* "Music to Delight" by Creator/KevinMacLeod sounds terrible and totally off-key but that's no accident.

* To promote ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', Creator/{{Pixar}} would produce a fake [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6dZtNYGlLM commercial]] for Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear that is deliberately done in the [[Main/{{Retraux}} style of '80s cheesy toy commercials]], complete with a poorly tracked VCR style effect over the footage.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6dZtNYGlLM This]] commercial for [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Lotso-Huggin' Bear]]. [[spoiler:Which is actually a ViralMarketing campaign created by Pixar.]]

* In ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' Nagi's greatest dream in life is to become a famous {{Mangaka}}. Too bad the only people capable of understanding the [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible completely nonsensical]] plot of her manga are herself and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} her friend Isumi]].

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', whenever Rukia uses her hand-made drawings to explain the spirit world and Hollows to Ichigo, they look as if they were done by a six year old. Ichigo never fails to point out how much her art style sucks. And usually gets hit because of it. Apparently Byakuya has a very similar art style.

* In ''Manga/YouAndMe'', the boys try to make an amateur manga for a club activity. They each draw a page and the quality keeps on changing throughout the story. One of the twins draws a very good adventurous page, while his brother made the knight wear a t-shirt and jeans because his costume too complicated and killed off the other two characters. Shun's page is very shoujo-esque with huge eyes which the others mock, and he inexplicably introduces a love interest. Chizuru just right out [[GenreShift changes the genre]] from a fantasy to a school drama, [[HerCodeNameWasMarySue blatantly self inserts]] himself and his crush as the main characters, and has them randomly get married. Kaname's art skills are [[TerribleArtist just so bad]] that the others can't even focus on the sappy ending where they [[BabiesEverAfter have a kid]].

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': [[invoked]] Applies in-universe to the porn fanfic referenced in “The Cameo,” described as “featuring some of the most overripe prose since Creator/EdwardBulwerLytton’s heyday.” The few oblique references made to the writing fully support this. Also frequently implied in-universe with regards to Bolt’s former TV show, and treated as a RunningGag; an example from “The Imaginary Letters:”
-->'''Bolt:''' You know how I feel about "Bolt" -- glad I did it, but a little embarrassed at how earnest I was on such a silly program. Rhino was a great guy, but wow -- his devotion to my show was puzzling, gotta say.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': Percy's homemade guns are described extensively, as Taliesin, the person playing him, is very knowledgeable about firearms, and with each new gun design must prove to the DungeonMaster that he can create a working firearm with the materials he can find in a medieval fantasy world. When a fan pointed out to him that several of his guns had design flaws that would make them near-impossible to use without destroying them in the process, Taliesin clarified that that was ''completely'' on purpose -- Percy is the first person in his world to have ever built, let alone ''used'' a firearm, and given that he's a twenty-something aristocrat with severe PTSD and a pact with a murderous revenge demon very intrinsically tied to his pepperbox pistol, going back to remove all the AwesomeButImpractical features would not be very high on his priority list. And his guns do, in fact, ''very frequently'' break during normal use.

** The above-mentioned Thundercracker is later commissioned to make a {{Biopic}} about Starscream’s life. By this point Thundercracker’s writing has improved... kind of. The dialogue is ''slightly'' less stilted and [[ShownTheirWork he actually does research to make the film accurate]], but that’s about it. The rest of production is [[TroubledProduction a nightmare]]; the film goes through numerous rewrites, is [[WTHCastingAgency horribly miscast]], the lead actor walks out mid-filming, [[SpecialEffectFailure the special effects are cheap]], stock footage of an actual riot is used to avoid spending money on recreating it, and Thundercracker’s [[BiasSteamroller personal biases frequently shine through in the writing]]. His follow-up, based on the story of GI Joe operative Chuckles, does seem to be a bit better regarded though.

* While much of the composition of ''Art/LeDejeunerSurLHerbe'' could be considered amateur, what makes it different is that Manet purposefully made these errors. The woman in the pond is too large for how far away the painting implies her to be, with her thumb lining up with the man on the right's thumb to collapse the illusion of depth. The nude woman is depicted with an absence of contrast you would see from nudes in other paintings, with critics commenting that the lighting looks as though it was done in a studio. What few shadows there are depicts them as stark compared to her light skin, the shadows almost outlining her figure. While the figures have impressive attention to detail, the grass and other details in the background look poorly-detailed and unfinished, something that would later define other {{Impressionis|m}}t painters.

%%* Any time a superhero comic appears ''in'' a superhero comic, it's done like this.

!!Examples:

* WebVideo/DarkSimpsons has their subset of videos titled the "Seamless Cut" which intentionally forgo trying to make edited scenes from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' fit together, named after a scene in the ''Simpsons'' episode "Radioactive Man", [[StockFootageFailure where the editor of the "Radioactive Man" movie humorously fails to put together the movie after one of its stars, Milhouse, ran away]].

* ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged'': One of the main sources of humor comes from taking the design flaws present in the in-universe [=MMORPGs=] from the original series (stemming from Reki Kawahara's admitted inexperience with video games) and using them to portray the games as horribly designed {{Obvious Beta}}s.

