The Awkward

Three teenagers watch a movie  Oh no  covers eyes  I can't watch  He's not really going to  he is  Mom: Are you at the scary part  Teenager: Worse  The awkward part  Is it over yet  Why would you do a stupid thing like that

You know the part.  The hero (or his socially-impaired sidekick) says or does something that everyone else - in and out of universe - knows is stupid and embarrassing, but can't do anything to stop and are therefore forced to cover their eyes and wait out.  The official term for this is "cringe comedy."  Emphasis on "cringe."
