During a dramatic moment, there is Narm: a line is said too emphatically, or the alien is obviously a guy in a rubber suit. So why isn't the entire audience laughing? Perhaps the rest of the work is so good, and they are too wrapped up in it to be bothered. Or what's cheesy is more the fun kind of cheesy, so they are happy, but not laughing. Or maybe Rule of Cool is working its magic. Or maybe it was supposed to seem somewhat cheesy. Or perhaps the Narm feels natural in the scenario presented. Or, if the characters are up against a villain or disaster, despite the silliness of its threat, it's still considered completely and utterly dangerous. This is Narm Charm, something that by all reason should kill the drama, but doesn't. Some people will still find the scene to be true narm and others will find no narm at all. To some, it's Narm Charm and all part of the fun. Often invoked as a form of ageism, when something that was considered normal for the time something was made is seen as narm by audiences of a later generation (for example, the fact most actors in the early days of cinema were theatre actors who, naturally, needed to overact a little on stage and knew no better when on camera, or silent-era actors who similarly acted differently than sound-film actors might). The interval between a production's release and it being seen as narm by new audiences is decreasing rapidly. This is a common characteristic of many a Guilty Pleasure. If a remake does away with this, it can result in opinions that the original was So Bad, It Was Better. Compare Undead Horse Trope, Camp, Ham and Cheese, So Bad, It's Good (when something is liked because of the Narm). |

He actually came up with a gimmick that invoked this trope: Dude Love. A Shawn Michaels ripoff (his finisher was called "Sweet Shin Music"), who dressed in tie-dye shirts, wore old-school sunglasses and spoke in corny lingo that would've been out of touch in 1969. It was an absurd, bush-league persona, and fans just loved Mick Foley that much more for it. | |

From Channel Awesome: Invoked with That Dude in the Suede' Let's Play/Review Show series Suede Played, were he plays his favourite silly games. Kickassia (Channel Awesome's second year anniversary video) THRIVES off this. Almost everyone overacts, scenes are over the top and goofy, and yet it's awesome. Part 4 has some good plot developments, and an honestly creepy scene where the Critic explains what the dynamite is for. And it's because you're not supposed to take anything seriously that you're able to enjoy what happens in it. Also appears in The Nostalgia Critic's "Commercials Special" with a few over-dramatic lines like "I'm a wreck!" and "You were right, director of My Pet Monster.". But somehow it still managed to be a Tear Jerker overall and you just wanted to tell him that it was going to be okay. And it was. Linkara is able to use Narm in order to make even the most ridiculous sentences sound badass. "I AM A MAN!" is the most prominent example, but it's worth mentioning that he did it even with the words "I'll kill you to death!" in his Countdown to Final Crisis review. The whole Lord Vyce arc is made of this. A bunch of geeks running around shooting at each other with toy weapons, complete with hammy overacting and dime-store special effects shouldn't be nearly as awesome as it is. The Nostalgia Chick's "Dark Nella Saga" was this all the way. Nella left no scenery unchewed, Lindsay's acting is... not the best ever and that's still awesome, both because she knows this and Nella herself can actually act legitimately scary while still being funny. |

On the whole, this is how JonTron feels about the various Xbox Kinect Star Wars games. While he does find them silly, unresponsive, bland, and more or less describes them as Shovel Ware, he admits he feels a sense of childish whimsy when playing them as he found himself actually enjoying pretending to be a Jedi. In the end he admits he did have a ton of fun playing it despite the goofy flawed nature of the game. | |

Low Ki is a small wrestler whose entrance involves him stomping on the stage like a sumo wrestler and stalking out like Goldberg. He's so flexible and so intense that as humorous as it is, he makes it look a lot better than you'd think just by reading about it. | |

In 2006, Eddie Fatu, formerly known as Jamal from the 3 Minute Warning tag team, was repackaged as Umaga: a stereotypical Wild Samoan. Fatu's in-ring work and menacing presence helped him get over as a feared monster heel in spite of the tired, racist gimmick. | |

RWBY: The JNPR dance is the corniest, cheesiest thing imaginable, but there couldn't be a more awesome or satisfying conclusion to that subplot. Ozpin doing voices for the Maidens in the World of Remnant episode "The Four Maidens" is goofy, but it adds to the feeling that it's something out of a storybook, and works really well. Adam's line when he's about to try and murder Blake is delivered with almost no emotion to the point where it doesn't even seem to be a question, but it just shows how far he's fallen and how he can't be reasoned with anymore. |

Zack Ryder following his arrival in WWECW and his subsequent gimmick change. Oh, radio, tell me everything you know... And honestly, a lot of smarks loved him for it, because up until then he had no personality and was a sub-par wrestler. Since the change, he's had some really good matches and retired Tommy Dreamer. In fact, thanks to an internet series, he eventually became a major Ensemble Dark Horse. |