** His followup ''The Soundtrack Collection'' is a movie and tv theme CoverAlbum, and is more based around synthesized instrumentation, but still focuses on his inept piano or keyboard playing for comic effect. The opening track also has him singing Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" offkey -- only for Loggins himself to stop the music and engage in a staged StudioChatter argument about its stylistic suck nature, then leave in disgust.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'' features an in-universe student film advertisement that Earth House made for GUND-ARM Inc. and it… well, it looks about how you'd expect for something made by a bunch of college students with no filmmaking experience whatsoever. It features [[HollywoodToneDeaf a strange, off-key]] choir song performed by the class as music, [[BadBadActing Suletta can't act to save her life]] and moves really awkwardly (clearly taking great effort to hit her marks), the footage is [[StockFootageFailure very obviously edited together from different takes]] because Suletta couldn't do her whole routine in one go despite the video only being about thirty seconds long, a goat wanders into frame repeatedly, the audio is poorly edited, and Ariel is [[SpecialEffectsFailure badly green-screened into the shot, with her movements being wildly out of sync with Suletta and the rest of the video]].

* Parody animator Roger van der Weide, creator of ''WebAnimation/KingdumbHearts'' and numerous ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' parodies, animates pretty much all his videos in the same limited style, often accompanied by [[HeliumSpeech squeaky, high-pitched voices]]. Some of his earlier videos actually state in the loading screen that they're ''supposed'' to look terrible.

* ''WebVideo/{{Garfielf}}'' could easily be summed up as an experiment for how far into this trope can one go while still preserving ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'''s core jokes. The spelling and grammar is [[RougeAnglesOfSatin abysmal]], DerangedAnimation abounds, the dialogue is entirely TextToSpeech and frequently jumps up and down in volume, the music is off-kilter and creepy, and the "narrative" is an entirely unstructured sequence of RunningGags with no clear punchlines and an UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtLB9hShasiTdErpU_6uh8w Roger van der Weide]][='s=] animations, such as the ''WebAnimation/SonicInXMinutes'' series, are this, with the deliberately crude art style.
** Roger actually manages to ''invoke'' this in the last minute or so of [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld Lost World]] [[https://youtu.be/h4VlHKrmydU?t=5m57s in ??? minutes?]] as a subtle TakeThat to [[AntiClimaxBoss the game's]] [[LeftHanging clearly]] [[AWinnerIsYou rushed]] [[HijackedByGanon ending]].

* The [[NonIndicativeFirstEpisode first (in airing order) episode]] of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'''s anime adaptation, "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina", is a ''gloriously'' bad student film made by the main characters, with a plotline that makes no sense, random scene changes, flat characters, [[BadBadActing appalling acting]], shoddy directing (the conversation where both characters are facing right springs to mind), ''really'' badly animated special effects (with one exception -- that happens to nearly take out the cameraman) and an opening song which sounds like it's being sung at gunpoint. And [[DeadpanSnarker Kyon]] [[LemonyNarrator commenting]] on all this. An early fansub added to this by applying subtitles and karaoke that were reminiscent of those you'd find on old fansubs, complete with [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} Comic Sans]] and a static karaoke with notes.

* The hat of Creator/MischiefTheatre. All of their shows feature shoddily built sets, BadBadActing, stagehands being visible when they shouldn’t be, bad takes of recording and pre-filmed inserts and every actor manages to ruin their parts through their own quirks (Robert’s MilkingTheGiantCow, Sandra over sexualising every character she plays, Max breaking character to mug, Dennis forgetting his lines and so on). Zigzagged with the plots themselves, as while they make coherent sense, there is a lot of padding in the dialogue and staging requirements that almost kill the cast.

* Music/JonLajoie is a legitimately good rapper, despite all his songs being comedic. His persona of MC Vagina, on the other hand, delivers nothing but PissTakeRap, with his nasally voice and lack of rhythm, droning out inept lyrics like "[[BoastfulRap I buy a lot of expensive things because I have a lot of money]]" and "I'm invincible, like Bruce Willis in the movie ''Invincible''/I'm invisible, like... well, I'm not really invisible."

* In the 70s sci-fi world from the Gemini arc of ''Podcast/{{Sequinox}}'', everything resembles a bad tv set, from visible boom mics to a ScreenShake occurring rather than actual damage to their ship, to Gemini and the Gemmies looking like people in bad costumes.

* The Surfsiders were a group of studio musicians hired in 1965 to rush out an album of Music/BeachBoys covers to cash in on the Beach Boys' growing fame: said album was regarded as SoBadItsGood among record collectors and Beach Boys fans due to the off-key barbershop harmonies and chintzy production. In 2012, a group calling themselves The New Surfsiders formed to parody the album by exaggerating the flaws of its performances and arrangements for comic effect: The Surfsiders' album added the same saxophone riff in different keys to two different Beach Boys songs, so The New Surfsiders incorporate this same riff somewhere in ''every'' song as a RunningGag. The Surfsiders did an [[LyricalDissonance inappropriately cheery-sounding]] version of melancholy ballad "The Warmth Of The Sun", so The New Surfsiders did an uptempo, twist-style version of the even more melancholy ballad "Till I Die".

* Three words -- ''SpringtimeForHitler''. A DoubleSubversion variation in that it's meant to suck, but of course turns into SoBadItsGood.
