If there’s one thing the internet has taught us, it must be our enduring appreciation of a good cringe. Urban Dictionary defines the term cringe as “when someone acts/is so embarrassing or awkward, it makes you feel extremely ashamed and/or embarrassed.” But the feeling is way better felt than explained in words.
If you’re already a self-confessed cringe addict who dove down the cringetopia hole and experienced the most cringeworthy moments of life, then we've got this new treat for you. Welcome to The Cringiest Posts Twitter page that does exactly what it says in the title – shares the posts that make you curl up like a tortoise out of the sheer cringe and then cringe once more.
Below we wrapped up some of the funniest, I mean cringiest examples, so enjoy with caution!

Tongue out, eyes closed. Tongue out, eyes open. What versatility! 🎭
Do you have any talent besides sticking your tongue out? I need some more info to email the Netflix people
I dreamed that once as a kid, that I was a movie star in a movie and I knew nothing about it. They had just taken a pic and put my face on someone else or something. This was in the 70s, ages before they made those deep fake things with Mr. Bean. https://youtu.be/oc81HVDr7WQ My son had an app in which you can put your own face in some movie. I can finally make my dream come true. Yay! I'm Jack Sparrow now.
I'm developing a series with the working title, "The Tongue with No Brain." I think she'd be perfect.
Entitlement at it's most obnoxious. Like girl do it yourself all we care about are cats. :(
With the grimaces and the flopping tongue, hard to tell whether she's actually all that pretty.

Put your tongue back in your mouth. Then try to state, clearly and coherently, exactly what you would bring to this Netflix series you’re fantasizing about starring in. Twits on Twitter aren’t going to make it happen for you. No one is going to make it happen for you—-YOU have to make it happen for you. You have to have talent. You need connections. You have to audition. You have to get an agent. You have to get a SAG card, which means you need to go to a cattle call where you don’t have to have a union card, manage to get a tiny part in a union production, which will then qualify you to join the union and be able to work more. BTW, most aspiring actors never become famous. Some might be able to cobble together a career as an extra, character actor (but only if they’re good), or playing bit parts. Problem is, you have to ALWAYS look for a job, while trying to wait tables or something to pay bills. So, if you’re not an energetic self promoter, you’ll never work. Basically, what you want is just a pipe dream, for which you don’t have one iota of the talent and drive to make a career from. Idiot.
Why do some women think that sticking out their tongue is cute? It looks dumb.
What is up with the tongue thing? I've seen Miley Cyrus do it and it looks kind of stupid.
What's the name of this supposed Netflix series she's going to star in? Madi Licks Everything She Can?
Hahaha I think that's a WHOLE different kind of show on a totally different site. LMAO

i would rather watch fox news then whatever show she's playing a leading role in
I can’t go that far. I’d still watch her show first. I’d watch a show about nothing but a raccoon farting before I’d watch Fox News…though at that point they’d be a little hard to tell apart.

I'm sure her tongue can make her a star, a triple XXX star that is!

Fortunately the added effect of her tongue lolling stupidly out of her mouth just adds to the realization that she isn’t very bright.
It makes it 10x's worse that she's sticking her tongue out in the same manner that a 5 year old would.
Hey now! Give five year olds some credit, heck four year olds know better than to let their tongues flop outta their mouths like that

Does she think sticking one's tongue out is attractive or something? Cos it's not.
I cannot abide this ridiculous “ tongue” fad , it makes you look like a moron. Just let the toddlers have their own moment please
Netflix could make a series on "the worst people ever that will make you cringe with your asscheeks" and she can star in that.
What is up with sticking the tongue out in the pictures/videos? Does it make you look cool? I dont get it
I've been trying to figure out what this means ever since I first saw it.
Really? The only thing you can do is stick your tongue out, and you look absolutely awful doing it
Why do people (usually female) stick their tongues out in photos? Do you not realize how completely STUPID you look?
You'll have better odds if you can prove you at least have the IQ points to keep your disgusting tongue IN your mouth where it belongs. No one's going to think you can learn lines, etc., if you can't handle something that basic.
I don't think it's netflix that will make you a star. you should try some of the Gonzo studios in Hollywood.
I mean...considering all of the "reality stars," and Tik Tok, Instagram, YouTube, whatever "Influencers" who have become "famous" for simply posting online, is it really such a stretch(because this has become such a disgustingly normal part of our society) that someone who has grown up with this as their reality would think posting their picture and desire to be an actor on Twitter is how you go about it? Maybe she's not dumb (although I will concede very naive), or "spoiled," but a product of her environment. 🤷♀️ idk, I'm trying to be less knee-jerk judgemental about people.
A documentary on the day in the life of an OnlyFans content creator, perhaps? Hey, could be interesting.
No no. She's on to something. Netflix could probably do some type of documentary on the cringe of twitter; maybe call it Twidiots
Only if you ever are unfortunate enough to run into a serial,killer miss.
If you've ever spent enough time browsing in the land of the internet, you must have inevitably encountered cringe-powered content at some point. It takes only one word, five letters, to be exact, to present the inexplicable feeling known as cringe. For some, it’s a curled upper lip, for others it’s a shake of the head, for the rest, it's curling into a ball that forgets any social norms.
According to Kaitlyn Tiffany, the term cringe took off on forums in the early aughts, when the practice of humiliating oneself online was still somewhat novel. Now, however, it’s absolute mainstream — it’s both an internet genre and a meme, as well as an insult of some kind. It's natural to wonder if we all suddenly became more prone to cringe as a group, or if there’s another reason why there’s so much cringeworthy content out there.
Well, in a piece for The Atlantic, Tiffany argues that “it’s because we’ve been given more opportunities to display our cringeworthy characteristics, and also to point out the cringeworthy behavior of others.” She adds that “Whereas people used to feel secondhand embarrassment on behalf of their friends and family, or wince at their own awkward behavior, they are now exposed to the potentially embarrassing behavior of entire social networks.”
Oh that's easy. You'll only need a crystal ball, a shroom picked at midnight and 3 roach heads
As if that wasn’t enough, we have spent years, a decade, if not more, in this kind of environment. No wonder our sense of cringe has become heightened to the point where “we can sniff out the tiniest flaws in someone else’s public performance, dig them up, share them around.” Tiffany calls us “the connoisseurs of cringe,” and you may wonder if that’s even a thing to be proud of.
Meanwhile, according to evolutionary history, cringe is birthed by the fear of social rejection — a feeling similar in intensity to physical pain. Psychology professor Rowland Miller argues that people literally crinkle in embarrassment because the ability to “feel vicarious embarrassment is influenced by our ability to empathize with others.”
Miller argues that people cringe for reasons beyond contempt; it can be compassion, too, for having experienced a feeling similar to that unfolding in real time. Cringe is then about secondhand shame and empathy — human emotions that define anything and everything we do.
Melissa Dahl, a senior editor at The Cut and author of Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, suggests that cringe content is “a controlled way of facing this really deep fear.” She argues that “It’s funny to talk about being embarrassed during the year 2020 when there’s such scary things going on,” referring to the height of the pandemic. Cringe content, on the other hand, shows that there’s nothing scarier than being cast out on your own and laughed out of the group.
Extremely cringe, and some were just plain rude. Very good article, though! :)
Ok, I barely understood any of these posts, the responses within the posts nor the comments. Is this really how people communicate? No wonder no one seems to understand anyone else.
Most of them I got, but yes there were a few where I think you have to spend way more time online than I do to be able to understand it.
