English term or phrase: embrace the awkwardness
Refers to an episode of Sheldon where he embraces someone in a socially distanced - awkward - way.

embrace the awkwardness (addressed to the viewers)

Doesn't work in German at all :-( I need to come up with a free translation.
I guess the meaning is somehting like "enjoy the awkwardness of the Sheldon shows"

Any ideas???

Zelebriere/Genieße die Peinlichkeit


Explanation:
Oder auch "Erfreu dich an der Peinlichkeit".

"Unbeholfenheit" könnte auch passen, das kommt dann auf den Kontext an.

Je nach Zielpublikum könnte auch "Feier die Peinlichkeit" passen. https://www.bedeutungonline.de/was-bedeutet-ich-feier-das-be...
