* The "UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward" (or "Razzies"), an annual cinematic awards show for "worst in film", are intentionally played up to be a legitimate awards show but with the feel of an Oscar-night knockoff, according to creator John Wilson:
-->'''Wilson:''' [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6392701.stm We copy the look of a traditional awards show, but the show is deliberately low-end and tacky.]]
* ''Film/{{No}}'': The film is about an ad man running the TV campaign to vote UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet out of office in 1988. So instead of being shot on film, the movie was shot on old-timey video cameras which evoke the look of live television in the 1980s. It's also shot in the 4:3 AspectRatio that was standard for TV of that era.
* All of the films by Larry Blamire, including ''Film/TheLostSkeletonOfCadavra'', ''The Lost Skeleton Returns Again'', ''Film/DarkAndStormyNight'', ''Film/TrailOfTheScreamingForehead'', and his ''Tales from the Pub'' shorts are this way -- the actors were playing the part of B-movie actors in a film, not like the characters. Plus [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetitive dialogue]], horrible special effects, repeating the dialogue, and [[SelfDemonstratingArticle dialogue that is repetitive]].
* The samples we get of the 'acting' in the adult entertainment movies in ''Film/BoogieNights'' are of course hilariously bad.
* ''The Dueling Cavaliers'', the first "talkie" movie made by silent stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont in the classic musical ''Film/SinginInTheRain'', is ''awful'' thanks to an unfortunate conjunction of many many small (and not-so-small) problems, not the least of which are Don throwing out lines he doesn't like, and Lina having a voice like fingernails on a blackboard. This is largely inspired by the real silent film star John Gilbert, who was completely unable to adjust to sound films (Don replacing his romantic speech in favor of just saying "I love you" over and over is directly based on something Gilbert actually did).
* ''Film/AmericasSweethearts'' opens with segments from the title characters' previous movies together. They are scenes that are just so completely generic, they would have no appeal whatsoever in the real world.
* Ironically, ''Film/KingKong2005'' used dialog from the [[Film/KingKong1933 original film]] to fit this trope.
* ''Film/{{Saved}}'' - at one point, the protagonist and her mother watch a TV movie about ovarian/uterine cancer starring Valerie Bertinelli, and it's even worse than you'd expect. Leads to the hilarious scene with the character praying for cancer (instead of pregnancy).
* ''Film/LivingInOblivion'' has three movies-within-the-movie. The second movie looks like a terrible soap-opera, with actors stiffly delivering over-wrought lines in black tie outfits. The third is a pseudo-''Series/TwinPeaks''-esque DreamSequence that looks silly. One of the actors calls the director out on the fact that the film indulges meaninglessly in LittlePeopleAreSurreal.
* This is the point of ''Film/TheProducers'', which has the main characters ''trying'' to make pure suck and accidentally ending up with SoBadItsGood hilarity instead... which is bad because success is [[SpringtimeForHitler exactly how]] their attempt to pull off a scam will get them caught.
* All the clips of the ShowWithinAShow "Crime Scene" from ''Film/ForgettingSarahMarshall'' fall under this. So does Aldous Snow's song "We Gotta Do Something" and its music video, in which Creator/RussellBrand does things like [[YouBastard glower accusingly at the camera]] while holding up signs that say, "HOW CAN YOU READ/WHEN YOU ARE BLIND," then simulate sex with a passing nun.
* In ''Film/ADogsBreakfast'', the space opera ''Starcrossed'' is intentionally melodramatic, over-acted and revoltingly soppy.
* Done ''on purpose'' and out of (in-story) necessity in ''Film/BeKindRewind''.
* Pretty much anything the characters on ''Film/TropicThunder'' are shown being part of. A good deal of it is based on actual bad movies. The dialogue in the film they're currently making is filled with cliches. One of Ben Stiller's character's previous movie ''Simple Jack'' is repeatedly mocked in-story.
* The writing of the title character of ''Film/BartonFink'' isn't so much sucky as [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible completely nonsensical]]. The "wrestling movie" Barton watches fits the trope well, though.
--> '''Wrestler:''' ''[repeatedly]'' ''I WILL '''DESTROY''' YOU!''
* In the movie ''House'' (no connection to the similarly-named show), the main character's wife is an actress on a cheesy soap opera called ''Resort'', filled with melodramatic and nonsensical lines like "My sister was an only child, and you abused that!"
* One of the extras on the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JxsZEZPkYE "Mr. Incredible and Pals"]], an in-universe cartoon starring Mr. Incredible, Frozone... and a rabbit-thing named [[SmallAnnoyingCreature Mr. Skipperdoo]]. The animation is [[LimitedAnimation not animated]] (a la ''WesternAnimation/ClutchCargo''), [[RaceLift Frozone is portrayed as a tan-skinned beatnik]], and the plot was clearly written for an audience of morons. There's also a [[AlternateDVDCommentary commentary]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R44MvXeEQw track]], in which Mr. Incredible and Frozone -- watching the cartoon fifteen years later -- decide that it's a good thing the cartoon never aired.
* In the Ronstadt/Kline film production of Creator/GilbertAndSullivan's ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'', the climactic battle interrupts a stilted, badly-played and sung version of G.&S.'s ''Theatre/HMSPinafore''; their way of saying, "Yes, there are many, many things wrong with this production, most of them Music/LindaRonstadt, but see ''how much worse it could have been in an old-fashioned, fuddy-duddy sort of way''."
* Yet another climactic battle, in ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', interrupts what looks to be an intensely stupid Creator/BusbyBerkeley-style musical number.
--> ''"Throw out your hands, stick out your tush/hands on your hips, give 'em a push!/Don't be surprised, you're doing the French Mistake, VOILA!''
* ''Film/TheBandWagon'', a musical about the making of a musical, showcases the rehearsal of a overblown, pretentious dance number that contributes to the show's total failure on opening night.
* "It Must Be June" from ''Film/FortySecondStreet'' is an example of intentionally bad songwriting.
* ''Film/InAndOut'' features a double Stylistic Suck: the film opens with extracts from a "serious" drama about gay men in the army, parodying every gay movie trope known to mankind. These extracts are being shown at a parody of the Academy Awards broadcast, which includes such nominations as "Creator/StevenSeagal for [[spoiler:''Snowball in Hell''".]]
* ''Film/{{Bowfinger}}'' concerns the production of a really stupid AlienInvasion movie called ''Chubby Rain''. Its success leads to the making of ''Fake Purse Ninjas'', which appears to be just as ridiculous.
* The entirety of FourthWall obliterating ''Film/AmazonWomenOnTheMoon'' consists of unstated FramingDevice of someone in the audience randomly switching channels from one Stylistic Suck parody to another, while nominally watching the eponymous movie. There isn't a single second of the film that isn't this trope.
* ''Film/LoveActually'' gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_JRyhJiXQ8&feature=related Christmas Is All Around]]. This is an odd example because the original song [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is_All_Around_%28The_Troggs_song%29 wasn't original to the film]]; it was a Troggs song, famously covered by Wet Wet Wet. The obnoxiousness of the Christmas version is in the blatant commercialism; according to writer Richard Curtis, "I couldn't think of a funnier way to start the film than by actually making [the British public] listen to the same song again."
* ''Film/MortalKombat'' has a brief scene where Johnny Cage fights off some bad guys in a cheap fighting movie.
* According the DVD commentary of ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'', they actually went out of their way to make their scenes shot in Southern California [[RealityIsUnrealistic look like they were shot from Southern California]] when they were [[TheMountainsOfIllinois supposed to be in England]], so Austin's joke about England looking nothing like Southern California would be funny.
** In the same scene, the characters pass a sign that just says "English Countryside".
* Early in ''Film/WhatEverHappenedToBabyJane'', studio executives watch scenes from Jane's films, and note that she's an awful actress. However, those were real scenes from the early movies of Creator/BetteDavis (who plays Jane).
* UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode's compulsory insistence on HappyEnding in movies often led to movies having abrupt, unrealistic endings that audiences felt were not convincing. A lot of this was deliberately done by film-makers and screenwriters. Creator/DouglasSirk, director of melodramas like ''Film/{{Imitation Of Life|1959}}'' and ''All That Heaven Allows'' noted in post-career interviews that he deliberately made his endings unconvincing so that audiences would focus on the subtext of his films and he stated that this was a common practice in American films of the time.
* The movie adaptation of ''Film/GhostWorld'' has a lot of this, most notably Roberta Allsworth's [[LeFilmArtistique incomprehensible art film]] ''Mirror Father Mirror'' and abysmal blues-rock band Blueshammer.
* The songs "African Child" and "I Am Jesus" from ''Film/GetHimToTheGreek'' are almost certainly Stylistic Suck; the rest range from AffectionateParody to simple {{Pastiche}}.
* In ''Film/MeetTheFeebles'' the corrupt producer will never - under any circumstances - allow a certain musical number that the camp gay director thinks of as his magnum opus. When it finally does get performed... well, let's just say the subject matter isn't appropriate for a family variety show.
