jump cringe 

Like a jump scare, except cringeworthy instead of scary.

When you think something (e.g. a movie or tv show) is alright until you get hit by a sudden, unexpected wave of cringe.

Also known as jumpcringe.
I was watching "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" yesterday and just when I thought the movie was getting better, they hit me with a jump cringe. Those unfunny jokes ruin the moment and give me secondhand embarrassment.

Cringe Compalation 

A cringe compalation consists of stolen videos supposably cringey. They often consist of unfunny texts in the video such as "your mom" and other things a 12 year old would say. People make these vids in hopes of getting lots of views and feeling good about themselves to make up for the attention that their mother never gave them.
