10. Lipless' Song - Guardians Of The Galaxy
Look, there's nothing wrong with a bit of cringe. Parks and Rec, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Office have entertained millions of viewers with their embarrassing humour.
However, it's tricky to find the right balance with this shtick, as can be seen in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. For the most part, the banter has the correct level of awkwardness. But there's one exchange that's unbearable to watch.
Depending on your actions while arriving at Mantlo's bar, an alien called Lipless pulls a gun on Star-Lord. If you steer the conversation in a certain direction, Lipless will start singing out-of-tune, while our space hero feebly attempts to improvise some lyrics. Although this sequence is meant to be intentionally cringey, you're not laughing with the characters or at them. In fact, you're not laughing at all, since this sequence isn't clever or witty.
When the song starts to wind down after a minute, you're relieved this uncomfortable scene is over.
Without warning, Lipless starts up again, carrying on with his ridiculous melody for another two minutes. When Rocket asks the bartender for a cocktail stick to "poke my ears out," you feel the same way.
If you think this song isn't that bad, try listening to it on Streaming Mode, which replaces all licensed music with... unbearable silence.
