    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 talent show and their sob stories...

    You're just upset because you never had the bright idea of rocking up to X-Factor in a wheelchair or had your application sent in by a dying relative.

    Extremely obese people at “All-You-Can-Eat” restaurants; stuffing their faces.

    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.

    Any injury involving the eye

    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.”

    that Joe O' Shea fella that used to present Seoige & O Shea.

    worst tv presenter ever.

    used to make my toes curl how uncomfortable he was in front of a camera.

    Anyone that uses the phrases "Would you die for your country?", "Will you cry if Man utd/liverpool/everton etc don't win the cup" or anyone who says "I'm not gay really, I just like girls with cocks"...example... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055485030

    I hate to say it but that boards guy who appeared on Vincent Browne the other night. He looked the part but when it came to throwing out answers to questions seemed a bit lost in cyberspace. Of course, VB is up his own hole as well, but the boards guy came across as a bit vacant. A bit of a rabbit in the headlights. Sorry! I've heard boards reps come across much better on radio. Including that guy.

    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???

    i have to agree with you there!!and when no ones listening to him or he has nothing to say he just starts shouting or cursing really loud...people just give him that"oooh he said a bold word"kinda laugh.




    PEOPLE WHO CLAP WHEN A PLANE LANDS!!!!!!!

    hooray we didnt die on that one????
    do you clap to the bus driver every time you arrive at your bus stop safely???

    I find that cringy but in a laughable way. I love that show!

    For me I find it so cringy watching a geeky guy on tv trying it on with a hot girl. I watch through finger covered eyes!
