To the moon

Everyone embarrasses themselves at some point in their lives—we're only human after all. But some cringe can never be forgiven. And if you've ever ended up on r/cringetopia, there was probably a good reason for it. I'm thankful every day that I grew up without the ability to post my bad opinions on Twitter or get caught doing something really stupid on TikTok. Instead, my embarrassment was relegated to cringey conversations with my crush (on AIM) and just being an all-around nerd at school. It…

In a famous story from Douglas Adams' book So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish , the protagonist Arthur recounts a time he sat down at a table to enjoy a coffee, newspaper, and packet of biscuits he'd recently purchased at a shop. To his horror, a man sitting across from him grabbed the packet of biscuits, tore it open, and started eating them. Instead of saying anything, Arthur passive-aggressively reached into the packet and took what was rightfully his, hoping the man would get the message.…

Companies that aren't afraid to stoop real low

We see it in private DMs. We see it in comment sections. We see it on dating profiles. Softbois , “ nice guys ,” and straight up dirtbags who are pathetically down bad. It seems like some dudes are so depressingly horny, that they become possessed by some sort of cringe demon. How else do you explain the mortifying word garbage these softbois are capable of assaulting other human beings with? We've got a bunch of painful examples of what we're talking about from the best archivist of softboi cr…

They're baaaack

And other satirical publications

Just embarrassing

They say beggars can't be choosers, but there are plenty of shamelessly entitled people out there who have just enough audacity to prove the proverb wrong. The sort of people who get mad when free stuff doesn't meet their unreasonable expectations. Or job listings that seek PhD grads to babysit toddlers for fifty cents an hour. The only response these choosy beggars deserve is shame and ridicule, and we've selected a handful of especially egregious examples of entitlement from r/choosybeggars f…

If there was an award for “cringe of the week,” it would undoubtedly go to Randi Zuckerberg, who recently posted a “rallying cry for the women of web3” in the form of an atrocious music video set to the tune of Twisted Sister's “We're Not Gonna Take It.” A decade ago, I sang this song on Broadway. Today I sing this song, surrounded by new friends, as a rallying cry for the women of web3. Together, we can accomplish anything. And have fun doing it! #WAGMI PS Look for some fun cameos! PPS Sorry f…

In times of crisis, cringe is inevitable, it seems. Especially on Twitter. Remember back in 2020 when Gal Gadot and a bunch of other Hollywood stars sang John Lennon's “Imagine” in one of the most impressive displays of cringe the internet had ever seen? Well it seems that influencers and celebs haven't learned a thing from that atrocity. They just can't help themselves. This week's Main Character is actor Dear Mister President Vladimir Putin… pic.twitter.com/LbDFBHVWJf — AnnaLynne McCord (@IAM…

We've all taken sick days to play hooky from work. It's human nature. But getting caught is never fun. After TikToker @kdimagery360 called in sick, the next day her boss texted her a photo of herself live on TV enjoying a Warriors game. She was truly caught in 4K. TikTokers in the replies were overwhelmingly supportive, arguing that what someone does on a sick day is none of their boss' business. Keep scrolling to see the amusing video and some of the best comments.

Face, meet palm

Dunning-Kruger in full effect

Perfect timing

Here in New York City we usually have too many neighbors to bother getting to know or communicate with anyone. Sure, there are a few neighborhood or block associations, but they're usually pretty insular. Nobody we know uses sites like Nextdoor to communicate. It's usually a quick “How ya doin?” or, when something messed up is happening, a quick complaining session on the sidewalk. This does not seem to be the case in the suburbs. We've come to this conclusion thanks to Best of Nextdoor Twitter…
