The Agony Booth (named after a torture device from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Mirror, Mirror") was a website that specialized in posting recap-cum-MST entries on So Bad, It's Good movies and TV shows.At the start, the site was primarily run by older professionals (their ranks included computer programmers, teachers, lawyers, soldiers, etc.) who maintained a house style based around thoughtful criticisms of technical and storytelling faults as well as less tangible qualities. They were willing to mock anything as long as they could back their critique up. As such, the Booth tended to have a "nothing is sacred" policy. They also had a tendency to use Troper terminology. The forums had a reputation for exclusivity; the list of rules (and rationales for banning) was long and detailed, and intelligent argument on a par with the house style was expected whether for or against the subject in question.Starting in The New '10s, the site began to drift away from its roots and revamped itself as a Channel Awesome-style pop culture video essay site. They also locked most of their older written content behind a Patreon paywall and merged with Happy Nice Time People, a like-minded site that also specialized in TV recaps.

Overly Narrow Superlative: "Swamp Thing is quite simply the best damn movie about a swamp creature fighting a sort of fake-looking wild boar/gator hybrid that used to be a French guy while Adrienne Barbeau and her cleavage watch anxiously." Mendo hypothesizes that there must be a "super obscure Navajo fanbase for white lesbian porn that I'm not aware of..."

Mythology Gag

comment
Mythology Gag: In Renegado's Halloween special, Full of Questions kills Mendo while in vampire form. In her next episode, Mendo's disembodied form caused her to take a drill bit to her head. In that same episode, he announced his return from his hiatus, which debuted three days later, and featured both Full of Questions AND Renegado. He wasn't happy to see them. In the That 70's Girl review, it's revealed that Mendo "blows a homeless guy" for porn. Three episodes later, we learn said homeless guy is the one who informed Mendo that Equestria Girls was out on DVD. Also, that homeless guy is actually Horror Guru.

Even Evil Has Standards: Mr. Mendo may eat puppies, but even he feels bad about forcing Fear Fan to watch Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS and Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom about twenty times each. Conversely, they determine that, while Salo may be the more disturbing film, it still claims the moral high ground over Ilsa, since at least Salo isn't intended to be titilating.

Broken Aesop: As Mr. Mendo points out, Forrest Gump teaches us that one man can make a difference, as long as he never thinks or makes a decision for himself. Or, on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: "Do you really buy that this movie is about Scott gaining self-respect, or do you wonder when we were supposed to notice that he had no self-respect, before or after hooking up with three hot chicks and fighting and obliterating six people?" Ryan's review of "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" points out that Rainbow Dash's friends were trying to teach her a lesson about humility, but this is undermined by the scene where they praise their own accomplishments as Mare Do Well, including boasting about how humble she is.

Blatant Lies
 The Agony Booth (Website) / int_40bb59d0
comment
Blatant Lies: In Ryan's Lost reviews (most of which have since been deleted) he frequently claimed the Man in Black wasn't a villain and just wanted to get off the island, claiming anything he does that seems evil was an Out-of-Character Moment to artificially paint him as the bad guy. This is despite the fact that he was consistently murdering innocent people as the smoke monster throughout the entire show, starting with him ripping the plane's pilot apart in the very first episode. His review for the episode "Left Behind" shows a clip where Kate's mother admits that she couldn’t help loving her husband (who she turned Kate in for murdering) despite him being abusive. He claims the intended moral of this scene is “women in abusive relationships are happy and deserve what they’re getting� despite the episode never coming close to saying that and clearly portraying her as wrong for choosing her abuser over her daughter. In his review of "The Other Woman" he claims Ben ordered toxic gas released at the Tempest to kill everyone on the island. The dialogue in the episode makes it clear that Charlotte and Faraday were only disabling the Tempest as a precaution in case Ben tried it later. There was also no way Ben could have given such an order since he was being held prisoner by Locke at the time. He also claims Ben is lying when he says the people on the freighter are dangerous, despite this being disproven several episodes later. He even repeats this claim in the same episode where Keamy and his men arrive on the island and start killing people, without addressing the discrepancy.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Comparing the early recap-plus-snark (with rare, off-center images) of fairly obscure terrible movies, to the later work, with both Agonizer analysis and recaps which go from box office bombs to divisive work (with frequent, large images) is jarring. And then there's the video reviews...

Or in the crossover review of Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, much was made of the copious amounts of fanservice, particularly from Sofie...while lying in bed in a slinky black dress.

Accentuate the Negative
 The Agony Booth (Website) / int_a70f9aba
comment
Accentuate the Negative: Sometimes they recognize a few things are well-done, but that's not why they're recapping the movies. This is a frequent problem in Ryan Lohner's video review series for Lost, with a number of characters having their more negative moments severely Flanderized with any redeeming moments being ignored or portrayed in the worst possible light. The most notable examples are Locke, who is portrayed as an egotistical cult leader who brainwashes and attacks anyone who questions him, and Charlie, who's portrayed as an unlikable psychopath who constantly makes annoying comments. Averted with Cecil Trachenburg; the movies he does are ones he thinks Need More Love or are So Bad They're Good.

Double Standard: In Ryan's Lost reviews, he often complains about the show's abundance of Obviously Evil characters who he sees as strawmen being used to make one of the main characters look better by comparison. However, whenever the show attempts to make a villain morally complex, such as Ben Linus and the Others, Ryan complains that they shouldn't be portrayed as anything but pure villains. Also his reviews in general contain frequent pop-culture references, some of them very obscure, but he regularly criticizes other works for making similar references, saying they're only doing it to sound smart.

Accent Relapse: Renegado has an accent, since English is his second language, but sometimes it gets REALLY thick, especially when he mispronounces words(for example, he pronounces "chemistry" as sheh-mees-tree and "available" as a-bah-ee-lah-ble). It's part of his charm, though.

Cool and Unusual Punishment: When Mr. Mendo forwards a bunch of his hate mail to the Film Renegado's site, Renegado forces him to watch Atletico San Pancho. And, when that doesn't work, he starts playing Menudo!

Running Gag
 The Agony Booth (Website) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Frequent in the individual recaps, and a few (including the Overlords of the UFO & Mr. T's guest explanations) that cross over. The TV series recaps are much more prone to ongoing gags. Albert's Degrassi recaps are typical: The Girls' Bathroom of Ill Repute and the Boys' Bathroom of Neutral Repute. Albert's ongoing frustration at Yick and Arthur's B (and sometimes C) plots. Joey (Insert Letter Here) Jermiah, the (X) stands for (Blank). Nicknames for the characters: Loosey, Astrodog, Rockin' Rompin' Raditch and Sweet Caitlin Ryan. Stephanie Kaye is also frequently compared to Nixon. The recap of Casino Royale (1967) makes frequent jokes about Woody Allen's marriage to Soon-Yi Previn.

Buffy Speak: This episode of MMHA: "But really, that was a good movie, and this film and a good one are as dissimilar as two completely dissimilar things...in a bag." From Japanese Hell: "When I think of America, I think of Encino Man. I mean, is there a more patriotic film? It's a movie that shows that no matter what your background is, people will accept you! I mean, sure, it's not perfect, I mean, there are times when you just want to weaz the ju-uice, and they're like, 'Dude, need fundage, bro.' And yes, sometimes we spend a little too much time trying to edge some nug with nice cones to really focus on our problems, but America is a country that would never bag on a bro just 'cause he gets a little crus-ty!"
