The 'Oh No, Cringe' meme features a small, blue, 3D-animated creature—originally from the 2002 short film 'The ChubbChubbs!'—reacting to a screen with intense physical discomfort. It became a viral sensation on TikTok and Discord around 2021, often paired with a high-pitched voiceover saying the phrase. The meme is used as a universal reaction to videos or situations that evoke extreme second-hand embarrassment. It has evolved into a staple of internet culture, used to mock everything from dated fashion trends to awkward social interactions, serving as the ultimate digital 'facepalm' for the modern era.
