** The Coal Miner's Glove (a leather glove, covered in metal studs) was a supposed to be a [[Shout-Out]] to an even worse match from before the Monday Night Wars era. Back in the early 90s [[Good Is Dumb|Sting]] was feuding with [[Smug Snake|Jake Roberts]], who devised that they "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" a match where various gimmick matches were on a giant wheel, and whatever it landed on would be the match they would face off in. However, the wheel itself wasn't gimmicked, and it landed on the worst possible option—a "Coal Miner's Glove" match. Whoever retrieved the glove from the pole first, would be allowed to "use" it on his opponent.
* Arguably, [[The Undertaker]]. One of the best big men in the wrestling business, and a solid [[WWE]] worker for over twenty years doesn't change the fact that he's a Satan-worshipping, gravedigging zombie cult leader Death Incarnate who was a biker for a while back at the turn of the century. It's even more [[Narm Charm]] in modern times, when most wrestlers are less cartoonish, yet [[The Undertaker]] still is portrayed as a supernatural force.
* NXT Season 3. The show is [[Stylistic Suck|so ridiculously bad on purpose]], that it seems like its target audience are those who read [[Wrestlecrap]] every week. It's almost as if WWE took everything that was [[narm]]y about the WWE Divas, [[Accentuate the Negative|highlighted it]], and placed a few other comedy acts on the show to act as foils, such as [[Heel]] [[Michael Cole]], [[Cross DresserCrossdresser|Goldust]], and [[The Scrappy|Vickie]] [[Large Ham|Guerrero]]. By Week 3, the show was so bad that you had [[Michael Cole]] banging a [[The Gong Show|gong]] at ringside following the rookie challenges. The show's entire appeal is the ensuing [[Narm Charm]], as well as Cole and Josh Mathews sarcastic remarks on everyone else involved.
** Episode 4 would up the ante even further by introducing [[CM Punk]] on commentary, reprising a role he once played in early [[Ring of Honor]] shows. Punk would play the role of [[Deadpan Snarker]] to perfection, even delivering a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when he pointed out that he wasn't wearing any pants (he had his ring gear on covered by a sports coat), and then pointed out that [[A Date with Rosie Palms|he watched NXT every week without pants]]. When Punk closed the show by announcing that he would be returning the next week, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|the five people that still watched the show rejoiced]].
*** Sadly, that would turn out to be [[Blatant Lies]]. However, Cole, Josh, and Matt Striker still bring the awesome every week.

* At least for some readers, [[Dungeons and& Dragons|Gary Gygax]]'s prose style is reminiscent of the Mencken quote atop this page.
* The [[Dungeons and& Dragons]] [http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Tool.aspx?x=dnd/4new/tool/cng Character Name Generator] has a tendency to produce unintentionally hilarious names.
* To many, ''World of Synnibarr'' qualifies. While the mechanics are terrible and the setting incoherent, it's still a game with a "midnight sunstone bazooka", mechanics that affect the ''next'' character you roll up, and an actual [[Deus Ex Machina]] roll to see if your patron deity turns up to save your life.
* ''[http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=93237 Strike Legion]'' is what ''[[Limbo of the Lost]]'' wants to be: Something that ripped off so many sources it digs right out of the barrel-bottom of absolute shit and becomes hilarious awesome.
