* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_<!-- 22The_Eagle22_Edwards%22The_Eagle%22_Edwards Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards]], a British ski jumper who [[LoopholeAbuseLoophole Abuse|qualified for the 1988 Winter Olympics]] because every country was (at the time) allowed to be represented in any given discipline, and he was the only British applicant. Edwards had the disadvantages of weighing 9 kg more than the next man in his category and being extremely far-sighted, and his general skills were [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7MmJIy0bjo less than stellar]] to say the least. Nevertheless, his sheer determination and love of the sport endeared him to audiences everywhere. [[StopHavingFunGuysStop Having Fun Guys|The Olympic Committee]] was less enthusiastic about someone "making a mockery of the sport", however, and the rules for qualification were [[ObviousRulePatchObvious Rule Patch|changed next time around]], largely to prevent another such case from happening. -->
** There's even a mini-meme atached to him. Every single youtube video featuring him has, as on of the top rated comments "Legend".
** Featured at the same Olympics were the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_bobsled_team Jamaican bobsled team] who inspired the movie [[Cool Runnings]] five years later. Though they haven't competed in the Olympics recently, the Jamaican bobsled team did place as high as 14th (ahead of the USA, Russia, France, and one Italian sled) in the 1994 Winter Olympics.
Line 85:
** Within the show itself, the pinnacle of accidental hilarity has to be "Don't Waste the Moon", a retread of the old "girls want relationships, boys want sex" chestnut with awesomely lame lyrics like "We would go bowling if you really cared / But you don't! ("I do!") You don't!"
* [[Show Within a Show]] example: "Pyramus and Thisbe" in ''[[A Midsummer Nights Dream]]''. It's so badly written and wretchedly performed that it's hilarious. The Duke and his guests order it performed just for the [[Snark Bait]].
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Coates_<!-- 28actor29%28actor%29 Robert Coates]] was such an infamously bad actor people would flock to see him just to see how bad he was. -->
* From the [[Dream Team]] of [[U 2|Bono, The Edge]] and [[The Lion King|Julie Taymor]] comes the legendarily [[Troubled Production]] of ''[[Spider Man Turn Off the Dark (Theater)|Spider Man Turn Off the Dark]]''!
