So Bad, It's Horrible is one of the more flame-bait-y parts of the site, so a cleanup thread is needed to ensure that works aren't added simply because someone doesn't like them.
If you want to list a work under this, keep the following in mind:
- The work must have very few fans or defenders (both genuine and ironic). It should fail to appeal to any type of audience.
- Being offensive in its subject matter isn't enough.
- It isn't horrible just because a certain critic disliked it, though their reviews can be used as sources and citations.
- The work should have notably poor reviews (e.g., less than 3/10 on IMDb, or single digit scores on Rotten Tomatoes)
- For a Moral Substitute to qualify, it cannot even appeal to its target demographic.
- Please be polite while writing and as much as possible, avoid falling into Complaining About Shows You Don't Like. Instead, focus on explaining why the work is horrible.
In addition, per No Recent Examples, Please!, a work must be at least one month old before it can be added, to prevent knee-jerk reactions.

Anyway, back on track:
I'm questioning the "Willy Wonka" ad example on the basis that, at least according to this video
, people are finding it hilarious. Not in the SBIG way, either; they're legitimately saying it's funny because it's true. The actual Twitter post is gone now, but the amount of support for the ad on this video alone makes me wonder how big the backlash from the Conservative party actually was.
Berserk Button: misusing Nightmare Fuel
I don't know everything about the story, but something went wrong at the Astroworld music festival and many people died or were hospitalized. Apparently, Travis Scott encouraged fans to crowd up near the stage, which caused some of them to get crushed and suffocate. There's a video of him continuing his song while fans are seemingly carrying a dead body (or maybe they're just unconscious, it's hard to tell) out of the concert area.
EDIT: It was added to Horrible.Music Festivals already. I think it should be removed due to the No Recent Examples, Please! rule.

I'd say that incident is worth mentioning. Also somebody added Tattoo Assassins back. We agreed that the game doesn't count (it's perfectly playable and has a fanbase) and is considered more So Bad, It's Good.
The Mr. Magoo live action movie was added recently. I'm personally OK with that. What I'm not OK with is ~Ryanasaurus0077's contribution to the entry, which even on Darth Wiki seems bashy and unnecessary:
"Amazingly, this isn't even the worst Disney movie on our list—over two decades later, the company that prides itself on quality family entertainment gave itself another black eye with a more infamously bad feature."
A similar comment about the film being even worse than Mr. Magoo was added to the Artemis Fowl entry.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.This entry on Horrible.Live Action Films Gto M needs help:
- Jurassic Shark is a ripoff of both Jaws and Jurassic Park made by a Canadian independent studio. The acting is horrible. The writing makes no sense (for example, the shark is supposedly 36 feet {10.97 m} long yet can swim in shallow water undetected). Also, the characters are supposedly stranded on an island despite the fact that pylons are clearly visible and the film is obviously shot near a river. The special effects are terrible and they give the aforementioned Jaws: The Revenge a run for its money. The framing is terrible and looks like an amateur YouTube video. There's blatant Product Placement for a local microbrewery. I Hate Everything reviews it here
. It was so bad that for a time it was the lowest rated movie on IMDb, and currently holds an IMDb score of 1.5. that was enough to prevent a sequel
from being made
- Said sequel, Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse, tuens everything bad about its predescecor and tuns it Up To Eleven, with some of the worst compositing effects ever made. For instance, an explosion effect is pasted over a boat to simulate beung bliwn up and yet afterwards it can still be seen, and that's one of the less bad ones. It has has a 2.1
IMDb. You can watch Rickrapto 105 rip both the first and second apart here
and here
as part of a larger series on B-Movies like these.

Everything after the IMDb score of the first film was added recently and apparently not proofread. Can this entry be saved?
Someone added Stonetoss to Webcomics. For better or worse, I think that it is liked by people who agree with its messages. It also links to the comic, which I don't think is kosher.

Please watch Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. https://youtu.be/Vm92JNgPbqkYeah, unlike the other Nazi one which is at least agreed to be badly drawn, Stonetoss does have a fanbase. It's not a fanbase we really want on the wiki, but it is a fanbase.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Stonetoss fails the “Offensive works must fail to even appeal to people who agree with it’s message” rule. The only real issue I see with the comic is that it’s alt-right as the comic is fine on a technical level and seems competently made. I still abhor the comic for its politics but it doesn’t qualify for SBIH. I went ahead and cut it.

Once Upon A Time.I cut Spider-Man 2 PC from the Video Games page for absolutely reeking of They Changed It, Now It Sucks! Being different from a widely-beloved console release does not a bad PC game make.
Yeah, that just sounds like a Porting Disaster, not crossing the line into being a bad game on its own merits.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I mean it's just a Porting Disaster, where the issues, like you said, only stem from its inability to match up to the original game. So it's unclear if people who didn't play the original game for comparison would see it as equally horrible.

Is that relevant to the trailer at all? If not then it's irrelevant to the entry. The trailer is SBIH, the show is not.
