There's Hype Aversion, when numerous people's rabid touting of the latest masterpiece deter you from rushing out and buying it. And then there's the reverse phenomenon, when numerous people's rabid panning of the latest uber-stinker, complete with detailed lists on why you should never, ever, ever buy this piece of dung actually fill you with the masochistic urge to rush out and buy it just to see if it's that bad. It's like hearing about the train wreck of the century: Your better sensibilities are repulsed at the thought of it, and yet part of you wants to see that wreck in all its magnificent destruction. You want to see just how gloriously terrible it must be for all the high-profile people to be expressing their horror over it. Don't feel ashamed about it; it's the natural foil to our obsession with the best of the best. Just as we want to know how high in brilliance art can rise, we also want to know how low it can sink in sheer awfulness. Plus the fact that reviews spewing bile over the many ways something stinks tend to be far more entertaining to read than reviews extolling the virtues of the latest Oscar Bait. This feeling is sometimes the basis of So Bad, It's Good. What differentiates Bile Fascination from So Bad It's Good, is the fact it is interesting to discuss the work, even if the consuming the work itself is not enjoyable at all, even in So Bad It's Enjoyable way. Perhaps it is interesting to discuss how the authors thought this work was a great idea. Or all the conditions that caused that work to be made in the first place. Distinct from No Such Thing as Bad Publicity in that the criticism is concerning the quality of the work, rather than the content. Compare and contrast Just Here for Godzilla and Watch It for the Meme. Can make the film in question become a Guilty Pleasure for some and, if enough people disagree with the majority, a Cult Classic. Similar to but not quite Schmuck Bait. |

Marville would be completely forgotten if not for this trope. Written by then-president of Marvel Bill Jemas (who had essentially no comic writing experience before this) on a bet, it starts as an unfunny parody of the American media business in the early 00s, becomes an unfunny parody of superhero comics, then turns into a highly-inaccurate Author Tract on science, organized religion, and the story ends claiming to have solved world peace. The comic continues with a recap issue, which comes across as a Take That! at comic editors (when this comic itself clearly had Protection from Editors because of being written by the president of the company), and the series finally ends with a submission guide for Marvel's revival of the Epic Comics label, designed to give other creative voices the chance to publish for Marvel with similar creative freedom. That line ended after about a year and the only comic of note it produced was Trouble (Marvel Comics), another comic that fits this trope. In the end, all the comic accomplished was gaining the notoriety of being one of the worst comics ever made. | |

Ethnic Cleansing: If the name alone doesn't put you off then the details will. It's pretty much a video game adaptation of Racial Holy War, all the way down to the fact that it's an Obvious Beta. It was made by neo-Nazis and hammers its ideas home - for starters, blacks make monkey noises when you kill them. | |

365 Days: After the better-known 2020 film adaptation gained infamy over accusations of romanticizing rape, kidnapping and organized crime, some people began seeking out the original novels to see how they compared. Many readers have opined that, in addition to the questionable writingnote some readers of the English versions aren't sure if the problem lies more with the author and editor, or the translators, the films are tame compared the books' outrageous content. | |

Trouble (Marvel Comics) was Marvel's attempt at reviving 1950s romance comics... by focusing on the teenage sex lives of Peter Parker's parents and his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. The covers feature photos of possibly underage girls in bikinis giving suggestive looks to the readers, and the book inside is no better due to the flat and unlikeable characters. The story eventually takes a turn for the melodramatic, featuring a teen pregnancy plot, where abortion is considered and handled with all of the misaimed Darker and Edgier Black Comedy that Mark Millar is capable of, and reveals that Peter Parker is actually May's son, not Mary's, reaction to which veers from confusing (the timeline makes absolutely no sense) to the offensive (possibly implying May raising Peter means more because he's her biological child, not "just" her nephew by marriage). | |

