the year.
