Pics We Can’t Stop Cringing At
The internet is full of cute photos, touching photos, sweet photos, and awe-inspiring photos. These are not those photos. These are the photos that make you squirm in your seat because they're just too cringey to handle.
Keep reading to encounter some ultimate cringe. Prepare yourself. Things are about to get really awkward.
Their First Dance
These two young folks are heading off to their first school dance. We're not sure if he's overdressed or if she's underdressed.
That hug is unfortunate, though. She looks uncomfortable.
Always The Third Wheel
This guy thought he had it made in the shade when the girl of his dreams asked him to put her on his shoulders at a party.
Then this happened. Poor guy.
Photoshopped, But Still
This picture is obviously photoshopped.
Even so, we're still cringing at the thought of sliding at full speed onto a giant cheese grater. Some things are better left un-photoshopped. This is one of those things.
The Worst Pregnancy Photoshoot
Whoever thought that this photoshoot would be a good idea is seriously disturbed. What are those two people looking for down there, anyway?
The baby isn't crowing yet. Get up off the floor.
That Shouldn't Be Allowed
The person who posted this picture captioned it, "just finished working out.
Now I gotta reward my body." Ketchup on bananas should never be referred to as a reward. This is gross.
Stop It, Walmart
Walmart thinks they're being cute with that "choccy moo moo juice" and "chicky nuggies."
That's not cute, Walmart. Just stop it. Nobody likes this absurd baby talk. Just call it chocolate milk and chicken nuggets.
This Actually Exists
The kind of person who shops at this store looks exactly like you think he looks.
He's on the heavier side, he has a neckbeard, he lives in his mom's basement, and he says the word "actually" a lot.
Flirting In The Open
Flirting on Facebook is pretty shameless. It's even more shameless to flirt on a photo that somebody posted of their new haircut. Jeez guys, get a room!
Also, that haircut is not so good.
The Worst Way To Propose
What's the trashiest way to propose that you can think of?
Now crank that trashy factor up to 11 and you've got this situation. Yes, that is a ring in a burger.
A Cheese Dress
We're not sure why this happened or how all of those American singles are sticking to her body.
All we know is that this picture is on the internet now, so there's that.
He's A Teen Now
When this kid turned 13, he had a teenager photoshoot.
He was leaving his pre-teen life behind and starting anew as a rock and roll teenager who likes to hang out on train tracks.
Do It For The Band
These girls thought they were going to be the next big thing in punk.
They took this photo so they could use it for the cover of their first album.
Now That's Dedication
This person must love the Starbucks brand a heck of a lot if she was willing to get literally branded with its logo.
This is a whole new kind of dedication to coffee.
When You Commit Hard To The Rave Theme
This person heard that the party was going to have a rave theme, and he committed hard. Look at that neon face paint!
The rest of the partygoers weren't as enthusiastic.
What Is Even Happening?
Joe Biden is the kind of person who likes to bite fingers, apparently. He doesn't care if he's in front of cameras or if there are people watching.
However you feel about politics, this picture is the definition of cringe.
She's So Artsy
This girl posted this picture of herself playing the guitar with the caption, "Therapy session."
One commenter was quick to point out that she's actually holding the guitar upside down.
Poor Lotus Placement
We're all for creative designs on leggings and other clothing items, but you have to be careful with the pattern placement.
This lotus ended up in a place where lotuses should never be.
A Little Help From Mom
This guy wanted to show off his gains, but he couldn't take this picture himself because he needed to hold his giant arms behind his head.
He got his mom to step up to the plate.
Do You Think He's Compensating For Something?
Do you think they sell "car balls," or did this guy fashion those balls himself? If he did, she should patent and sell those things.
There have to be other incredibly cringey gearheads out there.
Poor Lance
This photo was posted on Twitter by Lance Armstrong himself. He was playing Cards Against Humanity when somebody played this white card.
That's a low blow. At least he was a good sport about it.
Gas Fight!
We've seen Zoolander enough times to know exactly what's going to happen in this situation.
The photographer had better get out of there fast before a real gas fight breaks out.
I Don't Even Know You
I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but nobody wants to see your chest hair.
Keep that stuff to yourself. Maybe if you're lucky your romantic partner will tolerate it.
Poor Megan Finger
This girl's name is Megan Finger. At her university, they make student emails by using the first two letters of someone's first name and their full last name.
That's how Megan got this unfortunate ID.
This Is A Virgin
This kid was minding his own business, drinking a smoothie when his mom snapped a picture and posted it on Facebook.
Then, chaos ensued. Everybody should clean up their thoughts and let this kid live.
Birthday Selfie
This girl's birthday went totally off the rails, but at least she has loving supportive friends who— oh, actually never mind.
Her friends are super cringey. We hope she's okay!
A Kids' Nightclub
There is a nightclub somewhere in the world that specifically caters to kids under 18 years of age.
These are the photos that were taken in that night club. Is anybody else super uncomfortable?