The Turner Diaries is a book written by a white supremacist. Actually, that's putting it lightly; it's a violent white supremacist Power Fantasy, in which our "heroes" carry out mass genocide. Despite being supressed, if not illegal, in several countries for obvious reasons, many people are interested in the book to see how horrific it really is. Especially the FBI, who use it as a way of identifying white supremacist rhetoric, culture and tactics (with its most infamous case being the Oklahoma City Bombing). Even if you (somehow) look past its hateful rhetoric and blatant neo-Nazi propaganda, it's an hilariously badly written book with stilted dialogues, paper-thin "characters", a contrived plot, in which the neo-Nazi protagonists are only able to win because their opponents act like idiots, and an Esoteric Happy Ending, in which the entire world is nuked into oblivion and the "white paradise" is created in an irradiated hellhole. Yay? | |

Empress Theresa: The book is a literary chemical spill in and of itself to begin with, but when you introduce its very imbalanced author and his obsessive defense of the title, you get a modern-day freak show and a case study in egomania. People who took the time to read this book (or at least about it) are unanimously floored by its staggeringly imbecilic plot. | |

The Day the Clown Cried: This is considered one of the holy grails of lost media aficionados. It was never released to the public and currently remains in the hands of several film companies and celebrities as a morbid curiosity. Why is it so bad, you ask? Because it holds the dubious distinction of having one of the most alienating premises in cinema history: It's about a clown that entertains children...in Auschwitz. If you are really that desperate to watch this, you have to wait until the Library of Congress releases it in August 2025. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): People who play this game today play it to see if it really is that bad. Similarly, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is said to be just as bad as, if not worse than, 06. People mostly just play this game to pick apart every last flaw, from its motherload of glitches, constant voice clips, and less-than-impressive gameplay. |

Holy Terror is a book where a Captain Ersatz Batman and Catwoman take on Al-Qaeda, originally meant to be a parody/callback to World War II-era propaganda comics, but due to a combination of Frank Miller's Creator Breakdown and changes made during the Schedule Slip of the book (originally meant as a Batman story until either Miller changed his mind or DC told him they wouldn't publish it) turned it into the type of angry, racist story that it was supposed to be a parody of. Add in the absolutely bizarre artwork, terrible pacing, and the story completely losing touch with reality when suddenly Al-Qaeda starts to resemble the Illuminati, and there are few people will defend this book for anything but the Bile Fascination of reading it. | |

The Red Ape Family immediately gathered infamy and had many memes and YouTubers making fun of it. There were many reasons for it: 1) It was entirely based on Non-Fungible Tokens (specifically the "Bored Ape" collection), a controversial and widely hated technology; 2) the voice acting is poor and it is barely animated; 3) The Twitter account for it was overhyping the show to the point of delusion, calling its first episode "already a masterpiece". It's a dumpster fire and many, many people were eager to watch it smoulder. | |

Discworld has the historical figure of Bergholt Stuttley 'Bloody Stupid' Johnson, a man who took Bungling Inventor and Bizarrchitecture and elevated them to art forms. His creations ranged from merely useless (a range of monuments less than an inch high) to somewhat alarming (a manicure device mainly used to peel potatoes, a fountain capable of launching a stone cherub a thousand feet in the air) to reality breaking (a row of houses that refused to confirm to Euclidean geometry). His crowning achievement was a mail-sorting machine - containing a wheel for which the value of pi is exactly three - that threatened to destroy the universe. As for how he kept receiving commissions to build this stuff; half of it was rich idiots showing off that they had money to spend on things that were worse than useless, and the other half was a sick curiosity about what he would do next. | |

Upon release, Milf Manor by TLC quickly rose to prominence as one of the worst dating shows ever conceived. Eight mother-son pairs were flown to a Reality TV Show Mansion in Mexico to compete for the other contestants' sons and moms while sharing a room with their own biological relation. Aside from being contrived to set up all manner of I Banged Your Mom and Mama Bear conflicts among the men and women, and uncomfortably flirting with incest, commentators noted it sounded astoundingly similar to an Audience-Alienating Premise parody show from 30 Rock named Milf Island devised by Corrupt Corporate Executive Jack Donaghy. Many viewers remarked on Twitter they only kept watching to see how awful it would get. The show currently sits at 17% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been described by critics as "psychological torture" and "Freudian horror". | |