--> '''Director, singing:''' Sodomy! You must think it really odd o' me / that I'm really into sodomy...
* The short film "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWQI8Ya0ZIs US vs. HK]]" by the [[http://zgmain.com/ ZeroGravity stunt team]] is the same fight scene twice. The overwrought American version falls wonderfully into this trope. (The Hong Kong one gets more over towards pure awesome.)
* The 2009 independent film ''Film/AfterLastSeason'' features [[SpecialEffectsFailure some of the most shockingly boring, awfully rendered CGI visuals you've ever seen in your life]]...but it's okay, because the CGI sequences are supposed to represent a machine that converts thoughts into images, and the thoughts are unclear at first, so it's ''supposed'' to look like crap!
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' has Gru being forced to read a bedtime story called "Sleepy Kittens" to put his adoptive daughters to sleep. It's as saccharine as kid's books get, complete with finger puppets for the three little kittens, with Gru getting increasingly annoyed at the story as he reads on. Also, [[{{Defictionalization}} its now available for purchase]] [[http://www.amazon.com/Sleepy-Kittens-Despicable-Cinco-Paul/dp/031608381X/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_b on Amazon.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3'' has a ShowWithinTheShow that the villain starred in as a child actor in the 80s. Not only is it clear that in-universe it was a low-budget live action show, it's even got less definition than the rest of the movie.
* ''Film/WaynesWorld'' used in-universe with the ShowWithinAShow, a cable-access program featuring two metalheads goofing around in their basement. When the show gets picked up by a major network and given a polished, professional veneer, the hosts rebel.
* Early in ''Film/SynecdocheNewYork'' we find Caden presenting an unconvincing version of Theatre/DeathOfASalesman using a very young cast. Result? Caden is awarded a Macarthur Fellowship "genius grant."
* An early scene in ''Film/ThePresidentsAnalyst'' (that's been absent since early tv broadcasts) has Creator/JamesCoburn's character watching an art movie that's disgusting the audience (one shot dwells on an overfilled garbage can), which is walking out in a steady stream. As he points out funny details to a similarly disgusted girl, they end up the only viewers left, having a great time - the movie's auteur then angrily tells them they were ''supposed'' to hate it.
* ''Film/SpiceWorld'': the scene where the screenwriter describes the frantic journey the Spice Girls are making through London as they're doing it. At one point, they're about to jump the rising platform of Tower Bridge in a double decker bus. The executive this is being described to comments that this would be pretty expensive. Cue the scene being rendered using a scale toy bus bumping over a rather shoddy replica of Tower Bridge. "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Not necessarily]]."
* In ''Film/MrBeansHoliday'', Carson Clay makes an absurdly ham fisted "personal statement" for Cannes Film Festival. [[spoiler: The film shown to the festival goers uses footage filmed by Bean paired with Clay's navel-gazing dialog. HilarityEnsues.]]
* ''Film/GentlemenBroncos'' - the main character Benjamin's SF novella ''Yeast Lords'' is spectacularly awful from a RealLife perspective; in-universe, it's treated as a work of staggering genius.
* In ''Film/WagTheDog'', the President's re-election ads are absolutely atrocious. In the end, [[spoiler:the film producer who helped put on the fake war is unable to remain silent if it means that the people who made the ads get to take credit for the President's re-election, and so he is KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade]].
* In ''Film/{{Adaptation}}'', Creator/CharlieKaufman's (fictional) twin brother Donald writes a script for a film called "The Three", which is a murder-mystery in which the murderer, detective and victim [[SplitPersonality are all the same person]]. Charlie proceeds to point out the {{Plot Hole}}s and FridgeLogic that would result from all of this, but everyone else loves it.
* At the start of ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'', BoyBand [[MeaningfulName DuJour]] are selling an absurdly bad song called "Backdoor Lover" which is basically a list of increasingly filthy {{Double Entendre}}s about anal sex disguised as a [[SillyLoveSongs Silly Love Song]] about a lover who uses the back door of his girlfriend's house.
--> You know that I won't hurt you so open up and let me in
--> We love each other way too much for it to be a sin
--> Some people use the front door but that's never been my way
--> Just 'cause I slip in backwards, well, that doesn't make me - [[LastSecondWordSwap hey]].
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': Captain America's brief career as a USO mascot is shown via a montage of his cheesy propaganda musical number, complete with high-kicking ChorusGirls, [[MythologyGag punching Hitler over a hundred times]], and a completely over-the-top EarWorm of a song "The Star-Spangled Man." [[SoBadItsGood And it is glorious]]!
* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'':The cheapo aesthetic of the "real-life" Galaxy Quest show. It's very fun to watch the special features, in which the filmmakers discuss the cutting-edge special effects technology used to film the movie, and then show how they made the in-universe television show look cheaply-made on purpose - complete with a red cyclorama and papier-mâché rocks. Director Dean Parisot explains that he put sand on the dolly tracks to make the camerawork look rough.
* The puppets in ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', particularly the opening puppet show. This was done to freak out the financers (the story goes that one of them yelled "My god, they fucked us!")... but then the camera pans back to show the crude puppet and backdrop are part of a rather more sophisticated puppet's performance. Some of the DVD extras reveal that the puppeteers were actually capable of even more complex and realistic puppetry than is seen in the movie, though at times it is deliberately done overly simply, partly because it was simply funnier, and partly because overly realistic puppets slam deep into the Uncanny Valley, which they wanted to avoid.
* In Creator/WernerHerzog's ''Film/HeartOfGlass'', almost all roles were played by untrained actors who were hypnotized for shooting. As a result, they move around like sleepwalkers and deliver their lines with essentially no acting at all.
* In ''Film/{{Detention}}'', what we see of the ''[[ShowWithinAShow Cinderhella]]'' movies plays out like every teen {{slasher|Movie}} and TorturePorn cliche come to life. The eponymous killer appears to be some sort of spurned high school girl (we're never given any details of the films' plot) who, in the second film, is torturing one of her classmates, forcing her to perform a ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''-style act of self-mutilation in order to avoid getting her head blown off by a device that a teenage girl ''really'' shouldn't have the resources or technical know-how to build. The bootleg work print for the third film likewise depicts a group of teens (who are conspicuously like the main characters of ''Detention'', who are watching the work print) engaging in such [[TheScourgeOfGod immoral behaviors]] as premarital sex and {{digital piracy|IsEvil}} before Cinderhella walks in and murders them all.
* The entirety of ''Film/CasaDeMiPadre'', as it fashions itself after telenovelas.
* In ''Film/TheDecoyBride'', [[Creator/DavidTennant James]] is the author of a novel called ''The Ornithologist's Wife''. It's set on the tiny Scottish island of Hegg, but James has never even set foot on Hegg, so the novel is riddled with inaccuracies. It's also full of PurpleProse and Katie describes it as soulless with an [[StrangledByTheRedString unsatisfactory]] Romance Arc. It's also ''very'' [[{{Doorstopper}} heavy]]. Every single inhabitant of Hegg has read it, because it's the only book ever written about the island, but they all mock it rather relentlessly.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'', the scenes in the Other World are done with slightly worse animation, some missing frames here or there, just to make it feel unsettling to the audience even before the [[CrapSaccharineWorld the big reveal]].
* Much of the humor of ''Film/BlackDynamite'' is in presenting the film as a shoddy blaxploitation film filled with 70s-era ValuesDissonance and low production value.
* The song "Please Mr. Kennedy," from ''Film/InsideLlewynDavis'' is a silly, stupid novelty song that is quite the opposite of the soulful folk music that Llewyn wants to create.
* ''Film/PoolboyDrowningOutTheFury'' is presented as if it were a unreleased 1990s action movie that was written, produced and directed by a 10 year old boy, then reedited with newly filmed footage starring the now-grown up director. Intentionally sucky elements include onscreen crew members, bad dubbing, poor writing and intentionally racist content.
* ''Moonquake Lake'' from ''Film/{{Annie|2014}}'' has a ridiculous premise, clichéd dialogue and overacting.
* In a real-life example, Creator/MelBrooks had a terrible time trying to get the crew of ''Film/YoungFrankenstein'' to understand that he wanted them to intentionally make the production mistakes that had been normal when the famous Boris Karloff ''[[Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}} Frankenstein]]'' was released in 1931. He had to repeatedly talk to the lighting crew about making sure there were lighting hot-spots in the background, and had all the camera cart rails removed as they made the camera work too smooth.
* ''Film/WhyDontYouPlayInHell'': The amateur filmmakers create a trailer for the film they want to make. It's obviously got NoBudget.
* ''Film/WhatsNewPussycat'' - Michael picks up exotic dancer Liz, who takes him home and reads him her poems - one, titled 'Ode to a Pacifist Junkie', she described as 'a plea for better housing.'
-->UNGH - Two-Three-Four!
-->''Who'' killed Music/CharlieParker?
-->''You'' did. You ''rat!''
