If you're anything like us, you regularly find yourself in awkward situations. Your face starts burning, you swallow hard, your pulse races, your mouth begins spewing verbal diarrhea and before you know it, you've made the moment even more uncomfortable. Lucky for you, the MTV Clutch staff has years of combined experience in digging ourselves into embarassing holes and have learned a thing or two about avoiding it. While awkward moments are destined to occur, you can always come through squeaky clean as long as you keep your head. Below are three fool-proof escape plans for getting yourself out of these strange moments. To make things even easier for you, we've designed easy-t0-follow animated GIFs for study aids. Execute wisely and be safe out there.

Situation #1:

You and your best friend are watching the game. You both stretch at the same time and begin to rest your arms on the back of the couch to get comfortable. Before you know it, your arms are around each other.

Sa da tay! Comedian/writer/director Louis C.K. just announced that his forgotten first feature film "Tomorrow Night" will be available soon for purchase on his website. Despite featuring the likes of  Todd Barry, J.B. Smoove and Steve Carell, the dark comedy has flown under the radar of even the most hardcore comedy nerds since its release in 1998 due to lack of distribution. Lucky for us, Louis is now excited about selling his work online after his "Live at the Beacon Theater" sold well.

Perhaps "Tomorrow Night" will join Louis C.K.'s other feature film "Pootie Tang" as a cult hit. Its release in 2001 was anti-climatic, but "Tang" has gone on to develop a strong following, jump-started the careers of s today's comedy stars like Wanda Sykes, Dave Attell and J.B. Smoove and honed C.K.'s directorial chops for FX's "Louie." While waiting for the Louis C.K. machine to release "Tomorrow Night," you can bide your time with these 10 weird and funny "Pootie Tang" GIFs.

Cole Hamels just doesn't give a f***. Everyone knows that pitchers occasionally bean batters on purpose, but they always deny it. Well, not Hamels. He admitted to intentionally smacking Washington Nationals' rookie Bryce Harper in the small of the back on Sunday night with a 93 mph pitch. Now he's serving a five-game suspension.

"I was trying to hit him," the two-time All-Star lefty and 2008 World Series MVP said Sunday night. "I'm not going to deny it. I'm not trying to injure the guy. They're probably not going to like me for it, but I'm not going to say I wasn’t trying to do it. I think they understood the message, and they threw it right back. That's the way, and I respect it."

It may not be the smartest thing to admit, but you have to respect Hamels for keeping it real, just like Batman. That's why we created the above Batman-worthy GIF. Sorry, Harper, you're the Penguin in this scenario.

Some asses definitely got kicked this weekend as "UFC on Fox 3" and "Bellator 67" both took place. We had some thrilling fights were guys had to survive nearly being finished and turn the tables on their opponents. We had a trash talking Nate Diaz put hands all over Dan Miller in a surprisingly one-sided affair and Bellator's lightweight champion utterly destroyed an MMA legend.

Break My Arm? I'll Break Your Face!

Nobody expected Lavar Johnson and Pat Barry to go the distance. Everyone assumed somebody was going to get knocked the f*** out. So we were shocked when the smaller Barry took the hulking Johnson down and applied a submission that appeared to have Johnson in tears.

It looked like it was all over for Johnson as Pat Barry was in full "tap or snap" mode as he locked in a vicious keylock and put all of his might into the hold. But Johnson is one big sonofabitch who refused to let a nearly broken arm ruin his night. Somehow, the monstrous Johnson got out of the hold and back to his feet. Then this happened...

The Memphis Grizzlies are still a young team. While they haven't been overly impressive in their first decade, that doesn't mean their fans aren't hardcore. The Southerners willed their underdog team into the Western Conference Semifinals last season and supported them through a rough season of injuries. Last night the fans were rewarded with win over the Los Angeles Clippers and impressive performances by stars Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph. The latter player was so amazing that he sent the above fan into fit of mock vomiting. After the TV cameras caught this kid onscreen last night, we couldn't stop thinking about him. Does he have any friends? Who cuts his hair? And how did he get such amazing tickets? Most likely, the answers are: no, his mother with a Flowbee and his father owns a successful chain of BBQ joints. Sure, we mock him, but we are also envious of fandom. No matter how badly he's teased at school, you can tell that everything in his world was right in that moment last night. That, or he's suffering from a ruptured hernia.

Kate Upton Jiggly Bikini GIFs To Brighten Your Day

By now we've all seen the "Cat Daddy" video, featuring Kate Upton in another impossibly small bikini jiggling around for everyone's viewing pleasure. If you haven't seen it, well shame on you. There are certain things in life you have to make time for -- eating, calling your grandparents, studying -- and this is one of those things. I mean, the video was removed from YouTube for being "too sexual" -- it was just that jiggly.

Lucky for the world, the enterprising minds at Buzzfeed compiled GIFs of the action, and we've shared our favorites from the list. But really, it's like Baskin Robbins, you should just work your way through all the flavors. Below, check out why Kate Upton is clearly not a good dancer, and yet manages to be clearly THE BEST DANCER.

Every now and then you'll find yourself in one of those situations where you think, "Dammit! If I only knew how to beat the crap out of a bear!" Nine times out of 10, it'll be because you are about to fight a bear. (The other one time is if you're me and having a fight with my ex-girlfriend who could easily play for the Chicago Bears.) Lucky for you we've provided a guide to taking down one of those grizzly bastards. Pay attention, take notes and stay away from Rhonda Butkus if you can.

1. Stare right into the face of that hairy bag of lies. He's only confident 'cuz of his rep.

Metta World Peace doesn't have a track reward of comically flagrant fouls like last night's thunderous elbow to the Thunder's James Harden. However, his alter ego Ron Artest certainly does. He has an epic history of crashing into and punching opposing players, as well as fans. Now that we know the name change hasn't changed the man, continuing to call him "Metta World Peace" feels a bit like calling the Hulk "Bruce Banner" in hopes that he doesn't smash you. If you asked Artest, he'd probably tell you that everyone who's ever been flagrantly fouled by him was just walking in the area he happened to be swinging his giant, angry fists, but we're not here to argue the validity of his fouls. We're just here to make fun of how over-the-top his madness gets with these Batman-worthy GIFs.

Metta World Peace told us that his violent days were behind him. That's why he changed his name from Ron Artest--symbolizing that he has turned over a new peaceful leaf. However, we learned yesterday when the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder that there's still plenty of "Artest" in World Peace. Poor James Harden got too close to the Lakers forward during his King Kong celebration dance and got a Batman-like elbow to the brain. Metta World Peace claims it was unintentional, but that's as believable as The Joker claiming he's good for Gotham City.
