* ''[[Jesus Is Savior]].'' A website made by a Christian pastor that hates everything including rock music, Catholics, atheists, public schools, Alister Crowley, women wearing pants, the New International Version Bible and everyone and everything not his own denomination. It looks like it was designed by a schizophrenic.
* [[
* Strangely, the weird "anime puppet" style that every [[Newgrounds|Newgrounder]] and his brother uses is used in a completely un-ironic fashion. It can take a while to realize this.
** In that same vein, ''[[The Trapped Trilogy]]'' needs a mention. The puzzles are laughable, the story is stupid, and the whole thing takes itself way too seriously.
* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fvwsFINveY Girl vs. Vampire].'' It's impossible to tell if the creators were serious. It stars a friend of the channel's owner, who pimp slaps the "Vampire" (which is really... a mannequin?) in slow motion. Then it repeats in normal speed and plays the rest of the video, which is her [[Cluster F

* [[T Barb Drills]] and his friend made Golduck Production, a video described as "This is intended to be laughably bad. considering; all the actors are action figures, the cast are mostly morons, it was made after 11:00 PM, Me and my best friend were feeling kooky, I got new [[Pokémon]] figures, and the dialogue is nuts. This was made for a good laugh and I was not serious at the time of the recording." It's on Youtube and you can find it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUSnoXaCMZI here.]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwtilmZ7f7M Its sequel]. Or the "episodes" but sadly not [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahEY_HiexS8&feature=response_watch the third movie which is a solo project] that's simply [[Rule of Cool]], [[Rule of Funny]], slapstick, and Clips strangely put together. They turned it into art and still have to tell people," It's not good, it's bad. Lol"
* Depends on who you ask, but to many, this is the main appeal of [[YouTube]]'s (in?)famous [[Fred]] videos.
* About 45% of [[Ad of Lose (Darth Wiki)|this site's ads]].▼

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQOLO4U5iQ This arms company's advertisement for Aero India 2009.] It manages to get everything so incredibly wrong that it becomes so bloody hilarious when you realize it's supposed to sell those missiles the girls are dancing around.
* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvbL_5rH1QQ Let's Paint TV]'', a call-in TV show where the host runs on a treadmill while painting and mixing drinks. Sadly, most of the people who call the host are disgruntled gang members, jerks who make fun of the host, and perverts who hit on his female co-host. It has to be seen to be believed.
* ''[[Half

* Song parody website Amiright features a lot of these, and the names of the parodists who write them are [[Punny Name|even wackier than the songs themselves]], for instance some of the editors are quite fond of [[Theme Naming]]. One of which is Agrimorfee - whose name sounds like the name of a Greek god or [[Harry Potter]] character and get this... [[Meaningful Name|his name *means* 'parody.']]
* ''[http://www.conservapedia.com/ Conservapedia]''. The only source of online information free from the 'bias of the [[Strawman Political|liberal media]]'.
** So popular among online trolls that [[
** The [[George W. Bush]] article once said that he was "one of the greatest presidents in American history," that he was "successfully able to salvage the Hurricane Katrina rescue effort after it was sabotaged by a Democratic/Islamo-Fascist conspiracy" and that his unpopularity was due mainly to him being forced by the Democratic Congress to push through bailout packages.
** At least part of the reason for its popularity with trolls lies with its creator having a ''massive'' case of [[Small Name, Big Ego]], and handing out free passes to anyone who supports him in unrelated discussions.
** They accuse [[Barack Obama]] of [[Ultimate Evil|everything under the sun]], claiming that he's a [[Commie Nazis|Nazi Communist]] (somehow) who was only elected due to his ''mind controlling policy''.
** The guy who founded the place also wants to make his own version of the Bible that removes all references to mercy. Think about it.
** That all said, Conservapedia has been primarily edited by trolls ever since its rise to infamy, so exactly how much, if any, of this is sincere is impossible to determine.
** The quotes section from the [http://www.conservapedia.com/Donald_Trump Donald Trump] article:
{{quote|
''"We have no leader in this country."''
''"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people," and "It's just very, very sad..."''
''"I'm Obama's Worst Nightmare"''
''"[[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|You're Fired]]"'' }}
** Their article about the [[European Union]] once said that its capital city was "[[You Fail Geography Forever|The city of Brussels in France]]".
** Their article on jaundice has, since 2008, contained an incorrect claim that too much antigen can cause it.
** Their articles on bands are cryworthy in terms of ridiculousness. Apparently [[The Decemberists]] "endorse Barack Obama for the presidency ''and/or kingship.''"
** They claim that the BBC is linked to ''Al-Qaeda''.
* The Official Flash "Animation" Series ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snOiIZihXAc Transformers: Action Blast]''. Aside from standard bad Flash Animation and a plot ripped wholesale from the pilot episode of ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'', the numerous non-sequitur (The insane rambling narrator, Megatron being [[Dull Surprise|dully]] outraged by ''cars'', the Autobots scanning theirs alt-modes with [[Eye Beams]]...) makes it strangely hilarious.
** Also, its sequel ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1puWC-5t7mU&feature=related Fight For Energon.]''
* ''[[Pube Muppet]]'' (Warning, [[NSFW]].)

