Maybe controversial but I had that with the office.
What was the piece of media so emotionally overwhelming you just stopped it?

Same, Steve Carrell's character almost causes me physical pain
It's not really controversial. Cringe is used to full effect in The Office, and it's absolutely something that a lot of people don't enjoy.
I love The Office, and I do think that once you know the characters, the cringe gets less intense, but it just isn't going to jive with everyone.
Same. I'm someone who likes the kind of Borat comedy, listed above, and I loved the British version of The Office, but the American adaptation of The Office is so cringe it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Weirdly, I really enjoy Parks and Recreation, it is a very similar show with similar writing.

Anything that maximizes embarrassment or cringe. Canโt watch most Will Ferrell or Borat. Ugh, it makes me so uncomfortable.
