->''"I'm one of the biggest supporters of UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy I know, which usually boils down to saying stuff like, 'Yeah, it's godawful, but it's hilarious.'"''

->''"Those of you who have seen ''The Heretic'' have doubtless already guessed that my mind was a good deal more blown by the time I had finished watching it. As for the rest of you -— well, it’s like this… ''Film/ExorcistIITheHeretic'' isn’t just a bad sequel to a good movie. Hell, it isn’t even just a terrible sequel to a great movie. Rather, it is a film so comprehensively misbegotten, so determinedly wrong-headed, so utterly incapable of realizing its nonsensical and overweening ambitions that it has become a classic in its own right, albeit of an altogether different species from its predecessor. It is almost as if, instead of merely stealing and egregiously misapplying ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill'''s themes, ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'' had been made as an official sequel to it, with the full blessing and backing of the original producers. There’s one hugely important sense in which that analogy doesn’t hold up, however, for ''Exorcist II'' was not made by any late-70’s counterpart to Creator/EdWood Jr. No, the blame for this hypnotic fiasco rests with a well and for the most part justly respected director -— no less a personage than John '''Film/{{Deliverance}}'' ' Boorman! But what you have to remember about [[Creator/JohnBoorman Boorman]] (and what ''Exorcist II''’s producers clearly forgot) is that sometimes he’s John '''Film/{{Zardoz}}''' Boorman instead. It was very definitely the latter avatar that arrived in Hollywood in the final quarter of 1975, bearing a cranium full of breathtakingly bad ideas."''

With glitchy graphics, stupid plot and just the lack of sanity\\

->''While all this information is being hosed into the reader's eyes like a geyser of crazy, this book rockets from 0 to 60 on the loony meter and overdelivers on practically every level. From the moment the Gestapochauns play a mean practical joke on the old Irish washerwoman who works in the kitchen to the moment that the lawyer/fiance realizes [[SquirrelsInMyPants exactly what the Nazi leprechaun named Greta is up to in his pants]], it's one fifty-page freakout that's firing on every cylinder.''

->''It isn't enough that a movie be campy and mediocre. It must show incomparably flawed craftsmanship in every detail. It must be so stupefyingly artless that it IS ART, albeit of the most accidental kind.''

->"The thing about you is you're so bad you're brilliant. You know? I could listen to you for hours, I really could. You came to entertain yourself, but you entertained me, the audience, I mean, we loved you. You were horrifically entertaining."

->''It was shocking, outrageous, insulting... and I loved every minute of it!''

->"Some things are so stupid they become awesome!"

->"It is so far down on the bad anime ladder, that it breaks through the floor like an old Creator/{{Nintendo}} game, then ends up at the top of the screen next to my best anime of all time list."

->"It is an enigma that transcends the limits of trash itself to become something beyond. A perfect car crash of garbage that takes the LowestCommonDenominator and divides that by zero. This isn't just trash; it's a full-on fucking landfill, and in doing so, has become the ultimate work of art."

->"''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' is such an atrocious movie and I don't understand how people like it. With that said, I love this movie. I am ''obsessed'' with it. It is such an abject failure of a motion picture in every conceivable way that it is truly captivating. [...] The animation is laughably unfinished. Every single character other than Puff Daddy and the octopus is either annoying or unlikable. Oscar is literally [[DesignatedHero a villain that the movie refuses to call out]]. [...] Literally every single thing people hate about Creator/{{DreamWorks|Animation}} is in this movie. It is the perfect storm of awfulness that only comes once in a blue moon. It's probably the true worst [=DreamWorks=] movie, but I can't realistically rank it last because it is a joy to watch and think about and meme and be absolutely baffled by. I am never bored watching ''Shark Tale''. I am always fully alert and attentive. I adore this movie and my obsession with it has only grown with time. And that's because it is, without a doubt, a cinematic disaster."

->"It's a perfect storm of shit."

->"''Dungeons and Dragons'' is one of those rare films that simply gets everything wrong. The casting is wrong. The writing is wrong. The story is wrong. The effects are wrong. And this strange combination somehow turns out a beautiful, beautiful butterfly of absolute horribleness."

->"This is some of the most gorgeously refined garbage I have ever seen.

->"Wow. it's rare that I see a thriller that seems to have gotten its plan from WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam trying to con Widow Granny out of her fortune. While I'm glad that this movie is on Creator/{{Netflix}} in that I can get an episode of it out sooner, a movie like this should be seen on the big screen and with the largest audience possible. Me sitting alone and screaming '[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]' to myself doesn't have the same effect. Creator/TylerPerry is a {{soap opera}}-writing genius. He ''does'' know his audience. He ''knows'' why they're here. He knows how to write things as crazy as possible to ''get you hooked on this madness!''"

