Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lots of people have things they find embarrassing. This is the trope for when it takes up a significant portion of the plot.
Maybe the person has an Embarrassing Hobby that they don't want people to find out about because they think that it's not "cool" enough, not tough enough, or too unorthodox, or not acceptable for people of their age or gender.
Maybe someone saw them doing something embarrassing, like walking in on them on the toilet, in the shower, while getting dressed, in the bath, having sex or maybe they were even Caught with Their Pants Down.
Maybe they're embarrassed about something they're scared of, because they think that they should be fearless, or only wusses should be afraid of what they are.
Maybe they're embarrassed about some aspect of their body such as puberty (or lack thereof), eye and/or hair colour, height, weight, lack of muscle, or size of breasts in women or size of penises in men.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Or maybe they still do something perceived as immature, such as needing training wheels, sucking their thumb or wetting the bed.
But anyway, they're embarrassed, and it majorly impacts the plot. Maybe they're in a situation where the embarrassing thing is liable to happen (for example, someone who wets the bed or is afraid of the dark has to go to a sleepover, someone is invited to do something they're afraid of but don't want to admit, they were caught doing something embarrassing (possibly resulting in a photo or video of it spreading), or they have to buy something they find embarrassing.
And sometimes, they have an embarrassing secret that one person knows and threatens to tell.
Sometimes, they are trying to avoid other people seeing them doing something they find embarrassing, and will get more embarrassed if people ask questions when they notice that the person is acting awkward. Often, the person trying to hide the embarrassing thing or being embarrassed after being caught doing it will be stammering, making Freudian Slip's about the thing in question, or even wearing a disguise.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Often, part of the reason they're embarrassed is because they think they are the only person (or only person in their family/school/class/etc) with the thing they find embarrassing. They will inevitably learn that they're not, often that the thing they find embarrassing is actually common.
To qualify as an Embarrassment Plot, it has to take up a significant amount of plot, not necessarily the whole plot, but a significant amount, or it has to be relevant. If a character is embarrassed for one scene that is only there as a joke, it's not an embarrassment episode. May lead to An Aesop about how being different is not a bad thing, or how embarrassment or the thing the character is embarrassed about is normal. Compare Fugitive Arc which, while not all that similar, may also cause shame. If one of the characters in the series is an Easily Embarrassed Youngster, expect one of these plots at least once.
A reliable staple of Cringe Comedy; if an Embarrassment Plot is Played for Laughs, it's almost certainly an example of both tropes.

A lot of these happened in the Franklin episode "Franklin's Soccer Folly," with the moral "Everyone gets embarrassed sometimes."
At the beginning of the episode, Franklin and his friends are playing soccer and Franklin somehow flips his shell on backwards after running into someone, which blocks his vision and causes him to kick the ball into his own team's net. Throughout the rest of the day, Franklin's friends won't let him live it down, even Bear, Franklin's best friend, can't think about it without laughing.
Later, when Franklin is telling his parents about what happened, they tell him their own embarrassing moments. Mr Turtle talks about one time, when he was Franklin's age, he had to stand up in front of his class and sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and when he got to the verse "like a diamond in the sky," he let out a big burp, causing the whole classroom to laugh, even Mr. Turtle's friend Mole, who laughed so hard, he fell right out of his chair.
Mrs. Turtle then talked about an incident a few days ago when she went out grocery shopping and saw a huge display of oranges that were on sale. But she grabbed one from the bottom of the pile, causing all of the oranges to come toppling down. Mrs. Muskrat then helps her pick them up and even jokes that she "forgot to put oranges on her shopping list."
Bear has a small moment at the end of the episode when he squirts mustard all over his arm, but he just laughs it off.

Dirty Bertie:
In one chapter, Bertie tries to get out of going to the barber because the barber only does buzz cuts, which he finds embarrassing.
In "Pants!", Know-All Nick and Bertie have a bet which Bertie loses, so he has to go to school in his underwear. This is too embarrassing even for Bertie so he tries to get out of it.

One episode of As Told by Ginger has the latter half reveal that Courtney Gripling has lice, around the time Dodie has become reader of the announcements. Dodie wants to read out the list of people who have the lice and claims that it's because the students "have a right to know", but her own private words reveal she wants to do it because it'll make her look good. Ginger is not happy to learn this and she proceeds to actually run and disconnect the mike before Dodie could say the name.

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide: The aptly-named episode "Guide to Embarrassment" Ned goes through a series of embarrassing events during the day, namely farting in class, spraying his pants with the water fountain, talking to Suzy with food and his teeth and his fly down, and then burping in class. Meanwhile, Moze keeps embarrassing herself while trying to talk to Faymen, the foreign-exchange student she likes. The episode ends with Ned saying that everyone does embarrassing things after he proceeds to defend Suzy when she ends up embarrassing herself in class and leading the rest of their classmates in doing the same while Faymen admitting to being embarrassed because of his poor English.

