Where a work is made in an intentionally bad style. Some examples of this trope are In-Universe cases, where a Show Within a Show looks bad, while in other cases the entirety of the work is like this. The most conspicuous aspect of this is the dialog, in which one can expect the characters to speak in a stilted, mechanical tone for no apparent reason at all. Can often be So Bad, It's Good due to the hilariously bad nature of a lot of these works. A Super-Trope to: Bad "Bad Acting" ("bad" acting) Bad Impressionists ("bad" impressions) Chop Sockey ("bad" martial arts sequences) Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue" ("bad" writing with a "bad" main character) Hollywood Tone-Deaf ("bad" singing) Intentional Engrish for Funny ("bad" translations) Kitschy Local Commercial ("bad" local commercials) One-Joke Fake Show ("bad" comedy series) Our Slogan Is Terrible ("bad" business taglines) Pac Man Fever (technologically "bad" video games) Piss-Take Rap ("bad" raps) Playing Pictionary (It's bad enough that people mistake a drawing for something else) Randomly Reversed Letters ("bad" handwriting) Revenge via Storytelling ("bad" storytelling with a "bad" villain / antagonist) Soap Within a Show ("bad" soap operas) So Unfunny, It's Funny ("bad" jokes) Terrible Artist ("bad" drawing) Troll Fic ("bad" fanfiction) Ultra Super Death Gore Fest Chainsawer 3000/Ultra Super Happy Cute Baby Fest Farmer 3000 (thematically "bad" video games) For In-Universe examples, it's been suggested by various movie critics that this is done solely because it would be irritating to the viewer and humiliating to the writer if the story within was a lot more interesting than the story around it (though an enterprising author could release it as a spin-off, not unlike the real-life Radioactive Man comics), so they do what they can to kill it while retaining its purpose. |

Terrible Writing Advice relies heavily on this. As the name implies, the narrator will give intentionally bad advice and treat it as the best writing advice to give viewers, and any genuinely good advice he gives, he says is terrible on the grounds that it would be boring or take too much effort on the writer's part. | |

The opening of Gundam 00: A Wakening of the Trailblazer depicts a Movie Within A Movie that recreates the events of the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 TV series...as a hammy, Super Robot-esque affair that bears almost no resemblance to the actual show. Getting in on the gag, at least one fansub group gave the movie cheesy subtitles with different colored text for each character and several words left in Japanese with translation notes explaining what they mean and then saying there's no good English translation (a Take That! against a certain fansub group that does this un-ironically). | |

The Surfsiders were a group of studio musicians (persistent rumors say that a pre-VU Lou Reed was among them) hired in 1965 to rush out an album of Beach Boys covers to cash in on the Beach Boys' growing fame: said album was regarded as So Bad, It's Good among record collectors and Beach Boys fans due to the off-key barbershop harmonies, chintzy production, and arrangements that often sounded nothing like the originals. In 2012, a group calling themselves The New Surfsiders formed to parody the album by exaggerating the flaws of its performances and arrangements for comic effect, with a focus on covers from the True Art Is Angsty side of the Beach Boys catalog. The Surfsiders' album added the same saxophone riff in different keys to two different Beach Boys songs, so The New Surfsiders incorporate this same riff somewhere in every song as a Running Gag. The Surfsiders did an inappropriately cheery-sounding version of melancholy ballad "The Warmth Of The Sun", so The New Surfsiders did an uptempo, twist-style version of the even more melancholy ballad "Till I Die". The New Surfsiders' most ambitious piece was a medley of selections from SMiLE. | |

A Bug's Life has a scene that deliberately calls reference to the Midsummer play. The schoolchildren act out a play of how the "warriors" are supposed to fight the grasshoppers. Dot's final line in that play — "I die, die, die, die, die, DIE," complete with overblown acting — is taken directly from the end of the Midsummer play. | |

Both of Conrad Birdie's big performance numbers in Bye Bye Birdie, "Honestly Sincere" and "One Last Kiss," as well as "The Telephone Hour," are such obnoxiously (and brilliantly) simplistic and repetitive parodies of 1950's teenybopper pop ("Goin' steady! Goin' steady!") that people frequently forget how sophisticated and melodic the rest of the show is, lumping it in with pure camp shows like Grease. But "Honestly Sincere" isn't that bad of a song, and in The Movie it actually proves to be Awesome Music (causing every person in the square except Hugo Peabody to faint). |

Jordan's movie idea in House of Mystery. Not only is at a totally absurd Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot farrago, he keeps changing bits of it, and remembering things he forgot to say earlier. The art, meanwhile, plays along by showing exactly what he's saying at the time, even if this means everything has to change completely in the next panel. | |

Pretty much the entire "169th Friends Concert" in 20th Century Boys. Lampshaded by the protagonist. It's made even more obvious in the live-action movie adaptations, where you actually have to hear "Ai Rock Yuu" in all its horrific sucky glory. | |

"Over the Moon," Maureen's absurdly pretentious (even for performance art) one-woman show/protest in RENT. About half the audience thinks that the fact that most of the works of art we're shown (Mark's movie, Maureen's performance art, Roger's "In Your Eyes", Collins' "fighting the power" consisting mainly of breaking into ATMs and putting a virus on a college's computers) kind of suck is intentional, and that the play is making a point about fighting for even low quality art. The other half thinks that this was unintentional. It's best not to think about this too much. |

