Cringe comedy is a subgenre of comedy that intentionally makes the audience feel awkward, embarrassed, or uncomfortable. It often features characters who are socially inept, embarrassing themselves in front of others. Cringe comedy can be found in movies, TV shows, and even stand-up comedy routines.
One of the most famous examples of cringe comedy is the TV show The Office. The show follows the lives of the employees of a paper company, and it is full of awkward and embarrassing moments. Another example of cringe comedy is the movie Borat. The movie follows the adventures of a Kazakh journalist who travels to the United States. Borat is constantly making social faux pas, and his interactions with Americans are often cringe-inducing.
