{{quote|''"There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it."''|'''Roger Ebert''', in [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19990507/REVIEWS/905070303/1023 his review] of '''''[[The Mummy Trilogy]]'''''}}
Line 26:
** "[[You Fail Physics Forever|A particle of sunlight is made of many atoms!]]"
** "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, [[Department of Redundancy Department|future events such as these will affect you in the future]]." And after all this talk about the future, the narrator continues, "And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you the full story of what happen''[[How Do I Used Tense|ed]]'' on that fateful day..."

* The ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]: Coming Out of Our Shells Tour''. Don't know what it is? It's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles performing as a rock band. What makes it So Bad It's Good? This song:

Line 47:
** ''[[Robot Monster]]'': in which the costumes of the robots comprised a gorilla suit and a diving helmet. [[Special Effect Failure|And they look exactly like what they're made of.]] It also is an [[Ontological Mystery]] whose creators don't quite get that it's an [[Ontological Mystery]], leading to a killer [[Logic Bomb]] and a jarring use of [[Schrodinger's Butterfly]] in a film aimed at the [[Lowest Common Denominator]] of people who watched [[B-Movie|BMovies]] at drive-ins.
** ''[[Pod People]]''. If all of humanity could love as [[Messianic Archetype|Trumpy]] does, then there would be world peace. And many many potatoes.
** ''[[Space Mutiny]]''. Gave us the trope name "[[Railing Kill]]", special effects lifted wholesale from the original ''[[
** ''[[Merlins Shop of Mystical Wonders]]'', which is too scary to be a kids' movie, too childish to be a horror movie, and too stupid to be a [[Defanged Horrors|children's horror movie]].
** ''[[Catalina Caper]]'', a movie featuring a 3-minute animated opening credits sequence about a water-breathing Frenchman, his relationship with a mermaid, and a shark's attempts to part them. Unfortunately, this had nothing to do with the plot of the movie. It also has an extended Little Richard cameo.
Line 83:
* ''[[Mom and Dad Save The World]]''. In one word, this film is SILLY...and we wouldn't have it any other way!
* The first ''[[Alien vs. Predator (Film)|Alien vs. Predator]]'' movie. Alien and Predator going [[WWE|World Wrestling Federation]] on one another? ''Priceless''. (It's worth mentioning that the commentary for ''Alien vs. Predator'' is genuinely entertaining, which is more than can be said for the movie.) Even worse (thus better) was the sequel.
** In a similar vein, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Film)|Transformers Revenge of the Fallen]]''. [[Rated "M" for Manly|Extremely manly]] giant robots with deep [[Guttural Growler]] voices beating the crap out of each other for 2 hours. The various [[Ham and Cheese]] performances (Simmons, Jetfire, etc.) also make the [[Padding]] scenes somewhat watchable. The [[Transformers the Movie|original cartoon movie]] similarly qualifies, but just replace the [[Visual Effects of Awesome]] with [[Autobots Rock Out|a completely kickass hair-metal soundtrack]] and ''brilliant'' performances by [[Orson Welles]] and [[Leonard Nimoy]] as Unicron and Galvatron.
* ''Hercules in New York'', Starring a 22 year old [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] in his first film role. He is, at best, [[The Unintelligible|marginally fluent in English]] and given a ridiculous amount of speaking lines. In addition, Zeus's lightning is bent rebar painted white, and Hur-ka-leez's fight with the "bear" is simply hilarious.
** Plus you can hear the background traffic noise in the "Mount Olympus" scenes, as it was shot in a public park.
Line 209:
* The [[Nicolas Cage]] remake of ''[[The Wicker Man]]''. As far as some viewers are concerned, it is the best [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6i2WRreARo comedy] of 2006.
* ''Body Rock''. A 1984 break dancing movie about a guy named Chilly who finds fame and then forgets his friends, although it takes a few viewings to actually comprehend this. Features terrible dialogue, an ostensibly crackhead mother who doesn't care what her son does with his time, a random black child who inexplicably hangs out with 20 year olds and gives dancing lessons in the street, a gigantic boombox, rhinestones adorning the face of the male protagonist, a pleather trench coat with "Chilly" graffitied on the back, and a really frightening song.
* ''[[Shark Attack 3 Megalodon]]'' is most notable for featuring [[Special Effects Failure|some of the most stupidly hilarious special effects]] and an infamous cheesy line from a pre-''[[
* ''Flight Of The Living Dead''. ''[[Snakes On a Plane]]'' with zombies instead of snakes, and without high production values and any shred of self-awareness.
* ''[[Kazaam]]'', a 1996 movie about a [[Totally Radical|rapping genie]] that's released by a kid. Some of the scenes are strange and [[Nightmare Fuel|extremely creepy]]. And Shaq's god-awful rapping skills. "Let's [[Green Eggs and Ham (Literature)|Green Eggs and Ham]] it" indeed.
Line 268:
* ''Black Sheep'' has some hammy acting, a cheesy plot, and horri-awesome special affects that, separately, would make it a very bad movie. But, all together, they make something that is pure campy and self-aware B-Movie fun.
* ''[http://twitpic.com/3ux7t Galaxina]'' arguably does this on purpose...when you make ''AVERY FRIKKIN' SCHREIBER'' a starship captain, you've already decided you aren't making the next ''[[Star Wars]]''.
* The German movie ''Die unglaublichen Abenteuer des Guru Jakob'' (''The Incredible Adventures of Jakob the Guru''). Starring German ex-child star Tommi Ohrner as the [[High School Hustler]] (wannabe) [[The Danza|Tommi]] and Israeli Zachi Noy, veteran of the soft-sex comedy film series ''Lemon Popsicle'', as the titular Jakob Feierabend, who spent his time [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?|getting fired from various jobs]] and being rejected by girls, until he is mistaken for an Indian guru, like Baghwan, by the people of an Upper Bavarian village, who are looking for somebody to buy the old castle of the village, and soon unwillingly starts [[Church of Happyology|his own cult]], with Tommi as his manager. Add porn star Sibylle Rauch as [[Ms. Fanservice]] and [[Ethnic Scrappy|a Chinese restaurant owner]] for [[Chop Sockey]] kung fu action and [[Unfortunate Implications]]. It's like a mixture of slapstick, sex comedy, [
* An intentional example is ''[[Dead Snow (Film)|Dead Snow]]'', a Norwegian zombie/splatter-movie about a group of students on a camping trip in northern Norway who encounter a battalion of zombiefied Nazi soldiers. Writer/director Tommy Wirkola is a huge fan of classic horror b-movies such as Evil Dead, and Dead Snow is something of a tribute.
** A lot of critics made the mistake of thinking it was meant to be a serious film, [[Comically Missing the Point|unfortunately.]] Given how over-the-top the gore factor is, one wonders ''how'' they could have thought that, but as a result even some of the ''reviews'' are hilarious.
Line 285:
** Mike Danton cuts a man's arm of and beats him around the head with his own severed limb and then finishes by scalping him.
*** The best insults are directed and the evil female such as "kiss my ass", "Bitch". And a personal favourite "Fuck You!" before knocking her out cold with one hand.
* ''[[Mac and Me]]'' is a [[Follow the Leader|blatant ripoff]] of ''[[
** Ron would later go on to win the Worst Newcomer [[Golden Raspberry Awards|Razzie]] for 1988 (as "[[The Danza|Himself]]").
* The 1995 film "Mosquito" with Gunnar Hansen is hands down one of the funniest movies ever made. Unfortunately, it's supposed to be a horror movie.
