So Bad It's Good/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

** The random interruptions were moved to another site. The [[Fan Service]] is still pretty cool, though.

* ''[[Concession]]'' appears to a perfect example of this trope. Granted Immy's improved his art considerably (it's still nothing to write home about) but with gratuitous [[Furry Fandom|furry]] [[Fetish Fuel|sex]], over-the-top [[Battle in The Centre of The Mind|battles of the mind]] and a [[Wangst|wangsting]] [[Marty Stu]] wolf with evil psychic powers as the protagonist it's just hard to deny. All while still under the face of being a gag a day comic no less. Despite the [[Anti-Villain|sympathetic]] [[Backstory]], Joel is clearly the bad guy. The whole point of the character is that you are supposed to feel conflicted about rooting for him, because he is an [[Nietzsche Wannabe|evil controlling bastard]].

** Then there are instances where the plot (still maintaining the gag a day format) delves into pedastery and brain cancer. See the scene where the rat blames his child molestation on his brain cancer -- something that was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded and made fun of later on]] with the real reason being revealed. And dear God the strawmen, every Christian character is a veritable bag full o' them.

** ''Concession'' '''defines''' the term [[Narm Charm]].

* The overall quality of ''[[Cheshire Crossing]]'' is actually [[So Okay It's Average|not so bad]] - however, its artwork definitely falls into this category. To say that copy-pasting is rampant in the comic is a gross understatment - ''every'' female character [[You All Look Familiar|looks like the same woman with a wig and a different dress]], and every male character looks like a ten-year-old boy. There's just something irrepressibly hilarious about the shoddiness of it all.

* ''[http://www.drunkduck.com/Powerup_Comics/ Powerup Comics]'' is a deliberate attempt to straddle this and [[So Bad It's Horrible]]. The main characters are blatant [[Marty Stu|Marty Stus]] who only have two poses (endlessly copied and pasted). The punchlines often rely on blatant discrimination and ''intentional'' [[Internet Backdraft|backdrafting]]. But once you accept that the comic is irredeemably awful, the numerous art errors and [[Orphaned Punchline|non-punchlines]] like "Okay Shadow I know how you love to game!" suddenly become hilarious. Whether you love it or hate it largely depends on whether you're [[Stealth Parody|in on the joke]].

* The ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]'' BS arc [http://www.pholph.com/whole_arc_viewer.php?id=5&sid=1508 Frigid McThunderbones] would certainly fall into this category. David Hopkins has quite clearly set out to use this trope in the entire arc. Not only does he parody a wide variety of awful material, but he does it in such a way it's actually funny at times (which is somewhat surprising, considering that ''Jack'' is normally a serious story comic).

* Any webcomic made by [[8-Bit Theater ~~(Webcomic)~~|Brian Clevinger's]] friend Ryan Sosa. But especially the now-defunct [http://www.comixpedia.org/index.php?title=The_Real_Life_Adventures_of_Brian_and_Sosa "Real Life Adventures of Brian and Sosa."]

* Any webcomic made by [[8-Bit Theater|Brian Clevinger's]] friend Ryan Sosa. But especially the now-defunct [http://www.comixpedia.org/index.php?title=The_Real_Life_Adventures_of_Brian_and_Sosa "Real Life Adventures of Brian and Sosa."]

** The first strip, transcribed from memory: Brian: Oh noes! it's the red phone! Sosa: That means there must be trouble downtown! Brian: To the [[You Fail Physics Forever|space helicopter]]! SFX: Thumpa Thumpa Thumpa! Sosa: It's [[Rob Liefeld]]! He's destroying perspective! [[Rob Liefeld]]: Roar! Sosa: Oh god! I can see you're front and back at the same time! Brian: are you moving towards me or away from me? Sosa: I have no idea!Brian: I'll stop him with insults! Hey Rob! nobody likes you! [[Rob Liefeld]]: People don't like yogurt either. I'm like yogurt. Brian: Oh god! His logic hurts me! Sosa: I'll stop him with violence! SFX: pow! [[Rob Liefeld]]: Arrgh! Naration: [[Chris Claremont]] swears revenge! [[Chris Claremont]]: I hates them!

*** And that is arguably the strip that makes the MOST sense.

* ''[http://starfightercomic.com/ Starfighter]'' has interesting, beautiful art. However, it also has such unspeakably stereotypical [[Yaoi]] in it that a parody of it would be the ''exact same thing''. Bonus points for naming the protagonists [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|Cain and Abel]], and for portraying the relationship between them as that of a sexual predator and his prey, and yet the 'prey' ends up succumbing to him in the end.

* ''[http://www.hamstard.com Hamstard]'', a [[Stylistic Suck|deliberately awful]] strip [[Cut and Paste Comic|"drawn"]] by the main character of ''[[Erfworld]]''.

Line 30:

* [http://www.daydreamspiral.com/brutus/ Brutus] relies heavily on this trope.

* [[Sonichu]] falls somewhere between this and it's sister trope: [[So Bad It's Horrible]]. On one hand, the media body of the comic and author's antics (which are explicitly connected), are heinously bad in all regards. On the other hand, [[Bile Fascination]] and strange "I can't believe he went there" events make the books actually rather entertaining.

** The meticulously-maintained troll-wiki "[[CW Cki]]" is perhaps the ultimate testament to this. Despite being horrible, the comic/media entity has inspired one of the most aggressively detailed wikis outside of [[Homestar Runner]].

* [http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=85439 Shadow's Quest Adventure] is a webcomic by user [[Shadowfan 0 X 90]] (Or one of his many, ''many'' alternate accounts, due to being repeatedly banned) It has quite a mlarge amount of people who hate it, and yet can't quite stop reading it due to it [[So Bad It's Good|being so unquestionably awful.]] Bad grammar, poor presentation and loads of plot holes (A good few of them being characters dying and coming back to life for no reason) just make it all the more entertaining.

* [http://lazerbot.deviantart.com/gallery/33150480?offset=72 Lazerbot's "sonic comic"], a hilariously bad tale of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover|pals]], how they deal with [[Troll|trolls]], and how [[Everyone Is Gay]]. [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Except Sonic, clearly.]] [[MST|MSTed]] version [http://chanarchive.org/4chan/co/36659/miserable-web-comics here].
