Bad, Bad, Bad - The Worst Thing You've Ever Watched

[pzkpfw]

Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job..
it is the worst thing to ever be put on tv- it's somehow even worse than their first show on Adult Swim, the title of which i can't remember right now and really don't care enough to google it..

They recently started showing that on our version of the Comedy Channel.

Pushed it really hard in the advertising, so I watched it and was totally mystified. Not at all funny. Awful even. I think I could see what they were "going for" - but they didn't get there.

(Having said that, the ads for Saturday Night Live always make it seem good and apparently it's popular in the states (we've also only recently started getting SNL here), but any time I ever watch it I react the same as with T & E.)

SNL has been good. It is not, currently. It's the hazard of a show which lasts that long.

Yep. The original SNL team was great. There have been a couple of other groups since then that were pretty good, but I haven't watched it (aside from an occasional skit) for a decade.

Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job..

Sometimes I'll leave the TV on while I'm working on the computer. That show is so bad that, if I hear it in the background, I go over to change the channel (or turn it off).

[KaiYeves]

Kai, ever seen Moonraker?

Not yet, I'm trying to look at original stories with the shuttle in them before I get to franchises, just because franchises come with their own continuity and things the viewer is expected to know.

[ABR.]

You guys who are saying there were sequels to Highlander are funny. Everybody knows there were no sequels to that movie, just like there were no sequels to The Matrix.

Isn't it odd that so many people believe there were sequels to Highlander and a Star Trek V? Now what is this Matrix you speak of?

[Romanus]

Oh, Deadliest Warrior isn't that bad.

My votes, for categories I just made up. It will be immediately apparent that I have a yen for comedies, even ones that turn out to be utterly humorless:

Worst show currently polluting the networks: Jersey Shore.
Worst past show: Oddville.*
Worst Adult Swim show: **** McGee.**

Worst movie I've seen this year: Extreme Movie.
Worst movie I saw last decade: Dirty Love.
The sooner I never see it again, the better it'll be the next time I see it: The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.

Honorable mention: The Stupids, Corky Romano.



*Yes, I see the connection.
**Look it up.

[SkepticJ]

Honorable mention: The Stupids . . .

Huh. Just checked The Stupids IMDb rating, and it's abysmal.

I actually enjoyed it, though not as much as RocketMan, which has some pretty witty humor, and also appeals on some puerile level I never lost.

It's a James Bond movie, there is no continuity.

[TheOncomingStorm]

Worst Highlander movie ever was Highlander:The Source. It had visions also it planets aligning at a magical time. It was so bad I forgot the plot and name until I looked it up on Wikipedia.

[publiusr]

The Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job did at least have Fred Willard on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Willard
I would have given him his own show myself.

Nova: It was called "Tom goes to the Mayor" IT was beyond awful...even for Adult Swim!

Worse Movie I've Seen: Jaws 4 (aka Jaws the Revenge)

(bet you didn't know there was a Jaws 3 for that matter)


Worst Movie Marathon: Jaws 1 to 4 in one sitting (arghh, from great to terrible in 4 easy steps)

(my wife likes shark movies)

Here's a snip from a great review:

Astoundingly horrible only scratches the surface of what can be considered no less than a masterpiece of lapsed logic and catastrophic film-making, even failing on the front of being overblown enough to make a suitable unintentional comedy. While the film's atrocious quality is hardly a surprise, it still boggles the mind simply how bad an outcome it was possible to achieve. In fact, the film's laughably ludicrous tagline "This time it's personal" could well apply to the audiences watching the film: this time the franchise is not only resoundingly poor, but a personal insult to every last viewer unfortunate enough to find themselves watching it.

[redshifter]

I saw the movie Laserblast w/o the MST3K treatment. Truly dreadful. Not too bad as an MST3K vehicle though...I also disregard any MST3K movie as 'bad'. Otherwise I'd have to add such gems as The Girl in Gold Boots, The Giant Spider Invasion, The Thing That Wouldn't Die, The Final Sacrifice, Zombie Nightmare and other masterpeices.

Worse Movie I've Seen: Jaws 4 (aka Jaws the Revenge)

I'd forgotten that one. Yeah, that was pretty horrid.

(bet you didn't know there was a Jaws 3 for that matter)

Jaws 3(D)? Yeah. I remember it. It was run as the TV movie on some channel about a million times. I'd seen the last twenty minutes over (and over and over again). (They're coming to take me away, ha ha, they're coming to take me away, ho ho, hee hee, ha haa)

[ginnie]

Anything on Fox Network.

The Fox Network had some good shows!
Malcolm in the Middle
The X Files
Mad TV
That 70's Show
Bones
Fringe
and who could forget Firefly?

[SkepticJ]

Well, at least they won't be able to make it to Jaws 19 by 2015, unless they really, really try.

[ginnie]

I don't know what the "worst" movie I ever saw was, but " In the Name of the King" ranks up there. Also "The Horse Whisperer" - the most boring movie I've seen.
And I'm a huge Kubrick fan, but "Eyes Wide Shut" was just awful.

I agree with you there, Nova. Also, I found Napoleon Dynamite quite dreadful

The most notable thing about Jaws 3D was that it was Lea Thompson's first silver screen appearance. It was a small role and, if I remember correctly, she survived to the end but her boyfriend did not.

And speaking of Lea Thompson:

Well, at least they won't be able to make it to Jaws 19 by 2015, unless they really, really try.

Without realignment, the Cubs can't play Miami in the World Series that year, either.

[ABR.]

Also "The Horse Whisperer" - the most boring movie I've seen.

I wasn't all that thrilled with the movie either, but was very amused when Sam Neill stepped out of the car, looked around and said, "So this is Montana."

Then she was in a little thing called Howard the Duck.

Terror i the Midnight Sun, AKA Invasion of the Animal People, AKA Rymdinvasion i Lappland, 1959

Classic B-movie.
Completely hopeless. Recommended. (:-))

Worst tv show I've had to repeatedly sit through: Ghost Whisperer . . . though the 'honorable mention' list is as long as my arm.

Worst movie: . . . hard to say. I don't normally sit through movies I like. Tara and my mom watched Lovely Bones the other week, and I saw a good chunk of it. It was laughably awful. Of course, that meant Tara loved it. *sigh*

[dwnielsen]

Ha ha, I know the feeling. Some years ago I was dating a young woman, and we went out to see a movie. Afterwards, we were at her mother's apartment, and as it turns out, they went to go see a movie too. I told them I thought the movie we decided to see turned out to be pretty awful, and I ragged on it a bit. The movie they saw was wonderful! We probably should have seen that! I'm sure you can guess, but to be explicit.. same movie, Bobby. From then on, all movies were at least "okay".

[DonM435]

Once while I was stuck in a waiting room at an automobile repair shop, other folks were watching one of those daytime "talk" shows where these cretinous guests who have some sordid dispute scream at one another -- using language that requires that 75% or more of the dialogue gets "bleeped" out -- until they start to fight physically and have to be restrained. A little of that, and I stepped out. Watching the tires being rotated was preferable. (I understand that this was typical, and that there are lots of such shows on.)

[Gillianren]

We probably should have seen that! I'm sure you can guess, but to be explicit.. same movie, Bobby.

I'd guessed that they would turn out to be the same movie, but not that anyone could have Bobby as the worst movie they'd ever seen.

[pzkpfw]

Who said Bobby was the worst movie they'd ever seen?

[Gillianren]

The idea that after that, every movie is "at least 'okay'" rather indicates it to me.

[HenrikOlsen]

I read that to mean that after that incident, no movie was described as worse than "okay" in order to prevent a recurrence of the embarrassment.
