10 Most Paused Moments In Horror TV Shows

10. Supernatural - Days Of Our Lives (S6 Ep15 The French Mistake)

Supernatural has always been full of Easter Eggs and inside jokes, with the actors never afraid to poke fun at themselves. This was especially evident in the episode The French Mistake, where Balthazar sent Sam and Dean to an alternative universe to protect them from Balthazar's hitman.

The meta episode sees the brothers as stars of a TV show called Supernatural, and they appear as actors named Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. Castiel is a Twitter-obsessed Micha Collins, and as in real life, Sam is married to Ruby (Genevieve Cortese). The story is incredibly entertaining to watch as we see Jared and Jensen act as Sam and Dean pretending to be Jared and Jensen acting as Sam and Dean (did you follow that?)

One of the most amusing moments in the episode, and worth pausing to appreciate fully, is when Dean finds out that Jensen appeared in the cheesy soap opera Days of our Lives (as he did in real life), and Sam pulls up an embarrassing shot from the show, when Jensen was looking decidedly less like the handsome capable hunter we know so well.
