10 | So Bad, It's Horrible are the works with the lowest writing quality of all: those which gain no genuine audience whatsoever. Trying to give them a quality rating is like trying to measure the depth of a black hole: It has none. |
11 | |
12 | Or anyhow, that's how all people who read/watch/play/etc. the work have perceived it as. The work is absolutely terrible, and not just because of [[UnfortunateImplications unfortunate]] or otherwise offensive content. No [[CondemnedByHistory past]] or [[VindicatedByHistory present]] positive opinions can be found about the work, nor does it contain GuiltyPleasures or anything SoBadItsGood. It's hated globally, not just in [[AmericansHateTingle local or foreign markets]]. |
13 | |
14 | Such works can be recognized by the following: |
15 | * The work as a whole is truly terrible by the standard of the medium involved, with a low quality in all aspects of work creation: storytelling, drawing, writing, and so on. |
16 | * The work has a small audience, and if it's produced for profit it has [[BoxOfficeBomb poor sales]]. |
17 | * The work has been panned by multiple critics for its low quality. The work's flaws may be parodied by a number of other works, and in some cases the work may even become a pop culture-level SnarkBait. |
18 | * If a work deals with controversial subject matter such as politics or religion, it received criticism [[DontShootTheMessage even from people who'd otherwise agree with the views presented]]. |
19 | |
20 | Reality, of course, has its share of examples too. (See DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming, DarthWiki/IdiotDesign, and the Real Life folders of CrappyCarnival and [[TheAllegedCar/RealLife The Alleged Car]].) Popular works, [[StylisticSuck deliberately badly-done works]], and [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck individual episodes and chapters]] don't belong here. Also avoid making this an outlet for Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike; just because ''you'' think something sucks doesn't necessarily mean it fulfills any of the above criteria. |
21 | |
22 | If the creator joins in hazing the work, CreatorBacklash ensues. |
23 | |
24 | '''Given the controversial nature of this trope, it is strongly encouraged to filter new examples through the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15574101790A64005900 cleanup thread]] before posting them.''' |
25 | |
26 | '''All examples must be at least a month old before posting so that the works can be properly judged, to prevent knee-jerk reactions from happening, and to make sure no fixes or improvements are coming, so Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease''' |
27 | |
28 | '''Non-commercial amateur works such as FanFiction, {{Game Mod}}s, or musicians who aren't selling their songs are disqualified, since [[SturgeonsLaw there's so much of it that it's just not worth bringing them up]], [[ComplainingAboutThingsYouHaventPaidFor the standard for quality is much lower for such works]], and in the case of fan fiction, they run afoul of Administrivia/TheContentPolicy due to rampant NSFW content. Anything that's being sold or is otherwise meant to earn money (such as advertisements or mobile games with in-game ads) is fair game.''' |