This trope is the reason Half-Life: Full Life Consequences is utter hilarity from start to finish despite (or perhaps because of) it being possibly the stupidest thing in existence. Five words: "BECAUSE YOU ARE HEADCRAB ZOMBIE." "Combines leave my son alone'' should not work, and yet it does. JOHN FREEMAN: SAVER OF HUMENS. :'( tear Gordon Freeman's death. Especially true in dramatic readings. How can such a goofy scene, containing the word comFART, be taken seriously? This is how. "Mom you were beautiful soul and Combines will pay." She talks back AFTER her head was shot off. "I HAVE TO KILL FAST AND BULLETS TOO SLOW" actually manages to sound badass, despite being one of the stupidest one liners ever. |

Most of the final battle of Higurashi: When They Cry consists of schoolchildren curb-stomping a group of trained military professionals using nothing but homemade traps, Home Alone style. But because you spent the rest of the series watching these kids go through so much horror, suffering, and madness, it's hard not to cheer for them now that they are finally kicking the ass of the conspiracy that caused them all that pain. | |

Much like Zack Ryder, there's Robbie E in TNA, though admittedly this is on a much smaller scale and much more dependent on YMMV. When he stared off as a blatant ripoff off Jersey Shore (and possibly attempting to follow the lead Zack Ryder started,) he was immediately despised by... everybody. However, Robbie E's surprising devotion to the whole gimmick (his physics-defying hair for example) is very commendable. | |

The Undertaker is the pinnacle of this trope in Professional Wrestling. Some sort of undead zombie, getting strength from an urn and wielding mystical powers?

HTF +: The premise and concept of the series, Happy Tree Friends characters play gory fan horror games (not very good ones in the first place to some people) of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that come alive? Sounds utterly ridiculous at first and yet it manages to be entertaining somehow, maybe one of the reasons is at the beginning it is pretty decent compared to other MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker animated works and we can also see going throught Art Evolution for the better. Even the creator herself admits how nonsensical it is and claims she does not understand why it is so popular. | |

Professional Wrestling itself is this. You know, somewhere in the back of your mind, it's a show, that the matches are predetermined. And while it has to be a World of Badass just for those men and women to survive the moves and often to come back from the numerous injuries they receive (and it should be remembered that every so often, a wrestler doesn't come back, so please, Don't Try This at Home), it's also a World of Ham, because for almost anyone to get over they need to be Chewing the Scenery. But if two great performers are in the ring, jumping off to attack each other from impossibly high places and smashing each other with every single "international" object they can find while still telling a great story through the match, and if some idiot named Vince doesn't write something unwatchable, the voice reminding you that the overacting is just covering for bad writing is going to be absolutely silent until that final bell rings, because you'll not only believe a man can fly, you'll also believe he'd use that power to defeat a humongous monster by flipping through the air and crashing through a table with the monster on it. | |

Princess: The Hopeful is a fan-made supplement for the New World of Darkness, whose entire premise is to throw cute, heroic Magical Girls in a Crapsack World based on Gothic Horror.

When the Hamilton cast performed "Yorktown" at the Tonys, they decided that due to the recent Pulse nightclub shooting they would remove all the prop guns from the number, meaning the cast was performing a number about a battle while miming having weapons. It should've been ridiculous, and yet somehow it actually managed to be incredibly poignant instead. | |

However, with the revelation that "Raven" was her human husband's last name, it's either heartwarming or saddening that, despite the man himself having died several centuries ago, she still identifies herself as his wife. | |

The intro used in Matt Santoro's videos like Pirates 4 FTW! is fast-paced and looks funny when the words "Matthew Santoro" show up on the screen in only a few seconds, but it fits the comedic tone of Matt's videos. | |

Well-written My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan fictions that deal with serious topics like murder or horror are often not only able to sincerely scare you and jerk some tears, but actually make you accept that it's taking place in a world of fuzzy little technicolor horses that run on adorableness. Prime examples are Fallout: Equestria which is every bit as desolate and dark as the source material and Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles) which intentionally uses the nature of the show to make the twist all the more horrifying. | |

When Todd in the Shadows took a look at Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" for One Hit Wonderland, he gave this speech about the secret behind "I'm Too Sexy" and how a song so boneheaded can achieve such massive success. He even uses a "Harlem Shake" video to punctuate his point. | |

The bits of comedy that MegaTokyo contains post-Cerebus Syndrome often slip into this. For example, in this strip, Ed is taunting and tormenting Ping with text messages while planning to kill her; meanwhile he strikes up a pleasant conversation with our favorite Cloudcuckoolander Largo and (among other things), complements him on his hat. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: One Cartoonist's Dream is a ridiculous crossover with enough effort and heart put into it to be genuinely entertaining. | |

Taker's most famous rival, Mick Foley He actually came up with a gimmick that invoked this trope: Dude Love. A Shawn Michaels ripoff (his finisher was called "Sweet Shin Music"), who dressed in tie-dye shirts, wore old-school sunglasses and spoke in corny lingo that would've been out of touch in 1969. It was an absurd, bush-league persona, and fans just loved Mick Foley that much more for it. Foley did it again with the creation of Mr. Socko. In the tough, manly world of pro wrestling, Mick managed to get a sock puppet over. |
