Big yikes

He's so confident

We can't look away.

We live in a society...

Old school

Looks safe

Internet friends, web denizens, social discomfort lovers it's that time of the week. That's right! Every Saturday we take a look at some of the most poignant cringe posts available to the public. For anyone wondering, this week's crop is awfully embarrassing. Unless you're the de facto coolest and most suave individual of all time, we all have to admit we're a little bit cringey from time to time. We're not all as self-aware as we think. Maybe last week you told a waiter “You too!” when they sa…

Happy Saturday cringe fans! We're back once again this week for another healthy heap of second-hand embarrassment. What better way to spend your day off than to look at content that makes you feel slightly better about yourself? Cringe has existed since the dawn of the internet. Well, it has kind of always existed. But the internet revolutionized the sheer amount of cringe that is disseminated and consumed by the masses. Back in the day, you'd just have to laugh at the weird, embarrassing guy i…

Are you or someone you know always getting rejected despite being “nice” to women? Do you think girls only want to date mean and bad boys? Does this perception fill you with rage? Hopefully, this doesn’t apply to you because the last thing you’d want to be is a Nice Guy . Let’s take a minute to discuss and observe these confusing sorts of creatures. So what exactly is a nice guy? I guess the most basic definition would be, guys who believe themselves to be polite and courteous towards women, bu…

Cringe is a wonderfully fun and meanspirited concept. But it really is what the internet is all about; the concentrated bullying of one or more individuals. Now, I’m not much of the bullying type. But I’d be lying if I said I haven’t partaken in cringe content. I’d go as far as to say I’ve been actively consuming cringe since seventh grade. Ironic, because I was extremely cringe even by middle school standards. And I’m still cringe today! For me, cringe content needs to be in a specific enough…

Yikes!

Awkwardly true

Twitter used to be better. At least, that’s what my nostalgia-pilled brain is telling myself when I complain about the infamous bird app. When I was a kid, Twitter felt a lot less focused on mind-numbing discourse and more about retweeting the Anti-Joke Apple every 5 minutes. Now, you feel inundated with hot takes and the most absurd opinions ever concocted by the human mind every time you log on. It’s truly exhausting. One of the most interesting things about Twitter is that it hasn’t drastica…

Did you know that there are two different kinds of cringe: compassionate cringe and contemptuous cringe? Compassionate cringe is about laughing with somebody about a relatable embarrassing experience. Compassionate cringe might occur when you tell your friends about the time you asked out your crush in middle school or when you fell off your scooter and accidentally got a scab that looked like a Hitler mustache for two weeks. Everyone relates to cringe like this, but compassionate cringe is not…

Parenting Facebook groups have obsessions with the many "natural remedies" they think will cure all childhood ailments. My favorite supposed cure-all miracle is breastmilk. For some reason, crunchy moms think that breastmilk can do anything. I will give credit where credit is due: breastmilk offers babies essential nutrients they can't get anywhere else. Unfortunately, breast milk does not cure ear infections. You cannot squirt breastmilk in a blind man's eye and make him see again. Breastmilk…

Parents embarrass their kids all the time. It's a natural part of the parent-child relationship , and it's often completely unavoidable. Once a child becomes a tween, they can't stand to be seen with their parents in public. Tweens want their parents to drop them off at the mall far out of the view of any other tweens, because having a mom is apparently extremely embarrassing. Tweens and teens don't want their parents to take pictures of them, be seen in public with them, or generally be around…