Couple Goals?
Remember when Facebook looked like this? Ah, the memories. Also, remember when couples were super cringey on Facebook all the time?
We think these two lovebirds take the first place cringe prize.
Check Before You Stalk
This teacher was casually stalking one of his students on Facebook, and then he hooked up his computer to the class projector without closing his browser.
This is going to be a hard one to live down.
Best Friends
This man is wearing a shirt with his dog's face on it, and his dog is wearing a shirt with his face on it.
If these two aren't hashtag best friend goals, we don't know what is.
They Forgot They Had The Flash On
Upon seeing actress Chloe Grace Moretz at a restaurant, this person wanted to have photographic proof to show their friends.
Unfortunately, the flash made their photo a little less than stealthy.
I Hate It I Hate It I Hate It
Let me be clear:
I hate the idea of a person purposely licking any toilet seat, but I feel like doing it as a #trend in an airplane makes it worse on so many levels.
He May Have Lied About His Strength
When she asked to climb on his shoulders, he didn't want to say no so he said he was strong enough to manage it.
However, after a few minutes, you can see the regret on his face.
That Is A Real Person's Foot
This person made the mistake of wearing a wet boot with a hole in it for over 10 hours.
When they finally took their foot out, it looked like this. Yikes.
I'd Like To Apologize To Guitarists Everywhere
I don't care if this was done as a joke — anyone who plays guitar can feel pain in their soul just looking at this absolute monstrosity.
It will haunt my dreams.
But It Was So Perfect!
I have no doubt in my mind that it took the artist behind this chalkboard drawing hours to finish this masterpiece, only for it to be erased in a minute.
It's tragic.
Yeah, Cheating Is The Perfect Gift...
Cheating as a gift, in general, seems like the most awful and bizarre thing that you could buy for a significant other, but for Christmas—the most wholesome holiday?
For shame.
I Can't Imagine How That Smells
Most people have experienced a tangled head of hair a few times in their life, but I have never seen something like this.
You'd need hedge clippers to cut that mess off.
I Mean, At Least You Didn't Have To Abstain From Pizza
The health education curriculum in this country is spotty at best—and non-existent at worst—so an abstinence card seems very viable.
At least the kids got to take advantage of a BOGO pizza deal!
This Aged Like Milk
Hindsight truly is 20/20.
I'm sure this young man wishes that he could appear to his past self and tell him that these two men are not ones you want to be associated with.
Never Too Young For Fleeked Out Nails Apparently
I understand being bored and doing this, but really? There's no way this is comfortable at all for the baby.
Plus babies are so uncoordinated I'd be worried about this kid scratching their eye out.
What's The End Goal Here?
The longer you look at this concoction, the more questions you're going to come up with.
It was supposed to be a take on a "hot chick" except that chicken is definitely raw, and you can't bake a Barbie head, so who knows what the plan is for this.
That Will Be A Problem Later
It's not necessarily a huge problem for your takeoff, but it's quickly going to become a problem when you have to skid into your landing without anything to land on.
It won't be comfortable.
Actually Kind Of Iconic
Say what you will but I kind of love this. It's refreshing in a world where there's so much period stigma that even commercials use this weird blue liquid to show absorbancy.
Party on Brooke.
He Shouldn't Have Skipped The Orientation
We'd ask if he came here often, but we already have our answer based on how he's using this machine.
It's unclear what muscles he was trying to work here, but whatever the goal was, he didn't succeed.
Seconds Before The Splash
If the photographer managed to capture the aftermath of this photo, there's a 0% chance that the bride is still smiling.
The groom probably wasn't too happy either because he's in the splash zone.
Time To Cancel That Card
This girl is quickly going to learn that she shouldn't trust strangers on the internet who ask questions about her debit card.
Unfortunately, that's a lesson she's going to have to learn the expensive way.
Say No More
I really can't tell if she's joking or really just this deep in the vegan stereotype. I'm inclined to say the latter though if she's getting this permanently tattooed on her brow.
Probably the only place that will hire her now is a vegan health food store.
This Will Not End Well
There are plenty of people out there in the world whose heads are filled with great ideas, but this man is not one of them.
There's no way that this will end well for him.
Coming Back For Seconds
It looks like this cat has already taken a few swipes at her shirt, yet she was willing to give it a second chance despite that!
She probably regrets that now...
Take The Stairs
If we were to get in an elevator and see all of these buttons on the elevator panel, we'd immediately be getting back out.
That is way too complicated; we'll stick to the stairs instead.
This Cookie Deserved Better
If you're looking for a way to make a chocolate chip cookie taste as bad as possible, you should brush your teeth right before you eat that.
The combo of the orange juice and toothpaste will really hit it home.
Katie Was Too Clever For Him
He thought he was smart, but Katie was smarter.
Hopefully he'll be able to find some other nice girl that will fall for his tricks and get sucked into saying yes to going to prom with him.
