If you read Bored Panda, you've probably heard about the subreddit r/Cringetopia — an online community whose members torture each other with the cringiest content they can find. But if you missed it and this is the first time you're hearing about this corner of the internet, fire up our earlier publications here and here and catch up.

Nobody is too good to get a pass from these folks. Whether you're just a "prank YouTuber" using dirty tricks to clickbait viewers into watching your video, or a famous singer who is having a quarantine meltdown in a multi-million dollar home, if your behavior caused someone to suffer from second-hand embarrassment, chances are, it will earn you a feature.

While covering the subreddit, we noticed there was one group of people who consistently ended up there. Parents. And believe me when I say it, moms and dads know plenty of original tricks to make themselves the stars of r/Cringetopia. So we at Bored Panda decided to see how many we can find.

Eventually, we decided to expand our search beyond the subreddit, going through the entire internet and compiling this list for you to enjoy. Or hate. Think of it as a collaboration between us and r/Cringetopia.

    My Mom Is Putting Up Cameras In My Room Now

    Security camera installed behind a curtain rod capturing a corner of a dark room showing cringy parent decor.

    The Reddit user talked to Bored Panda about the unusual situation: “My mother is out quite a bit, so maybe that was the reason she put up the camera. Maybe she felt that she needed to watch me while she was out, but she never told me the exact reason.” They also said that they have “already confronted” their mother “with the argument that what she's doing is illegal and an invasion of privacy. So now I've taken them down and plan to keep taking the cameras down if she puts up more.”
