Memes are fantastic. It’s crazy to think how an image and a few words can have you laughing out loud. The best thing about memes, along with being funny, is that they relate to any subject. Some memes are topical while others poke fun at famous movies or TV series. There is almost nothing that can’t be turned into a meme. But not all memes are hilarious. There are cringe memes that will have you shaking your head in mild disgust.
Cringe memes, like any type of meme, can be about anything, but will usually have you wondering why? They are often silly or stupid and fall more in the dad joke category. Some are also offensive or unbelievably dumb. Think Curb Your Enthusiasm as a meme and you had a good idea of what a cringe meme is. If you’re still not sure, read on below and have a giggle at these 20 cringe memes.
1. I’m Not Afraid

This is about as cringe as it gets. Combining The Grudge with Eminem lyrics is funny though. In a stupid-funny way.

This meme is both unsavory and cringy. Good use of CSI Miami though.