In Bleach, whenever Rukia uses her hand-made drawings to explain the spirit world and Hollows to Ichigo, they look as if they were done by a six year old. Ichigo never fails to point out how much her art style sucks. And usually gets hit because of it. Surprisingly, Ukitake, the captain of Rukia' division, likes her art style. Apparently, Rukia's adoptive brother Byakuya has a very similar art style, which is technically superior(his sand sculpture looks better-made than Rukia's) but stylistically just as weird. It's all the more surprising considering Byakuya's arrogant and humorless personality. | |

The plays within a play in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Pyramus and Thisbe) and Hamlet (The Murder of Gonzago) feature stiff and awkward (and, in the former case, outright silly) prose compared to the play proper. The former gets an additional nod for hilarity because it also was a Take That! against Macekre-style editing in order "Not to offend/frighten anyone". Pyramus and Thisbe was also the inspiration for Romeo and Juliet (which Shakespeare is believed to have written concurrently with Midsummer), and its interpretation in the play can be viewed as a parody of Shakespeare's own tragic version of the story. The Shakespearean stage directions also work with the stylistic suck of Pyramus and Thisbe; in Shakespeare's time, stage directions were woven into the dialogue (since, for example, they did not have the technology to raise and lower lights and change scenery for different times and places), and the scene setting in Pyramus and Thisbe all occurs long after it is meant to have happened, meaning the actors have to run around and generally look stupid to make up for it. Unlike Pyramus, Gonzago was played by a professional acting troupe. However, Hamlet's weaponising it in his desire to expose the king meant the play became a victim of Executive Meddling. A Bug's Life has a scene that deliberately calls reference to the Midsummer play. The schoolchildren act out a play of how the "warriors" are supposed to fight the grasshoppers. Dot's final line in that play — "I die, die, die, die, die, DIE," complete with overblown acting — is taken directly from the end of the Midsummer play. |

The Bonzo Dog Band: "Jazz, Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold" made fun of the band's roots in trad jazz. In order to play bad jazz on purpose, the band members swapped their instruments around and only recorded one take. Has to be heard to be properly appreciated. Not to mention the hilariously awful guitar solo on "Canyons of your Mind". Neil Innes has also used this trope deftly in his solo career, especially with the delightfully terrible "Protest Song." It's even better/worse on the Live at City Center album. |

In 1997, artist duo Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid once took a massive poll of Americans' taste in music, down to very specific criteria (what type of instruments were liked and disliked, what type of tempo, what type of lyrics, etc.). Using this data, they then decided to create the most statistically "wanted" and "unwanted" songs in America. The "Most Wanted Song" is a Glurgey R&B ballad that acutely reflects the spirit of the times. The "Most Unwanted Song", however, born from average Americans' distaste for musical elements as diverse as opera, cowboy songs, rap music (!!), accordions, tubas, commercial jingles, bagpipes, children's voices, abrupt changes in tempo, extreme length, and "intellectual stimulation", must be heard to be believed. Did we mention that it's over twenty minutes long? To put into perspective: this song features an opera singer rapping about cowboys and Ludwig Wittgenstein to the accompaniment of a drum machine, tuba, and bagpipes. Yes. | |

Lasagna Cat's adaptation of 12/04/1980 renders Garfield and Odie's fight as a filmed action scene of the sort that would be created by a pair of immature teenagers trying to look badass. Among other things, the whole fight happens in someone's backyard, the choreography is inept at best, and the effects work is clearly done in Windows Movie Maker, with blatant errors being left in. One version of it, uploaded to Garfield's in-universe channel, goes so far as to have visibly lower video quality, implying that the video has been poorly compressed in the process of being shared and uploaded. | |

The first episode of the anime for Barakamon spinoff Handa-kun begins with the Handa Force being shocked to learn that 1) there is a Handa-kun anime, and 2) they missed the first episode. They call the anime studio to get a copy but are ignored, so the Handa Force decides to make their own, running through a truckload of anime tropes before putting together their painfully bad Handa-kun anime. | |

The goat's music from The Goat Musician has a general vibe to it that goes all over the place with an incomprehensible mood to boot. That's not even mentioning the theme he used for his work, which is taken from a Russian folk song that ends with a goat getting eaten by a pack of wolves. The ending implies this is what happened to the goat musician as well after walking off with the wolf into the woods. | |

Faith No More's "Everything's Ruined" video, which was inspired by video booths at county fairs, and had the band miming in front of various Chroma Key Stock Footage — particularly funny moments have them "swimming" in front of an underwater backdrop, or fleeing from a giant tortoise. The band really didn't have much of a budget, having spent most of it on the other two videos for the album Angeldust, so they deliberately went for something as silly and cheap-looking as possible. | |

