The word "cringe" is thrown around the internet quite a lot. Whenever you sign in to social media, you hear that this or that makes a person cringe. It might seem that this word is thrown around so much that it starts to lose its meaning.

Well, to say that, we have to learn what it means, don’t we? Well, according to Wikipedia (because where else is there to go when you don’t know something, right?), a cringe is an action or thing that brings out feelings of discomfort or embarrassment.

Others might describe cringe as a form of empathy, as a person puts themselves in the place of someone else and feels embarrassed for them. While the description doesn’t necessarily dub it as a form of empathy, it also includes a mention of embarrassment, which is basically what cringe is.

Sometimes, cringe can manifest as a physiological and emotional response to something a person did or said in the past, or it can be a reaction to someone else’s behavior or words. The latter might cause one to feel secondhand or vicarious embarrassment.

Fun fact: in an early cut of Lilo and Stitch test audiences didn't like the scene where Lilo and Nani get into a fight and said things like "I didn't like the way the mom yelled at her". So they went back and edited it so that the two repeatedly refer to each other as "sister", just to clarify that Nani isn't actually her mother and this is a sibling fight.

There’s a whole comedy subgenre based on the feeling of cringiness. Cringe comedy creates humor from social awkwardness, self-deprecation, guilty pleasures, and personal distress, which quite often is made in the form of TV shows. In it, the characters step out of and break social norms by basically acting in ways people might dub cringe.

Such popular TV shows like “The Office,” “Fleabag,” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” are perfect examples of cringe comedy. And even though, theoretically, it might seem that people shouldn’t enjoy feeling cringe, the popularity of these shows tells a different story.

Basically, sometimes, people like to laugh at their own and other people's behavioral standards and witness what it would be like to not meet certain social norms.

It's one thing to create cringe content on purpose and another thing to do it by accident. Today’s list of movie lines that make people cringe is full of examples of the latter. To talk a little bit more about that, Bored Panda reached out to film critic and host of the Girls On Film podcast, Anna Smith.

She said that typically cringy lines are overused in movies but are rarely used in real life: “It might feel so unlikely and clichéd that it jars the viewer.”

We can guess that the writers who wrote these lines likely didn’t intend to make viewers cringe – they maybe just wanted to joke a little bit or create a powerful saying.

Anna explained that these kinds of lines tend to take the audience out of a story and might even make them turn it off: “I have to watch films all the way through for my job as a film critic, but if I was watching a movie for fun, a cringy line might make me lose trust and interest in the film -- and it might make me wary that a whole lot more cringy lines were probably coming!”

edit: Bonus points whenever a sci-fi film does one of these demonstration scenes, and they grab something that the person listening is either actively using—i.e., a coffee mug, pen, etc.—or that makes them go “hey c’mon!”

The film critic thinks that people are now more attuned to cringy sexist talk in movies, like romantic gestures that are actually more patronizing to women: “These will probably leap out if you watch films from the 70s, 80s or even 90s.”

Anna said that she finds it cringe when movie characters overuse names, as it isn’t realistic. Well, as we said in the beginning, it’s hard to balance realism and fakeness. Sometimes, even the best effort to do that doesn’t work out as we anticipate, and the line you thought would be in a list of powerful cinema phrases ends up in a list of cringy ones.

After all, cringe is an inevitable part of life, as it’s simply a physiological reaction. So, as Taylor Swift said in her NYU commencement speech, we need to “learn to live alongside cringe,” as it’s way better than beating yourself up for the rest of your life.

Therefore, let’s embrace these cringy movie lines and turn them into something entertaining instead of embarrassing.

What are some lines from movies that make you cringe?

POST

Helena 7 months ago (edited)

Anytime an atheist character 'sees the light' or has a 'maybe there is a god' moment. It isn't going to happen. That isn't a typical thing. Honestly anytime there is an atheist character I cringe, because at some point someone of some religion is going to 'influence' them into some heart warming 'look at them believe' moment, and like no. in real life that atheist is going to look you in the face and tell you to knock it off. There are absolutely atheists in foxholes. Or they're atheist because of some ridiculous tragic backstory, as opposed to how it normally occurs. Or they make the atheist amoral, because apparently the only way you can be good is to be religious, which is just stupid. Like religion hasn't led to genocide, crusades, persecution.

"Or they're atheist because of some ridiculous tragic backstory, as opposed to how it normally occurs." You reminded me of the time a couple of years ago when a couple of middle-aged women came to my door. One had a Bible in her hand and asked the usual 'do you have a few minutes to talk about the Good News?'. I said yes, but added that they'd be wasting everyone's time because I'm atheist. The Bible-carrier put on a really fake sympathetic voice and said 'Oh, you poor thing; what happened to cause that'? I just smiled, pointed at her Bible and said 'I read that'. They left.

