Accentuate the Negative: Difference between revisions

* [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] trashes comic books, but Lewis Lovhaug has pointed out that this is the entire ''point'' of his show, and has asked fans not to send or recommend good comics. Though he will praise good elements, and on occasion subverts his own [[Catch Phrase]] "This comic sucks!" (usually with something like "This comic is...just okay" or "not THAT bad").

* This is EGM game reviewer [[Seanbaby]]'s preferred method of reviewing, since he specifically seeks out bad games. When one review of his was devoted solely to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120226133724/http://www.seanbaby.com/egm/karnaajrally.htm mocking the box art of a popular game], people sent in letters demanding that he actually review the game itself. Seanbaby's response was "My review is done: the box isn't very good. If I knew how to review a game based on gameplay mechanics or whatever, me and my Gamecube wouldn't be forced to watch puppets shit every month."

* The biggest reason to watch Yahtzee's ''[[Zero Punctuation]]'' reviews is to listen to a [[The Mean Brit|Mean Brit]] [[Motor Mouth|talk very fast]] about games he hates. There ''are'' some games he enjoys unreservedly, like ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' and ''[[Psychonauts]]''. With ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', he showed mild shock and disgust with ''himself'' for loving it so completely, and his ''Psychonauts'' review consisted of 40% [[Complaining About People Not Liking the Show|insulting the people who didn't buy it]], 20% bashing ''[[Halo]]'' and [[Fan Hater|anyone that plays it]], 20% complaining that there aren't more original intellectual properties like this, and 20% actual praise. Not so surprisingly, he is a frequenter of the [[Website/Something Awful|Something Awful]] boards. Heck, he'll even do it to games he likes, like ''[[BioShock]]'', ''[[Call of Duty 4]]'', and ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''! At one point he actually said "There are a few nitpicks I could make but I wouldn't be the critic I like to think I am if I didn't pick nits like an amphetamine-fueled chimp" so he pretty much bound to the formula. As he put it, "[[Rule of Funny|It's not very funny to like a game.]]"

* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100329050428/http://badwebcomics.wikidot.com/elders-of-zion-archives Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad]''. While it did contain constructive criticism, the site absolutely ''hated'' the comics it reviewed and also bragged about hating the entire ''concept'' of a webcomic; it was not [[Affectionate Parody|affectionate]] or fannish in the least. Was it horrible or hilarious? ''You'' decide!
