Terrible movies that drive us into a laughter reel are how best to describe the feeling of “bitter-sweet.” We do not praise them for their brilliant acting, exceptional storytelling, or captivating cinematography, but they contain strange moments that project unintended, hard-to-forget, laughter-inducing humor. An internet fandom of hilariously bad movies with epic comic scenes wants you to see these rib-crackers if you feel like letting the laughter out.
1. The Room (2003)
The Room is the epitome of nonsensical movies that’ll make you laugh. One user on the thread says they “heard great terrible things about” The Room, with a second user categorizing the movie as the ne plus ultra of the nonsensical yet funny genre. Someone on the thread says The Room, when it comes to terrible movies that got you hee-haw, “is the king of bad.”
2. The Happening (2008)
Suppose you’re having a problem believing that a movie with a serious, tragic plot line cannot possibly dissolve into an unintentional comic relief. In that case, one user asks you to see The Happening so you could have hurting ribs from the constant pulse of chortling.
Replying, a second commenter considers Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg) as the greatest comedic casting of the century. A final commenter says they laughed for days, remembering one of the scenes where a shotgun blasts a kid in the face.
3. Fateful Findings (2013)
Supposedly a one-hour forty-minute science fiction film, you’d expect all the knowledge goosebumps watching; several people on the thread consider it trashy, but they couldn’t let go of the cringy comics that betray a unicellular’s intelligence. Someone describes the movie as “a serious, intentional effort by someone who does not have the skills/knowledge/perspective usually found in the medium.”
4. Showgirls (1995)
Responding to a comment stamping the place of Showgirls on the horrible movies list, one forum user says the movie kills him every time, suggesting that the terrible nature of the delivery is sufficient reason to see it again and again. She thinks it makes for a good recommendation.
5. State of the Union (2005)
One of the conversationalists on the thread mocks the plot line of the State of the Union. He said, “The NSA teams up with a gang of carjackers to save the country!” Just by the description of the plot line, it’ll be hard to save a chuckle. Like, what the? A second contributor says he loves the movie, and a third person recommends it to everyone who wants to have a good laugh watching awkward scenes.
6. Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)
Someone responds to the first commenter, saying they would suggest Manos: The Hands of Fate as the most terrible movie they’ve seen. “It’s so bad; it made the best Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode ever, he adds. A third user says the movie is an anomaly. “It can make 70 minutes feel like 4 hours.”
7. Troll 2 (1990)
Contrary to its title, Troll 2 has no connection to the original Troll film. Several film buffs say they are still trying to unravel the storyline, but the unintended comic output makes it “a fun, terrible movie to watch with a group,” someone explains.
8. The Greasy Strangler (2016)
The first moviegoer says just by the movie’s name. They think it’s already the winner. A second critic admits, “I’d suggest watching it with a wicked buzz and just enjoying the absurdity and ridiculousness of this masterpiece.”
9. Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
From the title, it’s apparent the producers of Freddy Got Fingered want you to have a good laugh. Still, it couldn’t have been through a terrible plotline, bad casting, and noticeable blips, could it? Someone says it’s easily the worst movie they’ve ever seen and the hardest they’ve laughed watching.
10. Battlefield Earth (2010)
“It’s bad, like really bad,” is how a first user describes Battlefield Earth. “Every time I watch that movie, I always reach a juncture where I simply cannot believe that it’s real,” he expounds, suggesting a surviving feeling of stark bewilderment that precedes a mocking flood of laughter.
A second user says Battlefield Earth should be the top one, as nothing compares to the catastrophe of a plotline that makes viewers question the sanity of the production crew.