We used to play a drinking game of watching old movies on TV. Whenever a character said "the boy," you had to take a drink. It's past time to expand this to be gender-inclusive, and it bothers me that I didn't think of it in the first place.

For me it's the needlessly long explanation. "How did you get it working?" "Well, at first I thought it might be a clogged frangipane hose, but I checked them all. Nothing. So then I adjusted the time-space transponder belt; that usually works but not this time. Not even twitching the flinglehopper did any good. Then I remembered: the power switch needs to be in the ON position. Once I flipped it, the power came right up."

Haha! Excellent pastiche! You should be a scriptwriter - that would get a belly laugh out of me in a movie. Though I don't think such explanations are unrealistic - I think people write them because it's so common in a workplace. You have to make sure everyone knows how hard you're working, after all.

Using "UNCONSCIOUSLY" when the writers clearly meant "subconsciously". Rarely gets caught. Bonus points of the person saying it is a psychologist, scientist, or supposedly learned human

This used to annoy me till I looked it up. Both have been widely used for as long as psychology has been around - unconscious came from people translating from German (Unbewusstes), subconscious from French (subconscient).

Every motor racing movie. There's always a point when the good guy says something like "Time to hunt" or something, makes a huge dramatic up-shift (that would possibly destroy the gearbox) and immediately goes twice as fast as the other cars that have pretty much the same horsepower. The don't include the part where his race engineer freaks out on the radio- "WTF ARE YOU DOING? WERE YOU NOT IN TOP GEAR JUST SO YOU COULD MAKE A DRAMATIC UP-SHIFT? YOU ARE SO FIRED!

From 'Armageddon', when the shuttle arrives back and Sharp meets Grace on the runway, salutes her (unnecessarily, since she's a civilian) and says "Colonel Willie Sharp, United States Air Force, requesting permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I ever met." Or, same movie, Grace to AJ: 'Do You think anybody else in the world is doing this right now?' AJ to Grace: 'I hope so, else what are we trying to save?' Cringe worthy in itself, but even worse considering that what they were doing right then was AJ putting Animal Crackers in Grace's panties, which I feel sure nobody else on Earth was doing, ever did or ever will do. That said, Armageddon is a constant stream of cringiness, cliché, and terrible science from start to end.

"It's the neutrinos: they're evolving'! (2012) That, from a supposed physicist, and accepted by another supposed physicist, when the correct response should have been 'What the Hell are you blathering on about? Fundamental particles CANNOT AND DO NOT evolve, you idiot.' That was the only movie I have ever walked out on, and after only 5 minutes, too.

In Avengers: Endgame, when Spiderman gives the glove to Captain Marvel and tells her something like "how are you going to do it alone" and then the other women (which by coincidence are there together) say "she is not alone". Look, the girl power moment is fine but you cannot do it with one of characters that DO NOT NEED HELP (or barely need it) because it looks silly and forced.

I can't remember the movie, it was like a b-level or c-level shark movie on Amazon like Sand Sharks or something. Anyway it's fairly normal lines so far then a man and woman are talking and the guy drops the line something like "how about we go back to you place and I eat your pu$$y" just completely out of the blue. It was one of the most out of the place lines I've heard on these type of movies, was different from the regular shark puns. And I've watched a lot of these bad shark movies.

Any movie using a game of chess as a plot device: Character A: "Check" Character B: "CheckMATE!" Character A: *Shocked Pikachu Face*. In chess, this is almost IMPOSSIBLE. You have a better chance of getting struck by lighting WHILE a shark is eating you, and also you have a winning lottery ticket in your pocket.

No one goes to the toilet. No one says a line from a different film, you know that we’d use a line like ‘You’re going to need a bigger boat’ or ‘Houston we have a problem’ or ‘Say hello to my little friend’, why don’t regular folks in films use them? And then my favourite, hand the lead woman an automatic weapon, it jams as soon as they use it, every other firearm is in tip top condition, hers? Jams.

When people constantly wait for the other person to stop speaking. No one ever has a speech impediment, no one talks over the other person, no one says something and the other person says “what” and they have to repeat themselves not because they didn’t believe it but because they just didn’t hear them properly. Just stupid stuff really

( proceeds to continue endangering themselves and others just to look like a hero) No, you have already shown that your decision-making skills are awful.
