In view of the diversity of phenomena associated with cringe humor in the research literature and in practice, cringe humor is here treated as a complex, multi-dimensional, and multifactorial event. This chapter collects and develops aspects and dimensions of cringe humor as found in the research literature and adds further elements to a tentative descriptive framework for cringe humor. It uses examples from the British crossover comedy panel show 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown to discuss an open set of criteria to describe cringe-humor incidences. Among other factors, Freud’s trichotomy of joke teller, victim, and witness is extended to include multiple objects of cringe humor, possibly including the teller themselves. The locus of cringe humor—connected to its victim—is defined as the respective identity dimension of the object/victim which is under attack. Cringe humor is described as a horizontal genre, which collects exemplars of cringe phenomena from other genres. These other genres provide specific contexts within which cringe humor can emerge. Contexts include participation constellations, social and communicative norms as well as communicative patterns with their innate temporality. The chapter finishes on a humor-theoretical section on the relationships and constellations between cringe and humor. Here, the idea of alternating states of humor and cringe in the reception process of cringe humor is favored over other constellations.
