That's a HORRIBLE adaptation!

The object of the game is to fart your opponent to death. It's done entirely by mashing the A-button, and through quick-time events that involve more mashing the A-button. Also, Terrence and Phillip refused to voice the project, so they hired some other schucks to do it for ten dollars off the street.

Lost, the dating sim.

It's darker than the average dating sim and is only liked by the shipping community for it's vast pairings,the non-shipping fans are disgusted at the Rule 34 produced and some of them abandon ship and scream at other forums about this disease.

Pattycakes (with some episodes based on Cupcakes,Sweet Apple Massacre and Cheerlie's garden) The anime.

edited 7th Dec '12 8:40:53 AM by XiphosOrochi666

In an attempt to make the best of the subject matter, it's adapted for anime by the Higurashi writers, with the various fics treated as alternate "routes" that may or may not really be happening. Just to ensure that there's Mind Screw, there's a live-action episode with human versions of the ponies. The resulting show is shown in a post-midnight slot; it bombs in the ratings, but becomes a fertile subject for Abnormal Psychology term papers.

The Hans Christian Andersen stories, done as a Space Western by Gene Roddenberry.

While the attempt to connect a bunch of disparate fairy tales together and give them a Space Western twist is admirable, the result is nonetheless a mixed bag. Some of it was actually quite well done, while others just didn't gel quite right.

The Six Million Dollar Man: The Dime Novel.

Jaime Sommers stays dead and doesn't become The Bionic Woman, leading Steve Austin on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against those responsible for her fatal skydive. Modern readers imagine him as the wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin based on the name alone, and the fact that he now beats up people on a frequent basis.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers as a Wuxia film.

Pretty much the same basic premise, except they solve all their problem with Kung-Fu and bad lip-syncing.

Hairspray by Naoko Tenichi (or whatever her name is; the one who made Sailor Moon) and Quentin Tarantino.

It's much more violent, everyone wears tiny miniskirts, and I actually enjoy it because everyone dies at the end.

My Little Pony, the Dating Sim

You play as Spike, and all routes lead to either a polite rejection, or a hoof to the fire-starter. Once you're done with all the routes, you have the option to play as one of the Mane Six, and that's were things REALLY get interesting...

The Book Of Revelations, by the way of William Goulding.

It would have been decent if it weren't for the fact that it kept on hammering in the fact that those who weren't killed for their sins had a LOT of willpower.

Mr. Men anime

Essentially the same, except all the female character have bigger boobs.

Songs from The Idolmaster performed by the Beastie Boys.

Not bad covers, but the tone, the instrumentation and the vocals can tend to be rather jarring when compared to the source material. Pretty decent Beastie Boys music if taken on its own, but still something of an acquired taste.

Recette Lemongrass and Marcus Kincaid's Animated Christmas Short

Recette: Welcome to Recemarcus! Nothing but the best weapons in Pens—uh, I mean, on Pandora!
Marcus: NO REFUNDS!
Brick: (looks at empty pockets) Good grief...

A WWE Films remake of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

edited 10th Dec '12 7:45:46 PM by WillyFourEyes

It manages to be worse than the original, so much so that it makes the original look like Oscar Bait in comparison!

Inuyasha as a film by Michael Bay.

I guess to add up on the Superman IV remake... Hulk Hogan as Superman and Ultimate Warrior as Nuclear Man? Yeah, I can see why it wouldn't go well...

For : Kagame has bigger breasts than the source material, and what the adaptation deals with are aliens rather than demons. At least they got the teenage part right... but once again, it goes without mentioning the special effects...

John Kricfalusi's Calvin and Hobbes

Though Off-Model and Nightmare Fuel with a few artistic libertys,it is still mostly faithful.

Alfred's Playhouse The Porno.

Alfred is actually a man in a dog suit, His sexual abuse issues are cured by having really good sex (the abuse is not shown on camera, the good sex is.)

Jonah Hex, the Akira Kurosawa samurai film.

Neither American nor Japanese audiences get it. Americans hate it because there aren't enough actual cowboys (but some think the lack of Josh Brolin and Megan Fox works in the film's favor), and the Japanese hate it because there are too many samurai.

Mario, Luigi, Bowser and Princess Peach in Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.

It plays out exactly the same, but with 80% more jokes about Italians, none of them funny.

Madeas Family Reunion directed by Haruhi Suzumiya and Stephen King.

Madea now has reality warping powers and uses them with her family. Unfortunatly, she ends up killing them. It suffers from severe Mood Whiplash.

House, Starr-ing Ringo Star instead of Hugh Laurie.

The show isn't that different apart from the Beatles references.

Spongebob Squarepants:The porno.

Everybody is amused by Squidward's "tentacles", for reasons unknown to him (but understood all too well by Sandy...poor, poor Sandy.)

The Three Stooges, starring Moe Syszlak, Leisure Suit Larry, and Curly Brace.

It manages to be even wackier than the original. As a result, it gains a fairly sizeable fanbase.

The Lord of the Rings as a series of plays by William Shakespeare.

edited 18th Dec '12 10:51:06 AM by tennessean

They turn out to be every bit as good as The Lord Of The Rings we all know and love. However, as Shakespere plays, they no longer appeal to nerds and are mostly read as required study materials by high school kids and enjoyed as plays by upper-class academics. therefore, the big-budget movie adaptation by Peter Jackson never got made.

Dragons Den, the Western RPG by Bethseda

Essentially like an Elder Scrolls game, only the twist is that you get parts to a possible invention, and the way you level is different. You don't get EXP for killing things, but for gathering the parts to an invention, assembling an invention, and getting a successful deal out of it. Said inventions often involve some sort of plot advancement, and the lore is still different from any Elder Scrolls game. In a usual Bethesda fashion, they do have a big game world, but nonetheless there are some bugs involved with the inventions.

Game Grumps, The Big Damn Movie

edited 18th Dec '12 3:36:56 PM by EarlOfSandvich

Jon and ER try to play through the first Metal Gear Solid, long cutscenes and all. Very few people in the audience know why Snake suddenly becomes a horndog the moment he meets Meryl, but they laugh it up all the same.

The Amazing Race, using vehicles from Twisted Metal and live ammunition.
