There's a subreddit called "cringe anarchy", and when posts from it make on the front page, I can almost never tell which part I'm supposed to cringe at, because all of it, including the fact that someone posted it to that sub, is pretty bad.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


My wife loves cringe humor and likes to watch the most uncomfortable stuff ever, like stand-up comics bombing or worst-of public access TV compilations. I can't stand to watch people embarrass themselves, it makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

I've never really enjoyed humor that is based on how awkward something is. Anti-humor hasn't really ever clicked with me, I just don't really find it funny. Like, I don't wanna watch two people stand around staring at each other where the joke is that they're not saying anything, or watch a dude bust his kneecap so hard while skateboarding he probably will walk with a limp.

It's moreso my annoyance with the culture that surrounds it than the word itself, like it's a very mean spirited thing, more than the actual meaning of the word itself which implies a sympathetic reaction

I get really bad second-hand embarrassment about people loving up on stage, just because I perform on stage a lot and I can't help but remember all the times I've hosed up and how awful it feels. I'm getting better about it but there's always a little anxiety when I go to see an amateur performance of anything that there might be a catastrophic gently caress-up and I'll implode into a superdense sphere of embarrassment.

Oh, I agree with this. A huge part of modern comedy culture is just judgement as comedy. And sure, this type of thing has always been around, but now, with the internet, every has the ability, and feels qualified to, take pictures or screens of other people to mock them.

It is not, you will probably finish all the ones you want in time. I was worried too but I'm on the way to maxing my stats real soon and finishing the confidants I give a poo poo about and I'm no min-maxer.

Same, my wife and I were watching HBO's "Hello Ladies" which is like Cringe Humor Turbo Hyper Championship Edition and she was laughing her rear end off while I acted like I was watching a drat horror movie. I think I hid my face with a pillow at one point.

I bought Yooka-Laylee last night. It seems pretty fun right now. The challenges for Pagies are short, but there really needs to be shadows on the quills and butterflies because it can be hard to tell where they are sometimes. During the first race I missed some of the butterflies because they look like they should be able to be grabbed on the ground, but it didn't work. I'm also not really fond of how the talon-trot go fast move is tied to a resource, which may be an issue once I expand the worlds.

I also bought Neir, Hellblade and I'm going to try the Hitman 2016 stuff because that was $20 on PSN

Saints Row burnout maybe? I never enjoyed Saints Row personally but Agents looks different enough and mishmashed with Crackdown elements that it could be good. At worst it'll be average but I wouldn't be too surprised if it gets better reviews than expected
