Joe Jonas, Watch What Happens LiveBravo

Oh, Andy Cohen. How we love your ability to put even the most private celebrities in the most awkward situations. 

One of the Bravo star's most popular segments on Watch What Happens Live is a little game called Shag, Marry, Kill, where guests on the show are asked to choose which of three fellow stars they would do exactly that to. More often than not their options include exes, current flings and co-stars, so needless to say things get weird pretty fast. 

Joe Jonas was Cohen's latest guest in the hot seat, and when asked who he would shag, marry or kill between ex-girlfriends Demi Lovato, Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift, the DNCE frontman couldn't help but squirm. Jonas ended up admitting he would tie the knot with Lovato, get down with Swift and kill Hadid (but not without reluctance). 

In the spirit of Joe's confession, we've put together all the stars who've had the rug pulled out from under them by Andy. Meryl Streep, Khloe Kardashian, John Mayer and more are just a sampling of those who have also taken part in the fun.

Meryl Streep: The legendary actress didn't ask to have to put her co-stars on blast, but she was a total trooper about it. With Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson and Robert Redford up for grabs, the choice was especially easy when it came to who Streep would shag. 

"Jack? Shag," Meryl answered with a wink, possibly reminiscing about their 1986 Heartburn film together. As for who she'd marry, the Ricki and the Flash star would marry Redford ("maybe") and give Hoffman the axe.

Khloe Kardashian: As a frequent guest in the Clubhouse, the E! reality star is no stranger to Cohen's relentless grilling. During her third round of "Plead the Fifth," she was asked to take a stab at her sisters' significant others.

Yep, that's right, Kardashian struggled to distinguish who she'd shag, marry or kill when it came to Kanye West, Scott Disick and Tyga. "Oh God, this is weird," Kardashian said as she chose to wed Kim Kardashian's husband, have sex with Kourtney Kardashian's father to her three children and off Kylie Jenner's beau. 

"There's no reason why," Khloe clarified. 

John Mayer: Cohen declared the singer's appearance on the talk show "The John Mayer Love Life Edition," asking which past he shared with Swift, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson deserved a revisit. 

"I think that's double jeopardy," Mayer dished. The Grammy winner kept his lips sealed, opting to plead the fifth for this tough question.   

Amy Schumer: It's safe to say Andy didn't quite know who he was dealing with when it came to the Trainwreck star, who he called an "honesty bomb." While promoting her 2015 comedy alongside Bill Hader and Judd Apatow, Schumer was asked to come to a definite conclusion over Hader, John Cena and Lebron James

Without skipping so much as a beat, the comedienne answered, "John Cena. I'm going to f--k, marry and kill him."

Ed Helms: This round of shag, marry, kill came from a fan, who asked the actor to dish on Aniston, Rashida Jones and Christina Applegate. Helms appeared visibly puzzled by the question, and asked if he could "shag all of them."

When it came down to crunch time, the Hangover star opted to shag Jennifer, marry Rashida and kill Christina. Let's just say the audience was pretty shocked by his response. 

Jennifer Lopez: When it came to her American Idol co-stars, J.Lo just couldn't bear to hurt their feelings. Between Ryan Seacrest, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban, the songstress told Andy, "That is so mean. I gotta kill one of them?!" adding, "They're very sensitive. I'm the toughest one on the show."

In the final hour Lopez said she would marry Ryan, before quickly backtracking and skipping the rest all together. "I can't do this," she said. "You know what? Let's bail on this. I plead the fifth. It's too weird. They're like my brothers!"

LL Cool J: The Lip Sync Battle host took aim at the same hip-hop artists he shared the spotlight with back in the 80s and 90s. When given Eve, Lil Kim and Da Brat to choose from, it took some extra reassurance from Cohen that it was all just a game. 

"I'd probably have to shag Da Brat and bring her back to the party, marry Eve and go on and put the knife in Lil Kim," he pondered. "I'll never hear the end of that one. I don't know why I answered... I played myself just now."

James Marsden: One fan asked the Best of Me star, "James, if you were gay, who would you shag? Who would you kill? Who would you marry?" and gave Marsden his three choices: Cohen, Anderson Cooper and Neil Patrick Harris (yeah, that wasn't awkward for Andy at all).

"He's a wonderful human being, but I would kill Neil Patrick Harris," Marsden began to say. "He's a talented, wonderful guy, but I have to choose someone. And I think that I would marry Anderson, which means I'd shag you," the actor said to Andy.

Paula Abdul: For seven years, the star decided the fate of aspiring artists on reality TV competition, American Idol. That being said, she spent a lot of time with fellow judges Simon Cowell and Ryan Jackson, as well as the show's host, Ryan Seacrest. 

Abdul got straight to the point with her answer, admitting, "Let's get through it. Kill Simon." For the final two, Paula opted to shag Jackson because "Why not?" and marry Seacrest. 

Dennis Quaid: The actor was definitely put between a rock and a hard place when it came to co-stars Streep, Cher and Julianne Moore

Dennis thought long and hard about his answers, ultimately deciding to marry Meryl, shag Julianne and kill Cher. Not to worry, Quaid apologized to the singer saying, "It's just the wrong straw. It's the short straw for Cher."

Ben Stiller: The actor was seemingly up for the challenge when it came to picking between co-stars Aniston, Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow. As any true gentleman would have it, the Zoolander star kept completely quiet and plead the fifth.
