What makes you cringe or grimace?

For me it's Fair City.

It's ****ing embarrassing, cringe factor ten.

How does this show pull in the rating figures that it does?

It's like a porno with all the bad acting, but just without the sex.

The racist storyline is also cringe worthy, cliche ridden shite.

The lesbian kissing lately was alright though

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 31-03-2010 07:37PM

Those 'Dance for Tipperary' sh1tty beat mixes of the fields of athenry and the like.
Sometimes they have the audacity to advertise on the television!

The thought of my Da going down on my Ma.

liah · 31-03-2010 07:38PM

The mere thought of having damage done to my Achilles tendon. Even typing this is making me cringe.

Also, watching torture scenes in films which involve pulling off fingernails. I can watch the most disturbing, graphic, gorey movies on the planet without batting an eyelid.. but when it comes to fingernails, I just can't look.

Vinta81 · 31-03-2010 07:39PM

Teeth.

That scene in American History X.

Hank_Jones · 31-03-2010 07:40PM

When my oul lad makes sexual innuendo comments.

Especially when they include my ma.

Scar me for life.

+1 Have seen that film 5/6 times and still can't look at that bit

Irish people discussing sex, or a sex scene with an Irish person in it. We're too pale and freckly to take it seriously.

Like that advert for nail infections, where they pull up the man's toenail...sends shivers up my spine!

When you hear about someone breaking a bone and the bone goes through the skin... eww it gives me the gibblies!

Biggins · 31-03-2010 07:53PM

Fair City, The Ireland Talent show, Jackie Healy Rea and son, Dana, Twink, RTE, the Irish court system in regards to family law and fathers rights to begin with.

When I was a kid, Dallas was fucker for that.

Soon as JR took off his hat, you just knew you were in for some sofa sinking cringeness.

People singing "The Fields of Athenry" (especially with the IRA bit)

Sends me into cringe convulsions

Piste · 31-03-2010 08:06PM

The moment anyone shouts "IRA!" or "SINN FÉIN" during that song I die a little inside.

One_Armed_Dwarf · 31-03-2010 08:50PM

people that come from nice families but act like complete dirtbags because they think it makes them look "hard"

Mindless drunken SCUM.
I hate them.

Rowley Birkin QC · 31-03-2010 08:54PM

People discussing "celebrities" lives instead of having actual conversations that relate to their own lives.

PeterIanStaker · 31-03-2010 08:55PM

Anything burberry, its like nails on the chalkboard to me. Urrgghh.

bonerm · 31-03-2010 08:56PM

Young professionals acting old before their time.

(I'm looking forward to laughing at their mid-life crisis')

People who think they're connoisseurs of wine and/or whiskey

"Oh yeh, the musky aroma, blends so well with malty after taste, you can really tell this was distilled in a 1925 oak barrell made by a man with a limp who ritually abused alter boys, mmmm ya!!"

Have a Guinness and STFU

The lack of sex is a good thing, it would be oh so much worse to watch those things go at it.

Cleaning dead wet hair out of the drain gives me shivers.

ironictoaster · 31-03-2010 09:02PM

DJ's that play the national anthem at the end of a night and then people actually standing up to it.

You deserve to go to hell for that.

Bazzy · 31-03-2010 09:06PM

laser eye surgery James bond was afraid of the laser and lets be honest he's cool and people pay to get their eyes burnt with a laser cant be right!

What makes you cringe or grimace?