On several occasions 365 Days has been described as "an even worse version of Fifty Shades of Grey". Considering that Fifty Shades is already notorious, some people just had to check out 365 Days to see if it was really that bad. The same applies to the books, especially after they were translated from Polish, as well as the sequels This Day and The Next 365 Days. | |

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was first announced in 2019 with little fanfare, but upon its eventual release in 2023, it rapidly caught word-of-mouth attention in the worst way imaginable due to being utterly eviscerated by critics and casual players alike, with audiences — even those who aren't interested in Tolkien's Legendarium — flocking to see how bad someone would have to botch a game based on a beloved IP for it to earn immediate "potential worst game of the decade" status. | |

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): Fans tend to watch the absolutely despised "Town and Out" (for its realistic nature) and "Moral Decay" (for Buttercup grasping the Jerkass Ball quite hard) just to see how bad they are.

It's likely the only reason anyone's even heard of the Save the Pearls duology (a YA dystopia that tries to tackle racism via a Persecution Flip) is due to people wanting to check just how bad the portrayal of racism is, after it got huge amounts of criticism for it. It would probably just have been overlooked as one of many teen dystopian novels published at the time if it weren't for this. | |

Big Mouth has landed a spot on its page because of the controversy over its premise as an edgy, no-holds-barred comedy about puberty. Those who decided to take a chance and see for themselves are divided into two camps: those who have found it to be the funniest cartoon in years, and those who were unimpressed by its unusual art style, crass humor and uncomfortable subject matter. | |

The I-Land: Seems to be the primary reason to watch. More than one review has called it not only Netflix's worst original series, but one of the worst shows ever made. Between universally scathing reviews and the heavy involvement of notorious misogynist Neil LaBute as scriptwriter (leading to lines such as "I didn't try to rape you. There's no such thing like that in a place like this. There's only sex and no sex."), the series has inspired some critics to advise viewers to watch it as a sort of science experiment. It's been called "bafflingly horrible" and currently has an approval rating of 8% on Rotten Tomatoes. | |

Superman 64 is infamously known for its laughable story, the "kryptonite fog" used as an excuse for the game's terrible draw distance, the shoddy controls, the massive amount of levels that amount to just flying through rings, and the many bugs and glitches that can be either hilarious, a game breaker, or game breaking hilarious. ProtonJon covered the game so that no one else would have to play it and he tried to discourage people from playing it, but they went and bought/tried the game anyway just to see for themselves how bad it really was. | |

The Lightlark Saga: After early reviews for Lightlark came out and were generally critical of the novel and the way it was marketed (with some calling it "The Fyre Festival of Booktok"), some people picked up the book mostly to see if it was really that bad. The same applies to Nightbane, with even readers who thought Lightlark was bad admitting they wanted to read the sequel out of morbid curiosity over what crazy direction the series would go in (less cynically, a few readers wanted to see if the author could actually build upon Lightlark's redeeming qualities). | |

In Liar Liar, this is the only reason Judge Stevens allows Fletcher to call Samantha Cole to the stand. He's completely and utterly fed up with how much of a joke the trial has been, and pretty much already made up his mind that Samantha's ex-husband will win the case, but he just has to see what Fletcher is going to do next. | |

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was already fraught with a ton of bad publicity prior in the months-turned-years before release for a multitude of reasons, from concerns over the game being a follow-up to the beloved Batman: Arkham Series as well as the controversial live-service gameplay model alienating fans, with many expecting to only approach the game from a distance. However, general animosity turned into this trope when the game was finally released and word got out of just how bad its plot actually was, with the game's handling of genuinely killing off the Justice League, including Batman in what was advertised as the late Kevin Conroy's Swan Song for the character drawing such backlash that more fans flocked to see if it really was as baffling and tone-deaf as claimed. | |