* Done with ''Two Spies'', the FilmWithinAFilm of ''Film/TheKidAndI''
* In ''Film/TheTallGuy'', Creator/JeffGoldblum stars in a musical adaptation of ''Film/TheElephantMan'', which includes such song-and-dance numbers as [[IncrediblyLamePun "He's Packing His Trunk"]]. The few clips of the production the film audience is subjected to are every bit as bad as one would expect.
* In ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', during "Love is an Open Door" Hans' movements don't match Anna's and his singing is out of sync, [[{{Foreshadowing}} showing how mismatched they are]].
* ''Film/{{Soapdish}}'' has two: ''The Sun Also Sets'', the soap opera that makes up the film's setting, and a crappy dinner-theater production of ''Death of a Salesman'' that Jeffrey Anderson (Kevin Kline) is stuck in before he's hired back to the soap. [[spoiler: Later, the main villain ends up in the same production.]]
* ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'': The opening play by school children is as cheesy and [[LargeHam hammy]] as you'd expect from something written by an ambitious 9 year old.
* The protagonist of ''Film/ThrowMommaFromTheTrain'' is a creative writing instructor, leading to a lot of fun with this. The work he has to grade includes a ClicheStorm war story whose author didn't bother to learn the name of a certain piece of equipment and just calls it "the thing", a three-page murder mystery with only two characters, and the coffee table book ''100 Women I'd Like to Pork''.
* ''Film/{{Clue}}'' has Jane Wiedlin's cameo as the singing telegram girl, from the opening MinskyPickup and clumsy tapping to her CaptainObvious song. She gets [[KilledMidsentence shot before she can go any farther]].
* ''Film/DontThinkTwice'': The episode of ''Weekend Live'' (a ''SaturdayNightLive'' {{Expy}} that the Commune watches together is... mediocre at best, up to an including the weird 80's throwback band that is the episode's musical guest.
** The two sketches of Jack's that we never see are titled "Scooby-Doo Gets Put Down" and "Kim-Jong Un on the Bachelorette". He asserts (apparently correctly) that these sketches will not make it to the final show.
* ''Film/CloudAtlas'': The film that Sonmi~451 watches based on Cavendish's life is campy, over-acted (by an obviously made-up Tom Hanks) and bears only the loosest resemblance to the actual Cavendish we see in the film.
* In ''Film/DonnieDarko'', the title character's teacher uses a series of instructional videos by a self-help guru who advocates [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity a simplistic form of morality centered on Fear vs. Love]]. The film is set in TheEighties, and so they replicate the cheesy video editing and rock-bottom production values common to such low-budget fringe productions of the time. The videos can also be viewed in the DeletedScenes of the DVD with commentary by the host and their fictional director, [[GiftedlyBad who are convinced that they made a masterpiece]].
* Used to disquieting effect in ''Film/TheAnnunciation'', in which a cast made up entirely of prepubescent children attempt to tackle a production of ''Theatre/TheTragedyOfMan'', a very serious and not-at-all child-friendly play. The sight of children playing at scenes of simulated sexuality and violence in cheap, improvised costumes and sets that consist of old ruins in the Hungarian countryside actually makes the whole play much more disturbing than it might have been with a professional cast and crew.
* The theatrical cut of ''Film/DeathProof'' included a fake "missing reel," with the implication that the projectionist had taken it home for [[PoorMansPorn "personal use,"]] which was known to happen in the kind of 70s exploitation films that ''Death Proof'' was a pastiche of. The DVD version included fake VHS artifacting, as people who saw that kind of exploitation film outside of theaters likely watched on a rented VHS tape. Notably, the artifacting was more severe during the same lap dance scene that was missing from the theatrical version to create the impression that it had been watched a few more times than the rest of the movie.
* ''Film/SevenPsychopaths'' features a [[ShowWithinAShow Movie Within A Movie]] that the main character, Marty, is writing. Over the course of the film, we see multiple interpretations of his script by different people, each of which qualifies in its own way:
** Marty’s own version is passable, but is gritty to the point of DarknessInducedAudienceApathy and generally reeks of trying too hard to be edgy and subversive, using real life tragedies like the My Lai Massacre as shock value. He also can’t figure out how to work the Vietcong character into the main plot, turning him into a giant BigLippedAlligatorMoment. In fact, [[KudzuPlot he can’t seem to think of a main plot at all]].
** Billy’s pass at it is a brainless, SoBadItsGood action film that totally misses every point Marty was trying to make and includes stilted dialogue like “peace is for queers.” He’s also blatantly using it as wish fulfillment, such as having a scene dedicated to brutally killing off Marty’s girlfriend (whom he hates). Still, he at least manages to give the Vietcong guy plot relevance and a DyingMomentOfAwesome.
** Hans’s take is unexpectedly good and has a lot of emotion in it... but it’s also [[LeFilmArtistique a pretentious art film]] with a cliche AllJustADream twist ending. [[RunningGag He can’t figure out how to fit the Vietcong guy into the main plot either]]. He argues [[TropesAreTools they can still make it work]] (“we all gotta dream sometimes, right?”). [[spoiler:In the end, this is the one Marty decides to go with, though possibly only as a way of honoring Hans.]]
* In a DeletedScene from ''Film/KillBill'', Creator/MichaelJaiWhite plays a kung fu warrior seeking revenge for Bill killing his master. As befits the Kung Fu movies the movie is homaging, White deliberately over-acts the role, as if he was cast for his fighting skills instead of his acting ability.
* ''Stab'', the [[ShowWithinAShow film within the film]] of ''Film/Scream2'' based on the events of the first movie, is deliberately made to look like a cheap slasher flick as part of the franchise's self-aware parody of the horror genre.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'':
** The film has a RunningGag about an in-universe Christmas album Spider-Man made called ''A Very Spidey Christmas''; while the one song featured in the film, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRQ_gjeFMRA Spidey Bells]]", has Creator/ChrisPine's Spider-Man starting off strong, he ends up having a breakdown about halfway through when he starts regretting ever recording the album in the first place, becoming audibly on the verge of breaking into tears. The [[{{Defictionalization}} real-life version]] includes two more tracks that fit this trope; in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_BUTJIBGoA Deck The Halls]]", Creator/JakeJohnson's Spider-Man is ''horribly'' off-key and keeps interrupting the music to make awkward jokes that fall flat, and the reading of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLKF82uYkGY The Night Before Christmas]]" by [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 60s cartoon Spider-Man]] (Jorma Taccone) has random Spidey-themed verses inserted awkwardly within the original text and Spider-Man deciding halfway through the poem to skip right to the last two lines. The latter track even ends with 60s Spidey talking about how he got drunk at the previous night's Christmas party and then threw up in front of a bunch of kids without realizing that [[IsThisThingStillOn he's still being recorded]].
** In TheStinger, [[spoiler:everything on Earth-67 is rendered in the low-budget LimitedAnimation of the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' cartoon]].
* In ''Film/HomeAlone'', Angels with Filthy Souls and its sequel Angels with Even Filthier Souls are cheesy, cliched 1930s gangster movies.

The third is a pseudo-''Series/TwinPeaks''-esque DreamSequence that looks silly. One of the actors calls the director out on the fact that the film indulges meaninglessly in LittlePeopleAreSurreal.

So does Aldous Snow's song "We Gotta Do Something" and its music video, in which Creator/RussellBrand does things like [[YouBastard glower accusingly at the camera]] while holding up signs that say, "HOW CAN YOU READ/WHEN YOU ARE BLIND," then simulate sex with a passing nun.
* In ''Film/ADogsBreakfast'', the space opera ''Starcrossed'' is intentionally melodramatic, over-acted and revoltingly soppy.
* Done ''on purpose'' and out of (in-story) necessity in ''Film/BeKindRewind''.
* Pretty much anything the characters on ''Film/TropicThunder'' are shown being part of. A good deal of it is based on actual bad movies. The dialogue in the film they're currently making is filled with cliches. One of Ben Stiller's character's previous movie ''Simple Jack'' is repeatedly mocked in-story.
* The writing of the title character of ''Film/BartonFink'' isn't so much sucky as [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible completely nonsensical]]. The "wrestling movie" Barton watches fits the trope well, though.
--> '''Wrestler:''' ''[repeatedly]'' ''I WILL '''DESTROY''' YOU!''
* In the movie ''House'' (no connection to the similarly-named show), the main character's wife is an actress on a cheesy soap opera called ''Resort'', filled with melodramatic and nonsensical lines like "My sister was an only child, and you abused that!"
* One of the extras on the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JxsZEZPkYE "Mr. Incredible and Pals"]], an in-universe cartoon starring Mr. Incredible, Frozone... and a rabbit-thing named [[SmallAnnoyingCreature Mr. Skipperdoo]]. The animation is [[LimitedAnimation not animated]] (a la ''WesternAnimation/ClutchCargo''), [[RaceLift Frozone is portrayed as a tan-skinned beatnik]], and the plot was clearly written for an audience of morons. There's also a [[AlternateDVDCommentary commentary]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R44MvXeEQw track]], in which Mr. Incredible and Frozone -- watching the cartoon fifteen years later -- decide that it's a good thing the cartoon never aired.
