What would be considered cringe differs from one person to another; in fact, most people who end up doing cringey things initially think they were being cool and "different," but it's rarely the case. What's cringey to you might not necessarily bothersome to everyone; it all depends on what their idea of comedy is.

When you're not famous, you can do cringey things every day without getting any backlash because you don't have an audience that watches your every move. It's easy to judge celebrities from the very few interactions we've had with them, but it won't be accurate because they might be completely different people behind the camera.

However, some celebrities just feel off; the way they talk and behave gives you weird vibes, and anything they do feels infuriating. Especially when there is tons of concrete proof against them so you can't even give them the benefit of the doubt.

A Redditor who goes by the username u/Eat_Train_Code_IN made a post on the r/AskReddit subReddit and asked the community the following question: "Who is the cringiest celebrity?" The user got a lot of interesting replies to their question. Scroll down to check out the original post and the replies.

Here's the original Reddit post by u/Eat_Train_Code_IN:

1. James Corden

"He's apparently quite the prick behind the scene, mistreating his writers, being a douche to people he perceives as lower (restaurant servers, etc.), his jokes are generally unfunny, and Cats."

—u/MistressGravity

"I can’t get that video of him pelvic thrusting while wearing a mouse costume out of my head. I think I need therapy."

—u/JoyRideinaMinivan

2. Demi Lovato

"I don’t wanna hate on them for being mistreated by Disney and their subsequent mental health and substance abuse problems, but I didn’t like them from the very beginning. Like back in the Disney Channel days. Cringe actor, and their music’s just not good, which is sad because they have an incredible voice, but they’re just wasting it on making shit music."

—u/ProstHund

"When you start singing to ghosts who 'suffered from sexism,' that makes me lean toward the side of attention-grabbing virtue signaling."

—u/ChunkyDay

"Recently saw a headline that said, “Demi Lovato Serenades ‘Ghost’ Who Faced Trauma From Sexism, Receives ‘Floating’ Ovation,” and I could not believe it was real. They make other people who actually suffer from these problems look like absolute fools."

—u/toothpastenachos

3. Wendy Williams

"⁠⁠She basically told Jennifer Lawrence that her nudes being leaked was a good thing and she shouldn’t be upset because it made her famous. ⁠She asked Kesha why she wasn’t recording herself being sexually assaulted. She made fun of Terry Crews after he came on Good Morning America and said he was assaulted. What makes it worse is that her audience applauds this disgusting behavior."

—u/KaptainKhorisma

4. Gal Gadot

"Whoever instigated that horrible 'Imagine' sing-along at the beginning of the pandemic. Erghhh."

—u/Pythia007

5. Ellen DeGeneres

"Every time she is brought up, I tell this story to show how much of a garbage person she is. A few years ago, she had Mariah Carey on the show. Mariah had recently found out she was pregnant, but it was way too early to say anything, since complications happen a lot early on. Ellen found out about this and decided to make her spill the story on her show. So she brings up her pregnancy, and Mariah denies it and awkwardly laughs. You can tell she's not happy about Ellen saying it, but puts on a professional demeanor nonetheless...until Ellen says, 'Well, why don't we celebrate you not being pregnant with wine?' and hands her a full glass of wine, coaxing her to drink...which she obviously doesn't do and proves Ellen right. The worst part is, not long after the interview, Mariah miscarried."

6. Jake Paul

"I didn't pay attention to this dude for years, and then I googled him again and saw the interview he had with TommyInnit. I think he got worse over time..."

—u/Bighsigh

7. Chrissy Teigen

"It was so nice when she 'took a break' from social media (aka was too embarrassed to actually face the fact that the tables were turned on her after the whole bullying thing), and I hate to see her back. I honestly don’t know how her husband, who otherwise seems very nice and normal, puts up with someone like her."

—u/crazycatlady6990

8. DJ Khaled

"All he does is say his own name. The guy's a Pokémon."

—u/smol_boi-_-

9. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly

"They're like an early-2000s emo couple who are trying to be edgy — it's hard to watch."

—u/Wobbleflopper

"They remind me of a couple of 15-year-olds who desperately want their friend group to know they've had sex!"

—u/ThatNordicGuy

10. Chris Pratt

"They're like an early-2000s emo couple who are trying to be edgy — it's hard to watch."

—u/Wobbleflopper

"They remind me of a couple of 15-year-olds who desperately want their friend group to know they've had sex!"

—u/ThatNordicGuy

11. The Kardashian-Jenner Family

"All I hear about the Kardashians is why they shouldn't be famous. I've never met anyone who actually liked them. This might be a stretch, but honestly, I feel like if people stopped hating them, they'd lose, like, half their fame."

—u/StandardAnomaly2000

12. Elon Musk

"The guy is a complete piece of shit. Especially after the World Food Program bullshit."

—u/Plantain1979

"He thinks he's a real-life Tony Stark, when really, he's just the world's richest shitposter."

—u/patrickkingart

13. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett

"Recently, Will and Jada have been unbearable. Don't get me wrong, I like Will Smith, but the things he's been saying in interviews lately are just weird."

—u/DaddyMango1899

14. James Charles

"His singing, his overuse of the word 'sister,' his half-assed apologies for multiple scandals...ENOUGH!"

—Anonymous

15. Trisha Paytas

"I feel like Trisha isn’t even necessarily just cringe; she’s cringe because she’s just completely out of touch."

—u/onegaylactaidpill

"She changes her mind more than a baby needs their diaper changed. Her drama is so fucking weird."

—u/ricardabooks

16. Gwyneth Paltrow

"Perfect example of cringe. She's a pretentious, out-of-touch celebrity who is completely clueless about how everyone else perceives her."

—u/kimapesan

17. Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil

"The number of people who tune in and believe everything they say is unreal. It's disgusting, they make me mad, and people interpret them as a substitute for real and practical medical/mental health professionals."

—u/TehChubz

18. Jared Leto

"Great in a handful of movies, but the band was not good, and now he has a cult...creepy for sure."

—u/ThatGuy8

19. Jimmy Fallon

"Stop laughing at everything like a buffoon."

—u/soline

"His forced laughter is absolutely annoying."

—u/MistressGravity

20. Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copel

*ANY* mega church. if they are on TV and have their own giant fucking stadium they call a church they are definitely doing it for profit. im not too religious but instead of burying cash in walls and spending millions on private jets and rolls royces and stuff they should be helping the poor, building stuff for those in need, actually doing gods work. not collecting donations and then buying themselves a 5th vacation home. these people are the scum of the earth.

"I had a long conversation with God, and he wants the congregation to buy a new private jet for me to use"

Fame kind of messes up your head and makes you feel like you should always be the center of attention everywhere you go. However, we can't really blame them because we have no idea what it's like to live in their world, which is nothing like the world we are used to.
