cringe comedy
Cringe comedy is a specific genre of comedy that derives humor from social awkwardness. Often a cringe comedy will have an air of mockumentary and revolve around a serious setting, such as a workplace, to lend the comedy a sense of reality. It could be argued, therefore, that the film ''This Is Spinal Tap'' (1984) was a forerunner of cringe comedy.〔See page 18 of Fairclough-Isaacs, K. (2014). Documentary's awkward turn: cringe comedy and media spectatorship, by Jason Middleton: New York, Routledge, 2014, 185 pp, ISBN 978-0415721073 (hardback). Comedy Studies, 5(2), 207-208.〕
The protagonists are typically egotists who overstep the boundaries of political correctness and break social norms. Then the comedy will attack the protagonist by not letting them become aware of their self-centered view, or by making them oblivious to the ego-deflation that the comedy deals them. Sometimes however an unlikeable protagonist may not suffer any consequences, which violates our moral expectations, and also make the audience cringe.
==Theory==
Humor theorist Noël Carroll explains humour in relation to incongruity theory and annoyance: "Imagine the cutlery laid out for a formal dinner. Suppose that the salad fork is in the wrong place. If you are the sort of person who is disturbed by such deviations from the norm, you will not be capable of finding this amusing. On the other hand if you are more easy-going about such matters and also aware of the incongruity, it may elicit a chuckle. That is, you may find the error amusing or not. But if you find it genuinely amusing you cannot find it annoying."
This mutual exclusivity with annoyance can explain the divisiveness of cringe comedy.
