      It’s cringe pretending to be humor.

      Same. If you want some actually laugh out loud hilarious cringe humor, I highly recommend Peep Show with Mitchell and Webb.

        I will never forget the dog episode. This show was singed in my mind. Also a favorite of mine.

          I love how you can just say the dog episode and everyone who’s seen the show knows exactly what you mean

        The original UK version of The Office is pretty good too.

          The British will always win at police procedural/mystery/dramas and deadpan comedies.

      Loved the original, but US remake has just all the corners filed and padded.

        The British original was even worse! I don’t want to feel bad when watching a comedy!

            I feel this for some British comedy shows. I love British comedies like IT Crowd, Black Books, Fleabag. But man, those shows that think making people cringe really hard is funny like the original Office doesn’t do it for me.

              They’re meant to be more funny in a sense that you can relate to them as you’ve been in such situations and can now have the catharsis that you’re not alone in those experiences. And as people usually do with such situations that are awful in the moment, you laugh at them in hindsight.

              That’s the intention of such cringe humour. Maybe the ones you listed have elements that relate more to your life than the ones you dislike? Or maybe they remind you of moments where the above just cannot apply to your emotional experience of them, and so they cannot be funny.