In Supergirl stories: In the mini Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, when a character is trapped in the second dimension, the art intentionally looks like children crayon doodles. Bizarrogirl: In Bizarro World, newspapers include children crayon doodles instead of pictures, fitting with the backwards nature of the Bizarros. |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978): In the second series, we hear the anthem of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, which in keeping with the company's ethos is sung by robots... a flattened fifth out of tune. After the song plays, out of key and with bizarre lyrics ending with "go stick your head in a pig", the Guide assures listeners that the actual anthem is worse. | |

X-Men Noir features a series of backups prose stories parodying old pulp sf stories. ("The Sentinels" by Bolivar Trask) Thomas Halloway reads them, and even uses them to interrogate Professor Xavier. Considering the style and subject this is almost certainly a reference to the Iron Dream mentioned below. (Ironically, Trask comes across as rather egalitarian by 1930s standards, in his story the "perfect race" is formed by combining racial characteristics, and the mutant underclass turns out to be misunderstood. This is also ironic when you consider that in the main Marvel universe, Bolivar Trask was the bigoted scientist behind the mutant-hunting Sentinel robots.) | |

Baby June/Dainty June's vaudeville numbers in Gypsy are intentionally written to be cloying, cliche-ridden and insipid, to show that while Mama Rose might be persistent and determined to succeed (through her daughters), she clearly lacks talent. It also underscores how hopeless her attempts are to force her daughters to succeed in a dying art form. The strippers who perform "You Gotta Get A Gimmick" are all deliberately bad singers to emphasise that they have "no talent" and are relying on their themes and gimmicks to impress the in-universe audience. |

WWE's revival of ECW began with the 2005 and 2006 ECW One Night Stand pay per views, both serving as ECW reunions. True to the original ECW, they were extremely lacking in the special effects and gigantic elaborate stages that WWE was known for. To add to this, it was held at one of ECW's old stomping grounds: the Hammerstein Ballroom, which is a tiny venue capable of seating capacity a mere 2,500, whereas most WWE PPVs are held in arenas that accommodate roughly 10,000note The first few weeks of Monday Night Raw in 1993 were filmed in the Grand Ballroom, which is located in the same building on the ground floor). In 2007, One Night Stand would entirely drop the ECW theme for good to become a standard WWE pay-per-view with extravagant production values and conventional matches in a much larger arena; Joey Styles remarked on camera that it seemed inappropriate. | |

Writer-artist Tom Scioli specializes in this, with his works (most famously Transformers vs. G.I.

Garfielf could easily be summed up as an experiment for how far into this trope can one go while still preserving Garfield's core jokes. The spelling and grammar is abysmal, Deranged Animation abounds, the dialogue is entirely text-to-speech and frequently jumps up and down in volume, the music is off-kilter and creepy, and the "narrative" is an entirely unstructured sequence of Running Gags with no clear punchlines and an Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist. | |

SPARKLE ON RAVEN is an Affectionate Parody of fanime that began in 2022, made to look like the kind of thing you'd see teenagers put together on YouTube in the late 2000s. The animation is drawn in MS Paint and rendered in 480p; the only colors used are the default palette, and there is occasionally visible anti-aliasing from use of the fill bucket tool. The voice acting is all over the place, and some actors have really bad microphone quality to the point of being nearly inaudible. Despite this, there are flashes of great animation and voice acting, which make it clear that the amateur quality is deliberately done out of love for the style. | |

GradeAUnderA's videos consist of two crude drawings made in MS Paint that talk about different issues and he edits them with Windows Movie Maker. Grade's said that he will stick to those programs because he doesn't want his videos to look too good. | |

Jon Lajoie is a legitimately good rapper, despite all his songs being comedic. His persona of MC Vagina, on the other hand, delivers nothing but Piss-Take Rap, with his nasally voice and lack of rhythm, droning out inept lyrics like "I buy a lot of expensive things because I have a lot of money" and "I'm invincible, like Bruce Willis in the movie Invincible/I'm invisible, like... well, I'm not really invisible." | |

Depending on who you ask, the music video for Journey's "Separate Ways" may have been this. Steve Perry notoriously hated the medium of music videos, dismissing the bands popularized by them as "fashion music." So, when their label told them "make one or else," they aimed to make one so terrible that the record company would never ask again. The song ended up becoming a hit instead. | |

One-Punch Man: Saitama's intentionally drawn like his artist had just phoned it in and scrawled a generic guy, in heavy contrast to the beautifully detailed art everyone else gets. This reflects the man's own bored, lackadaisical approach to just about everything, and is dropped whenever he starts getting serious, undergoing a one-man Art Shift to start matching the rest of the characters. On another level, Saitama's appearance provides a meta-context to his perception by other characters: he's regarded as a Ridiculously Average Guy and seldom noticed until he starts busting up the scenery. As such, he's drawn with the level of care an artist might give to a tiny background figure who is of no importance to the scene. Tatsumaki is possibly the only person who gets it worse than him. ONE draws her consistently in a sucky fashion in the original webcomic, with the highlight probably being her head growing out of the (pretty large) panel, and even Murata occasionally draws her as a midget. This fits her, given her personality. Most of ONE's work is like this, as both the original comics for One-Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 are drawn in a deliberately sloppy and amateurish style, allowing them to not only fit a much more comedic tone, but to make it much more impressive when the action and ONE's art get more serious. |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: Up until Chika teaches trains him to do so, Shirogane is pretty much this when it comes to his singing and rapping skills. Especially with his rapping skills up to the point it causes the listener to almost lose consciousness. In chapter 62, after Kaguya realizes that she drew her picture of Shirogane too pretty which would reveal her feelings for him, she then makes her picture as ugly as possible while keeping the physical traits that she likes about him to counterbalance it. It backfires on her every time, as even making Shirogane look like he went through a garbage compactor, she still finds him attractive. |