All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder is an absolutely bizarre story where Batman kidnaps Dick Grayson Age Twelve, as soon as his parents are killed, forces him to live off of rats captured in the Batcave, calls him "retarded" for not knowing he's the "goddamn Batman" and "queer" for not liking the name "Batmobile", Black Canary is an Irish ninja who travels across the country to meet Batman because she idolizes him, the entire Justice League is made up of absolute idiots to show how much better Batman is than them, and it ends randomly in issue 10 (of the planned 12) because Schedule Slip just got too bad. And this is just scratching the surface of the problems with this book. | |

Titanic: The Legend Goes On is such a legendary trainwreck that those who haven't seen it question if it genuinely exists or is a leaked college experiment not meant to be seen by humanity.note It's the former, and can even be bought on DVD. Besides its nonsensical plot, Stock Footage Failure galore, and Lighter and Softer retelling of a real historical tragedy, the film has a rapping dog on board the Titanic that comes completely out of nowhere and Makes Just as Much Sense in Context. This is the main reason why people watch it. | |

CrazyBus: This is the reason behind why the game is so popular in the first place despite being something someone bored could've coded up one lazy afternoon. It's a tech demo, a sample application provided with a third-party compiler toolchain and you're supposed to study the game's source code and learn how to program using the toolchain from there. And yet all people are after is the ROM generated by the compiler. And then there's its annoying theme. | |

Victoria is another military-political Power Fantasy, this time by a reactionary paleoconservative, in which a group of Right Wing Militia Fanatics go to war against Strawman Political enemies. Despite the fact that it's completely serious, the book reads like a satire along the lines of Judge Dredd, Warhammer 40,000, or (movie) Starship Troopers for being so over-the-top. For example, the author refers to gangsters as "orcs" and calls New York City "The Babylon on the Hudson". | |

Farrah Abraham's My Teenage Dream Ended is a Cult Classic of an album that's become infamous for existing in a reputation between this and genuine critical admiration. The debut album of a nascent artist who knew very little about music and enforced... questionable creative direction to producers, it was widely lambasted for just how bizarrely it mangled its attempt at being a sharp dance pop album, filled with ridiculously atonal instrumentals amidst heavily auto-tuned vocals that never properly mixes together. This actually ended up being a point that critics quickly became fascinated with — Abraham and co were so off course that it shot the moon and accidentally became an intriguing bit of avant-garde outsider music, which has been enough to earn it a degree of sincere prestige and placements on "best-of" lists. Even if you aren't into the Accidental Art angle, it's still experimental and weird enough to have drawn a long-term audience of varying levels of irony. | |

The earliest editions of Warhammer 40,000 featured artwork that was less "grimdark" and more "it came from the 1980s." Beak-shaped helmets, ludicrously massive guns and the biggest mohawks you will ever see await you. Longtime fans always like to look back at these just to see how far the franchise has come, though some miss that era and think the new material takes itself too seriously. | |

The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure. Everything about it, from its staggeringly inane premise, baffling marketing gimmicks and its eccentric marketer. (Yes, marketer - not creator). The end result was the mother of all box office bombs and a car accident of a film that its few viewers just couldn't look away from. | |

Skull Island: Rise of Kong: The game is a low-effort licensed shovelware that does a huge disservice to its source material and is clearly just a forgettable cash-grab, but it garnered a lot of attention upon its release due to just how rushed it was, with many considering it a strong candidate for worst game of 2023, and a number of people checked out the game solely for that. | |

Bubsy 3D: A series of contested quality to begin with decided to go for innovation for its third instalment. It succeeded somewhat, at least initially - at the time the only other games of a similar scale were Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot, both of which released around the same time, with the former also (naturally) being a Nintendo 64 exclusive and the latter having gameplay closer to a 2D platformer (think something along the lines of Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island meets Donkey Kong Country, but with more polygons!) - but then almost immediately afterward the Video Game 3D Leap really started to take off, and plenty of developers were quick to show how it's really done. It wasn't long before the game started looking horribly garish in comparison, and the retrospective was brutal. Condemned by History is putting it mildly. Of course, all that is the main reason why most people are interested in this game nowadays. | |

