Hi
Maybe a screencap from Plan 9 showing the dorky acting or "special effects"?

That sounds like a plan.
I don't know... So Bad, It's Good is about the reaction to the poor quality, and Special Effects Failure at least has its own trope. I'm not sure if it can even be ilustrated without being a Discussed Trope.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
How about a screenshot from The Room?
No, the other one.
What's that look like?
This one is a reception trope. Going to be hard to illustrate.

I agree.
A screenshot from a bad movie would tell us nothing about audience liking it, and the line between So Bad, It's Good and So Bad Its Horrible is way too thin. Basically any image that is not actually discussing the trope would probably fall under JAFAAC.
The Unknown
I think we should have it be no image unless a good one is found.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
Given the above points, I'm gonna go with BUPKIS.

Plan 9 is a famous example, but a poster doesn't tell us much besides that it looks like a typical B movie. How about a screenshot from Birdemic [1]

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.
^ Again, that's covered by Special Effects Failure. It doesn't tell us anything about what the audience thinks.

Huh? I am not seeing any Special Effects Failure there.

Looking at it again, it's indeed not as noticeable in a still image, but in the film they're lifeless GIF images superimposed on the actors.

Hi
Clock is set. If we can't agree on a pic, then one of the pages will lose its pic to solve the duplication issue.
Does that mean So Bad, It's Good.Film? That's the page where the image lacks the most illustrative strength, after all.

Yeah, the movie's iconic but not the best of trope images.
How sweet it is
Yeah, pull from the So Bad, It's Good subpage. It's a poor illustration there.

Hi
The clock's up. The pic's pulled from the subpage and it's tagged for this thread; locking up.
SoBadItsGood.Film currently has the same page image as Plan 9 from Outer Space. That aside, the only way it actually illustrates the trope is the caption assuring us that it does. It just looks like any other 1950s B-Movie, which need not necessarily be So Bad, It's Good.
