Line 126:
* [[Sean Malstrom]] does this all the time, with his highly negative opinions on [[Super Mario 64|every]] [[Super Mario Sunshine|3D]] [[Super Mario Galaxy|Mario]] [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|game]], as well as everything [[Metroid|Yoshio Sakamoto]] touches, being some of the most notorious.
* The http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ animation news site]] [[Cartoon Brew]] tends to do this a lot, especially with anything Disney or Dreamworks. This borders on [[Fan Dumb]] territory with the article bashing ''[[Tangled]]'' for using a parody of the double rainbow, conveniently forgetting the time ''[[Adventure Time]]'' parodied the same exact video in an ad.
* [http://badwebcomics.wikidot.com/ The Bad Webcomic Wiki] is entirely about this trope. Unfortunately, [[Sturgeon's Law|90% of reviews aren't much else,]] [[Internet Backdraft|with its review]] of ''[[
* [[Read It and Weep]] is a podcast that exists solely to make fun of terrible things. ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' especially.
* [http://screamsheet.wordpress.com The Screamsheet] has a lot of this trope, especially if the site owner gets talking about [[David Lynch]], ''Highlander'', or bad comics in general. He has apparently made more of an attempt to give credit where it is due and focus on the positive aspects of the things he discusses, but still does plenty of ranting and raving.
Line 164:
== Professional 'Wrestling' - see 'Theatre', but think 'Lowest Common Denominator' and '[[Ho Yay]]'. Of course, all the ''proper'' fighting contests are illegal now... 'sigh'. ==
* ''[[Wrestlecrap]]'''s slogan is, "The worst in [[Professional Wrestling|wrestling]] is here!" and boy, do they live up to it. The tone varies by subject, from light-hearted jabbing to completely hateful ranting, but, with the exception of the ''Rewriting The Book'' section, it's always negative. Despite their negativity (or perhaps because of the good humor they show about it most of the time), they've managed to gain quite the following in the wrestling industry, and even managed to get an audio interview with one of their most common targets, Vince Russo.
* The so-called [[YouTube]] [[In Name Only|"shooters"]] (intentionally put in quotes, because they're not in the wrestling business), like Bill & Doug (aka RVDTito4Life) and Kent Jones, who love to praise [[TNA]] and bash anything that's not TNA, like the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] or [[ROH]].
* And then there is the reaction from older British people who utterly loathe the American version of wrestling, which they see as over-produced, over-contrived, over-glitzy, over-glamorous, and unfortunately over here to the point of having displaced the native version from British TV screens. Like the American Army in [[WW 2]], American Wrestling is overmonied, oversexed, and over here, the grey squirrel imported from the USA and in the eyes of many, just as verminous. Older Brits look at the latest overmuscled American wunderkind shooting off at the lip, and speculate that arrogant bloody Yank wouldn't last five minutes in the ring with a ''real'' wrestler like Kendo Nagasaki or Mick McManus. Their grandchildren, WWF devotees, then say "who, Grandad?", and the oldie will sigh and say "I know it's before your time, lad, but we used to have ''real'' wrestling on TV on a Saturday afternoon on ''World of Sport''. And I'm telling you, they were 'real'' wrestlers..." and so on. Even though World of Sport belongs to the 1970's and the sort of cheap 'n' cheerful British wrestling circuit it showcased is virtually dead now, older fans still look back and sigh for the good old days.