* In the Ronstadt/Kline film production of Creator/GilbertAndSullivan's ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'', the climactic battle interrupts a stilted, badly-played and sung version of G.&S.'s ''Theatre/HMSPinafore''; their way of saying, "Yes, there are many, many things wrong with this production, most of them Music/LindaRonstadt, but see ''how much worse it could have been in an old-fashioned, fuddy-duddy sort of way''."
* Yet another climactic battle, in ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', interrupts what looks to be an intensely stupid Creator/BusbyBerkeley-style musical number.
--> ''"Throw out your hands, stick out your tush/hands on your hips, give 'em a push!/Don't be surprised, you're doing the French Mistake, VOILA!''
* ''Film/TheBandWagon'', a musical about the making of a musical, showcases the rehearsal of a overblown, pretentious dance number that contributes to the show's total failure on opening night.
* "It Must Be June" from ''Film/FortySecondStreet'' is an example of intentionally bad songwriting.
* ''Film/InAndOut'' features a double Stylistic Suck: the film opens with extracts from a "serious" drama about gay men in the army, parodying every gay movie trope known to mankind. These extracts are being shown at a parody of the Academy Awards broadcast, which includes such nominations as "Creator/StevenSeagal for [[spoiler:''Snowball in Hell''".]]
* ''Film/{{Bowfinger}}'' concerns the production of a really stupid AlienInvasion movie called ''Chubby Rain''. Its success leads to the making of ''Fake Purse Ninjas'', which appears to be just as ridiculous.
* The entirety of FourthWall obliterating ''Film/AmazonWomenOnTheMoon'' consists of unstated FramingDevice of someone in the audience randomly switching channels from one Stylistic Suck parody to another, while nominally watching the eponymous movie. There isn't a single second of the film that isn't this trope.
* ''Film/LoveActually'' gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_JRyhJiXQ8&feature=related Christmas Is All Around]]. This is an odd example because the original song [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is_All_Around_%28The_Troggs_song%29 wasn't original to the film]]; it was a Troggs song, famously covered by Wet Wet Wet. The obnoxiousness of the Christmas version is in the blatant commercialism; according to writer Richard Curtis, "I couldn't think of a funnier way to start the film than by actually making [the British public] listen to the same song again."
* ''Film/MortalKombat'' has a brief scene where Johnny Cage fights off some bad guys in a cheap fighting movie.
* According the DVD commentary of ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'', they actually went out of their way to make their scenes shot in Southern California [[RealityIsUnrealistic look like they were shot from Southern California]] when they were [[TheMountainsOfIllinois supposed to be in England]], so Austin's joke about England looking nothing like Southern California would be funny.
** In the same scene, the characters pass a sign that just says "English Countryside".
* Early in ''Film/WhatEverHappenedToBabyJane'', studio executives watch scenes from Jane's films, and note that she's an awful actress. However, those were real scenes from the early movies of Creator/BetteDavis (who plays Jane).
* UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode's compulsory insistence on HappyEnding in movies often led to movies having abrupt, unrealistic endings that audiences felt were not convincing. A lot of this was deliberately done by film-makers and screenwriters. Creator/DouglasSirk, director of melodramas like ''Film/{{Imitation Of Life|1959}}'' and ''All That Heaven Allows'' noted in post-career interviews that he deliberately made his endings unconvincing so that audiences would focus on the subtext of his films and he stated that this was a common practice in American films of the time.
* The movie adaptation of ''Film/GhostWorld'' has a lot of this, most notably Roberta Allsworth's [[LeFilmArtistique incomprehensible art film]] ''Mirror Father Mirror'' and abysmal blues-rock band Blueshammer.
* The songs "African Child" and "I Am Jesus" from ''Film/GetHimToTheGreek'' are almost certainly Stylistic Suck; the rest range from AffectionateParody to simple {{Pastiche}}.
* In ''Film/MeetTheFeebles'' the corrupt producer will never - under any circumstances - allow a certain musical number that the camp gay director thinks of as his magnum opus. When it finally does get performed... well, let's just say the subject matter isn't appropriate for a family variety show.
--> '''Director, singing:''' Sodomy! You must think it really odd o' me / that I'm really into sodomy...
* The short film "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWQI8Ya0ZIs US vs. HK]]" by the [[http://zgmain.com/ ZeroGravity stunt team]] is the same fight scene twice. The overwrought American version falls wonderfully into this trope. (The Hong Kong one gets more over towards pure awesome.)
* The 2009 independent film ''Film/AfterLastSeason'' features [[SpecialEffectsFailure some of the most shockingly boring, awfully rendered CGI visuals you've ever seen in your life]]...but it's okay, because the CGI sequences are supposed to represent a machine that converts thoughts into images, and the thoughts are unclear at first, so it's ''supposed'' to look like crap!
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' has Gru being forced to read a bedtime story called "Sleepy Kittens" to put his adoptive daughters to sleep. It's as saccharine as kid's books get, complete with finger puppets for the three little kittens, with Gru getting increasingly annoyed at the story as he reads on. Also, [[{{Defictionalization}} its now available for purchase]] [[http://www.amazon.com/Sleepy-Kittens-Despicable-Cinco-Paul/dp/031608381X/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_b on Amazon.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3'' has a ShowWithinTheShow that the villain starred in as a child actor in the 80s. Not only is it clear that in-universe it was a low-budget live action show, it's even got less definition than the rest of the movie.
* ''Film/WaynesWorld'' used in-universe with the ShowWithinAShow, a cable-access program featuring two metalheads goofing around in their basement. When the show gets picked up by a major network and given a polished, professional veneer, the hosts rebel.
* Early in ''Film/SynecdocheNewYork'' we find Caden presenting an unconvincing version of Theatre/DeathOfASalesman using a very young cast. Result? Caden is awarded a Macarthur Fellowship "genius grant."
* An early scene in ''Film/ThePresidentsAnalyst'' (that's been absent since early tv broadcasts) has Creator/JamesCoburn's character watching an art movie that's disgusting the audience (one shot dwells on an overfilled garbage can), which is walking out in a steady stream. As he points out funny details to a similarly disgusted girl, they end up the only viewers left, having a great time - the movie's auteur then angrily tells them they were ''supposed'' to hate it.
* ''Film/SpiceWorld'': the scene where the screenwriter describes the frantic journey the Spice Girls are making through London as they're doing it. At one point, they're about to jump the rising platform of Tower Bridge in a double decker bus. The executive this is being described to comments that this would be pretty expensive. Cue the scene being rendered using a scale toy bus bumping over a rather shoddy replica of Tower Bridge. "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Not necessarily]]."
* In ''Film/MrBeansHoliday'', Carson Clay makes an absurdly ham fisted "personal statement" for Cannes Film Festival. [[spoiler: The film shown to the festival goers uses footage filmed by Bean paired with Clay's navel-gazing dialog. HilarityEnsues.]]
* ''Film/GentlemenBroncos'' - the main character Benjamin's SF novella ''Yeast Lords'' is spectacularly awful from a RealLife perspective; in-universe, it's treated as a work of staggering genius.
* In ''Film/WagTheDog'', the President's re-election ads are absolutely atrocious. In the end, [[spoiler:the film producer who helped put on the fake war is unable to remain silent if it means that the people who made the ads get to take credit for the President's re-election, and so he is KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade]].
* In ''Film/{{Adaptation}}'', Creator/CharlieKaufman's (fictional) twin brother Donald writes a script for a film called "The Three", which is a murder-mystery in which the murderer, detective and victim [[SplitPersonality are all the same person]]. Charlie proceeds to point out the {{Plot Hole}}s and FridgeLogic that would result from all of this, but everyone else loves it.
* At the start of ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'', BoyBand [[MeaningfulName DuJour]] are selling an absurdly bad song called "Backdoor Lover" which is basically a list of increasingly filthy {{Double Entendre}}s about anal sex disguised as a [[SillyLoveSongs Silly Love Song]] about a lover who uses the back door of his girlfriend's house.
--> You know that I won't hurt you so open up and let me in
--> We love each other way too much for it to be a sin
--> Some people use the front door but that's never been my way
--> Just 'cause I slip in backwards, well, that doesn't make me - [[LastSecondWordSwap hey]].
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': Captain America's brief career as a USO mascot is shown via a montage of his cheesy propaganda musical number, complete with high-kicking ChorusGirls, [[MythologyGag punching Hitler over a hundred times]], and a completely over-the-top EarWorm of a song "The Star-Spangled Man." [[SoBadItsGood And it is glorious]]!
* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'':The cheapo aesthetic of the "real-life" Galaxy Quest show. It's very fun to watch the special features, in which the filmmakers discuss the cutting-edge special effects technology used to film the movie, and then show how they made the in-universe television show look cheaply-made on purpose - complete with a red cyclorama and papier-mâché rocks. Director Dean Parisot explains that he put sand on the dolly tracks to make the camerawork look rough.
