Dreadful Musician: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

Compare [[Suckiness Is Painful]]. Also compare [[Three Chords and The Truth]], where musicians do actually know how to play their instruments, but without the complexity and pretentiousness.

Line 42:

* Akina in ''[[UFO Princess Valkyrie (Anime)|UFO Princess Valkyrie]]'' is terrible at karaoke... it's barely survivable when she's got a backup-team of catgirl gogo-dancers distracting you from the actual singing, but without them, it's so bad that when Hydra is first thrown into the Punishment Dimension, the hell of her imagining is... being strapped to a chair while Akina sings her [[Image Song]].

* Part of the premise of ''[[K-On! (Manga)|K-On!]]'', where four girls form a new band for their school's music club to save it from being shut down, and Yui ''definitely'' can't play at the beginning, while the others are decent musicians.

* In ''[[Doraemon (Anime)|Doraemon]]'', Giant fancies himself a singer, but his voice is so awful it can be weaponized, and even in a world without sound reading his lyrics induce nausea. Its only rivaled by Shizuka's violin. In a memorable scene from a [[Non Serial Movie]], the team is being drawn in by siren/mermaid song which has also attracted a sea beast. The praise of the music annoys Giant who begins to sing. Cue fleeing mermaids and a knocked out monster.

* Kanata is not a particularly good bugler when ''[[Sora no Woto (Anime)|Sora no Woto]]'' begins. Not surprisingly, since learning how to play was her main reason to join the army in the first place.

* Shinji from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' plays the cello, but considers himself a [[Dreadful Musician]]. [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|He actually isn't that bad.]] Asuka hears him play and is impressed, at least.

Line 122:

* Lister from ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' is so bad at playing the guitar that he's only allowed to play it outside the ship. Please remember that the ''Red Dwarf'' is a '''spacecraft'''. This fact was once used as a plot point when Lister had an evil doppelganger. The false Lister played the guitar amazingly well, because it played as well as Lister ''thought'' he could, rather than as awfully as he ''actually'' could.

* Private Dobbs, the inept fort bugler from ''[[F Troop (TV)|F Troop]]''.

* In the fourth wall-breaking ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)|~~Doctor Who]]'' special "Music of the Spheres", the Doctor tries composing a symphony inspired by planetary rotation synthesized into music through the TARDIS harmonics filters. Let's just say the universe makes better music than Ten. But at least we get the image of him conducting an orchestra with the sonic screwdriver.

* Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley's off-key rendition of "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" from the ''[[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' episode "The Naked Time."

* Coach Z from ''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Homestar Runner]]'' is most often portrayed as a [[Dreadful Musician]] (who [[Giftedly Bad|overestimates]] his talent or lack thereof), but his [[Piss Take Rap|Piss Take Raps]] range from [[So Bad It's Good]] to [[Crowning Music of Awesome]], [[Depending On the Writer|depending on the short]].
