|
|
"The Last Movie Star" takes a turn from cringeworthy fish-out-of-water comedy into anodyne sentimentality when Vic and his incongruously dressed driver, Lil (Ariel Winter) — a goth aspiring artist whose sketches were contributed by the "Hellraiser" director Clive Barker — escape to Vic's hometown Knoxville, where he makes peace with his past.

Cringeworthy is a scientific (but personable) exploration of a specific human quirk in the vein of Mary Roach or Malcolm Gladwell, offering a number of sharp insights into what we mean when we call ourselves "awkward," and what we mean when we call other people "awkward" (and yes, it's far more complimentary when we use it on ourselves).

Blame school textbooks with details often so abridged, softened or out of context that they are ultimately made false; children's books that simplify the story to its most pleasant version; or animated television specials like "The Mouse on the Mayflower," which first aired in 16213, that not only misinformed a generation, but also enforced a slew of cringeworthy stereotypes.

|
|
As spotted in interviews and appearances over the years—including a cringeworthy, jive-talkin' spot on BET—this is a sort of post-Norman Mailer's "White Negro," proto- Rachel Dolezal hybrid; a down-ass, semi-post-racial brotherman with no qualms about mixing it with the big boys ("I don't back down, especially to big black guys," he boasted to Playboy in 2003).
|
|
While TV writers themselves will occasionally build a scene around a specific song, like The Office's cringeworthy "Life Is a Highway" road trip montage in season five, for the most part, a music supervisor works with a show's producers and writers to come up with song choices that fit scenes, illustrate the emotions of characters, and help create the desired atmosphere.
|
|
Watching an interloper (who claims to love punk whilst shitting on literally everything it stands for) stride in and embarass himself by insulting someone who represents decades of blood, sweat, stitches, and hard fucking work is cringeworthy at best, and a damning example of why it's been so shitty watching high-end fashion brands (and even fast fashion emporiums like H&M) co-opt underground subcultures.
|
|
Although portions of the show are a bit outdated and cringeworthy—like when Carrie dated a bisexual guy and prodded him with questions as if he was an alien, or when Samantha dated a black guy and suddenly started to incorporate new slang into her everyday lingo—I look forward to sharing this show with my future daughter on a random summer afternoon some day.
|
|
And Iñárritu, who won best director for the second year running, used his speech to make a well-intentioned but cringeworthy plea for color blindness: May "the color of our skin become as irrelevant as the length of our hair," he said as strains of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries—this year's hilariously ill-considered "get off the stage" music—built steam behind him.
|
|
Using vivid and nuanced prose, Wiener recounts cringeworthy meetings with managers who question her capabilities, colleagues who worry more about their company's reputation than the growing homeless encampments on San Francisco's streets, and casual workplace sexism — like a male colleague keeping a list of women in the office ranked by their looks — that she's afraid to confront for fear of being designated a feminist killjoy.

Not only did Allen's catty description of Mary's affair with the much older John Barrymore when she was 17 make for very uncomfortable reading, the creepily outdated lens that Allen turns on Mary (in just one of many examples, as, say, one who subjected her boyfriends to a "trial by mattress that seems to trip up certain men" in her life) was also cringeworthy.

|
There's something mildly impersonal about this; whereas Peloton shines in the instructors bringing the boutique workout experience into your home by engaging personally with students, talking about their day, cracking jokes, or even pushing themselves to the point where they're as out of breath as you are, the Tonal classes feel a bit robotic and rehearsed to the point where some of the script come across as cringeworthy.

Sometimes they were deliberately awkward, like when guidance counselor Mr. Rosso (Dave Allen) busts out an acoustic guitar to connect with his students over their shared love of Alice Cooper, or when Andopolis busts one out to serenade Lindsay Weir with his Pete Townshend-inspired cheesy love song, "Lady L." One excruciatingly cringeworthy moment sees the goodie-goodie Christian girl Millie (Sarah Hagan) playing the Doobie Brothers' "Jesus Is Just Alright" on a piano at a party to prove to her peers that sobriety can be fun.
