cringe

It's always wonderful when you find a neckbeard in the wild. It definitely makes you fear for humanity a little bit, but it also serves as an endless source of cringey entertainment. This story is so textbook cringe that you probably won't believe it. Seriously, what is wrong with people?

For anyone who's into makeup, you'll know that eyebrows frame the face and are absolutely crucial to pull your look together. And while a few of the following people are clearly makeup artists trying to create a unique look with their brows, for the others we've just gotta say it...yikes.

If your life has felt devoid of Dorito dust and katana-wielding incels, we've got you covered. This batch of neckbeard memes and texts comes courtesy of @neckbeardfancy, where admins are tirelessly cataloging riveting content that also happens to make our skin crawl. From cringe-inducing attempts to hit on women, to self-aware memes and comics, this gallery is sure to entertain. 

Guy Fieri may be an incredibly silly-looking dude, but how could you not love him? He's a wholesome icon, maybe even up there with the likes of Keanu Reeves and Tom Hanks. So in honor of the mayor of Flavortown, here are 15 memes in honor of The Man himself.

We're all aware that big tech corporations store an insane amount of information about us, but it's probably safe to say that most of us weren't aware of the sheer vastness of it all (think literal millions of pages per person). Dylan Curran, Director of Technology at VFT Solutions, took it upon himself to investigate the amount of information that Google and Facebook have about him, and let's just say...what he found is unsettling to say the least.

Some people just don't understand how the world works. In this story, a spoiled brat tries to blackmail a carpenter into making a near-impossible exception for him based on who his father is. Fortunately for our hero, things don't work out as planned.

Disasters like the COVID-19 outbreak are supposed to bring people together, and highlight generosity and community. Unfortunately, recent events have not only highlighted people who get greedy in the face of a pandemic, but also people who just think they deserve the world. These choosy beggars should feel ashamed of themselves. But let's be real, they probably don't.

YouTube: we all love to hate on it. But while there are certainly a metric crap-ton of cringey content creators out there (hello Jake and Logan Paul), that doesn't mean we don't find them and others incredibly entertaining. So kick back, relax, and enjoy some dank YouTube content - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

There are a lot of enterprising celebrity lookalikes out there. They make good money performing at events and on Instagram. But what about the lookalikes that aren't famous, and just exist in the world? That's what this gallery is dedicated to. From unfortunately coiffed Macedonian Britney Spears, to a bloated and pudgy Leo-lookalike, these doppelgangers will both impress you and make you cringe.

The following people have majorly failed at the one thing they were supposed to do, but at least we get some laughs out of it. Check out more fail-y moments here!

We're gonna go ahead and say it: "Not all neckbeards." But even though we know that not all fedora tipping gentlemen are misogynistic creeps, there's evidence on r/justneckbeardthings, @neckbeardfancy, and pretty much any comment section that aggressive desperation is definitely a trend. These posts and memes make for some serious proof. 

Ever wish there was a Facebook-type site where you can connect with and kvetch about your neighbors? We'd like to introduce you to Nextdoor.  The social networking site focuses on specific neighborhoods, and thanks to Best Of Nextdoor, you can enjoy the insane complaints, brilliant non-sequiturs, and internet-challenged antics of the elderly - all without having to sign up for a site that's predictably filled with Karens and other narcs. We've included some examples of their latest and greatest, but you can find a whole lot more on Twitter. Happy scrolling and eye-rolling!

The world is pretty nuts and painful as it is, but if you can't get enough of the pain and suffering, we've got some material for you. These tweets, memes, and screenshots are overflowing with cringe. At the very least, they'll make you feel better about yourself. 

Every now and then we see a photo that boils our blood and makes us shake with anger. The r/mildlyinfuriating is a mecca for these kinds of images. People share disturbing images from real life and from the depths of the internet that will get your grinds gearing in no time. After all, it's better to feel anger than the numbness we feel most of the damn time. Whether your mildly infuriating poison is food-related (well-done steak) or tech-related (nobody actually wants sticky keys turned on) we're willing to bet that something in here will piss you off.
