The awkward moment when the auto-cue fails. Live on air.

Last night involved some beautifully cringe-worthy TV for Adelaide viewers.

When Channel Ten hosts Nick Butler and Rebecca Morse autocue cut out, the pair were left scrambling to figure out what to do next. All while live on air.

We think they did a great job, given the circumstances.  Check out the clip:

Twitter users have since turned the highlights reel of the on-air drama in GIFs. As you do:

I loved @RebeccaMorse10‘s facial moment on 10 News #Adelaide last night so much I had to make this! http://t.co/g12JuIuDnN
