Community: 10 Most Cringeworthy Moments

1. Star-crossed Cousins - Wedding Videography

Ending this list on a surprisingly positive note as the cringe factor here may be turned up to an ear-shattering eleven, solely in the name of comedy, we have this little gem from the penultimate episode of the series. An episode which shines a spotlight and maintains an inundated focus on such a lacklustre character: Garrett.

Not only Garrett, but his betrothed cousin, Stacey, too. And for anyone who understands the word betrothed, you probably believe that it was a mistake to insert it into that sentence, but rest assured, as unbelievable as it may seem, it's no mistake.

As the episode mostly revolves around the - no longer studying - study group, we don't receive too much build-up surrounding the events that occur later. Instead, we get a few shots that supply context for the episode (Garrett's proposition, invitations to the wedding, etc.). So, when the most unexpected of twists does materialise out of nowhere, it's absolutely shocking - and a little grotesque - to witness something with so much insipidness that it could put you off marriage for life.

As Garrett and Stacey realise they actually have more in common than they first thought, as they share the same grandmother/aunt, it (understandably) derails the wedding, but only momentarily until Chang of all people resurrects the passion in the two.

We're sure they went on to have many babies with not so many fingers.
