Some webcomicsweb comics are good. [[Sturgeon's Law|A lot of them are bad]]. And some [[So Bad It's Good|come to a strange line between quality and enjoyability]].
----
 
* It's never quite clear whether it's intentional or not, but between the occasional interruptions for captioned photographs of tech support calls, an utterly bizarre early gender [[The Reveal|reveal]], an [[Unwanted Harem]] that puts [[Tenchi Muyo!|Tenchi]] to shame, a political filler that's no more or less than a black(?!?) Nazi with W's where swastikas should be, and a [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]] {{spoiler|lesbian sex scene}}, ''[[Too Much Information]]'' definitely fits.
** 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|wangstingwangst]]ing [[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 pedasterypederasty 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 understatmentunderstatement - ''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.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130719023942/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).

* [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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20120713053153/http://chanarchive.org/4chan/co/36659/miserable-web-comics here].
