Secondhand embarrassment
When a character in a TV show is about to do something incredibly stupid (usually in social situations) I become severely embarrassed for them. Like why you gotta do that to me? Come on Arnold! I related to you, empathized with you, and now you're gonna make a big scene at your ex's wedding? Fuck man! And I just know there is gonna be a sad scene at the end of the episode when you feel bad about it where my heart breaks for you. Don't even try to deny it!