Sword Art Online Abridged: One of the main sources of humor comes from taking the design flaws present in the in-universe MMORPGs from the original series (stemming from Reki Kawahara's admitted inexperience with video games) and using them to portray the games as horribly designed invoked Obvious Betas. The titular Sword Art Online has a tedious-to-navigate interface with several nested drop-down menus, bland dungeons, repetitive quests like gathering 50 of a certain item, an unhelpful tutorial that doesn't tell players which button does what, a “seizure-inducing� crafting system that combines a rythym minigame with Space Invaders and a mecha-fighter, non-existent Player versus Player balancing that lets players become functionally invincible if they level up enough, a plethora of immersion-breaking ads that players have to pay $30 to get rid of, and glitches around every corner, including game-breaking ones and the “die in the game, die for real� that serves as the conflict of the season. Even from the back of the Alfheim Online box (or at least its left side) it's clear that it makes Sword Art Online look miles better by comparison. While not quite the broken mess its predecessor was, it does have the sense of being slapped together with as little effort as possible, what with a confused marketing scheme that seems to want you to make it think it's an Edutainment Game and an aerial combat simulator, a patronizing tutorial that quickly annoys Kirito beyond all reason, insultingly easy math problems like “2 + 2�, drugs as usable items despite trying to teach that Drugs Are Bad, a toxic roleplaying community that takes everything way too seriously (ran by a group of people who let their personal issues bleed into the game), and uPlay being the provider of services, much to Kirito's horror. |

Rozen Maiden: Rozen Maiden features a puppet crime show with anthropomorphic animals and plots vaguely inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, Detective Kun-Kun, which is quite unexceptional and bland (complete with exaggerated acting, stiff, low-budget puppets, weak twists), yet all the dolls living in Jun's house are enthralled by it, screaming to warn the character of traps or betrayal, and genuinely shivering when a "scary" scene is happening, to the point of having Shinku in love with the title character, a pipe-smoking dog dressed as Sherlock Holmes (Jun even uses it to win an argument); yet this might also be to show that despite their age and occasional wisdom they all are little girls, and react as such, to tone down the many creepy and downer moments of the series. The Detective Kun-Kun OVA presents an episode of the television show from the point of view of the Rozen Maiden dolls watching it: as a theatrical masterpiece complete with red curtain. |

V for Vendetta contains many references to the fictional show Storm Saxon — a misogynistic, racist and homophobic action/adventure series, as well as the opinion news show "Voice of Fate" (which was eerily prescient of Bill O'Reilly). The filmmakers appear to agree with that last point, since he's a clear parody of Bill in the film. | |

Gintama: In episode 183, the opening is redone to look as though it was drawn in MS Paint after an in-universe example of Died During Production leaves the show without an animator. There's also an episode where Gin and a prison inmate (from a previous arc) attempt to create a shounen manga but basically end up with a mix of super saiyan style shoulder pads, a Chage Note and blatant harem cliches. Plus rough children's illustrations. It doesn't even make sense in context. |

Sonic: Mega Drive involves this at one point during the first issue. After Knuckles is defeated, he demands that Sonic hand the Chaos Emeralds over, and tells Sonic that Eggman told Knuckles everything. This results in a flashback which has crayon drawings of Knuckles being tricked by Eggman. There is a good reason for this; Tyson Hesse came up with that idea while he was in the shower in the morning before the page was due. | |

After H&M created a line of clothing bearing the logos of fake metal bands just to look cool, Henri Sorvali of Finntroll and Moonsorrow decided to create some bands to fit the logos. He went the extra mile with trolling H&M and got others in the Scandinavian metal scene to record songs for each of the fake bands, and post them on YouTube. They made sure to make the songs as awful and/or offensive as possible. | |

Almost the entire premise of Disaster Labs' Arfenhouse series of RPGs and cartoons. Disaster Labs' related parody cartoon, 8-Bitch Fyve, is crammed so full of deliberate badness (including garbled audio and video, Bad "Bad Acting", Instant Message windows cluttering up the background, and two characters stealing each other's parts every other word) as to be almost unwatchable. |

ZXInsanity et al's parody series of the Equestria Girls movies, known as EQUESTRIA GIRLS (capitalization intentional), is full of this. Characters are animated as if invisible hands are manipulating dolls... which is fitting considering the actual purpose of Equestria Girls. The main characters are all low resolution model poses from the very first batch of leaked images. All other characters are fanmade vectors (the art quality of most of them is poor). Everything else is stock clipart. Facial expressions are either nonexistent or obviously edited in MS Paint. And all the voices are computer-generated text-to-speech programs, mostly from GoAnimate. | |

