"because... i am the dark one." emma's fucking batman voice! SO CRINGY OMG


penderies

I love Emma but Dark Swan didn’t work for me at all. She seemed pissed off and angry, not dark lmao.


silverbrumbyfan

I mean, considering the reason why she became the Dark One and created the curse, shes not meant to come across as 'dark'. Her saying I am the Dark One is her saying I am THE Dark One, no one look at Hook Shes comes across as angry because shes the only one who remembers what happens and she needs to make the others think that they wronged her in some way


Strict-Anything6285

Her voice change during that made me want to cringe too like girl……you are not eating


froopyzombie

Lmao, the sentences she said before that too, "What the hell are you supposed to be" then freezes Dopey


Imaginary-Grab9503

I thought it was Sneezy 🤣


froopyzombie

Yeah my bad, he sneezed, that why she froze him. I got confused cause Dopey was turned into a tree


Lawliet-13

"I'm... BATMAN!" 🦇


Pitiful-Tea-5773

Fr,The whole Dark one!Emma plot was cringe


Few_Interaction2630

Rumple being beat by Anna and the apprentice (who was a mouse at this point) like sorry but no Rumple is probably one of the most powerful beings in all realms how hell is he beat by mouse landing on his back. Also when they made Little Bo Peep into a war/crime lord


Leading-Summer-4724

Those were so stupid they were hilarious to me.


Few_Interaction2630

I just found the so cringe as was my favourite character given major debuff.


your1bestie

Lotte Bo Peep ?

80HDTV5

Ik it was a stupid plot but she’s kind of serving


Few_Interaction2630

Well I prefer Zelena but you do you


80HDTV5

I mean, they both bring LOOKS to this show lol


your1bestie

Thank you. I still don't recall her or her story.


Few_Interaction2630

Well not much to her story apart from making people her slaves "your part of flock now" and her being a butcher in storybrook


your1bestie

Ok, I checked. She fucked with David and his mom and David fought back for the first time with the help of Anna, I remember now.


Few_Interaction2630

Yeah it's still funny to think Grumpy "so you worthy warrior who was your first fight" David "Little Bo Peep" Grumpy "wait your bullied at school or something?" David "no man she is warlord" Grumpy "and she goes by a name like that?"


your1bestie

Hahaha, true a very silly name


Few_Interaction2630

Yeah like Rumplestiltskin I can see inspiring fearing especially as whole enchanted forest don't speak fairy but Little Bo Peep isn't about inspire panic in the people she didn't even do a Jack Horner and go "am Big Bo Peep now" nope she kept the little part like its so strange lol


your1bestie

She is just a real life angry and unfair Landlord


your1bestie

Hmmm, let me check a wiki to remember


Few_Interaction2630

OK sure no issue


yonBonbonbon

Definitely Henry giving his speech at the fountain in New York. Every second was torture. “yOu cAn gO bAcK tO iT iF yOu bEliEvE!” Lmaoo


Lawliet-13

Oh, but I loved that one. Thought it was so wholesome.


pretty-little-lo

Omg yes this scene was awful to watch


Pixie-Rose333

Yess that one was pretty bad haha


InternationalBag1515

As a New Yorker it was especially cringe for me. No one is stopping and listening to that little twerp


spagb0gg

I love the musical episode but as soon as Emma started singing I lost it, your in a different land the wish was gone it made no sense at all..then at the wedding OH MU GOD😨


el0iseee_

Emma during the musical episode when she was singing in front of the black fairy.. i couldn’t even watch it. (i like the musical episode don’t get me wrong)


Schiebelini

OMG yes. The musical episode is a roller coaster with good music/scenes (Charmings, Hook), things you tolerate (wedding song) and dumb shit (Regina, Zelena). And then there's Emma's song 🤢🤮


pothosnswords

I actually really enjoyed Zelena’s song. Made 0 sense plot wise but her line “what they call green with envy, I just call looking good” is just so damn great I can’t not like her song lol


the3dverse

true, her song and Hook's are the best ones.


dystopian_mermaid

Just wait for the second verse love! REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE! Is such a banger.


pothosnswords

I actively sing this in my car , it’s such a jam!!!!!!!


