** The books get a lot more humorous if you find funny tidbits around fandom of the ridiculousness of it all. Some of the better ones are [http://oxymoronassoc.livejournal.com/462027.html Edward Cullen as a 40-year-old mother]{{Dead link}} and [http://shinga.deviantart.com/art/Head-Trip-Twilight-Sucks-85504254 Would you just come over and exorcise the thing?] |

** Proven by Dan Bergstein at Spark Notes. He blogged all 4 books, hilariously mocking every aspect from the characters to the plot holes. He also petitioned for jetpacking werewolves and sword stilts for Emmett so he can "stand and stab" at the same time.

* The ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] novel ''[[The Glove of Darth Vader]]'' and its sequels are packed with [[Narm]], [[Anvilicious]] [[Green Aesop|Green Aesops]], and [[Written Sound Effect|Written Sound Effects]] (in a ''novel''!); inevitably, many readers enjoy them for it. That the writers in an interview defended the series by pointing to its popularity among students, a demographic notably fond of [[Snark Bait]], suggests that they're in on the joke even if they originally weren't. These books were probably aimed at children, given the number of pictures and the painfully simplistic plots. 10 years later, though, they qualify for this trope. |

* ''Knight Moves'', supposedly a romance, but in fact awful erotica. A woman accidentally ends up in the men's room of a Medieval Times-type restaurant, which somehow sends her to the Middle Ages. There, she screws her way through most of England before returning to Philadelphia for a hideously racist Your Momma rap contest with a street gang who speak nothing even resembling street speak. And if that's not enough, the sex scenes veer from [[IKEA Erotica]] to [[Purple Prose]] and back, violently. One of the more work-safe excerpts: |