Invincible: Subverted with Science Dog, the comic that Mark is a huge fan of that forms a major Running Gag as we hear various out-of-context snippets about it. Between it's superficially goofy premise (a dog gets mutated into a genius scientist and superhero) and the bizarre anecdotes Mark tells about it, you're led to believe that it's an Affectionate Parody of So Bad, It's Good Silver Age Weird Science comics full of schlock and camp. Then you actually get to read an issue of it in the form of a back-up story and instead it turns out be really good, pretty much on the same level of quality as the main comic, and you realize just why Mark likes it so much. Notably, despite prior conversations about Science Dog implying it was a fluffy action affair, the issue we're shown is an intelligent, emotional drama and character study. | |

An episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! features this hilarious Amateur Film-Making Plot where Dedede tries to make an anime, recruiting more or less the entire cast to do the work. Between Executive Meddling, a ridiculously tight schedule and a low budget, and most of the staff having no idea what they're doing (especially Kirby), it starts out as a parody of the show itself and gets very steadily worse. And funnier.note Even in the original Japanese version. | |

Red vs. Blue: The Lopez love song, which The Blues perform and broadcast to force the Reds to shut of their Radios. According to Sarge, "It sounds like the feral cry of a retarded Mexican sasquatch!" Lopez in general is a good example—he can only speak Spanish, but it's terrible Spanish. By all accounts, this is entirely intentional by his voice actor, Burnie. Another example are the deliberately terrible special effects in the machinima portions for the sake of comedy, where various objects have quite obviously been added in after the fact. Of special note is that certain additions (Donut's housewarming gift, the pile of stuff Blue Team won from the Reds, etc.) originally looked too good and had to be made worse! |

James Roberts and John Barber’s Transformers run has various in-universe films and shows, all of which do this in their own unique way: One issue involves Rewind making a documentary about the Lost Light crew titled “Little Victories�. It’s competently edited, but also terrible at advertising what it was supposed to and seems to spend an inordinate amount of time portraying the crew as a bunch of losers. It’s also gets butchered in post-production, as Ultra Magnus uses his authority to edit out scenes that made him look bad. Thundercracker is an aspiring writer and we’re often given snippets of his work. They’re almost invariably terrible, with incredibly stilted dialogue, rampant Purple Prose, and heavy-handed exposition, not helped by the characters repeatedly emphasising that they're humans from Earth. His works include a Christmas story aimed at kids that's an awkward mashup of a noir detective story and an action movie and a hospital romance featuring a character named "Josh Boyfriend" who's "handsome like an F-15 fighter". We see a former Decepticon named Skullcruncher who’s become a stand-up comedian after the war ended; his routine is decent, but also makes very little sense if you don’t understand the references and he has a tendency to stutter and ramble on-stage. An old film called “The Birth Of Cybertron� is repeatedly brought up; it's pretty well-made as filmmaking, but is also super racist by modern standards and was very obviously written as a propaganda piece for Cybertron’s then-current government. The above-mentioned Thundercracker is later commissioned to make a Biopic about Starscream’s life. By this point Thundercracker’s writing has improved... kind of. The dialogue is slightly less stilted and he actually does research to make the film accurate, but that’s about it. The rest of production is a nightmare; the film goes through numerous rewrites, is horribly miscast, the lead actor walks out mid-filming, the special effects are cheap, stock footage of an actual riot is used to avoid spending money on recreating it, and Thundercracker’s personal biases frequently shine through in the writing. His follow-up, based on the story of GI Joe operative Chuckles, does seem to be a bit better regarded though. We don't get to read any of Ultra Magnus's sprinkler fanfiction in The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, but the fact that main character "Sprinklor" is "very by-the-book, very rule-driven" indicates that at minimum a certain amount of self-insertion might be going on. Finally, the first Cybertronian-made movie to be shown on Earth is “Dark Invasion�, a film made by Rumble and Frenzy. It’s a brainless, tasteless, and explosion-filled action movie that is so terrible, it kills any audience interest in Cybertronian filmmaking. |

Balenaproductions's Sonic Zombie series, a Garry's Mod-made video set about Sonic and friends fighting zombies, has this trope all over. Loads of Special Effect Failures (the gun used to move objects around is visible in several scenes, characters don't walk so much as get dragged, the interface is visible multiple times, and at once point the in-universe maker has to actually spawn some tacos because he forgot to do so earlier), the plot's loaded with Giant Space Fleas From Nowhere, the final villain of the third part is a dragon-thing that's supposed to be Satan who sounds like a stoner, everyone has an exaggerated, OOC personality, and Wreck-It Ralph appears out of nowhere just to die in the "origins" story. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury features an in-universe student film advertisement that Earth House made for GUND-ARM Inc. and it… well, it looks about how you'd expect for something made by a bunch of high school students with no filmmaking experience whatsoever. It features a strange, off-key choir song performed by the class as music, Suletta can't act to save her life and moves really awkwardly (clearly taking great effort to hit her marks), the footage is very obviously edited together from different takes because Suletta couldn't do her whole routine in one go despite the video only being about thirty seconds long, a goat wanders into frame repeatedly, the audio is poorly edited, and Ariel is badly green-screened into the shot, with her movements being wildly out of sync with Suletta and the rest of the video. | |

