Cringeworthy success
Hi.
What does cringeworthy success mean in the following context?
Ex. No one smacks him -- at least, if someone did, the slap didn't make it into the edited video -- which makes this silly social experiment a cringeworthy success.
The above is an extract from yahoo article (http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/would-you-hold-hands-with-a-stranger.html )
That phrase is in the last line of this article.
Thank you
Hamid

hrsaneia cringeworthy successIt's a strange expression, but I like it.
Several of the people were cringing when the protagonist attempted to hold their hand. The viewer might cringe too upon seeing it. Still, it's enjoyable, and enjoyment makes for successful videos.
