The Scene

Pretty much any moment where a Native American character is treated disrespectfully, such as Adam Sandler's wife Jackie playing a character called "Never Wears Bra", while another is derisively called "Beaver Breath."

The Awkwardness

Shortly before The Ridiculous Six hit Netflix, reports emerged of on-set difficulties with the movie's Native American performers, several of whom ended up walking off the set after taking umbrage with the film's insensitive, arguably racist depiction of their people.

Nothing quite spells out awkward like working for one of the most powerful and successful actors in Hollywood while he's basically insulting your culture to your face.

After Sandler attempted to smooth things over with the remaining native cast members, the rest of the production reportedly went off without a hitch, and the controversy was ultimately forgotten about rather quickly. Still, cringe.