->"So why do I love this movie so much if I don't think it's particularly competent? Well I don't know, why do people like ''{{Film/The Room|2003}}'' so much? Yeah, I'm genuinely sorry if you clicked on this video with a desire for me to explain why this is an unironically great film, because it's not."

->''I am not trying to sell anyone of you to think that ''Film/Catwoman2004'' is a good movie; because it is not. It is, in my humble opinion, something'' '''better'''.

->''[[Film/{{Twilight}} The movie]] is unconscionably long, and I can't imagine ever wanting to watch it again, but I am glad I got to see vampires playing baseball.''

->''If it were better, it wouldn't be as good.''

->''A few dozen minutes, immersed in a universe with your friends, wondering how one can possibly stoop so low, trying to reconstruct the creation process to find the precise moment where the film went wrong, seeing the director's intents collapse spectacularly in a majestic crumbling of awkwardness, and feeling safe laughing like drunk pigs while mocking the film, until you realize that you only feel tenderness and indulgence towards it, and that thanks to it you just spent a wonderful moment with people dear to you.''

->''Pompeii'' is laughably stupid, but I don't say that as a bad thing because heaven knows there are enough films that are boringly stupid.''

->''Few Christmas albums are as truly terrible as ''Franchise/StarWars: Christmas in the Stars'', Creator/GeorgeLucas' ill-fated cash in on the Christmas season. But between [[Music/BonJovi the secret celebrity]] hiding in the credits to the seven songs sung by "robots," few Christmas albums are as enjoyably terrible as this one.''

->''Let me see. We have a bunch of women killed with gardening tools within a few city blocks. All the women used the same gardener. Nope. [[PoliceAreUseless Got me baffled.]] Even [[Series/HawaiiFiveO Steve McGarrett]] couldn't figure this one out.''

->''Film/MammaMia'' is terrible, and yet, it's one of the very few movies that passes right through the wall in the ''Franchise/StarTrek''-way where they reverse the polarity, and you come out the other side and go, "It's strangely wonderful!"

->''[[CouldSayItBut I wish I could simply write]], "Look, of course it's one of the worst movies ever made. But it has hilarious dialogue, a weirdo action climax, a bizarre explanation for the faces of Easter Island, and dozens if not dozens [[NationalGeographicNudity of beautiful bare breasts]]." I am, however, a responsible film critic and must conclude that ''Rapa Nui'' is a bad film. If you want to see it anyway, of course, that's strictly your concern. I think I may check it out again myself.''

->''Here is a movie so outrageous and preposterous it is either (a) suicidal or (b) throbbing with a horrible fascination. I lean toward (b). It's a lot of things, but boring is not one of them. I cannot recommend the movie, but ... why the hell can't I? Just because it's godawful? What kind of reason is that for staying away from a movie? Godawful and boring, that would be a reason.''

->''Those of you who have seen ''The Heretic'' have doubtless already guessed that my mind was a good deal more blown by the time I had finished watching it. As for the rest of you -— well, it’s like this… ''Film/ExorcistIITheHeretic'' isn’t just a bad sequel to a good movie. Hell, it isn’t even just a terrible sequel to a great movie. Rather, it is a film so comprehensively misbegotten, so determinedly wrong-headed, so utterly incapable of realizing its nonsensical and overweening ambitions that it has become a classic in its own right, albeit of an altogether different species from its predecessor.

It was very definitely the latter avatar that arrived in Hollywood in the final quarter of 1975, bearing a cranium full of breathtakingly bad ideas.''

->''Its delicious unconscious ridiculousness, and its enchanting naiveté, are as supreme and unapproachable, in their way, as are Shakespeare's sublimities... Nobody can add to the absurdity of this book, nobody can imitate it successfully, nobody can hope to produce its fellow; it is perfect.''

->There's an art to writing memorable trash as opposed to boring trash. In the original Sweet Valley series, Pascal and her army of ghostwriters created a preposterous but perfectly realised world where [[WishFulfillment everyone was gorgeous, the sun always shone,]] local band The Droids were ready to play at every party and there was always a chance that a handsome newcomer, bitchy new cheerleader or serial killer would come along to liven things up. It was silly and stupid, but it was never boring.

->''It's so wrong, it's right!''

->''It’s so awful that...well, it's a waste of time and energy to spend one second hating it.''

->''Let me make this perfectly clear, though. Any jokes I make today at George's expense are not meant in malice whatsoever. I genuinely love this show precisely for how bad it is.''

->''You might remember how back in the early days of video games, you could get so many points that your score would flip from 999,999 back to 0, meaning that performing too well may actually cause you to fail miserably. The opposite of this phenomenon is the case with ''Hulk Rules''. It is so bad in so many ways, that it actually flips the scoreboard in reverse to achieve an impossible level of greatness.''