* The puppets in ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', particularly the opening puppet show. This was done to freak out the financers (the story goes that one of them yelled "My god, they fucked us!")... but then the camera pans back to show the crude puppet and backdrop are part of a rather more sophisticated puppet's performance. Some of the DVD extras reveal that the puppeteers were actually capable of even more complex and realistic puppetry than is seen in the movie, though at times it is deliberately done overly simply, partly because it was simply funnier, and partly because overly realistic puppets slam deep into the Uncanny Valley, which they wanted to avoid.
* In Creator/WernerHerzog's ''Film/HeartOfGlass'', almost all roles were played by untrained actors who were hypnotized for shooting. As a result, they move around like sleepwalkers and deliver their lines with essentially no acting at all.
* In ''Film/{{Detention}}'', what we see of the ''[[ShowWithinAShow Cinderhella]]'' movies plays out like every teen {{slasher|Movie}} and TorturePorn cliche come to life. The eponymous killer appears to be some sort of spurned high school girl (we're never given any details of the films' plot) who, in the second film, is torturing one of her classmates, forcing her to perform a ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''-style act of self-mutilation in order to avoid getting her head blown off by a device that a teenage girl ''really'' shouldn't have the resources or technical know-how to build. The bootleg work print for the third film likewise depicts a group of teens (who are conspicuously like the main characters of ''Detention'', who are watching the work print) engaging in such [[TheScourgeOfGod immoral behaviors]] as premarital sex and {{digital piracy|IsEvil}} before Cinderhella walks in and murders them all.
* The entirety of ''Film/CasaDeMiPadre'', as it fashions itself after telenovelas.
* In ''Film/TheDecoyBride'', [[Creator/DavidTennant James]] is the author of a novel called ''The Ornithologist's Wife''. It's set on the tiny Scottish island of Hegg, but James has never even set foot on Hegg, so the novel is riddled with inaccuracies. It's also full of PurpleProse and Katie describes it as soulless with an [[StrangledByTheRedString unsatisfactory]] Romance Arc. It's also ''very'' [[{{Doorstopper}} heavy]]. Every single inhabitant of Hegg has read it, because it's the only book ever written about the island, but they all mock it rather relentlessly.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'', the scenes in the Other World are done with slightly worse animation, some missing frames here or there, just to make it feel unsettling to the audience even before the [[CrapSaccharineWorld the big reveal]].
* Much of the humor of ''Film/BlackDynamite'' is in presenting the film as a shoddy blaxploitation film filled with 70s-era ValuesDissonance and low production value.
* The song "Please Mr. Kennedy," from ''Film/InsideLlewynDavis'' is a silly, stupid novelty song that is quite the opposite of the soulful folk music that Llewyn wants to create.
* ''Film/PoolboyDrowningOutTheFury'' is presented as if it were a unreleased 1990s action movie that was written, produced and directed by a 10 year old boy, then reedited with newly filmed footage starring the now-grown up director. Intentionally sucky elements include onscreen crew members, bad dubbing, poor writing and intentionally racist content.
* ''Moonquake Lake'' from ''Film/{{Annie|2014}}'' has a ridiculous premise, clichéd dialogue and overacting.
* In a real-life example, Creator/MelBrooks had a terrible time trying to get the crew of ''Film/YoungFrankenstein'' to understand that he wanted them to intentionally make the production mistakes that had been normal when the famous Boris Karloff ''[[Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}} Frankenstein]]'' was released in 1931. He had to repeatedly talk to the lighting crew about making sure there were lighting hot-spots in the background, and had all the camera cart rails removed as they made the camera work too smooth.
* ''Film/WhyDontYouPlayInHell'': The amateur filmmakers create a trailer for the film they want to make. It's obviously got NoBudget.
* ''Film/WhatsNewPussycat'' - Michael picks up exotic dancer Liz, who takes him home and reads him her poems - one, titled 'Ode to a Pacifist Junkie', she described as 'a plea for better housing.'
-->UNGH - Two-Three-Four!
-->''Who'' killed Music/CharlieParker?
-->''You'' did. You ''rat!''
* Done with ''Two Spies'', the FilmWithinAFilm of ''Film/TheKidAndI''
* In ''Film/TheTallGuy'', Creator/JeffGoldblum stars in a musical adaptation of ''Film/TheElephantMan'', which includes such song-and-dance numbers as [[IncrediblyLamePun "He's Packing His Trunk"]]. The few clips of the production the film audience is subjected to are every bit as bad as one would expect.
* In ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', during "Love is an Open Door" Hans' movements don't match Anna's and his singing is out of sync, [[{{Foreshadowing}} showing how mismatched they are]].
* ''Film/{{Soapdish}}'' has two: ''The Sun Also Sets'', the soap opera that makes up the film's setting, and a crappy dinner-theater production of ''Death of a Salesman'' that Jeffrey Anderson (Kevin Kline) is stuck in before he's hired back to the soap. [[spoiler: Later, the main villain ends up in the same production.]]
* ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'': The opening play by school children is as cheesy and [[LargeHam hammy]] as you'd expect from something written by an ambitious 9 year old.
* The protagonist of ''Film/ThrowMommaFromTheTrain'' is a creative writing instructor, leading to a lot of fun with this. The work he has to grade includes a ClicheStorm war story whose author didn't bother to learn the name of a certain piece of equipment and just calls it "the thing", a three-page murder mystery with only two characters, and the coffee table book ''100 Women I'd Like to Pork''.
* ''Film/{{Clue}}'' has Jane Wiedlin's cameo as the singing telegram girl, from the opening MinskyPickup and clumsy tapping to her CaptainObvious song. She gets [[KilledMidsentence shot before she can go any farther]].
* ''Film/DontThinkTwice'': The episode of ''Weekend Live'' (a ''SaturdayNightLive'' {{Expy}} that the Commune watches together is... mediocre at best, up to an including the weird 80's throwback band that is the episode's musical guest.
** The two sketches of Jack's that we never see are titled "Scooby-Doo Gets Put Down" and "Kim-Jong Un on the Bachelorette". He asserts (apparently correctly) that these sketches will not make it to the final show.
* ''Film/CloudAtlas'': The film that Sonmi~451 watches based on Cavendish's life is campy, over-acted (by an obviously made-up Tom Hanks) and bears only the loosest resemblance to the actual Cavendish we see in the film.
* In ''Film/DonnieDarko'', the title character's teacher uses a series of instructional videos by a self-help guru who advocates [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity a simplistic form of morality centered on Fear vs. Love]]. The film is set in TheEighties, and so they replicate the cheesy video editing and rock-bottom production values common to such low-budget fringe productions of the time. The videos can also be viewed in the DeletedScenes of the DVD with commentary by the host and their fictional director, [[GiftedlyBad who are convinced that they made a masterpiece]].
* Used to disquieting effect in ''Film/TheAnnunciation'', in which a cast made up entirely of prepubescent children attempt to tackle a production of ''Theatre/TheTragedyOfMan'', a very serious and not-at-all child-friendly play. The sight of children playing at scenes of simulated sexuality and violence in cheap, improvised costumes and sets that consist of old ruins in the Hungarian countryside actually makes the whole play much more disturbing than it might have been with a professional cast and crew.
* The theatrical cut of ''Film/DeathProof'' included a fake "missing reel," with the implication that the projectionist had taken it home for [[PoorMansPorn "personal use,"]] which was known to happen in the kind of 70s exploitation films that ''Death Proof'' was a pastiche of. The DVD version included fake VHS artifacting, as people who saw that kind of exploitation film outside of theaters likely watched on a rented VHS tape. Notably, the artifacting was more severe during the same lap dance scene that was missing from the theatrical version to create the impression that it had been watched a few more times than the rest of the movie.
* ''Film/SevenPsychopaths'' features a [[ShowWithinAShow Movie Within A Movie]] that the main character, Marty, is writing. Over the course of the film, we see multiple interpretations of his script by different people, each of which qualifies in its own way:
** Marty’s own version is passable, but is gritty to the point of DarknessInducedAudienceApathy and generally reeks of trying too hard to be edgy and subversive, using real life tragedies like the My Lai Massacre as shock value. He also can’t figure out how to work the Vietcong character into the main plot, turning him into a giant BigLippedAlligatorMoment. In fact, [[KudzuPlot he can’t seem to think of a main plot at all]].
** Billy’s pass at it is a brainless, SoBadItsGood action film that totally misses every point Marty was trying to make and includes stilted dialogue like “peace is for queers.” He’s also blatantly using it as wish fulfillment, such as having a scene dedicated to brutally killing off Marty’s girlfriend (whom he hates). Still, he at least manages to give the Vietcong guy plot relevance and a DyingMomentOfAwesome.
