yikes

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.

We thought there was nothing quite as laughable as an teenager on Instagram complaining about their myriad trials and tribulations, but man, some of these cringe-filled pictures are starting to change our mind.. This pseudo-deep shit that people are putting out there is completely bonkers. And of course, we love it. 

We don't know about you, but this monotony has a way of making us feel pretty damn numb. One way to combat this feeling of listlessness is by looking at terrible, pain-inducing cursed images.They might disgust you or leave you with sympathy pains, but at least you'll feel something. Right?  

Salutations, m'lady. Please accept this bounteous offering of monumentally cringey fedora-tipping gems as a token of our affection and gratitude. 

Let the fedora tippin' cringe flow through you!

Comedian Shane Hoban has had better days. So was a former date who got a lot more than she bargained for after telling the Boston resident that she didn't wish to pursue a relationship with him. Her respectful text is honest and even generously nice. She even wishes him luck at his upcoming show. That kindness is met with alarming aggression, abusive language, and disturbing threats. Fortunately the internet has helped make sure Hoban gets what is coming to him. 

Getting a tattoo is a big decision. Well, it should be. And sometimes, even if someone's thought over their pretty permanent commitment, their poor taste cancels out the planning phase. That's definitely the case for these cringey tattoos. At this rate, tattoo removal should be an essential service.

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 people say that if at first you don't succeed, you should try and try again. Some of these fiery mistakes definitely challenge the logic behind that saying. That said, we're inclined to give everyone here an E for "effort" - even if it's just for providing us with such excellent schadenfreude.

Residents of Florida really make it easy to make fun of the sunny southern state. We mean no disrespect, but these Florida Man headlines and dragging memes are endlessly entertaining. Florida is kind of like that little brother that you love but can't help but poke fun at. If you like these memes and headlines, follow @floridapeoplegonewild. The account is a veritable treasure trove of hilarious insanity.

Bored of wholesome memes and fluffy tweets? We've got the content you're looking for. These pics will either make you smirk because you know you're going to hell, or make you sad because they're a little too damn relatable. Enjoy!

This crude drawing of Tom the cat has been making waves in the meme-osphere since early March. Memers love a crappy drawing, and they've been using his unsettled expression to illustrate cringey situations that we hope would never happen in real life. The meme is still blowing up, so we've put together a big ol' batch of the cream of the crop. You're welcome. Looking for more? Check out this collection of Unsettled Tom memes over at eBaum's World.

If you're feeling down or like your life isn't going anywhere, we've got some memes and pics for you. Incels and neckbeards, with their cheeto-dusted fingers and Mountain Dew tinted teeth, are basically the stuff of facepalm legend. They lurk the internet making fools of themselves, and entertainment for us. These are their stories.

Facebook is a literal treasure trove of cringey parents who think they know it all. One such mom took to the social media website to see other moms thought of holding "Coronavirus parties" for their children, citing "Chicken pox parties" as inspiration. These parties are supposed to expose children to a disease with the intention of having them "get it over with." But coronavirus is not the same as chicken pox. If kids get it and pass it on to the elderly or immunocompromised, they could die. After the post was shared to r/insaneparents, redditors went in on the batshit mom. We really hope that people aren't actually having COVID-19 parties. Things are bad enough as it is.

Nebraskan Travis F. made some social media waves earlier this month after allegedly marrying his own daughter. Travis, who was recently released from a forgery-related jail sentence, posted a celebratory marriage announcement on Facebook. There was just one problem - the woman he had married is a woman he had raised since she was a child. 

Facebook lurkers exploded with horror and many profanities, even investigating the couple and sharing photos that support the argument that Samantha is, in fact, Travis' daughter. Samantha has since changed her last name on the site, but we've found comments from just a few months ago where she refers to him as "dad." There's a lot to process here, and if you want to indulge in some more comment schadenfreude, you can visit his page to read some of the loco comments.