Mentioned quite a lot of times on [[Retsupurae]]'s channel on [[YouTube]] (which mocks bad [[Let's Play]] videos), there is nothing that can be said about the person/organization's videos that isn't "What the?" The videos themselves are from a TV show called ''Flights of Fantasy'' that supposedly aired in the 1990s. The organization NAViGaTR (which stands for [[Fun

* ''[[Time Cube]]''. Militantly atheistic, racist, and homophobic rants against "educated stupid queer oneness." According to this philosophy, there are four simultaneous days occurring at any one time (but there is no "one" time, or "one" anything), a metaphor somehow best understood by a cube, all things existing in antipodes (as a consequence of which, [[Writers Cannot Do Math|-1 * -1 = -1]], since 1 can only exist as the opposite to -1), all "explained" in bizarrely constructed sentences in centered [[Bold Inflation|boldface]] with all manner of text effects and [[Rainbow Speak|colors]] on a grid background with seemingly random vertices rotated for reasons that make sense if you understand his thesis. If you do, however, [[Go Mad

Line 66 ⟶ 61:
** What makes his apparent failure to grasp figurative language even funnier is that he frequently claims Sartin and MacLennan have a ''worse'' grasp of English than he does. Yet they're the ones using metaphor and simile, and he's the one failing to recognise it.

** If nothing else, you've gotta love the way Hall [[Feigning Intelligence|genuinely tries to take on the tone of an intellectual]] (going on an on about how superior his grammar is, the complexities of the research he did, how he's just ''[[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions|too smart]]'' for religion, etc.) while simultaneously insisting upon the undeniable necessity of canyon-wide sphincters and 'fist-fucking' in any proper RPG experience.
*** And it's not even that he's trying to justify "fist-fucking." He's trying to use the most scholarly language he can imagine, while also stopping to comment "Cookie Monster is cool! They call that death metal." That last one actually suggests he thinks by typing this rebuttal he is involved in a real-time conversation with the reviewers, because it was in response to a rhetorical question made for the sake of a joke.
** There's also the part where he talks about how hot his wife is, and how he "knows from personal experience" that an [[Bigger Is Better in Bed|overly large dong makes sex painful]].

* [[Banana Clan]], an animated series where all the episodes that are more than 5 seconds long are HILARIOUS.
* Many videos by Youtube user "Aloyalgamer", particularly his [[Let's Play]] of [[Suikoden II]]. Among other things, he sometimes attempts to voice act for the characters' written dialogue (his voice for Luca Blight sounds like a tea kettle on helium), he is infamous for dropping incredibly blatant "hints" towards later plot events, often forgets to keep track of time and routinely ends vidoes mid-scene, mid-battle or even mid-sentence, and in later videos frequently belched during the recordings. He once recorded a series of videos after having recently undergone dental surgery. Perhaps most [[Egregious|egregiously]], however, was when he nonchalantly and very loudly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7_1dhtVNJc&feature=related chowed down on popcorn] while recording the ''[[Final Boss|final sequence of the game.]]'' And yet he is just so ''enthusiastic'' about everything he does and possesses such a degree of earnestness his videos are made [[Adorkable|better for it, not worse.]]
* The Adventures of Alex the Fox. A weird Sonic fan-cartoon starring a [[Self Insert]] fox named Alex, taking place in the [[Sonic X]]-verse. If the animation wasn't laughable enough, the [[Narm|Narmtastic]] voice acting is.

Four cartoons ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPse7dcXwrU 1], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baC-f_P7vjY&feature=relmfu 2], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGfjyDALM2Q 3] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AztadS4M3vA 4]) about a spin off character of McGruff the Crime Dog, a little cat called [[Punny Name|Faux Paw]] who teaches kids how to use the internet safely. The animation is like something from an mid-90s PC game, the music sounds like it was [[Plagiarism|stolen]] from an episode of [[Looney Tunes]] and the messages are really [[Did Not Do the Research|off the mark]]. But despite all of that, they have some [[Narm Charm|strange, inexplicable appeal]].
** Faux Paw herself ([[Viewer Gender Confusion|Yes, she is female]]) is peculiar as well. First of all she has the worst [[Just a Stupid Accent|French accent]] ever. She sounds more like a Russian pretending to be Irish. Also, she has six toes on her paws, which just looks [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy]]. Finally, she's an [[Too Dumb to Live|idiot]], she causes all the problems yet [[Karma Houdini|no one blames her for it]]. But lets face it, she's adorable, [[Tastes Like Diabetes|painfully so at times]], so its hard not to like, just a little.
* [[C Boyardee]]'s ''[[Dilbert]]'' trilogy. Originally made as an art appreciation project, these short videos feaure [[Mind Screw|mindbending plots]] and [[Nightmare Fuel|grotesque visuals]].