->''(Ummm... confession time: I actually have come around big time on "Gucci Gang".\\\
It's one of the dumbest songs on two legs, but fuck, I think that may be what makes me love it so much.)''

->''Ah, yes, "Anime Swordsman" [subclass]... "Gloating Monologue" [class feature]. These are genius! This is no longer the "crappy homebrew" video, this is the "amazing homebrew" video.''

->''The combination of hilarious fail unseen since the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames CDi Zelda series]] and pretty decent voice acting propelled Boreale to his current status. In short, much like the Zelda [=CDi=] series turning into the single largest repository of hilarious [[YouTubePoop YTPs]] and Music/RebeccaBlack being awesomely hilarious than being failtastically hilarious, Boreale swung the bar of fail so hard that fail transposed into awesome.''

->''I love that it is a train wreck mishmash of Franchise/FinalFantasy and Creator/{{Disney}} where you play as the biggest dork to ever grace a video game. I also love that the plot is several bad anime series blended together into [[KudzuPlot a mess that is nearly incomprehensible]]. The games for me are the equivalent of playing a so bad it is good movie like ''{{Film/The Room|2003}}'' or ''Film/{{Showgirls}}.

->''The critic in me is forced to give it our lowest possible score, but that comes with my highest possible recommendation.''

->''It's a rare gem of a game that manages to be immensely entertaining despite having no obvious redeeming qualities whatsoever.''

->''"It's nothing but shiny, glorious failure, and I love it like a mother loves a child who won't stop eating paste."

->"The Sega CD had its place in history... It's a piece of shit, but it has a certain appeal."''

->''"YOU'RE WINNER!" is the kind of stuff that turns horrible games into legends. It's the cherry on top of the diarrhea shake.''

->''Oh, it's just ''beautiful''! [[GiftedlyBad You could not craft something as bad as this if you set out to try.]]''

->''It is the very model of a modern game calamity\\

And then we would have crowned this mess a modern gaming master-asterpiece![[note]]In an ironic way, it kind of is.[[/note]]''

->''"''Ride to Hell'' is the kind of bad that leaves me with a smile on my face. It's a little retarded child with its head stuck in a cereal box and a massive big dump in its big boy pants, saying "Imma ''real'' game now!" ''(ruffles hair)'' Of ''course'' you are, ''Ride to Hell''. And that's why I think everyone should buy it. Just to ''fuck with some heads!'' This could be our ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace''!"''

->"This is the thing: You want to classify ''VideoGame/DeadToRights'' as, like, one of those games that tries to do everything and doesn't really succeed. But I think a more accurate description is: ''Dead to Rights'' is doing everything humanely possible to be '''awesome''', and it's ''just not sure'' how to do it."

->''"I'm one of the biggest supporters of UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy I know, which usually boils down to saying stuff like, "Yeah, it's godawful, but it's hilarious."''

->"I always kind of liked them. They were so bad or silly that they were good, if you know what I mean, and I think the passage of time might make them more fun now."

->"''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' doesn't hold up to scrutiny that well...or, at all. It isn't well-written, it's very 90's in tropes and feel, and...I mean, look at it. But it's special. There's an earnestness to these performances, with some legitimately great singing and over-the-top voice work put in. The desire to emulate ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'''s technical achievements as a video game through 3D animation and motion-capture technology is incredibly admirable. And while it's aged rather horribly, it's fun seeing all of this wild, untrained energy brought to the forefront. It has all the love and joy of a community theater production; the presentation isn't great, not all of the cast is seasoned, but it's clear that there's a lot of heart, and that makes it endearing far beyond quality."

->'''Statler:''' Now ''that'' was a hilarious!\\

->"That sounds terrible. I wanna watch it twice."

->Pretty awful? ''Pretty'' awful? It was a '''masterpiece''' of awful!"

->"So why do I love this movie so much if I don't think it's particularly competent? Well I don't know, why do people like ''Film/TheRoom'' so much? Yeah, I'm genuinely sorry if you clicked on this video with a desire for me to explain why this is an unironically great film, because it's not."

->"I understand completely when people say that they don't play ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'' for the plot. They're just wrong. I play ''DOOM Eternal'' for the plot. And that might sound strange to you. But ''Eternal'''s plot is pure insanity, and it does everything that it needs to. We are painfully aware that the plot exists as a contrivance because the environmental designer went fucking ballistic. ''I just don't care.'' I played every single level, gleefully wondering 'Oh boy, what stupid shit is next? I cannot fucking wait.' So, play the game for the plot. It is ''integral'' to the experience of ''DOOM Eternal''."
