Secondhand embarrassment

But you never had any to begin with.

So yeah, secondhand embarrassment sucks. Especially if you get it from media, or more specifically, media that isn't designed to make you get it in the first place. The urge to shout "Don't do that" at a fictional character isn't particularly helpful or effective, after all.

    Dramatic irony is a funny feeling.

    You can change. You can.

    It depends, though. Like, you can still feel it on drama when you see a character perform an action so obviously dumb you can't help but want to smack them.

    Kill them! KILL THEM ALL!

    I think the worst moments are like say where an author tries to push a joke that is not funny in the least.