This often happened to the kids on The Brady Bunch. Plots have dealt with Marcia's embarrassment about having braces, or Jan needing to wear glasses, or Bobby's height, or Greg's hair turning orange, or Peter not thinking he's interesting enough, or Cindy's lisp.

In the 6teen episode "Pillow Talk," the gang tell each other their most embarrassing moments and swear not to tell anyone about it, only for Caitlin to end up telling them all to her boyfriend, who accidentally blabs them to the whole mall while under hypnosis. The embarrassing moments are:
Jude threw up in his girlfriend's mouth, on their first kiss.
While at the beach one time, Caitlin got a piece of toilet paper stuck in her bikini bottom after coming out of the bathroom.
Jonesy once went to a hair salon and got a perm (or as he called it, a "body wave")
Wyatt built a shrine to Serena in his bedroom and still hasn't taken it down even after they broke up.
Nikki once ran headfirst into a stop sign in front of the whole school.
Jen once sat on a chocolate bar, in white pants, and then walked around looking like she pooped herself.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In the Season 8 episode "Molt Down", Spike the dragon is going through a developmental dragon phase that involves itchy red scales, fire burping, random voice pitch changing and smelling bad. Among other things, he finds it embarrassing.
Way back in Season 2, "Read It and Weep", Rainbow Dash takes up reading in the hospital while recovering from an accident and discovers a passion in reading (at least Daring Do anyway.) She is quite embarassed about people finding out because she doesn't wanna others teasing her for being an "egghead." Of course, none of the others do.
In "Newbie Dash", Rainbow Dash has finally achieved her dream of being a Wonderbolt, but during practice, goes through an accident and gets the embarassing moniker "Rainbow Crash." Problem is that the name was also the insult her schoolyard bullies would tell her. Rainbow Dash goes through various lengths to try and get a different nickname before the others reveal that everyone has an embarassing nickname (with Spitfire's apparently being very embarassing.)

Martha Speaks:
In "Alice Twinkle Toes", Alice wants to do ballet, but she is embarrassed to admit it because she is clumsy and feels people would think it's ridiculous the idea of a clumsy dancer.
In "Martha Fails the Course", Martha is embarrassed by failing an agility course and doesn't want to walk for fear of falling over and being laughed at.
In "Martha and Truman Get Lost", the reason they got lost was because they were looking for something of Truman's that he was too embarrassed to specify. Turns out to be his lucky rock.
In "Carolina Tackles Football", Carolina likes American football but is embarrassed because she thinks it's not for girls... even though Helen and Alice play it.

In Never Been Kissed, Josie’s major motivation is to redeem her high school experience after being traumatized by the most popular guy in school, who pretended he was taking her to the prom but then threw eggs at her when he came to pick her up. When Josie does become popular and is even named prom queen, she sacrifices it to prevent another nerdy girl from being humiliated at prom. Josie then sets herself up for further embarrassment by writing about her entire experience in the Chicago Sun-Times and asking her teacher, Mr. Coulson, to meet her on the mound of a public baseball game to give her First Kiss. Had he not shown up, that would’ve been an even bigger embarrassment to live down.

In the first three episodes of Kill la Kill, Ryuko is embarrassed by the battle form that Senketsu turns into, which makes her unable to use it properly and uses up her energy quickly. This goes away at the end of the third episode when her wacky friend makes a Rousing Speech.
This actally ties into one of the themes of the anime, namely in girls wrestling with their sexuality and how others percieve them as they grow older. Ryuko's shame is contrasted against her rival Satsuki's, who even calls out Ryuko for being ashamed; after all, Satsuki believes her convictions and actions are pure. If she has to bare most of her body to do so, then so be it. This in turn along with the speech, gets Ryuko to overcome her embarrassment.

LazyTown: While not explicitly embarrassing, this is certainly the purpose of Robbie's scheme in "Defeeted". At the beginning of the episode, we're shown that Sportacus is at the very least slightly nervous about performing his stunt in front of the town. After having his boots switched for remote-controlled ones, Robbie Rotten uses them to control his feet and make him look like a fool in front of the town, leading to one of the few times he's nearly completely rendered helpless without undergoing a Sugar Meltdown. His facial expressions say it all.
In the "Breakfast At Stephanie's", Robbie tries a similar scheme involving using an invisibility helmet to embarrass Sportacus while attempting a stunt, causing the others to believe there's something wrong with him.

How I Met Your Mother:
"Slap Bet" revolves around a huge secret about Robin's past which she desperately wants to keep secret. Barney thinks it's porn, Marshall thinks it's a past marriage. It turns out to be Robin's in-universe Old Shame, her teenage career as a Canadian pop star, especially her extremely of-its-time hit "Let's Go To The Mall".
"Game Night" focuses on the gang finding an old tape of Barney singing to his ex-girlfriend, begging her to take him back. The only way they persuade him to tell the story behind the tape is by telling their most embarrassing stories.