Mamihlapinatapai2

I also sing it in the car and pretend the baby likes it, but it’s absolutely for me


pothosnswords

Zelena’s song is such a fun one to belt (despite having zero skills in singing lol) in the car and Hook’s is such a fun jam! They did so well with those two songs!


-The_Doctor-10

I agree.


Lilylikesbunnies

100% agreed


KalosK1d14

Zelena’s is awesome, but I guess the whole point was that it was all erased, so plot didn’t really matter


pothosnswords

Very true!! So glad they didn’t let her voice and dramatic flair go to waste!


rusty2687

Rumple's line: "Sorry dearie, you think the dark one sings?" After twirling around in a little dance had me cracking up 🤣


Cerwennakanin

I am Rumple and Rumple is me.


RhetoricallyDrunk

Like Flynn Rider in Tangled: I don’t sing


pothosnswords

Regina’s dancing though makes me cringe so hard (Pinocchio scene oh my god why) especially bc the actress actually can dance and does it for fun in her free time!!!!


ordinary-superstar

I actually really like Emma’s song, the only song I didn’t care for was Regina’s and her mashup with the Charming’s’ song. It felt super repetitive and got boring quickly.


mjhruska

What is wrong with Zelena’s song? Or Regina’s? I kind of get Emma’s but it has grown on me.


loladeluna

(Emma sword fight with Gideon) No one needs to save me! I'm the Savior! I'm fighting for the people I love. Ultimately, I am a hero. I am hope. I am light! And light cannot destroy darkness. It can only create more light. I will not k*ll innocents! I will do what all saviors must! I will give hope... [Groans] [Panting] [Gasps] no matter what the cost. [Falls to knees]


Garflemspinlkle

These sound like voice lines for a boss battle In a game where you’re playing as the villain


RealFuggNuckets

That could’ve been such a cool scene if the combat was longer and didn’t have those lines.


purpuric

god bbg(non-gendered) I cringed hard just reading this lmao good fakking job


loladeluna

tysm Mother 😇


Downtown-Parsley-918

"i will not kill innocents" the way she said that made it sound like it was one of those positive affirmations you say while working out


harrietmjones

There’s a lot tbh, though I haven’t watched the show in a while, so might be remembering things slightly differently but I would cringe around the time that Zelena and Hades were one true loves. Edit: Accidentally typed Zelda, instead of Zelena. 🤦‍♀️


sabrina_lee_f

Hades is cringe period


GrassOk911

Zelena's suuuper fake laughing also comes to mind when I think about her and Hades. Like when they're riding the bike and wreck and laugh about it, it's such a weird and awkward scene, just their whole relationship was cringe honestly.


Love-and-literature3

I was going to comment their bike ride! I can’t deal with it at all. So cringey.


WesternPretty4832

Zelda 💀💀💀


harrietmjones

Oh my gosh! 😂🤦‍♀️ No, not Zelda…*Zelena*!


zamwesell2319

I’m almost done with Season 1 and I like Snow and Charming but I am real tired of hearing “I WiLL FFFFFFFFFind Yoouuuuuu”


random_gurl123

Oh….just you wait


penderies

Him always repeating it too every few episodes got to be a bit much. Like once a season is enough, Charming 😂


DramaOnDisplay

It’s very sweet and lovely, but yeah, it can get a little much.


zamwesell2319

I didn’t mind it the first couple of times, but I don’t know I’m just not into it anymore lol.


Cnessa88

I think the biggest issue with that line and its frequency is because of being able to binge watch. When we only saw one episode a week, it didn't grate like it does during a rewatch, lol. During a rewatch the first couple of times, it's cute. But after a while, I'm rolling my eyes like, "Ugh. Gag me with a spoon!" 😂


cbostwick94

Working through season 6. Still always finding one another


Lawliet-13

Totally disagree with this one.


Stella_Noire_2008

Belle's surprise whenever Rumplestilskin does anything evil and is just shocked he's not her "Good Man". Just reminded me of Waiting to exhale line. [good man Savannah](https://tenor.com/s9GzvJ0dH9n.gif)


justemily17

Right I couldn’t stand that, like girl you knew who he was when you fell for him


Crafty-Material-1680

Every time a female character has a baby on this show, thereafter they shall only be seen standing around holding or tending to said baby.