** Hans’s take is unexpectedly good and has a lot of emotion in it... but it’s also [[LeFilmArtistique a pretentious art film]] with a cliche AllJustADream twist ending. [[RunningGag He can’t figure out how to fit the Vietcong guy into the main plot either]]. He argues [[TropesAreTools they can still make it work]] (“we all gotta dream sometimes, right?”). [[spoiler:In the end, this is the one Marty decides to go with, though possibly only as a way of honoring Hans.]]
* In a DeletedScene from ''Film/KillBill'', Creator/MichaelJaiWhite plays a kung fu warrior seeking revenge for Bill killing his master. As befits the Kung Fu movies the movie is homaging, White deliberately over-acts the role, as if he was cast for his fighting skills instead of his acting ability.
* ''Stab'', the [[ShowWithinAShow film within the film]] of ''Film/Scream2'' based on the events of the first movie, is deliberately made to look like a cheap slasher flick as part of the franchise's self-aware parody of the horror genre.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'':
** The film has a RunningGag about an in-universe Christmas album Spider-Man made called ''A Very Spidey Christmas''; while the one song featured in the film, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRQ_gjeFMRA Spidey Bells]]", has Creator/ChrisPine's Spider-Man starting off strong, he ends up having a breakdown about halfway through when he starts regretting ever recording the album in the first place, becoming audibly on the verge of breaking into tears. The [[{{Defictionalization}} real-life version]] includes two more tracks that fit this trope; in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_BUTJIBGoA Deck The Halls]]", Creator/JakeJohnson's Spider-Man is ''horribly'' off-key and keeps interrupting the music to make awkward jokes that fall flat, and the reading of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLKF82uYkGY The Night Before Christmas]]" by [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 60s cartoon Spider-Man]] (Jorma Taccone) has random Spidey-themed verses inserted awkwardly within the original text and Spider-Man deciding halfway through the poem to skip right to the last two lines. The latter track even ends with 60s Spidey talking about how he got drunk at the previous night's Christmas party and then threw up in front of a bunch of kids without realizing that [[IsThisThingStillOn he's still being recorded]].
** In TheStinger, [[spoiler:everything on Earth-67 is rendered in the low-budget LimitedAnimation of the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' cartoon]].
* In ''Film/HomeAlone'', Angels with Filthy Souls and its sequel Angels with Even Filthier Souls are cheesy, cliched 1930s gangster movies.

-->'''Wilson:''' [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6392701.stm We copy the look of a traditional awards show, but the show is deliberately low-end and tacky.]]
* ''Film/{{No}}'': The film is about an ad man running the TV campaign to vote UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet out of office in 1988. So instead of being shot on film, the movie was shot on old-timey video cameras which evoke the look of live television in the 1980s. It's also shot in the 4:3 AspectRatio that was standard for TV of that era.
* All of the films by Larry Blamire, including ''Film/TheLostSkeletonOfCadavra'', ''The Lost Skeleton Returns Again'', ''Film/DarkAndStormyNight'', ''Film/TrailOfTheScreamingForehead'', and his ''Tales from the Pub'' shorts are this way -- the actors were playing the part of B-movie actors in a film, not like the characters. Plus [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetitive dialogue]], horrible special effects, repeating the dialogue, and [[SelfDemonstratingArticle dialogue that is repetitive]].
* The samples we get of the 'acting' in the adult entertainment movies in ''Film/BoogieNights'' are of course hilariously bad.
* ''The Dueling Cavaliers'', the first "talkie" movie made by silent stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont in the classic musical ''Film/SinginInTheRain'', is ''awful'' thanks to an unfortunate conjunction of many many small (and not-so-small) problems, not the least of which are Don throwing out lines he doesn't like, and Lina having a voice like fingernails on a blackboard. This is largely inspired by the real silent film star John Gilbert, who was completely unable to adjust to sound films (Don replacing his romantic speech in favor of just saying "I love you" over and over is directly based on something Gilbert actually did).
* ''Film/AmericasSweethearts'' opens with segments from the title characters' previous movies together. They are scenes that are just so completely generic, they would have no appeal whatsoever in the real world.
* Ironically, ''Film/KingKong2005'' used dialog from the [[Film/KingKong1933 original film]] to fit this trope.
* ''Film/{{Saved}}'' - at one point, the protagonist and her mother watch a TV movie about ovarian/uterine cancer starring Valerie Bertinelli, and it's even worse than you'd expect. Leads to the hilarious scene with the character praying for cancer (instead of pregnancy).
* ''Film/LivingInOblivion'' has three movies-within-the-movie. The second movie looks like a terrible soap-opera, with actors stiffly delivering over-wrought lines in black tie outfits. The third is a pseudo-''Series/TwinPeaks''-esque DreamSequence that looks silly. One of the actors calls the director out on the fact that the film indulges meaninglessly in LittlePeopleAreSurreal.
* This is the point of ''Film/TheProducers'', which has the main characters ''trying'' to make pure suck and accidentally ending up with SoBadItsGood hilarity instead... which is bad because success is [[SpringtimeForHitler exactly how]] their attempt to pull off a scam will get them caught.
* All the clips of the ShowWithinAShow "Crime Scene" from ''Film/ForgettingSarahMarshall'' fall under this. So does Aldous Snow's song "We Gotta Do Something" and its music video, in which Creator/RussellBrand does things like [[YouBastard glower accusingly at the camera]] while holding up signs that say, "HOW CAN YOU READ/WHEN YOU ARE BLIND," then simulate sex with a passing nun.
* In ''Film/ADogsBreakfast'', the space opera ''Starcrossed'' is intentionally melodramatic, over-acted and revoltingly soppy.
* Done ''on purpose'' and out of (in-story) necessity in ''Film/BeKindRewind''.
* Pretty much anything the characters on ''Film/TropicThunder'' are shown being part of. A good deal of it is based on actual bad movies. The dialogue in the film they're currently making is filled with cliches. One of Ben Stiller's character's previous movie ''Simple Jack'' is repeatedly mocked in-story.
* The writing of the title character of ''Film/BartonFink'' isn't so much sucky as [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible completely nonsensical]]. The "wrestling movie" Barton watches fits the trope well, though.
--> '''Wrestler:''' ''[repeatedly]'' ''I WILL '''DESTROY''' YOU!''
* In the movie ''House'' (no connection to the similarly-named show), the main character's wife is an actress on a cheesy soap opera called ''Resort'', filled with melodramatic and nonsensical lines like "My sister was an only child, and you abused that!"
* One of the extras on the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JxsZEZPkYE "Mr. Incredible and Pals"]], an in-universe cartoon starring Mr. Incredible, Frozone... and a rabbit-thing named [[SmallAnnoyingCreature Mr. Skipperdoo]]. The animation is [[LimitedAnimation not animated]] (a la ''WesternAnimation/ClutchCargo''), [[RaceLift Frozone is portrayed as a tan-skinned beatnik]], and the plot was clearly written for an audience of morons. There's also a [[AlternateDVDCommentary commentary]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R44MvXeEQw track]], in which Mr. Incredible and Frozone -- watching the cartoon fifteen years later -- decide that it's a good thing the cartoon never aired.
* In the Ronstadt/Kline film production of Creator/GilbertAndSullivan's ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'', the climactic battle interrupts a stilted, badly-played and sung version of G.&S.'s ''Theatre/HMSPinafore''; their way of saying, "Yes, there are many, many things wrong with this production, most of them Music/LindaRonstadt, but see ''how much worse it could have been in an old-fashioned, fuddy-duddy sort of way''."
* Yet another climactic battle, in ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', interrupts what looks to be an intensely stupid Creator/BusbyBerkeley-style musical number.
--> ''"Throw out your hands, stick out your tush/hands on your hips, give 'em a push!/Don't be surprised, you're doing the French Mistake, VOILA!''
* ''Film/TheBandWagon'', a musical about the making of a musical, showcases the rehearsal of a overblown, pretentious dance number that contributes to the show's total failure on opening night.
* "It Must Be June" from ''Film/FortySecondStreet'' is an example of intentionally bad songwriting.
* ''Film/InAndOut'' features a double Stylistic Suck: the film opens with extracts from a "serious" drama about gay men in the army, parodying every gay movie trope known to mankind. These extracts are being shown at a parody of the Academy Awards broadcast, which includes such nominations as "Creator/StevenSeagal for [[spoiler:''Snowball in Hell''".]]
* ''Film/{{Bowfinger}}'' concerns the production of a really stupid AlienInvasion movie called ''Chubby Rain''. Its success leads to the making of ''Fake Purse Ninjas'', which appears to be just as ridiculous.
* The entirety of FourthWall obliterating ''Film/AmazonWomenOnTheMoon'' consists of unstated FramingDevice of someone in the audience randomly switching channels from one Stylistic Suck parody to another, while nominally watching the eponymous movie. There isn't a single second of the film that isn't this trope.
* ''Film/LoveActually'' gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_JRyhJiXQ8&feature=related Christmas Is All Around]]. This is an odd example because the original song [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is_All_Around_%28The_Troggs_song%29 wasn't original to the film]]; it was a Troggs song, famously covered by Wet Wet Wet. The obnoxiousness of the Christmas version is in the blatant commercialism; according to writer Richard Curtis, "I couldn't think of a funnier way to start the film than by actually making [the British public] listen to the same song again."
