Best of the Worst

[Julianking93]

Boredom has spawned yet another pointless thread from my mind and the search bar came up blank for the first few pages, so I think it's safe to do this one.

So basically, what are some of the best worst things in the media? Things that you dislike or despise yet love to make fun of. We all like to do that sort of thing from time to time at least, be it celebs, books, movies, or even games, what do you just love to hate?


Remember this thread does not just specifically apply to movies. It can be for any form of media.

Personally, I think one of the best things to make fun of is the 2003 movie "The Room"

Words needn't be said to describe how awful that is yet, there are even special screenings of the film across the country of people who just go to make fun of it. So, Escapist, what do you love to make fun of?

Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged.

Took one awful anime and just turned it into something awesome. IN AMERICA!

M Night Shyamalan.

I was at Scott Pilgrim yesterday and they played the trailer for his new movie, "Devil", and as soon as it said "a film by M. Night Shyamalan" the whole theatre burst out laughing. They were taking the trailer seriously until they saw his name and then it became an immediate joke.

that happened at the theater i was in too...

It's so easy to make fun of Megan Fox. That's probably why that I liked Jennifer's Body.

Snakes on a Train is the best worst film I've ever seen, it had us in stitches at uni the whole way through.

You mean Snakes on a Plane? But Samuel L. Jackson's had it with those motherfuckin' snakes on that motherfuckin' plane.

Also, Transformers, Michael Bay in general, Twilight, and the ".... Movies" (Meet the Spartans, Epic Movie, etc) are pretty much the generic answers.

Why doesn't anyone seem to get that he's not directing it?

It's his idea for a movie that someone has taken and made a full film out of. He doesn't have anything to do with its production.

Best Worst Game: Alpha Protocol

Really? I've heard such mixed things about it.

I was about to go get it too.

This is your thread, I assume you would have picked up on this: It's not that the movie is a joke. It's that Mr. Shyamalan himself is a joke.

Yes, he himself is a fucking joke at this point, but just because it's got his name on it doesn't mean you should completely dismiss the movie as shit because of that.

The Room was so bad, that after it was put out and laughed at so hard, the writer/protagonist/director took all the advertisements down and re-advertised it as a comedy. THAT'S BAD. But also kind of awesome. Shows he has a real sense of humor.

LISA YOU'RE TEARING ME APART! *LAZY RAGE!*

You know what really pisses me off? The Nostalgia Critic reviewed "The Room", and all of the sudden, everyone talks about how it's the worst movie ever. I guarantee that 90% of those people never even heard of The Room before his review. I'm not saying that YOU haven't heard of it, I'm just pointing this out.

Anyway, Superman 64. It's so bad, but it's SO wonderfully good.

Also, The Final Destination is wonderfully bad, and normally, it's totally against my nature to laugh at ANYTHING death related.Death isn't funny, but Final Destination found a way to make it hilarious.

I'm obscenely lazy, so I simply mock what Mystery Science Theatre tells me to mock. But then Rifftrax began mocking everything, even blandly mediocre films. I am confuse.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Bruno Mattei films.
Asylum movies.

I actually found out about it through a Youtube friend of mine who did his own review of it.

I only just recently saw the Nostalgia Critic's review of it.

Also, Final Destination actually used to be somewhat good.
First one, pretty good.
Second, okay.
Third, the fuck is this shit?
Fourth (IN 3D!!!!) was just wretched film making.
