Mom and son end up on the kiss cam, and things got awkward

The kiss cam has become a staple at sporting events. But sometimes, things don't always go as planned.

For those unfamiliar, the kiss cam is pretty simple. The camera pans onto an unsuspecting couple in the crowd, which is then projected onto jumbotrons in the center of the stadium. The couple is then urged to kiss for the crowd, which is cute when they're actually a couple. When they aren't, it gets real weird, real quick.

The kiss cam took an unexpected turn during the Milwaukee Bucks‏ game on Thursday evening when the camera panned to a man and a woman, who was apparently the man's mother.

The man quickly shook his head and mouthed, "That's my mom," to the camera. 

He looks disgusted, and when his alleged mother looks up from her phone, she looks equally horrified.

While we'd love to believe this awkward moment was genuine, the kiss cam has been infiltrated in recent years with staged moments to excite the crowd and internet, so it's possible this is not that dude's mom.
