People like to cringe; otherwise, "The Office" wouldn't be one of the most-watched shows in TV history. But cringing sometimes goes hand in hand with another emotion, and it's not laughter. Some events may start out as delightfully cringy, but end up being only awkwardly sad.
To celebrate these times, Bored Panda brings you the newest compilation of posts from the Internet's favorite "Sad Cringe" subreddit. It's a community dedicated to awkward and embarrassing screenshots that suddenly take an unfortunate and sad turn. "Cringing until you're sad," their bio reads, so, let's do just that, Pandas, shall we?
