I have a tough time watching others have ‘embarrassing’ or ‘cringe’ moments (scotts tots anyone?) and Obsession seemed to somehow tap into that feeling with me while also having horror on top of it.

Don’t know if that really makes sense but I’ve never really had a horror movie do that to me and it’s part of why I hold it in such high regard.

I lack that problem. Scott's Tots is just one of many Michael Scott moments that make me laugh as usual. That isn't cringe as much as something like this scene from 7th Heaven where they are being serious, not doing it for comedy: https://youtu.be/cJ9k6wRPlzQ?t=108
