For example on the radio a few weeks ago now, the presenters were talking about...somebody, no idea who. Didn't care to listen. They started to make jokes similar to the old Chuck Norris jokes when he's the strongest being alive. Sure enough one of them started telling the one about him getting bit by the snake and after days of pain the snake died, and all the other presenters were like ''Wow! Good one''. Yeaaahhh....it was funny, about 15 years ago when those jokes were a thing.
 
Ugg strongest in cave. strong like rock. one day serpent make mistake, bite Ugg in smallest toe. Snake dead from Ugg venom.
 
You must be young op if you're only just learning radio announcers make the cringiest, boomer tier jokes around. You also seem somewhat joyless and like you're probably not very fun at parties.
 
Somewhat relevant to the Kiwi Farms, but I always see these shallow video essays on some Internet drama that anyone with a search engine can immediately understand in far more depth. For example, years after Null's stream on Shmorky, I started seeing Shmorky video essays all over my recommended feed. I saw a video just today "chronicling" the decline of Will Stamper, and it was just a bunch of information I already knew as someone who was barely interested in the topic.

Somewhat similarly, I see a lot of "deep-dive" types of videos by very popular YouTubers and it kind of perplexes me. I remember seeing a video by that Charlie person which talked about the decline of Blockbuster in a very surface level manner, released in 2019! It felt insulting as someone who apparently knew far more than he did, while also being considerably younger than him, to the point where I'd never even stepped foot in a Blockbuster. It's like people have lost every inclination toward curiosity and need their favorite YouTuber to explain things to them like a five-year-old.

I think deep dive videos, and 99% of youtube "documentaries" are just made as second screen fodder, and the creators are aware of this so they stretch out the videos with worthless jokes and speculation with very surface level detail, it reduces research time. People don't actually watch the videos, they just want a comforting voice in their head while doing something else, so it doesn't matter how worthless the video actually is. Joon the King gets a lot of praise but I feel he basically does this for youtube drama too, his video on ReviewTechUSA is a very good example.

The only good videos of this kind seem to be made by passionate total amateurs who come out of nowhere, or people who only make one or two videos a year lol

I know I'm the sped in this situation, but I get very annoyed when someone repeats something quippy they saw online that I have already saw online multiple times, especially if they say it in a tone like they thought of it themselves
 
I'd say the typical cringe example is, when memes make it to business ads. (Like, I remember the unfortunate Phteven dog being used as a mascot of a local soda company) . The memes might not be bad on themselves, but commercializing kills them instantly and makes them outdated, and it's a sign they were already overused.

The best example of this that comes to mind is this Wendy's ad. This retarded shit came out in 2015, 6 years after the heyday of the "like a boss" meme on 4chan, and 3-4 years after it was spammed daily on sites like 9gag.