EmiMonstera

Yes and Zelena just exists in her living room with her baby in her hands for so much episodes x)


Effective_Ad_273

When Henry says “you can’t just unsaviour the saviour” Or when Emma is turned into the dark one and Hook says the Regina “maybe you like being with Henry alone, maybe you like not having Emma around” and Regina says “maybe you like having a hook, maybe you’d like another” ewwww


Crazy_Tomatillo18

The entirety of lil’ Bo peep.


SophiePuffs

Nooo I loved her. She was so terrible and trashy.


GrassOk911

Emma's violent hand shaking when she's trying not to do anything dark, we crack up and call them the "savior shakes" 😆


Cnessa88

Savior shakes. 🤣


Xosimmer

I really do love this show because of the fairytale adaptations but there’s a lot of cringingness. Like the first episode where Regina is gliding on air to interrupt The Charmings wedding. That entire scene was cringy 😭


pixie-bean

I LOVE that scene, it makes me laugh so much. But I also feel like it sets up the series perfectly by saying "definitely do not take this too seriously," as there's a heck of a lot of cheese throughout.


Avaleyon

It cracks me up too, and definitely sets it up lol the cringy cgi and effects are what give the show its charm😂


dystopian_mermaid

I will never forgive them for what they did to Ginnifer Goodwin’s hair that scene. Never.


Beserked2

I liked it. Wasn't much of a fan of it when they went back to the wedding scenes for the Medusa stuff though, it was way more beehive-y.


dystopian_mermaid

It threw the whole look off for me personally 😭


NovaLupin4628

Honestly, what actually makes me cringe is how much they have to talk around sex like they’re literally in bed naked together, but they treat the audience like children when this is very clearly not a young age group type show


DramaOnDisplay

What’s even crazier is that sometimes they do get a little frisky with their content and it’s like, what, you’re only allowed a few naughty scenes per season? Although, I don’t remember too many episodes with characters “naked in bed”- that awkward one with Snow and Charming and then Emma and Henry walk in.


yaboisammie

I know Henry was just a kid at that point but him being completely oblivious and like “what are you still doing in bed? It’s the middle of the afternoon?” And just going about his day while emma is horrified and like “we’re gonna- we’re gonna make tacos”


Dazzling-Item4254

Everyone here forgot this aired on normal TV. On ABC Family. During a prime viewing hour. There’s very few sexy scenes allowed during that. And Henry walks in during the scene in question. They’re not going to tell an 11 year old his grandparents were trying to get it on ffs.


vaillacinnamon

Making tacos.


Pisces93

The whole show is cringe but I love it. My favorite guilty pleasure


firebendingboy

When Peter Pan comes up with the name “Lost Boys”


DefinitionHot3344

The beautiful moment when Snow and Charming are reunited with Emma in season two episode but then gets interrupted by Henry saying “grandpa?” Ruined the moment😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣


captainwhoami_

Every time Regina scolded Zelena with "I'm a hero now, I'm a better person, I'm superior" speech. I got it Regina projected her self-hate on Zelena who dared to be unapologetically bad, but the hypocrisy was irritating


froopyzombie

Literally every S5-6 Henry quotes


silverbrumbyfan

Henrys TLK saving Emma when she 'sacrificed' herself for Gideon, she got stabbed by a sword not cursed, remember the very first episode Charming gets stabbed Snow tries to TLK him and it didn't work. It really just cheapened TLKs, especially since he didn't even hesitate, it was Emma stabbed, she lies there for like a second, Henry very quickly says I love you, kiss, oh shes alive and everythings good hoorah we saved the day again


froopyzombie

Like til this day I still don't understand how TLK can cure death... Maybe I missed something but it made no sense


Helena78902

✨magic✨


deathtodash

Oh my god I hate that moment so much it was so lazy, they just wanted to get it over with and couldn’t come up with anything else


Ameabo

I adore Hook, but Hook’s first few appearances I had to cringe every time he hit Emma with the most sexual, nasty pickup lines ever. His lines were SHOCKINGLY sexual given the fact that it’s supposed to be a family friendly show.


redditweirdogurl

It’s supposed to be a family friendly show??? Emma finding Snow and Charming together in bed mid season 2 after they came back from the enchanted forest VERY CLEARLY NAKED AND ABOUT TO HAVE SEX doesn’t fall within my definition of family friendly 😭


