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.

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.

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!”

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.
