Snark Bait: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

While a good movie or show is fun, there's just nothing like the visceral pleasure of [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|taking apart a bad one]]. And sometimes [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|hating something popular]] is [[Hatedom|what defines a crowd]], especially if, [[Quality by Popular Vote|despite its popularity]], it's actually pretty bad. Not terrible, not pitiful, just boringly bad.

Of course, in order to hate it to its fullest potential, you need to watch it and find out ''why'' it's so terrible.

 

 

Either way, [[Bandwagon Technique|everyone is going to be complaining]] about it, and you wouldn't want to be left out of slagging off all those [[Viewers are Morons|idiots]] who gave up their money and time for such junk. Or the derision of [[The Password Is Always Swordfish|stupidity with the passwords]] halfway and the [[Tomato in the Mirror|predictability of the ending]]. So, of course, you need to buy it yourself. That'll show 'em!

 

{{examples}}

== Advertising ==

* National Organization for Marriage's "Gathering Storm" ad has gathered quite a bit of this. Just try searching for it on [[YouTube]]. Almost every result is a parody of some kind. This is not unexpected of course, given that it's [[Narm|melodramatic enough]] to be a [[Stealth Parody]] to begin with.

 

== Live Action TV ==

* In the UK, few annual events are more fun than gathering around a TV with your friends and/or family to watch and make jokes about the ''[[Eurovision Song Contest]]''. Try it; a great time will be had by all.

** In Spain even the ''commentarist'' does this.

** The same is also true of nu-metal's [[Spiritual Successor]] [[Deathcore]], with the prime targets being Suicide Silence, [[Bring Me the Horizon]], Waking the Cadaver, [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others|and some band that really hates Uno.]]

* ''I Hate Your Blog'' by MC FrontALot is this trope's unofficial theme song. The tale of a man who repeatedly posts flame comments on an "incredibly terrible" blog telling the blogger to get off the Internet, then complains with equal volume when the blog isn't updated for a while.

''For our good cheer?''

== Tabletop Games ==

* ''[[FATAL]]'', which has become an [[Internet Backdraft]] of its own.
