cringe is not comedy
Someone being a socially clueless berk isn't comedy. Making it some sort of post-ironic actually-laughing-at-the-audience isn't comedy.

It's just a tired old BBC radio washup making stupid one-liners for students in a funny adenoidal voice. That's not comedy.

Coogan doesn't laugh at his audience, you're confusing him with Ricky Gervaise.
Now he really is a prize shitcunt.