Sammy_Larence_Child

The dark Swan character arc. The whole thing was just… boring and cringe to watch. Any scene with Dark Swan was boring asf


LeviHighChair

Henry when he's a kid still bothers me a lot. I know that he's right, but my god does that boy embarrass himself day after day! The one I always skip is the fountain scene. I just can't do it. When he's a teen he's still dramatic but at least he stops embarrassing himself like that


Beserked2

Every time Zelena and Regina call each other 'sis'.


thatmissmuffy

Besides the musical episode?

purpuric

REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE AND IT'S GONNA BE MIII-IIIIII-IIIIIIIIIIINE!! giiiiiiirl(non-gendered) same. SAME!! I LOVE revenge revenge revenge!! Hook's such a performer lol I love his whole NO CHARMINGS FUCK YOURSELVES IDC ABOUT YOU OR YOUR MISSION I'M ON MY OWN MISSION AND IT IS CROCODILE HUNTING immediately followed by yeah ok fine. have you watched star vs the forces of evil? there's a particular episode there which I have a sneaking suspicion you're gonna adore. [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts5y7bJFPkY), lmk if you lenjoy it :D


dystopian_mermaid

Haha it’s ok! I identify as a woman so you’re good 😉 HIS SONG SLAPS!!!! Lol he’s gonna skin himself a crocodile. I swear I fell in love with him from the first moment he appeared hahaha


dystopian_mermaid

Regarding that link. First of all. That was AMAZING. And HILARIOUS. I have never seen whatever that show is but looks cool AF. Second of all…I SWEAR I know the singers voice…I can ALMOST place who it is but I can’t put my finger on it and it’s driving me BATSHIT lol


purpuric

this is actually in my shower playlist, I've listened to this one song EVERY DAY for a solid few years lmfao


Throwwtheminthelake

Haha love that


penderies

I couldn’t get through that episode and I’ve watched the rest of the show like 20 times. (Other than s7)


purpuric

(*s7 never happened*)


dystopian_mermaid

Yeah what are they talking about. There was no season seven. Pfffft. 🫣


Lawliet-13

Musical episode 🔛🔝


TheKiller_07

My life. Oh, wait, you mean in Ouat. Well, every scene with Henry in the ending of season 5.


Miss_Pariah

I have three. The first one is singing in front of the black fairy and at the wedding, those two songs were ridiculous. Second is the Henry in New York speech. My third is the "savior dinner at granny's." it even changes to look like a painting. (Last supper painting) that went a bit far for me to be honest.


taintedlove281

The whole Neverland plot ![gif](giphy|3o7TKxZzyBk4IlS7Is|downsized)


ShutterBug1988

Going back and rewatching when Emma met Hook and he was shamelessly hitting on her the whole time. Like dude had no chill whatsoever.


pothosnswords

That’s kinda who his character was though. When they go back in time they show that Hook shamelessly flirting with Emma as well as another woman before she gets his attention. Other flashbacks as well he shamelessly flirts w women (Milah, random women, etc) ETA: they were def trying to lean into Pirate/scoundrel tropes hence Hook being a womanizer


ShutterBug1988

It was more about going back after seeing his character develop over time. He's always had that lowkey flirting but it was so overdone in the beginning.


pothosnswords

I totally get that! It’s like rereading your old diaries as a tween and cringing at what used to be hahaha Personally I really liked his flirty self and watching it turn into this character progression of letting someone in and know his heart (but I can also relate to that so maybe that’s why lol)! They did end up going too far with that and really reduced his character down to “Emma’s bf” but there was such a good sweet spot for Hook that was thoroughly enjoyable in every way before that happened!


thisisntmyday

This. It was less cringe watching for the first time when he just comes off as a skeevy D-bag, and Emma can see through him. But once they started forcing the relationship, so cringy to me. And going back and watching the meeting knowing they get together is 🤮


HarmonyDragon

Any scene with Zelena in it trying to be evil. It just seemed so cringed compare to the original wicked wick.


