I love Postal 2 so this is right up my alley


A sequel to the Machinegames/Bethesda wolfenstein trilogoy where a dying 3rd reich opens portals to other universes to try and conquer them, thus leading to a multiversal Day of the Jackboot scenerio, B.J. must team up with the protagonists of other works (including the classic version of himself) to tear the nazis a new one

How is that an AAP? That's AWESOME!


The upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel... is a fairly serious film (though not without occasional comedy) about Happy coaching Shooter McGavin's estranged daughter born from a One Night Stand (hence why she was neve menioned in the OG film). In other words, less like Happy Gilmore and more Creed with golf.

It’s pretty much a huge hit among the fans of Punch-Drunk Love since it’s Adam Sandler in another dramatic role.

Popular among psychological horror and art film fans. It is a very modest success, and is very well-received.


A movie that starts in the middle of an already-established story of high people trying to find the magical walrus lizard spaghetti hobo. The camera is very shaky, randomly zooms in and out, sometimes randomly cuts to clips of things that have nothing to do with the plot (like the main character slurring the Preamble to the Constitution), every actor slurs their lines, and has a body swap that happens for no reason, one of them swapping bodies with Taylor Swift. Also includes Tom Hanks in a cameo without his shirt screaming "A cookie is just a potato with low self-esteem!", then babbling about "shoshball kollumpses." Also midway through it cuts to the entire rickroll sequence out of nowhere, and also scenes from other movies that do not drive the (if you can call it that) plot of the film.

The next Batman movie sees Batman as a wacky Cloudcuckoolander rather then the brooding serious character he is in most other incarnations.

The film becomes infamous for its Surreal Horror with the quokkas. It's especially popular in Australia.


A piece of web literature that takes place in the Slender Man Mythos, and the protagonist is a wallaby living in Australia. The wallaby isn't even that anthropomorphized, it's just a wallaby dealing with wallaby problems.

The wallaby is unethically experimented on by Slender Man. It becomes universally acclaimed for it's psychological horror, unconventional storytelling, and anti-animal testing messages.


A man just flicks through remotes on his television, and through that, combined with his monologuing and flashbacks, we get to know his entire life story thus far.

It’s rather popular amongst fans of non-standard movies like The Boondock Saints and Clerks


A more subversive take on a Missing Episode Creepypasta where the protagonist finds a DVD containing a lost episode of Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) wherein Sonic.EXE appears at the start to be turned into Metal Sonic while Shadow and Omega from the games are stranded in the SatAM universe and meet the Freedom Fighters.

This bizarre crossover achieves some fame for how it adapted Sonic EXE into the SatAM world. During the crossover, Shadow and Omega end up doing a Heel–Face Turn, joining the Freedom Fighters to defeat Metal Sonic EXE and save their DVD, but this ends up leading to Metal Sonic EXE entering the real world. It grows popular with Sonic EXE and SatAM fans alike.


A The Most Dangerous Video Game creepypasta of Super Smash Bros. Brawl where the player must complete the entire Subspace Emissary with Gandondorf and no other characters... (Ganondorf was infamously dogshit in that game.)

Despite being a Creepypasta and all, it is critically acclaimed by horror enthusiasts and just people alike for its balancing of horror and comedy, storytelling, and the visual effects.


2 hours of the same version of Tom Hanks from this post, still without his shirt, running around the united states babbling to himself, before the credits interrupt him mid-sentence, only for him to finish after the credits in a Post-Credits Scene only to then cut to black.

Its so insane it becomes a meme down the road.


A film set in the direct aftermath of a typical woods-set slasher movie after the Final Girl kills the slasher and escapes, and the film consists of her driving home, occasionally stopping to go to the bathroom, get a meal to keep her going, or sleeping at some motel all as she's silent from the shock of what she went through. Did we mention its virtually all in real time, around 3 hours bar an intermission (representing the sleep)?

The film is still quite interesting for keen-eyed viewers to watch, as what happens over those 3 hours provides clues to what that Final Girl went through before killing the slasher.


A Slasher Film where the plot twist is that the slasher turns out to actually be a Punch-Clock Villain and has been deliberately trying to find loopholes within his deal with a secret offscreen villain in order to not kill the protagonists. All of the slasher's victims are actually Accidental Murders from his own mistakes and lack of foresight.

It gains a fanbase consisting of people who love "unconventional" horror.


A pastiche of Iyashikei manga taking place 66 years ago in what will eventually become Japan, centering on a group of sapient raptor-like dinosaur middle schoolers living in a society akin to modern Japan, and raising an adorable alien thing. The series ends in a Genre Shift where the alien turns out to be a destructive Adorable Abomination, torments and attacks the friend group, and ultimately summons a massive meteor that kills everyone.

Some would see it as So Bad, It's Good and some would see it as endearing. Plus, if the narration and information provided was incredible, a lot of people might be willing to look over the dodgy effects.


A 3 hour film about a wall. It's literally just 3 straight hours of the camera focusing on a wall, with nothing happening. It was painted months ago, so you don't even get the 'excitement' of watching paint dry.

It's screen in art galleries as an avan garde dadaist piece.

It somehow is a hit movie and revives the career of the ZAZ member who made An American Carol .

A romantic comedy about the Casting Couch and with a sympathetic view of the powerful casting agent. With our powerful middle-aged male lead "falling in love" at first sight with a young woman in extreme poverty who he thinks would be perfect for his upcoming Oscar Bait movie.
