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)
- 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.

We actually voted to remove Jaws the revenge

I uh don't think anyone thinks This is a so bad it's horrible film rather than you know a so bad its good film. Like the reactions you'll get is how silly it is

Oh, in that case the Jaws one can stay off. The only one I felt strongly about was the Garbage Pail Kids one.

Alrighty, I re-cut it.

This is minor, but did I jump the gun on editing the entry for The Video Bancorp on Horrible.Other to say "the Closing Logo Group (now AVID)"? I'm saying this because I'm nervous that I was too early; the rename is official but it was only announced today and hasn't even been rolled out yet to the point that we are currently voting on our new look there. The same nervousness of jumping the gun goes to my edit on Vanity Plate as well.
Edit: domain name has been changed so I'm confident with the edits, ignore this.

I would appreciate a third opinion on this.

Doesn't sound horrible to me

It's annoying yeah, but is it the worst theme song ever? Not in my opinion. There are far worse theme songs out there.

Somehow, even though I follow the page to watch for bad entries, I don't remember this ever getting added to Advertising:
- In 2005, KFC's UK arm released an advert which holds the record for the most complaints (over 2000, to be exact) submitted to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority - though the ad remained on television, surprisingly enough! - for a very British reason; viewers felt it promoted bad manners. Someone at KFC's marketing department evidently didn't see it this way, as "Mouthful" depicts a group of office workers who probably can't sing even without a mouth stuffed full of KFC salad try to extoll the virtues of the aforementioned salad, barely on-tune and heavily muffled by the salad they shoved in.
I've heard of this ad before, and I think that the general reception is the fact that 1000s of people complained about it promoting bad manners is extremely laughable. Even the Moral Guardians page has this view in the Real Life folder. The ad is completely harmless. It also is no longer the most complained about British ad, as both Paddy Power's "Oscar Time" and Ryanair's "Jab and Go" have surpassed it, and both are rightfully listed on the page and far more vile than *checks notes* people singing the jingle with their mouths full.

It even states that the advert is still allowed to remain on TV; the problem isn't so much the advert, it's the people watching (and complaining about) it. I support removing it.
It's also needlessly snarky.

That ad just sounds more silly (if a bit gross) than actually Horrible. Certainly nowhere near as Horrible as those other two ads mentioned. Cut.

I could've sworn we removed that ad before.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
On Horrible.Live Action Films, someone removed the entry for Battlefield Earth because it's "considered So Bad, It's Good and therefore not eligible." Was there a consensus on this thread?
Edited by toonyloon on Oct 2nd 2022 at 9:13:03 AM
The film does have an entry on that page, but it's lacking context and has weasel words. Specifically:
- A lot of people called Battlefield Earth the greatest unintentionally hilarious sci-fi movie ever made. The acting is hammy, the plot is utterly nonsensical, and the villains have a constant Idiot Ball.

I think I actually brought it up to get cut here because the movie was too awesome with how trash it was to hate.
I found this on Horrible.Apps, on a sub-bullet under "I Am Rich":
- On a similar note, the Google Play store had an app called Shake For Bacon Gold for the ridiculous price of $200. Its only function is to display a picture of a gold-encrusted piece of bacon on the screen when the device is shaken. The same developer has a series of apps with similar functions, for free.
I can't find any evidence of this existing online. Does anyone have any sources to verify it's real?

There may be no such thing as notability, but there is such a thing as verifiability.

To be clear, I think I've actually looked it up and saw it on the Google Play store... But it's an "I think", not backed up by anything solid.

And if it's that forgettable, then maybe it's not really Horrible.

I couldn't find info on it by googling, starting to suspect it doesn't exist

Feels like it might've been a parody of the I Am Rich app in a skit show or something that's being remembered as genuine

I googled it and found a wiki article.

Yeah, I Am Rich was definitely real. I can;t find any evidence that "Press for Bacon Gold" was, though

Ooooh, that one. Sorry, I totally missed what the discussion was about, haha. Well if that one can't be found, cut.

Looks like someone re-added The Garbage Pail Kids already. Reckon I'll re-add the other three and direct them to the Discussion page(s).
Edit: And done
