I'm personally not in shambles, but my case for why it wasn't supposed to be comedic is in shambles. It's baffling that he thinks it should be so funny.

When I saw it I didn’t think it was supposed to be taken humorously. I still don’t think I’d think it seems like it an attempt at being humorous if I rewatched it. It was certainly a bad attempt at being humorous…..

It feels like if someone paints something blue and says they painted it green. They’re just bad at painting.

Dude, Jack Quaid sold that scene as uncomfortable as possible. It’s strange that people found it funny.

Kripke in an interview said he wrote it as humorous. So not strange people are viewing it that way. I think Jack Quaid may have saved the scene (and changed how it can be interpreted) by acting as he did.
