When Im on a plane and the air pressure is encouraging me to fart and from experience you know its only air in your system because of the pressure so you let one out into the foam of the seat and around 10 seconds later you get the horrible notion that maybe it was not scentless and has become even more airborne than the plane and because of the close quarters quickly infects all of those around you.

You try to join in on the upset of the fellow passengers at somebodys ill will towards you but the CRINGE on your face lets them all know it was you. :mad:

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

Andrew Maxwell's attempts at being funny on the panel. It looks to me like his fellow panelists are often cringing at him too. Same goes for some of the guests trying to be funny. Ahhhh, where's the remote???

Pat Kenny fawning over his interviewees.

Dave Fanning fawning over his interviewees.

Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh doing almost anything.

Enda Kenny, most of the time, though he's looking a tiny bit better these days, admittedly. But, ugh.

Dustin, a lot of the time these days. Time for him to get stuffed, methinks!

The Irish national teams losing to crap opposition.

Ireland's Got Talent.

Eddie Hobbs stating the bleedin' obvious like it was the third secret of Fatima.

Ronan O'Gara bottling it against England.

And one for the future: if we lose to Wales next week in the rugby!

Ugh, Fair City trying to be relevant.
"Jaysus Mags, Credit Crunch, what's that? some new kind of biscuit"?
(shudders like Sideshow Bob standing on a rake)...

That ginger, balding tosser Max on Eastenders trying to be a hardman / sex symbol.
Now there's an Emperor that surely has no clothes.

Niamh off Fair City being 'sexy' in those TV ads.

My own personal favourites comes from the 'King of Cringe'.
David Brent-

1. When he gives the 'hilarious' introduction speech to the "Swindon Lot".
"came over a little queer", etc.
This scene was made all the better by the brilliance of the Neil character.

2. When he does that bit about shagging the Corrs and gets pwned by Finchy.

3. The dance of course...

Any form of reality television.
Soap operas.
People drunk and rambling, believing they are rivetingly interesting.
Women with two-inch-long fingernails.
Little baby girls with pierced ears.
Neck tattoos.
Inconsiderate able-bodied drivers parking in spaces reserved for people with disabilities.
People who are cruel about others with challenges.
Real hair extensions, probably sourced from the desperately impoverished in developing countries.
People who's sole hobby is shopping, and overconsumption in general.
Pregnant women smoking.
Pregnant women drinking.

Whenever there something on the news about a Child being raped or attacked

Recently when Bono was giving some achiement award to Paul McCarthy on the Europe Music Awards, and he said something like The Beatles are Irish, it just made me cringe because he was saying it in Liverpool and I can recall some people booing

That's almost as cringeable as his words at Obama's pre-inauguration concert.

“What a thrill for four Irish boys from the northside of Dublin to honour you sir, Barack Obama, to be the next president of the United States.”
