->''"Hatewatching has long been lucrative, if not incredibly underestimated. In the dawn of the Internet, hatewatching is what made Music/RebeccaBlack's "Music/{{Friday}}" go viral. (Had influencer commercialism been solidified in those dark ages, Black would have made lifetime residuals off "Friday" on Spotify and [=TikTok=].) Hatewatching is what propelled the Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey film franchise to gross over $1.3 billion at the box office despite abysmal reviews and mild sex scenes. Hatewatching is what dictates the inspiration for much Creator/{{Netflix}} Originals content (like the wildly successful, and wildly panned, Film/TheKissingBooth) as well as network television (like Creator/{{NBC}}'s wildly successful, and wildly panned, Peter Pan Live!)."''

->''"So, what is it we love so much about hatewatching? Have we hardened into cynics, but cynics with bad taste? Are we all cyberbullies getting our rocks off? No. Hatewatching is a tether that keeps us together. Where binge-watching, hatewatching is communal. Where "good taste" permits only in-depth analysis from authorized voices (i.e. critics), hatewatching encourages accessibility and democracy with deep-dive discussion. To hatewatch is to be a part of something; to hatewatch is to inaugurate oneself into a close-knit tribe."''

'''Thor:''' I don’t believe there ''is'' a point, Banner. Just an... ''experience.''

->''...if I had to watch one of these [versions of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout Doogal]]''] again, it would be the American one.

'''Reeve:''' That's right.\\

->I'm disgusted and repulsed and I can't... look... away.

->And yet I cannot not watch it. May God have mercy on us all.

->People are coming to see them, not because their act is good, but because their act is absolutely horrible.

->I'm actually enjoying this and it deeply disturbs me.

->Holy crap... That sounds just disgusting enough to loop back around on itself and become '''awesome''' again!

->You want to see something that's like really seriously disturbing and that nobody in their right mind would want to look at? You're on the internet so I guess the answer is probably yes.

->"''Hand Shakers'' is terrible. It's mystifying, maddening, and bizarre. It's bad in almost every way that a show ''can'' be bad. But of course, I'm sure that's why so many people voted for it to be covered in the first place."

->I believe in the value of failed art; art that is driven [[CreatorsApathy by carelessness]], [[SmallNameBigEgo unchecked and untalented ego,]] [[MoneyDearBoy by spectacularly low-stakes greed]]. It has a tendency to be novel, to be unpredictable in a way that deliberate art never can. This is why it's so much ''fun'' to watch bad movies. No one would ever make this game on purpose [...] It is not simply a lack of time or money that produces something like ''[[TheProblemWithLicensedGames An American Tail: The Video Game]]'', but the profound lack of caring. The end product of that broken process isn't worth playing for its own merits, but it is worth playing because it's worth remembering.[[invoked]]

->I was slightly surprised to find ''VideoGame/{{Daikatana}}'' available on Steam, but even more so by the feature list. [[BlatantLies "25 glorious weapons to collect and utilize". "Two highly-trained sidekicks to watch your back".]] I'd have said it was being sarcastic if I thought publishers had any self-awareness at all. But realistically, everyone knows that its infamous reputation is the only reason this game is on Steam, and the blurb should have read, [[ComeToGawk "Roll up, roll up, everyone come and see the freak."]]

->I'd say that I'm happy that something born from such a vile, mercenary place turned out so poorly and tanked so badly, but compared to the abject misery that is watching Foodfight!, even that happiness is fleeting. This is, in all sincerity, one of the very worst movies I have ever seen, not worthy of even the most morbid ironic fascination. It is dreadful, ugly, stupid, filthy-minded, and morally bereft on multiple levels. [[SchmuckBait Also, you can totally see it for free on Amazon Prime.]]

->It's so horrible! Yet I stare perversely fascinated.

->"I am sickened, but curious."