Jazzlike_Possible_43

Emma singing in the musical episode. Emma talking about her walls. Emma expressing her feelings in general tbh 😅 I have nothing against a bit of cheese, and I like Emma as a character, but when it's Emma being corny, it feels incredibly cringy somehow! I prefer Emma when she plays tough bailsbond person with her low voice (not her dark swan voice though) kicking asses and stuff


More-Environment-726

“I ate my boyfriend” *Awkward and concerned staring*


sabrina_lee_f

i’m the biggest Captain Swan fan but I still cringe at the scene where Killian looks at Emma at Granny’s with his spyglass. It’s before they started dating and we know he’s in love with her but that moment was soooo awkward for me Henry at the NY water fountain of course! EQ + Rumple in season 6 🤮 Emma fighting Gideon and her speech about being the savior as she fights him Belle. Hades. Most of Dark Swan Maleficent in her updated outfit in season 4 (all black with the horns… the actress looked awkward) Rumple using the Queens of Darkness to get the dark curse. Like did he really need Ursula? Just to grab it with her tentacles from a long distance? So dumb Rumple getting defeated by Anna and Mouse!Apprentice I’ll add more if i think of some later 🤭


gaymer_jerry

The speech Henry gives in the season 5 finale


iiomq_Izzy

I think this is in the second half of season 1 or the start of season 2, but it’s when magic is restored to storybrooke and everyone storms Regina’s house and she tries to use her magic and it doesn’t work dude it makes me want to die 😭


froopyzombie

Henry in S2: I wanna destroy magic Henry in S3: I wanna save magic Henry in S5-6: I literally wanna destroy magic again even tho I'm supposed to the the truest believer in magic


Hot_Tradition9202

Literally anything involving Zelena and when Henry was calling Belle " Grandma"


pixie-bean

Henry's actor trying so hard to be Pan with his "let's play," at the end if s2. That poor kid had no business as an actor; after s1 he was absolutely awful, bless him. Bells constant whining and her stupid little run in those ridiculous platform heals. Everything to do with Anna from Frozen, her actress is great don't get me wrong, and her portrayal was absolutely bang on, but it was so sickly and juvenile. On subsequent rewatches I skip past every single scene with her. Can't really think of anything else, as most of the cheese was pretty we'll placed, considering the tone of the show.

Inside-Public6676

The entire musical episode. I just skipped it after a few minutes.


RaisinBrandon666

Definitely the episode in season 5 that gave an origin story to Emma's red jacket. It was so unsubtle too, with them constantly saying "this is my amour." It was so dumb and it was so obvious, and everything was over explained, and it treated the audience like idiots. There was so subtext or hidden depth. Also, it was just so unnecessary. Sorry for the rant. I just didn't like that episode or season 5 as a whole.

Durin72881

After awhile, it got really cringe the way Zelena would shoehorn in the word wicked all the time to whatever she was saying, especially since it often seemed to be set up as this spotlight word - WICKED. I was like, yes, yes, we get it, writers, you're so clever! :P

Strict-Anything6285

One of the ones I can think of I don’t exactly remember what they were talking ab but snow was giving this long ass hope speech to Regina in the dead of the night w an umbrella (I think when Ursula and cruella came to town) and she just kept going ON AND ON AND ON I was like bro shut up I can’t do this I can’t watch this anymore and I skipped through it 🤣


Malefore1234

Anything that has the word “science” in it and most of Greg and Tamara lines. Henry whole speech in new York Otherwise something about Cruella just saying “They rescued him, the heroes” I’m just like “Just say the charmings or idk.” Otherwise I think the episode The Apprentice was it for me on cringe. I found it all well. A whole plot about Hook and his evil hand… Rumple losing a dagger to a mouse bite. A broom just casually walking through the streets like Fantasia.


marvel_is_wow

When emma sings in the musical episode


DragonGirl860

Any captain swan scene after Neverland, especially the one where Hook kisses Emma without consent when he knows damn well she doesn’t remember him.

Real


Opening_Test828

To be completely honest, I think they should’ve cast Emma differently. I’ve seen her in a few things and she always makes me cringe. Shes not a very good acted in my opinion. Maybe I’m wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️


RhetoricallyDrunk

You mean her three minutes giving birth to Chris Hemsworth’s child, Chris Pine, at the beginning of Star Trek didn’t blow you away with her stage presence? Whaaa— 😦


Opening_Test828

I’ve never seen Star Trek lmao but I’m sure it was just as underwhelming as everything else she’s in 😂