SOPHIE, an associate to PC Music acts above, has a similar-sounding take on pop music, which occasionally plays up 2000's-era radio and bubblegum pop clichés, with heavy emphasis on synthesizers and vapid, repetitive and unspecific lyrics (a good example being "JUST LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE"). The end result ends up so exaggeratedly polished and artificial that it ends up sounding surreal and almost kind of creepy. | |

In the Pony POV Series, General-Admiral Makarov, the Big Bad of the Shining Armor Arc, has a Villain Song simply called "Makarov". According to the song writer, it was intentionally written worse than his normal work, being more of a straight rip-off of the song it was based on as opposed to his other works, to reflect the fact Makarov is a Parody Sue who has next to no imagination of his own. In-Universe, Shining Armor zones out part way through because of how bad it is, resulting in only part of the song being used in the story. | |

Dark Simpsons has their subset of videos titled the "Seamless Cut" which intentionally forgo trying to make edited scenes from The Simpsons fit together, named after a scene in the Simpsons episode "Radioactive Man", where the editor of the "Radioactive Man" movie humorously fails to put together the movie after one of its stars, Milhouse, ran away. A usual "Seamless Cut" will feature transitions between clips of wildly varying animation quality, with locations shifting and characters changing clothes from shot to shot. For instance, one video involving Krusty cuts from a completely ordinary shot of him, to a shot of the deliberately poorly-drawn version from "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular", to a regular Krusty wearing a graduation uniform, to Krusty in regular clothes but on a TV screen and riding a tiny bicycle, to the one-foot-tall evil Krusty doll from "Treehouse of Horror III", all in the same scene, with the background being consistent in precisely none of them. | |

One Blue Seed omake is a parody of old monster movie trailers. The English dub arguably makes it funnier by having improperly emoted voice acting that doesn't always match up with the lip movements as a nod to the earliest dubbing attempts of anime. | |

The online record label PC Music has stylistic suck down to an art. The label's head, A. G. Cook, has said in interviews that he particularly enjoys "recording people who don't normally make music and treating them as if they're a major label artist." Cheesy electro-pop fun ensues. Producer "kane west" (not to be confused with that other guy; he's actually Gus Lobban, one of the members of pop trio Kero Kero Bonito) probably revels in this trope the most out of the PC Music crew, using extremely basic MIDI instruments to make crude, clunky house tracks. Even his imagery is cheap, with the cover of his "Western Beats" EP being black text on a white background of his name. In Comic Sans. Polly-Louisa Salmon, aka GFOTY ("Girlfriend of the Year") goes in the opposite direction; while taking cues from typical mainstream club and pop music, she dials their ugliest, most vulgar and hedonistic traits up, sometimes sounding punk-inspired, and sometimes to the point of Fan Disservice. This even extends to her general image outside the music. |

The manga and some supplementary materials for Hatoful Boyfriend have Anghel's manga clearly made with more enthusiasm than skill and are in a much more scribbly style than the rest of the manga. Ryouta says there's a high stroke count and he respects Anghel, but Anghel can't get anyone very interested in his stuff; an editor says there might be something there but it lacks an "adult feel". | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: On the rare occasions that comics are portrayed, it will be in a very crude and deformed style that makes it clear the reader is looking at a comic-within-a-comic. The anime even used this style for the ending credits of the Oingo Boingo episode and then for the Boingo and Hol Horse one. The Duwang Gag Fansub of the 2012 anime evokes this, drawing inspiration from the Translation Train Wreck of a scanlation of Diamond Is Unbreakable. |

In FoxTrot, Roger once wrote a spy novel with a Marty Stu self-insert as the lead character. One week of strips consists of hilariously-bad quotes and over-the-top scenes, plus his wife's reaction to the same (for instance, a Big "NO!" when the character is faced with a Wire Dilemma involving 173 wires and cuts the right one). It's even funnier when one realizes that his wife is (ostensibly) a professional writer. | |

Critical Role: Percy's homemade guns are described extensively, as Taliesin, the person playing him, is very knowledgeable about firearms, and with each new gun design must prove to the Dungeon Master that he can create a working firearm with the tools and materials he would have access to in a medieval fantasy world. When a fan pointed out to him that several of his guns had design flaws that would make them near-impossible to use without destroying them in the process, Taliesin clarified that that was completely on purpose — Percy is the first person in his world to have ever built, let alone used a firearm, and given that he's a twenty-something aristocrat with severe PTSD and a pact with a murderous revenge demon very intrinsically tied to his pepperbox pistol, going back to remove all the Awesome, but Impractical features would not be very high on his priority list. And his guns do, in fact, very frequently break during normal use. | |

There is one Team Fortress 2 animation called "Every TF2 Animation You've Ever Seen" meant to throw a jab at overused cliches in Team Fortress 2 videos, with a lot of the animation quality of the characters being wooden and using derivative jokes that many would already be familiar with (the always familiar sentry-sapping, for example). All of this, however, is meant to hide the creepier elements seen later in the video. | |

Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. does this relative to a lot of other anime focusing on a Fictional Video Game. Much of the comedy focuses on the fact that New World Online, while undoubtedly high-tech, is kind of a mess, with terrible balance, massive design flaws, and laughably easy-to-activate exploits. In fact, the inciting incident of the series is the main character doing what the title says and only putting her skill points into defense, managing to stumble across a Game-Breaker build largely by accident, and then doing so repeatedly, as every time the devs try futilely to patch it out, she just stumbles across another ridiculous exploit. | |

The Human League's "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" is intentionally like this, being a parody of the new wave genre. This is why the synth sound is out of tune, and the happy mood of the song is in huge contrast with most of their music. Presumably because most people didn't get the joke, they left it off their album Hysteria (although it was included on a Fascination! EP of non album material) | |

The Stephen Glass scandal, dramatized in Shattered Glass, got subject to this. In trying to cover the tracks to hide evidence of fabrication in his "Hack Heaven" piece, Glass created an amateur AOL webpage and tried to pass it off as the official site of the fictitious "Jukt Micronics". The movie ended up using the actual page Glass created in real life,◊ as no Hollywood exaggeration of its ineptitude was needed. Even though the scandal broke in the relatively early days of businesses adopting the Internet as a tool, even by those standards it was still bad; Adam Penenberg, one of the Forbes Digital reporters who was responsible for first exposing Glass's fabrication — and someone who would know a little something about the Internet back then — was incredulous that this could be the website of a supposedly big-time software company. | |

Frequent in Shuukan Shounen Hachi: since a good chunk of the series focuses on aspiring mangaka with below-average skills, some in-universe characters are drawn with awkward or simplistic designs − especially those drawn by Hachi. Inverted with characters drawn by Mikeya or Handa, who have very stylish and sophisticated looks that nonetheless look nothing like Masuda's own style. | |

Paul Hindemith arranged the overture for Richard Wagner's The Flying Dutchman for string quartet in 1925... except the string quartet he had in mind was an unskilled spa quartet sight reading the work by the village well at 7am. The results are comically terrible, with the four musicians frequently playing wrong notes or glossing over passages that are too difficult, entering late or early or otherwise getting out of time with each other, and, near the end, sliding off into Émile Waldteufel's Les Patineurs waltz for a page or so (and doing a much better job of it than they were of the Wagner!). | |

Nui's introduction and fights with the Elite Four in Kill la Kill feature lots of intentionally cardboard animation, with Nui and her opponents frequently being reduced to single frames being moved and rotated around the screen, both to add to Nui's creepy nature and to accentuate just how utterly trivial she considers fighting the Elite Four to be. | |

Queen: According to Rick Rubin, the 1991 remix of "We Will Rock You" was deliberately made as ridiculous as possible, hence why the subtitle says that it was "ruined by" him. Among other things, the song features slapped-on Hip-Hop beats, an intro where a crackly needle drop of the 1977 mix is cut off by a Record Needle Scratch, a distant-sounding air raid siren sound effect looping in the background for two full minutes, a breakdown that consists predominantly of a looped sample of James Brown shouting "tramp," and an outro where a goofy, growling voice shouts "this stuff is really fresh!" Rubin stated that he took such an approach specifically to protest the idea of remixing classic songs, considering the original version of this one "a perfect record." | |

The Bolt Chronicles: invoked Applies In-Universe to the porn fanfic referenced in "The Cameo," described as "featuring some of the most overripe prose since Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s heyday." The few oblique references made to the writing fully support this.

Ninja Slayer is an Affectionate Parody of ultraviolent 90s Cyberpunk anime like Genocyber, with over-the-top fight scenes, a threadbare plot that exists purely to justify ninjas slaughtering each other, cartoonish amounts of gore, and loads of Fan Disservice. The anime is a Compressed Adaptation that relegates entire plotlines to a crappy Clip Show and has hilariously inconsistent animation, swinging wildly between obnoxious over-animation and sliding animation cells around to replicate fighting. | |

Ducktalez is a series of Flash movies parodying DuckTales (1987). The first episode was released in 2003, and in the time between that and the latest episode in 2013, the designs for the Ducktales characters have remained just as terrible (aside from being made into 3D in later episodes) in a self-referential parody of itself. It utilizes the same amateurish, static character designs for the DuckTales (1987) characters from the first episode through the seventh, which stands out compared to other characters like Vegeta, who, by episode 7, were animated in professional-looking CG. | |

Homestar Runner: The website hosts several "Powered by The Cheat" cartoons, which are badly-drawn, badly-voice-acted, and badly-animated Flash cartoons made by The Cheat, many of which feature other characters randomly heaping praise on him. "Dangeresque" is a Show Within a Show created by Strong Bad. It's a series of home-made action movies about the eponymous Cowboy Cop, Dangeresque, that are rife with bad acting, clumsy editing, and crude cardboard sets and props. Teen Girl Squad was also meant to be this, but became unexpectedly popular on its own merits and became a regular feature of the site. The creators also made a website for imaginary game company Videlectrix. Almost all their games are based on the most repetitive or unplayably dull gaming styles of the 1980s. Despite this, some of them are legitimately fun. Strong Bad's personal website (revealed in, of course, "website") is a pitch-perfect parody of old Geocities webpages — the formatting is bad, there's an overlong Flash intro, and most of the site is just random looping gifs and pictures of his pet. Strong Bad himself admits that he didn't have any reason for making one; he just felt he should have one and then made it about The Cheat for lack of a better idea. However, it's at least a few tiers above Homestar's personal website, which consists entirely of a repeating background of a Homestar picture run through several Photoshop filters, a broken piece of formatting for a title, and the words "helscome my wedsite. its not done. this page is best viewed using Nedscape 1.0 or lower" |

