Yeah! Suck my... duck?

"The human body is a beautiful thing. Most of the time. Ew."

The evil twin of Fan Service from another dimension, possibly with a goatse goatee (especially if female).

Fan Disservice looks like regular garden variety Fanservice, except that the creators intentionally use the circumstances around it to make the scene outright creepy or disgusting. Corpses in sexy poses, dialogue that adds Mood Dissonance, seeing someone naked who you really wouldn't want to see naked... there's a hundred and one ways that titillation can transform into horror.

Note that it often seems that film schools grind this into their students, as far too many movies intercut sex scenes with scenes of violence or squick, to truly rub in our faces the polarity of beauty and horror. Of course, the directors just want to be artists. But sometimes its implemented in a funny way, so the director can just mess with you.

Fan Disservice can still wind up being Fanservice, if you're into that sort of thing. Rule 36, people.

For the unintentional version, see Fetish Retardant.

When a work is marketed as sexy but fails to get audiences interested, see Erection Rejection.
