If you thought the opening to Friends was awful and awkward without "I'll Be There for You" playing joyfully over the credits, then wait until you see this.

YouTube user Bill Smith has decided to make the Academy Awards a little bit more boring and much more uncomfortable than the actual broadcast by removing all of Neil Patrick Harris' jokes and most of the crowd reactions. So it's pretty much just celebs like Emma Stone, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Keaton and Oprah staring up awkwardly as the host says nothing and sometimes stands there in nothing but his underwear.

How long can you watch it without cringing at the video? We only made it 55 seconds in, and it was painful to make it that far.
