"Doctor Crusher to Ensign Crusher. Aren't you supposed to be getting a haircut, Wesley?"
Moments on TNG that make you cringe.

"Perrin can be quite logical - when she chooses."
It's good that we see at the end that Sarek's love for her is deep and genuine... and that Perrin is completely aware of it.

With this thread in mind...
What if Riker became Locutus instead of Picard?
Whenever the Borg assimilated new people, they'd look for trombones.

Riker: "Did you say you'll have me erected in space?"
Which reminds me (and sorry if it's been mentioned already, not checking all 16 pages):
The line in The Price where Troi and Crusher are discussing Troi's new relationship with Ral (whilst doing yoga exercises)...
I guess different people's toes curl up for different reasons.
"My name is Barash."
"To me, you'll always be Jean-Luc."
"To me, you'll always be Jean-Luc."
"New Ground" buries it easily.
Ard'rian: "I didn't know that was possible! What's your memory capacity? How many operations per second? I have a million questions."
Data: "I'm afraid I have no time to answer a million questions."
I cringe at cutesy jokes like this. In this case, I think it's because they're trying too hard to make Data innocent.

Especially with Riker doing the Gowron eyes.

Normally in sci-fi, something that feels off-kilter and "otherworldly" can be a good thing. Having just sat through that episode, I need nary a memory to be in full agreement with you.
Admittedly, the scene really is trying, but it just does not land as they could have kept it to just the first two lines and not burp out the entire thing, thus saving the audience (and Worf) some awkwardness... Actually, Worf feeling uncomfortable allows the viewer to relate to him is actually refreshing in a way, so in that aspect TNG/7 isn't as fizzled out as one might otherwise believe, which in another way is almost frightening but I digress...Troi's comment about trying to find a synonym for "jolly" was the least cringing bit of dialogue, and by far the most cringy bit is how they could have avoided all of it if they'd have simply belched out the song "Happy Birthday" instead as this was Worf's B-Day and all, but there were reasons they couldn't do that, the lack of available fermented alcohol drinks in the room notwithstanding... then again, maybe the show was fizzled out because the party could have focused on solely his big victory and thus have full relevance for the jolly song, bypassing all the little issues surrounding the birthday one. Oh well, at least - just as with Troi - the audience was spared seeing Worf's birthday suit, but I digress again and I'm sure Troi would probably find that to be far less cringey than some audiences...
It's very TOS, up there with every time Spock spouts something that would otherwise be deemed insulting against McCoy and/or all humanity.

How nobody noticed she uniquely had all black eyes aside, or other nuances that would not have Troi succeeding, Marina Sirtis' acting just nails every scene and elevating an iffy script into something better.
Actually, the birthday party makes sense. Worf having a birthday that day is the only constant in each of those universes.Normally in sci-fi, something that feels off-kilter and "otherworldly" can be a good thing.

There were at least a couple where he got 9th place in the tournament, and no one is going to celebrate THAT.
It was also where Data gave him the painting and it was another clue because it changed multiole times.
"Face Of The Enemy" is definitely Troi's best episode.
With an additional good one-off score by Don Davis.
