People are sharing their awkward cringy interactions as part of a new TikTok Trend - and it involves the sitcom BoJack Horseman...

A clip from the Netflix show about the humanoid horse has become a popular sound for users to recall the times they wanted the ground to swallow them up due to their embarrassment.

The scene used is from season one episode five called "Live Fast, Diane Nguyen" where he has a conversation with his friend Diane (who is the wife of his rival and humanoid golden retriever) Mr Peanutbutter.

He cracks a joke about a phone call Diane recently made, to which she bluntly responds with the news that her dad passed away - a cringe-inducing moment.

The particular part of the scene that was used for the TikTok sound began with Bojack who said: “What’s that, the library thanking you for never returning a book late?”

That's when Diane replied, “That was my brother Tommy, my dad just died," to which Bojack simply said "Oh my God" in response.
