Dammit! What is this mess?

In order for a bombastic action thriller to work, audiences have to suspend their disbelief. If we pulled apart every plot twist that involved a random betrayal or a surprise solution in the eleventh hour, we'd never get any enjoyment out of anything on screen. And yet, sometimes TV shows take advantage of that generosity, and goes off the rails a little too far.

24 is a brilliant show. There's no denying it was seminal for early 2000s entertainment as it ticked the boxes of contemporary entertainment.

Gung-ho action? Check! A cavalcade of conspiracies and shadowy organizations? Check! A sexy Kiefer Sutherland seeing every object as a weapon, and every body-part as something to break? Double-Check!

But it also went into the shark-infested waters of lunacy. After 9 explosive seasons, 24 most certainly accumulated its fair share of plot outlines so nonsensical even the writers of Riverdale would laugh them out a pitch meeting. And while it would be easier to disregard the whole show as baffling now that we've had more mature counter-terrorist content since, it's better to isolate those crazy moments away from the series as a whole (and celebrate them for their idiocy).

In this list, we'll be taking a look at ten of the daftest, craziest, weirdest and wildest moments from 24 that made even the most hardcore fan roll their eyes in despair.
