Cringe comedy is a specific genre of comedy that derives humor from social awkwardness. Often a cringe comedy will have an air of a mockumentary and revolve around a serious setting, such as a workplace, to lend the comedy a sense of reality. The protagonists are typically egotists who overstep the boundaries of political correctness and break social norms. Then the comedy will attack the protagonist by not letting them become aware of their self- centered view, or by making them oblivious to the ego-deflation that the comedy deals them.

Members of London's "Egotists' Club" are telling stories of odd things that happened to them, when one of the member's guests, a cinema actor named Varden, relates that he was invited to model for a wealthy sculptor, Eric Loder, and spent several months at Loder's New York mansion. A few years later, after the war, Loder invited Varden back to New York, and Varden noticed that Loder's mistress, Maria Moranno, had disappeared, though a life-size gilded sculpture of her now occupied the living room. One night, Varden was wakened by a "funny-looking man" wearing a monocle, who told him his life was in danger. For explanation, the man smashed the arm of the "statue" with a fireplace poker, and Varden saw a human arm bone beneath the gold plating.