* ''Film/MortalKombat'' has a brief scene where Johnny Cage fights off some bad guys in a cheap fighting movie.
* According the DVD commentary of ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'', they actually went out of their way to make their scenes shot in Southern California [[RealityIsUnrealistic look like they were shot from Southern California]] when they were [[TheMountainsOfIllinois supposed to be in England]], so Austin's joke about England looking nothing like Southern California would be funny.
** In the same scene, the characters pass a sign that just says "English Countryside".
* Early in ''Film/WhatEverHappenedToBabyJane'', studio executives watch scenes from Jane's films, and note that she's an awful actress. However, those were real scenes from the early movies of Creator/BetteDavis (who plays Jane).
* UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode's compulsory insistence on HappyEnding in movies often led to movies having abrupt, unrealistic endings that audiences felt were not convincing. A lot of this was deliberately done by film-makers and screenwriters. Creator/DouglasSirk, director of melodramas like ''Film/{{Imitation Of Life|1959}}'' and ''All That Heaven Allows'' noted in post-career interviews that he deliberately made his endings unconvincing so that audiences would focus on the subtext of his films and he stated that this was a common practice in American films of the time.
* The movie adaptation of ''Film/GhostWorld'' has a lot of this, most notably Roberta Allsworth's [[LeFilmArtistique incomprehensible art film]] ''Mirror Father Mirror'' and abysmal blues-rock band Blueshammer.
* The songs "African Child" and "I Am Jesus" from ''Film/GetHimToTheGreek'' are almost certainly Stylistic Suck; the rest range from AffectionateParody to simple {{Pastiche}}.
* In ''Film/MeetTheFeebles'' the corrupt producer will never - under any circumstances - allow a certain musical number that the camp gay director thinks of as his magnum opus. When it finally does get performed... well, let's just say the subject matter isn't appropriate for a family variety show.
--> '''Director, singing:''' Sodomy! You must think it really odd o' me / that I'm really into sodomy...
* The short film "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWQI8Ya0ZIs US vs. HK]]" by the [[http://zgmain.com/ ZeroGravity stunt team]] is the same fight scene twice. The overwrought American version falls wonderfully into this trope. (The Hong Kong one gets more over towards pure awesome.)
* The 2009 independent film ''Film/AfterLastSeason'' features [[SpecialEffectsFailure some of the most shockingly boring, awfully rendered CGI visuals you've ever seen in your life]]...but it's okay, because the CGI sequences are supposed to represent a machine that converts thoughts into images, and the thoughts are unclear at first, so it's ''supposed'' to look like crap!
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' has Gru being forced to read a bedtime story called "Sleepy Kittens" to put his adoptive daughters to sleep. It's as saccharine as kid's books get, complete with finger puppets for the three little kittens, with Gru getting increasingly annoyed at the story as he reads on. Also, [[{{Defictionalization}} its now available for purchase]] [[http://www.amazon.com/Sleepy-Kittens-Despicable-Cinco-Paul/dp/031608381X/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_b on Amazon.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3'' has a ShowWithinTheShow that the villain starred in as a child actor in the 80s. Not only is it clear that in-universe it was a low-budget live action show, it's even got less definition than the rest of the movie.
* ''Film/WaynesWorld'' used in-universe with the ShowWithinAShow, a cable-access program featuring two metalheads goofing around in their basement. When the show gets picked up by a major network and given a polished, professional veneer, the hosts rebel.
* Early in ''Film/SynecdocheNewYork'' we find Caden presenting an unconvincing version of Theatre/DeathOfASalesman using a very young cast. Result? Caden is awarded a Macarthur Fellowship "genius grant."
* An early scene in ''Film/ThePresidentsAnalyst'' (that's been absent since early tv broadcasts) has Creator/JamesCoburn's character watching an art movie that's disgusting the audience (one shot dwells on an overfilled garbage can), which is walking out in a steady stream. As he points out funny details to a similarly disgusted girl, they end up the only viewers left, having a great time - the movie's auteur then angrily tells them they were ''supposed'' to hate it.
* ''Film/SpiceWorld'': the scene where the screenwriter describes the frantic journey the Spice Girls are making through London as they're doing it. At one point, they're about to jump the rising platform of Tower Bridge in a double decker bus. The executive this is being described to comments that this would be pretty expensive. Cue the scene being rendered using a scale toy bus bumping over a rather shoddy replica of Tower Bridge. "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Not necessarily]]."
* In ''Film/MrBeansHoliday'', Carson Clay makes an absurdly ham fisted "personal statement" for Cannes Film Festival. [[spoiler: The film shown to the festival goers uses footage filmed by Bean paired with Clay's navel-gazing dialog. HilarityEnsues.]]
* ''Film/GentlemenBroncos'' - the main character Benjamin's SF novella ''Yeast Lords'' is spectacularly awful from a RealLife perspective; in-universe, it's treated as a work of staggering genius.
* In ''Film/WagTheDog'', the President's re-election ads are absolutely atrocious. In the end, [[spoiler:the film producer who helped put on the fake war is unable to remain silent if it means that the people who made the ads get to take credit for the President's re-election, and so he is KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade]].
* In ''Film/{{Adaptation}}'', Creator/CharlieKaufman's (fictional) twin brother Donald writes a script for a film called "The Three", which is a murder-mystery in which the murderer, detective and victim [[SplitPersonality are all the same person]]. Charlie proceeds to point out the {{Plot Hole}}s and FridgeLogic that would result from all of this, but everyone else loves it.
* At the start of ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'', BoyBand [[MeaningfulName DuJour]] are selling an absurdly bad song called "Backdoor Lover" which is basically a list of increasingly filthy {{Double Entendre}}s about anal sex disguised as a [[SillyLoveSongs Silly Love Song]] about a lover who uses the back door of his girlfriend's house.
--> You know that I won't hurt you so open up and let me in
--> We love each other way too much for it to be a sin
--> Some people use the front door but that's never been my way
--> Just 'cause I slip in backwards, well, that doesn't make me - [[LastSecondWordSwap hey]].
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': Captain America's brief career as a USO mascot is shown via a montage of his cheesy propaganda musical number, complete with high-kicking ChorusGirls, [[MythologyGag punching Hitler over a hundred times]], and a completely over-the-top EarWorm of a song "The Star-Spangled Man." [[SoBadItsGood And it is glorious]]!
* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'':The cheapo aesthetic of the "real-life" Galaxy Quest show. It's very fun to watch the special features, in which the filmmakers discuss the cutting-edge special effects technology used to film the movie, and then show how they made the in-universe television show look cheaply-made on purpose - complete with a red cyclorama and papier-mâché rocks. Director Dean Parisot explains that he put sand on the dolly tracks to make the camerawork look rough.
* The puppets in ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', particularly the opening puppet show. This was done to freak out the financers (the story goes that one of them yelled "My god, they fucked us!")... but then the camera pans back to show the crude puppet and backdrop are part of a rather more sophisticated puppet's performance. Some of the DVD extras reveal that the puppeteers were actually capable of even more complex and realistic puppetry than is seen in the movie, though at times it is deliberately done overly simply, partly because it was simply funnier, and partly because overly realistic puppets slam deep into the Uncanny Valley, which they wanted to avoid.
* In Creator/WernerHerzog's ''Film/HeartOfGlass'', almost all roles were played by untrained actors who were hypnotized for shooting. As a result, they move around like sleepwalkers and deliver their lines with essentially no acting at all.
* In ''Film/{{Detention}}'', what we see of the ''[[ShowWithinAShow Cinderhella]]'' movies plays out like every teen {{slasher|Movie}} and TorturePorn cliche come to life. The eponymous killer appears to be some sort of spurned high school girl (we're never given any details of the films' plot) who, in the second film, is torturing one of her classmates, forcing her to perform a ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''-style act of self-mutilation in order to avoid getting her head blown off by a device that a teenage girl ''really'' shouldn't have the resources or technical know-how to build. The bootleg work print for the third film likewise depicts a group of teens (who are conspicuously like the main characters of ''Detention'', who are watching the work print) engaging in such [[TheScourgeOfGod immoral behaviors]] as premarital sex and {{digital piracy|IsEvil}} before Cinderhella walks in and murders them all.
* The entirety of ''Film/CasaDeMiPadre'', as it fashions itself after telenovelas.
* In ''Film/TheDecoyBride'', [[Creator/DavidTennant James]] is the author of a novel called ''The Ornithologist's Wife''. It's set on the tiny Scottish island of Hegg, but James has never even set foot on Hegg, so the novel is riddled with inaccuracies. It's also full of PurpleProse and Katie describes it as soulless with an [[StrangledByTheRedString unsatisfactory]] Romance Arc. It's also ''very'' [[{{Doorstopper}} heavy]]. Every single inhabitant of Hegg has read it, because it's the only book ever written about the island, but they all mock it rather relentlessly.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'', the scenes in the Other World are done with slightly worse animation, some missing frames here or there, just to make it feel unsettling to the audience even before the [[CrapSaccharineWorld the big reveal]].
