The fact that there is mud at all is enough to make me cringe.

Marge Simpson wants her hair back.
Crosby had the acting range of a traffic sign.
Her random hissy-fit she throws in "Encounter at Farpoint" during the trial is, in retrospect, pretty cringeworthy.
"This so-called court should get down on its knees to what Starfleet is...what it represents!!!!!1!1!"

That, was definitely cringe.
I still think she's a great Starfleet officer and classic character in general.
But it was cringe.
Did anyone mention the EMH's sickeningly saccharine holographic family from Real Life yet? Another one where it was intended to be cringy. B'Elanna might have gone too far in the other direction with her reprogramming, but she was right, they were insufferable caricatures, straight out of a '50s commercial. Especially at the beginning when they lined up, standing at attention with those huge smiles to say goodbye the master of the house.
That episode is cringe for a large number of reasons. The silly caricatures are, in my opinion, the least of that episode's worries.

Cringeworthy but enjoyably campy. The embodiment of season 1 goofiness.

Troi, for the second time, getting mind raped in almost the same way in Nemesis. There was no real context for it, so the scene comes off shoddy. Troi was basically the Seven of Nine of TNG.
"Elvis meets the Enterprise." Another idea that was pitched TNG.

Instead of boy bands maybe "Enterprise" could have had a Elvis hologram perform every week in the mess hall.

I am talking about REAL racial slurs not fake ones, e.g. people from Africa, from Asia...etc... That sort of thing. I doubt it would have gone unnoticed and unpunished but here because sexual harassment was not taken as seriously back then as racism, he could get away with and the show could propagate despicable values in all impunity.
I am sorry but I don't find that ok.
"Why didn't somebody TELL ME the ladies' restroom was out of paper?!?!?"
Although we did get a taste of what Klingon "rock music" or "metal music" is like. If the episode has just one redeeming quality it's adding that piece of culture to both Klingon and wider Star Trek canon.
I think Klingons went directly from Opera to Rock... I can't imagine Klingon Blues for example.
It shouldn't be too different from the Human variety... I mean, the Klingons even managed to invent the accordion by themselves. Or somehow they liked it enough to copy it. If they could do that, then maybe Blues got to them as well
Reminds me of the Brakiri from Babylon 5 whose backstory in the tie-in novels outright states they detected and analyzed ancient TV signals originating from Earth, and almost their entire culture has been plagued by the question "Who shot J.R.?" ever since.
You haven't experienced "Beer Barrel Polka" until you've heard it in the original Klingon.
