In addition, a point that is particularly scorned is that the normally jovial program hosts look unnatural and out of place when doing these emotive segments. Variety shows still are played mainly for laughs and entertainment. Inserting these segments is a gimmick intended to add drama. The hosts, stuck between solemnity and silliness, often look embarrassed and uncertain what to do next.
另外，較為人詬病的是，以搞笑為特質的主持人，一進入這種溫情單元，往往就像少了手腳般侷促難安，難為的是，這些綜藝節目的基調還是以搞笑與娛樂為主，穿插這類單元，目的還是創造戲劇性和噱頭，主持人夾在正經嚴肅或幽默嘻笑之間，常洩露出不知如何拿捏的尷尬。
