Community: 10 Most Cringeworthy Moments

10. Britta Tells Jeff How She Feels - Pascal's Triangle Revisited

Community is a show that sincerely strives to unhinge its audience, if not outright alienate them from the outset. The translation of this comes in that of a rather innocuous cringeworthy moment, and yes, it will be the only time you cringe at something whose whole reason of being isn't to perpetuate teeth-gritting embarrassment.

Just regular old embarrassment in this case.

The cringe-induced moment here comes in Pascal's Triangle Revisited, occurring when Britta remarks "I love you" to Jeff across a severely crowded college dance, leaving the guy who's more handsome than the guy who's famous for being handsome (which isn't a bad title to have) feeling singled out as he is unmoved by the declaration of love.

The embarrassment felt for Britta in this scene comes from a very real place for most of us, as almost everybody has had that feeling of love which was not reciprocated by those that we've become attached to. The moment feels veraciously earth-shattering for Britta while subverting our expectations ingeniously.
