For this weeks post I wanted to research how actors and actresses take on the comedic cringe role within tv shows and movies. I researched what role they partake in and how they are able to withhold their character. The website, allthetrophies.oraine.org gives a outline of what cringe comedy is through tv.
"A big trend in modern TV comedy: shows where the humor mostly comes from placing characters in the most embarrassing situations possible, or having them say the most awkward or offensive thing possible at all times. Often uses documentary feel to heighten the naturalism and increase the cringe, or has actors in character interacting with an unsuspecting public. Comedy you have to watch through the gaps between your fingers."
