Cringetopia

We've all been stuck in an impossibly cringeworthy situation before, whether it's of your own doing or someone else's. Maybe, when you look back, you realize that super cool outfit from middle school actually looked horrible, or you uncover footage from your aspiring comedy career that reveals you weren't ever all that funny to begin with. If you're feeling down on yourself or like life has dealt you a raw deal, take comfort in the fact that you're not one of these horribly cringe-worthy indivi…

Certain aspects of culture tend to seep into our brains. Over the past decade or so, especially thanks to hip-hop, rap, and Black Twitter , AAVE has definitely fallen into that category. Because of their prevalence, a lot of AAVE (African American Vernacular) has become slang. But not everybody is able to use it correctly. See, when clueless people use AAVE and related slang in order to be hip, it usually fails miserably. And when these attempts occur in public internet spaces, like Twitter, ch…

English entertainer James Corden is an easy target. His entire presence, to some, can only be defined as “cringe.” The singing, the bumbling about, the Top 40 squeals and that godawful ‘ Carpool Karaoke, ’ in which he seems to want to make everything about him. His presence, to us, is grating, but we've never heard of him committing some sort of moral or ethical crime against humanity. Until now. Thanks to restaurateur Keith McNally, who owns NYC institutions Balthazar, Pastis, and Minetta Tave…

Karens have been around long before we labeled them as Karens . Everyone can agree that something about an entitled, impatient, cruel, boomer white woman drives nearly everyone up a wall. I'd say the absolute worst thing about Karens is the self-centeredness they seem to all possess. They perceive everything around them that they don't like as an intentional slight directed at them specifically. How they can blow up angrily at the most banal offense is baffling. They will literally become enrag…

It never stops

Shame.

People who think they're very smart

Delectably awful

Gamers aren't inherently bad. It's not a crime to want to spend hours on the internet, honing skills, streaming on Twitch, and/or indulging in fantasy. In fact, when playing with friends, video games can give you pretty much all the benefits (and maybe more) of a night out with the buds. But when some gamers, perhaps after being holed up for long nights of gaming with like-minded douchebags, are the epitome of misogynistic bros. Twitter account @GamerTakes , while largely inactive, is a goldmin…

Woof.

Is it just us or are the 2020 s the decade of the Karen? It seems that this cursed year has somehow emboldened entitled women despite all the 'Karen' backlash that we're not ashamed to admit we've enjoyed. Between the coronavirus pandemic and recent protests against police brutality , every Karen has something to say. And it's usually a massively combination of offensive , entitled, and ignorant garbage. This mix of Karen content covers all of those bases - with a few memes thrown in for a ligh…

But they were too late

Yeesh

Oh no

Dating is hard. And now that things are dying down a little, Covid-wise, we expect the scene is going to get a whole lot crazier. While it's great that those romantic Zoom meetups are (mostly) a thing of the past, there were some perks to getting acquainted to a Tinder or Bumble date ahead of meeting them in person. Namely, being able to get a feel for the suitor's idiosyncrasies before having to get stuck on a date with them in real life. It's a lot easier to close the laptop on a doomed tryst…