* Much of the humor of ''Film/BlackDynamite'' is in presenting the film as a shoddy blaxploitation film filled with 70s-era ValuesDissonance and low production value.
* The song "Please Mr. Kennedy," from ''Film/InsideLlewynDavis'' is a silly, stupid novelty song that is quite the opposite of the soulful folk music that Llewyn wants to create.
* ''Film/PoolboyDrowningOutTheFury'' is presented as if it were a unreleased 1990s action movie that was written, produced and directed by a 10 year old boy, then reedited with newly filmed footage starring the now-grown up director. Intentionally sucky elements include onscreen crew members, bad dubbing, poor writing and intentionally racist content.
* ''Moonquake Lake'' from ''Film/{{Annie|2014}}'' has a ridiculous premise, clichéd dialogue and overacting.
* In a real-life example, Creator/MelBrooks had a terrible time trying to get the crew of ''Film/YoungFrankenstein'' to understand that he wanted them to intentionally make the production mistakes that had been normal when the famous Boris Karloff ''[[Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}} Frankenstein]]'' was released in 1931. He had to repeatedly talk to the lighting crew about making sure there were lighting hot-spots in the background, and had all the camera cart rails removed as they made the camera work too smooth.
* ''Film/WhyDontYouPlayInHell'': The amateur filmmakers create a trailer for the film they want to make. It's obviously got NoBudget.
* ''Film/WhatsNewPussycat'' - Michael picks up exotic dancer Liz, who takes him home and reads him her poems - one, titled 'Ode to a Pacifist Junkie', she described as 'a plea for better housing.'
-->UNGH - Two-Three-Four!
-->''Who'' killed Music/CharlieParker?
-->''You'' did. You ''rat!''
* Done with ''Two Spies'', the FilmWithinAFilm of ''Film/TheKidAndI''
* In ''Film/TheTallGuy'', Creator/JeffGoldblum stars in a musical adaptation of ''Film/TheElephantMan'', which includes such song-and-dance numbers as [[IncrediblyLamePun "He's Packing His Trunk"]]. The few clips of the production the film audience is subjected to are every bit as bad as one would expect.
* In ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', during "Love is an Open Door" Hans' movements don't match Anna's and his singing is out of sync, [[{{Foreshadowing}} showing how mismatched they are]].
* ''Film/{{Soapdish}}'' has two: ''The Sun Also Sets'', the soap opera that makes up the film's setting, and a crappy dinner-theater production of ''Death of a Salesman'' that Jeffrey Anderson (Kevin Kline) is stuck in before he's hired back to the soap. [[spoiler: Later, the main villain ends up in the same production.]]
* ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'': The opening play by school children is as cheesy and [[LargeHam hammy]] as you'd expect from something written by an ambitious 9 year old.
* The protagonist of ''Film/ThrowMommaFromTheTrain'' is a creative writing instructor, leading to a lot of fun with this. The work he has to grade includes a ClicheStorm war story whose author didn't bother to learn the name of a certain piece of equipment and just calls it "the thing", a three-page murder mystery with only two characters, and the coffee table book ''100 Women I'd Like to Pork''.
* ''Film/{{Clue}}'' has Jane Wiedlin's cameo as the singing telegram girl, from the opening MinskyPickup and clumsy tapping to her CaptainObvious song. She gets [[KilledMidsentence shot before she can go any farther]].
* ''Film/DontThinkTwice'': The episode of ''Weekend Live'' (a ''SaturdayNightLive'' {{Expy}} that the Commune watches together is... mediocre at best, up to an including the weird 80's throwback band that is the episode's musical guest.
** The two sketches of Jack's that we never see are titled "Scooby-Doo Gets Put Down" and "Kim-Jong Un on the Bachelorette". He asserts (apparently correctly) that these sketches will not make it to the final show.
* ''Film/CloudAtlas'': The film that Sonmi~451 watches based on Cavendish's life is campy, over-acted (by an obviously made-up Tom Hanks) and bears only the loosest resemblance to the actual Cavendish we see in the film.
* In ''Film/DonnieDarko'', the title character's teacher uses a series of instructional videos by a self-help guru who advocates [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity a simplistic form of morality centered on Fear vs. Love]]. The film is set in TheEighties, and so they replicate the cheesy video editing and rock-bottom production values common to such low-budget fringe productions of the time. The videos can also be viewed in the DeletedScenes of the DVD with commentary by the host and their fictional director, [[GiftedlyBad who are convinced that they made a masterpiece]].
* Used to disquieting effect in ''Film/TheAnnunciation'', in which a cast made up entirely of prepubescent children attempt to tackle a production of ''Theatre/TheTragedyOfMan'', a very serious and not-at-all child-friendly play. The sight of children playing at scenes of simulated sexuality and violence in cheap, improvised costumes and sets that consist of old ruins in the Hungarian countryside actually makes the whole play much more disturbing than it might have been with a professional cast and crew.
* The theatrical cut of ''Film/DeathProof'' included a fake "missing reel," with the implication that the projectionist had taken it home for [[PoorMansPorn "personal use,"]] which was known to happen in the kind of 70s exploitation films that ''Death Proof'' was a pastiche of. The DVD version included fake VHS artifacting, as people who saw that kind of exploitation film outside of theaters likely watched on a rented VHS tape. Notably, the artifacting was more severe during the same lap dance scene that was missing from the theatrical version to create the impression that it had been watched a few more times than the rest of the movie.
* ''Film/SevenPsychopaths'' features a [[ShowWithinAShow Movie Within A Movie]] that the main character, Marty, is writing. Over the course of the film, we see multiple interpretations of his script by different people, each of which qualifies in its own way:
** Marty’s own version is passable, but is gritty to the point of DarknessInducedAudienceApathy and generally reeks of trying too hard to be edgy and subversive, using real life tragedies like the My Lai Massacre as shock value. He also can’t figure out how to work the Vietcong character into the main plot, turning him into a giant BigLippedAlligatorMoment. In fact, [[KudzuPlot he can’t seem to think of a main plot at all]].
** Billy’s pass at it is a brainless, SoBadItsGood action film that totally misses every point Marty was trying to make and includes stilted dialogue like “peace is for queers.” He’s also blatantly using it as wish fulfillment, such as having a scene dedicated to brutally killing off Marty’s girlfriend (whom he hates). Still, he at least manages to give the Vietcong guy plot relevance and a DyingMomentOfAwesome.
** Hans’s take is unexpectedly good and has a lot of emotion in it... but it’s also [[LeFilmArtistique a pretentious art film]] with a cliche AllJustADream twist ending. [[RunningGag He can’t figure out how to fit the Vietcong guy into the main plot either]]. He argues [[TropesAreTools they can still make it work]] (“we all gotta dream sometimes, right?”). [[spoiler:In the end, this is the one Marty decides to go with, though possibly only as a way of honoring Hans.]]
* In a DeletedScene from ''Film/KillBill'', Creator/MichaelJaiWhite plays a kung fu warrior seeking revenge for Bill killing his master. As befits the Kung Fu movies the movie is homaging, White deliberately over-acts the role, as if he was cast for his fighting skills instead of his acting ability.
* ''Stab'', the [[ShowWithinAShow film within the film]] of ''Film/Scream2'' based on the events of the first movie, is deliberately made to look like a cheap slasher flick as part of the franchise's self-aware parody of the horror genre.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'':
** The film has a RunningGag about an in-universe Christmas album Spider-Man made called ''A Very Spidey Christmas''; while the one song featured in the film, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRQ_gjeFMRA Spidey Bells]]", has Creator/ChrisPine's Spider-Man starting off strong, he ends up having a breakdown about halfway through when he starts regretting ever recording the album in the first place, becoming audibly on the verge of breaking into tears. The [[{{Defictionalization}} real-life version]] includes two more tracks that fit this trope; in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_BUTJIBGoA Deck The Halls]]", Creator/JakeJohnson's Spider-Man is ''horribly'' off-key and keeps interrupting the music to make awkward jokes that fall flat, and the reading of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLKF82uYkGY The Night Before Christmas]]" by [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 60s cartoon Spider-Man]] (Jorma Taccone) has random Spidey-themed verses inserted awkwardly within the original text and Spider-Man deciding halfway through the poem to skip right to the last two lines. The latter track even ends with 60s Spidey talking about how he got drunk at the previous night's Christmas party and then threw up in front of a bunch of kids without realizing that [[IsThisThingStillOn he's still being recorded]].
** In TheStinger, [[spoiler:everything on Earth-67 is rendered in the low-budget LimitedAnimation of the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' cartoon]].
* In ''Film/HomeAlone'', Angels with Filthy Souls and its sequel Angels with Even Filthier Souls are cheesy, cliched 1930s gangster movies.
