New Zealand soap Shortland Street has been making headlines across the world thanks to an epic cliffhanger.
The scene in question address the dangers of young people sexting, however, the tone was more comical than perhaps intended.
In the show, teenager Harry Warner has a very awkward moment with his father Chris.
After rudely ushering his son's girlfriend out of the family home, he looks furious as as he holds out an iPad.
Explaining himself, Chris yells: "The tablet is still synced with your phone... Please tell me that is not your penis?!"
Judging by the mortified look on Harry's face, we're guessing it was.
However, viewers are struggling to feel sorry for the lad because the scene is so hilarious.
Opening up about the worldwide success of the penis cliffhanger Shortland St producer Maxine Fleming has described it "the cliffhanger of the year".
“As soon as I read that script I was like, that is the cliff hanger of the year, for me," she told Stuff.co.nz .
"It is a comedy story, but like all good comedy there's a truth at the core of it, and it is social commentary, that story. Many teens are doing stuff like this, and many parents are worried about it."
The epic cliffhanger was conjured up by script producer Nick Malmholt - and Fleming predicted it would be a hit from the start.
"I think Michael now is going to have that line shouted at him across the street. ... So I'm sorry about that Michael," she joked.
The producer revealed that the plot will be developed further in upcoming episodes.
