Is it just me or has there been a spike in cringe comedy in the last few years?

You’re the worst
Broad City

Can’t actually list all the shows since I don’t watch the genre but there have been a lot I think
What are the other big ones?

This Wikipedia page is really bad. Most of the examples are off. Seinfeld is not cringe comedy for eg.

Hmm, I would definitely classify Seinfeld as cringe comedy!
Others I would add:
* Web Therapy (cringe at narcissism and self-delusion)
* Curb Your Enthusiasm (cringe at lack of social grace)
* The Office (cringe at ineptness)
* Girls (cringe at class/generational insulation)

It had cringe gags (especially involving George and occasionally Elaine) but first the most part it struck me as absurdist.