Where the Dead Go to Die is known for being one of, if not, the, worst animated movie of all time, to the point where some reviewers such as PhantomStrider, outright refuse to discuss the film for this very reason. The Mysterious Mr. Enter even called it, “too bad to be an atrocity.� In other words, it’s too terrible to be considered terrible. With a reputation like that, many people can’t help but be curious, just to see how far the movie goes for shock value and disturbing content. | |

A Certain Sacrifice: Infamous for being Madonna's film debut and having No Budget (it was thrown together to capitalize on her fame in 1985, and she immediately disowned it). It can charitably described as "slice of life vignettes meets rape-revenge thriller," yet there exists a subset of viewers who nonetheless appreciate it for her performance and the look at New York City at the end of The '70s. | |

This trope (along with OneyPlays) is the sole reason anyone still remembers the L33tStr33t Boys. Their music and lyrics appeal to anime and gaming culture so aggressively that newcomers couldn't believe the band's sincerity and lack of self-awareness.

Ace Lives: In Chapter 19, despite the increasing amount of embarrassment and humiliation everyone is feeling, no one can find it in themselves to stop Whitebeard and Kaido from airing all the dirt they have on each other from their time together on the Rocks Pirates.

F.A.T.A.L. is known solely for being a theatrically egregious example of how not to make a roleplaying game. Complete with bafflingly convoluted and self-contradictory rules, vicious misogyny and racism, and extreme amounts of sexual deviancy of every stripe and sort. If you look up any discussion about the game, it's usually about how bad it is. | |

Heroes in Crisis had loads of this, even while it was coming out. With each issue, more people checked out the book just to see why it was so hated by everyone. What they found was a series full of padding, terrible handling of the topic of mental illness, and turning a beloved character into a mass murderer because of Executive Meddling. Immediately after it ended, the series was retconned and undone so that the mass murders never happened in the first place. | |

Countdown to Final Crisis was the followup to the well-received 52, meant to lead in to Grant Morrison's Final Crisis. However, Countdown was extremely slow-paced despite being a weekly book, the continuity between issues was almost nonexistent, the actual storylines were weak, and the story branched off into tie-in issues so often that many stories never finished within the book. It failed at its mission so thoroughly that Final Crisis ignored everything in the book, and everything was turned into Canon Discontinuity. The only reason for anyone to read it anymore is to see just how bad it really is. | |

Downplayed with Family Guy. Although it's been, for the most part, well-received, from season seven and onward, the show slowly began to suffer from Seasonal Rot and the later seasons have received mixed-to-negative reviews from fans. Those who decided to see for themselves why this was the case found it difficult to believe that they were written by sane, decent human beings. | |

Foodfight! Where to even begin with this one? It had an unlisted, uncelebrated release and yet it rocketed to notoriety thanks to its infamously Troubled Production, moronic plot, baffling premise, gratuitous Product Placement, disturbingly inappropriate humor and eye-gouging visuals. It is less of a movie and more of a lesson on how not to make an animated film! | |

Abunai Sisters received universally negative reception owing to its low-quality 3D models, grating voice acting (which is in English only and has all of the voices pitched up to the point where everyone sounds like they're on helium), and over-reliance on the Boob-Based Gag, which end up as Fetish Retardant due to the aforementioned graphics and voice acting.

The Prayer Warriors (which was confirmed to be a Troll Fic well after its publication) is one of the strangest fanfics written. It tells the story of a Designated Hero slaughtering his way through The Camp Half-Blood Series and the Harry Potter universe as well as the countries of England and Russia. It's Canon Defilement in its purest form, often with a literal meaning of "defilement" here. It's this bad reputation that draws people into reading it in the first place. | |

In Cobra Kai, this is more or less the primary reason the Sekai Taikai moderators allow both Cobra Kai and Johnny and Daniel's combined dojo compete. When made to choose between the two they almost immediately decide that Cobra Kai is the superior dojo, but as they've never seen a dojo quite like the combined Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang, they are so bemused and morbidly curious of what it could bring to the Sekai Taikai that they allow them to compete as well. The secondary reason being Johnny manages to bond with the German moderator over their shared love of Rocky IV and bad-assery. | |
