There's something exhilarating about watching people crash on burn in movies and television. The same goes for insane posts on the internet. From cringey anime memes to unhinged people on Facebook, the internet is a freaking goldmine of uncomfortable and disturbing content. You just need to know where to look. And because we're benevolent people, we've done that looking for you.
social media
The internet is a sad, scary place that seems to be brimming with cringe. These cringey pics, however, are a special breed. These embarrassing posts are actually so cringeworthy and sad that they're guaranteed to make you feel more depressed than you already are. If you're into that sort of thing.
If you've ever spent time on social media, you're probably aware of the existence of "Reply Guys." The term refers to men who go out of their way to reply (unsolicited) to women's tweets or slide into dms with comments that are generally very inappropriate and very horny. While we're sure these messages are generally disturbing and annoying to recipients, we have to admit that the cringey ballsiness of the senders is incredibly entertaining. Twitter account @guyinthereply has set out to document these creepy messages, and their archive is filled with pure gold. We've put together some of the more tame examples but you can visit their twitter for the stuff that is decidedly NSFW.
Sick and tired of seeing incels and reply guys everywhere you look on the internet? We suggest you take a look at this palate cleanser. It's filled with wholesome moments of bros setting good examples and putting positive energy into the world. If you like what you see, you can check out our other gallery of decidedly non-toxic masculinity. There's still work to be done but let's give these dudes a little positive reinforcement.
We're here to give the elderly some serious props for trying to figure out technology. But sometimes (often) they fail. And it's so, so, so, entertaining. This may sound like some light bullying, but we are coming from a place of utmost respect, a place of undying appreciation for their ability to accidentally create the kind of wholesome content that the rest of us just need.
What is it with Nice Guystm and role-playing? This should go without saying, but we don't like that sh*t, so although this might seem harsh, we're doing you a service here. Dudes, if you're reading this, we hate that we have to remind you not to do this, but here we are.
Forget wholesome content and happy memes. Sometimes we all need to scroll through a selection of cringey moments that can only be described as "dumpster fire." You know, so we can all feel a bit better about ourselves.
For a while we were really feeling sorry for people who are quarantined alone. But these cringe-packed social media posts make a pretty good case for being - and staying - single. From pompous exes to cruel manipulators, this gallery has it all. We're sorry in advance for the pain.
Some insults are just so beautifully poetic that you can't even be mad about them. All you can really do is nod your head and say, "touche" while you stare off pensively into the distance. The following examples demonstrate flawless execution, grace, and poise and we certainly think they're deserving of our recognition!
There's nothing more insufferable than a pretentious dickwad who thinks they're superior to the rest of the world. These brazen individuals (who are definitely having delusions of grandeur) felt the need to declare their superiority on social media. It just ends up being satisfying schadenfreude for us losers.
We always hear about the insane-o anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers and other crazies all over the internet, but it's not as commonplace to come across one in the wild. Well, these 15 posts will prove to you that these people actually do exist, and their stupidity is astounding. Check out /r/InsanePeopleFacebook for even more crazies!
Some things are just cringey enough to make you say "oof" out loud and make a visibly pained facial expression. These posts are of no exception. In fact, many of these people should not be allowed on social media ever again. Maybe we should all have to take a test to be allowed on social media? Honestly, that seems reasonable at this point.
