"#adultswimcam" is the number one topic on Twitter on the morning of December 29.

Hashtags fill the following three places on the chart as Twitter users discuss their awkward moments and Indonesia's football team with the terms "#thatawkwardmomentwhen," "#garudafightsback" and "#loveindonesia."

Indonesian Twitter users are tweeting prolifically this morning, making sure "Support Timnas"  (short for "Tim Nasional Sepakbola Indonesia" or "Indonesia National Football Team" in English) joins "#garudafightsback" and "#loveindonesia" in Twitter's list of most talked about topics.

The annual Kennedy Center Honors gala was aired on TV overnight and microbloggers are posting their thoughts about honorees Paul McCartney and Oprah Winfrey.

Microbloggers in Korea are tweeting about preparations for SBS's (Seoul Broadcasting System) end of the year Gayo Daejun show with the term "Gayo."

The name of American TV show host "Maury" Povich is in sixth place, American football quarterback Blaine "Gabbert" is in eighth place and the name of "kiss-and-tell hip hop groupie" "Kat Stacks" is in the charts in ninth place.
