Is this the most embarrassing Twitter fail ever?

Isn't it just adorable when your parents try and use social media?

In this week's episode of Baby Boomer Versus Technology, Dean Norris — who is known for his portrayal of DEA agent Hank Schrader on the AMC series Breaking Bad — accidentally tweeted "sex gifs" to his more than 520,000 followers when he was presumably just trying to innocently, and privately, search Twitter for raunchy pictures.

Needless to say, Norris' spectacular Twitter fail has sent the social media platform into a frenzy, whose users think it is absolutely hilarious.

I hope dean Norris never tweets again. Just leave that tweet forever.

The tweet, which was posted yesterday, has still not been deleted — so it is not known whether Norris meant to tweet it or if he is aware he made the embarrassing gaffe.

Regardless, it seems to be exactly what people needed this week. So for that, Mr Norris, we thank you.

Our world is so constantly and continuously distressing that we've barely had a moment to appreciate Dean Norris of Breaking Bad inexplicably tweeting "sex gifs" in the middle of the night for reasons entirely unknown.

Returned to work today after a week off and the only thing that made it bearable was thinking about that Dean Norris tweet.
