Binge watching sex and the city thanks to a horrendous cold.

The jukes and mimi viewing between Miranda and Robert is hilariously cringeworthy but also v v funny...

"GEORGE BUSH HATES BLACK PEOPLE" Myers face was amazing.

What about when Sharon Osbourne was drunk on the Xtra Factor years ago, embarrassing.

Or anything to do with Sharon Osbourne.

Oh my goodness I remember watching the proposal live, it was awful. I felt unwell all day, he was not happy Confused

what happened next in the Little Britain sketch?!

The policemen who told the wrong person her husband was dead? They then went to the right house, to break the news... heavy silence while it sank in. Then a few seconds later, one of them chuckles and says "you know it's funny, a few minutes ago we went to the wrong house..."

Not funny at all!

When chumbawumba soaked John Prescott at the Brits.
When Richard madeley did Ali g. Judy's groan!

Also one time on this morning a caller had to guess what colour judys pats were, said off white/ grey and Judy looked offended.

And britneys mtv performance when she was out of it and couldn't dance.

Jade Goody on bb bless her.

whitershadeofpale · 12/10/2016 08:24

Nothing can beat the first ever kiss at the alter.

pictish · 12/10/2016 08:24

I wonder if the proposal couple got married in the end? Would love to know how that panned out. I'm assume he pulled out but you never know.
I have seldom seen anything to devastatingly cringeworthy in my life.

pictish · 12/10/2016 08:24

The Jarvis stage bombing has just cheered me right up! (It's at 5.10 not 3.10!)

YvaineStormhold · 12/10/2016 09:13

That Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence clip has made me sad.

They were both young and gorgeous and dead a few years later. And then her daughter too. What a bloody mess they made of everything Sad

LurkingHusband · 12/10/2016 09:27

Does anyone remember the lady that played Ivy Tilsley - was it Lynne Perrie? - on The Word, years ago? I cringe myself into spasm when I remember what she did with a naked bloke...

The Word was a universe unto itself Grin

I didn't see the clip you are referring to when it aired. But I have seen it on a "Worst TV moments" type show Shock

Along with a clip from another "edgy" show (so almost guaranteed to be Ch4) where a woman was presented with 3 doors, and when opened each door revealed a real life penis - the standout Hmm moment being one had been decorated with a pair of specs. I think there was some jape about the victim woman recognising her boyfriend "in disguise".

Any episode of "Eurotrash" ?

Didijustgetwinkpointshitcanned · 12/10/2016 09:29

Oh god that proposal! He's horrified, she's oblivious. I'm still cringing.

Purplepicnic · 12/10/2016 09:31

"GEORGE BUSH HATES BLACK PEOPLE" Myers face was amazing.

Oh God, yes!!

Kanye West - king of cringeworthy moments.

Judy Finnegan interviewing Ffyona Campbell. For those who don't remember, she was this very hoorah Henry woman who came on at Live Aid to announce she was walking across the globe for charity. She popped up on documentaries and in the press every few years - then it came out she'd taken lifts across part of Africa when pregnant. Judy interviews her after the scandal breaks and blurts out 'I was surprised, because you always seemed so driven'. Worst possible choice of words!

Another Richard and Judy one - when they asked Anna Chancellor why her character in Four Weddings and a Funeral was called Duckface, and she, not realising it was live, replies 'I think originally it was supposed to be Fuckface!' Grin

Didn't Keith Chegwin/Les Dennis do a naked gameshow??

Whitecovers · 12/10/2016 10:06

When Ryan seacrest high fives a blind man on American Idol, it makes me want to wither away.

JoffreyBaratheon · 12/10/2016 10:09

I'm currently cringing at that car insurance (? I forget) ad with James Corden driving through green lights in London (or somewhere). I hate the fact some 12 year old ad man has decided playing a Marc Bolan track over it will somehow leak coolness onto the repellent Corden and just his smarminess. Actually makes me do something way, way beyond cringe. Something there is no word for.

KondosSecretJunkRoom · 12/10/2016 10:16

Grin whiter , that kiss! Grin

MarklahMarklah · 12/10/2016 10:17

Oh, the end bit of this

warning - video editor has put in a flashing image bit

MaQueen · 12/10/2016 10:17

Gary Barlow and Cheryl Cole's duet at the Queen's Golden Jubilee. She was hopelessly out of tune and he was glaring at her all the way through.

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 12/10/2016 10:17

Brass Eye, Richard Blackwood sniffing the keyboard

massistar · 12/10/2016 10:21

Gosh, can't believe that Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence one was on breakfast TV, the sexual tension between them is palpable!

So sad though how things turned out for them..

maddiemookins16mum · 12/10/2016 10:22

Paul McCartney at any big event (LImpics etc), closely followed by Elton Wrong. I also cringe when Mel and Sue do the "sandwich hug" with whatever poor person has been voted off GBBO, it makes me cringe.

TaterTots · 12/10/2016 10:26

JoffreyBaratheon - Oh God yes. I want to smash the TV every time the bulbous, bug-eyed prat comes on.

(Gary Numan track by the way Grin)
