Re: Secondhand embarrassment in media

[intrigueing]

Alllllll the time.

It's mostly from unintentionally cringeworthy stuff where it's just so painfully obvious the writer genuinely thinks this thing s/he wrote is Really Cool and Badass but it's just so utterly grating and dumb instead that I have to turn off the TV to avoid dying of shame.

But I have a weird relationship with cringe comedy: some of it I love, some I literally cannot bear to watch. Even in the same show -- there are certain scenes of 30 Rock and Frasier that I CANNOT watch, whereas other equally-embarrassing scenes make my cackle.

I'm like that too with Frasier. I like most of it, but there's a few spots in a couple episodes where one of the characters is being so pathetic that I have to turn it off. Happens with a lot of sitcoms for me.

Frasier was exactly what I thought of when I saw this topic, but I had already mentioned it here in a similar past thread. Lots of sitcoms, but that one in particular had a habit of making me kind of want to cry for everyone involved instead of laugh at them.

Honestly, for television, I mostly just spoil myself for what happens next, and then it's usually okay. For some reason, what bothers me about second-hand embarrassment is the fear - knowing that this person is going to fuck up but not knowing how they're going to do it, the specific nature of what's going on. That tension just kills me. So a lot of the time, yeah, I'll just read through recaps or whatever while I'm watching something. And that makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Actually, I do this for tense drama shows as well. I guess I just really don't like tension in my entertainment? IDK.
