21 of the Cringiest Moments to Ever Grace the Screen
Movie and TV characters undergo the full gamut of life’s experiences, from the joy of falling in love to the grief of a death in the family to being a Terminator. Some of those experiences are intensely embarrassing (particularly the last one — he’s naked for, like, the first 10 minutes of that movie), but that’s what makes them relatable. We’ve all been kept awake at night by calling the boss “Mom,” and so have they.
But some of those scenes are just too embarrassing to watch. Sometimes, it’s because you could never imagine doing that, but sometimes, it’s precisely because you can. For Redditor StarryMind322, that was the case for Osmosis Jones. “When I watched it in high school, Bill Murray’s character reminded me of my own mother, and I felt embarrassed for the daughter character and for everyone in my class who had to watch that,” they told r/AskReddit.
They then asked, “What movie or TV episode gives you the worst secondhand embarrassment?” and nothing but cringe soon followed.
