About

4 Panel Cringe refers to a series of exploitable multi-pane images, used to compile Facebook, Instagram or other social media posts that the author deems embarrassing or cringeworthy.

Origin

Following the popularity of Hey Girls, Didn't You Know… users began posting variations of the format using the phrases "4 panels" and "cringe" on Reddit. One of the earliest examples of these words being used together comes from a post by Redditor newcreationsurf. On December 31st, 2012, they posted a four panel compilation with the subtitles "Guys be like…Im fabulous And im like…dont tell me you have a vagina too." The post (shown below) appeared in the thread "Another 4 panel cringe" in the /r/cringepics subreddit.[1]

The post (shown below) entitled "4-panel counterpart of 'Hey girls, did you know…'.