Parody animator Roger van der Weide, creator of Kingdumb Hearts and numerous Sonic the Hedgehog parodies, like the Sonic In X Minutes series, animates pretty much all his videos in the same limited style, often accompanied by squeaky, high-pitched voices. Some of his earlier videos actually state in the loading screen that they're supposed to look terrible. Roger actually manages to invoke this in the last minute or so of Lost World in ??? minutes? as a subtle Take That! to the game's clearly rushed ending. |

"The Midas Touch" from Bells Are Ringing is a rather bad nightclub song written by dentist Joe Kitchell. (This character was fictional, but the notion of a dentist moonlighting as a songwriter was not. A week after Bells Are Ringing opened on Broadway in 1956, the Ethel Merman vehicle Happy Hunting opened; its widely-panned score was composed by a Real Life dentist named Harold Karr.) | |

Empowered has a section in the first volume where Emp, currently in a rough patch with her boyfriend, decides to work one out with various fanfictions she's found about the Superhomeys. They're uniformly terrible, with a massive amount of Mills and Boon Prose, baffling character writing, and some very weird choices in general—at one point, Emp snarks that she didn't realize "nubile" had an adverbial form. The fact that she's willing to read this kind of terrible smut prompts Ninjette to note that she should probably just make up with her boyfriend. | |

The "Guardians Inferno" music video slavishly follows the visual codes of '70s television, including laughable "aliens" and "spacemen" costumes, painfully obvious Chroma Key and other crappy special effects, over-the-top shots and camera moves, etc. Seriously, it's so "bad" in a well-done way and faithful to the tropes of the times, without knowing the context it's almost impossible to guess it's not a 40-year-old music video. | |

Two words: Orange Cassidy. His entire schtick is that he's the laziest wrestler on the planet, regularly doing moves with his sunglasses on and hands in his pockets, while delivering the slowest chops and kicks which the wrestlers taking them almost always No-Sell (and when they don't, it's usually also because of this trope). Meanwhile, the audience and announcers hype it up as if it were Daniel Bryan or Kenta Kobashi delivering them, or as if the career of the one taking it was in jeopardy. Which makes it all the more shocking when Cassidy suddenly starts breaking out actual wrestling moves. This also extends to his entrance, where his titantron video is just his name written in sharpie on a blank white background and his pyro is an uncoordinated sputter of smoke, and even his merchandise, which consists of a plain white t-shirt with only an uncropped photo of himself printed on it. |

Mick Foley as Dude Love. To drive home how different this persona was from Mankind and Cactus Jack, Foley would make his performances as Dude Love as boring as he could. One way included repeatedly putting his opponent into headlock after headlock after headlock. Dude Love's TitanTron was a perfect example of So Bad, It's Good, and it was entirely intentional. Likewise, when he became an anti-hardcore heel in ECW, he quickly realized that he wasn't getting the desired response by preaching against hardcore-style wrestling while still wrestling in said style. So he dropped everything exciting from his moveset and started doing nothing but boring headlocks. Soon, ECW fans were booing him out of the building. |

Genshiken's Show Within a Show, Kujibiki♡Unbalance, was intended to be like this, an intentional Cliché Storm that contained every absurdity ever to appear in manga and anime (particularly cliches related to the Moe boom of the early-to-mid 2000s, which Genshiken was first published). A few episodes of the show were included as extras on the Genshiken anime's DVD release, and real viewers loved it so much it became a real, full length series. The TV series diverges quite a bit from the one within Genshiken, both in art style and in plot. | |

Megalo Box is a subtle example — while the animation itself is high-quality, the whole thing has been post-processed to make it resemble a decades-old anime that was upscaled from a lower resolution. This technically makes it look worse, but evokes nostalgia for the classic fighting anime it's based on. | |

"Don Juan Triumphant", the opera that the The Phantom of the Opera writes and extorts into production in the Andrew Lloyd-Webber production, is hideously overwrought and cliched even by the standards of opera. All three of the "operas" within the show (the other two being the Meyerbeer-esque "Hannibal" and the opera buffa pastiche "Il Muto") would count here. |

In You and Me, the boys try to make an amateur manga for a club activity. They each draw a page and the quality keeps on changing throughout the story. One of the twins draws a very good adventurous page, while his brother made the knight wear a t-shirt and jeans because his costume was too complicated and killed off the other two characters. Shun's page is very shoujo-esque with huge eyes which the others mock, and he inexplicably introduces a love interest. Chizuru just right out changes the genre from a fantasy to a school drama, blatantly self inserts himself and his crush as the main characters, and has them randomly get married. Kaname's art skills are just so bad that the others can't even focus on the sappy ending where they have a kid. | |

The animations by bob from Weebl & Bob feature extremely crude art and a reliance on Surreal Humor. | |
