Thank goodness for kids

‘Dropped a tray of 6 root beers on 6 business men’ me and a… clown on a unicycle crashed right into each other.

We all have at least one moment in our lives that makes us shrivel up with embarrassment (and if we're being honest with ourselves, there's definitely more than one cringey mistake we look back on). I used to be way more embarrassed when I made mistakes, but the older I get, the more mistakes I make. I'm getting used to it, I suppose. If you let you of your need to be perfect and impress all your friends, you have a little less cringe to look back on at night wondering, “Why did I ever say that…

The worst wooshes of all time

No matter how popular you were in school, there was definitely a moment when you either literally or figuratively fell flat on your face. That moment is seared in your memory for as long as you are living. Perhaps it haunts you when you go to sleep and you wake up in the middle of the night completely paranoid that you forgot to wear underwear to class. Perhaps it affects your daily routine somehow, like always bringing an extra change of clothes with you in case you have an uncontrollable bath…

Will this encounter actually convince a human male to go into therapy? Time will tell.

Everyone has that friend in the group chat that has really annoying habits.

Secondhand embarrassment

What's the most cringe-worthy thing you've ever seen out in the wild? Like as an immediate witness. Surely, you have at least one experience that was so cringe that it's seared into your memory, right? Maybe you saw someone's prom-posal go terribly wrong? Maybe someone trying way too hard to be cool? Maybe just a really bad presentation by one of your peers? For me, it was the weird kid in middle school who performed his original rap at the talent show. It was a diss track of sorts, but you cou…

It's common to regret things we say from time to time, but making a mistake in a conversation or sending an embarrassing message in a group chat is nothing compared to the potential horror of posting something on the internet that you deeply regret later. Justine Sacco's infamous tweet is a reminder that deleting a cringeworthy post may not be enough, as it could already be too late. It's important to remember that anything you say or post on social media, including revealing photos or comments…

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…

There's nothing worse than messing up in front of a crush.

Ugh

For this Father's Day, we ask that you accept your dad's corniness.
