Cquote1
"Dear John Freeman, How are you? I Miss you at home come home safe and soon with Gordon Freeman for thanksgiving diner. Love mom."
—Half Life, Full Life Consequences 2: What has tobe done.
Cquote2


A lot of fanfiction falls under this regard. Sturgeon's Law has its part to play, as do Stealth Parody and Troll Fic.



Specific authors[]

Cquote1
Cquote2
  • The entire canon of Squirrelking. Memetic Mutation generator 4chan even made Fight Of Metal Gears into a comic because of its absolute awfulness.
    • HalfLife: Full Life Consequences has been adapted into many different animations. There are dozens more where that came from.
    • Prepare to be baffled — this guy is ridiculous. Every character is always referred to by their full name and only their full name. Gordon Freeman never calls his own brother "John" or vice-versa. John is an office worker who wears a lab coat. He has two motorcycles; one is explicitly "more faster" (why didn't he take it in the first place?), and the other he keeps on the roof. He does unnecessary and improbable backflips off the equally unnecessary and improbable ramp on the roof of his building. And he looks on the internet for "the next boss's weakness", as if he was playing the game himself. He has a laser gun and a "Rocket gun". None of this is ever explained.
      • With the main character looking on the internet and the bittersweet conclusion that came as a result of the John Freeman's hubris, one could take the second installment as satire.
    • Then there's Hero Beggining, a new chapter released on 16 February 2009, set some time after Full Life Consequences (which has yet to conclude) that extends Gordon Freeman's family further and seems to establish that Combines are Metro-cops that come from "science and outter space". Good lord.
    • Hero Beggining was soon followed by a new chapter called Halflife Fulllife Consequences: Free Man. It starts with John Freeman backflipping out of the sky.
    • One troper took his two Halo: Halos in Space fics and remade them as one fic. See here.
    • Every one of his works use family members of video game characters instead of the actual characters. There's John Freeman, Gorden Freeman's brother; Jake Snake, Solid Snake's son; Rain Strife, cloud strife's brother; and finally, Joe Chief, an army guy, but he wasn't a robot liek master cheif, so he didn't fly. [1]
  • Dr.Splattenburgers seems to have a talent for poor grammar, utterly random and nonsensical story lines, and mercilessly butchering the original personalities of the characters in his stories. In his crossover story called "Gears of Potter", Marcus and Dominic from Gears of War team up with Harry Potter to fight an Alien Invasion, giant locust ghosts, and Voldemort's evil Crackmaster zombie demon swordfish lobster monster. The sheer amount of randomness and the nonsensical "character development" can lead to many laugh out loud moments, though it may also do bad things to your brain if you try to read too much of it.
    • Also, it appears that the author doesn't know much about the Harry Potter universe besides the bare basics. Here are just some of the things that are different in the story compared to the actual Harry Potter universe.
      • In the Harry Potter universe, wizards are strictly forbidden from using dangerous spells in the purpose of harming others and breaking this rule is considered a very serious crime. In the fic however, Harry Potter can just casually use his magic to summon demons that drag people to hell.
      • In the books/movies, Voldemort use to be a Hogwarts student like Potter who then later turned to evil. In the fic he use to be a caveman who sold his soul to Satan so he could go fight a dinosaur.
      • In the movies Harry has a fairly typical teenage male voice, while in the fic his voice is described as being very high pitched.
    • The idea of a Gears of War/Harry Potter crossover became Hilarious in Hindsight when EA Games released the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which pretty much played exactly like Gears of War, cover system and all, with magic spells replacing guns.
    • In addition to making the now finished Gears of Potter, the author also wrote a short Avatar fanfic titled "Avatar: Redemption in space" which takes place after the events of the film where Jake Sully, the protagonist of the film and now a married Na'vi has to save Pandora from nuclear Armageddon, using his huge knife that can cut through spaceships, his Na'vi mind powers, and the power of Manly Tears to defeat the evil "humens" who are trying to destroy Pandora.
    • However, there is a chance that these fics could be either brilliant Stealth Parodies or Troll Fics.
  • Everything by mynameisanonymous. She writes absolutely awful Pokemon fanfiction and believes it to be not only well-written, but romantic. She has decent grammar and spelling, but the content is hilariously terrible. It is notable that not one of them is a troll fic.
  • Anything made by Comics Nix, such as The Wolf Blood Lineage and Doomsday Womb featuring Superman, Batman, and Inspector Gadget. Also notable is Love Beyond Circuits; Love Beyond Flesh, featuring Optimus Prime, Princess Leia and R2-D2, especially since it gives us such immortal lines as:
Cquote1

 Optimus: "Leia, your leather clad bikini lighten up my boron buttocks"

Cquote2
  • Anything by Ranay. Her ridiculously dramatic writing, awful spelling... It's enough to reduce anyone to tears of laughter. She de-activated her Deviantart Account, but her works can still be found by doing a Google Search or Deviantart Search of her. Alternatively, this has archived a few of her works.
  • The oeuvre of "Doctor Thinker" and his good-natured struggles with the English language ("Out pooped Sailor Mercury") deserve mention. Still, be fair to the guy. He does admit that he's not a great speller, and he's happy to have his work MSTed. He's a good sport — a TERRIBLE writer, but a good sport. He's even a member here(Dr Thinker),and unlike some of the other authors of bad fanfiction, seems like a genuinely nice guy.
  • Sue Mary a "haf-goast haf-vampire haf-gurl" seems to have no grasp of the English language OR the things she writes about. She wrote The Huemn Ceniped 2 The Humen Milipede, Sherlock Homes vs. Jack the Ripper, and Teh Screaming of the Lambs.
  • niceperson, whose works include a Zelda story in which Link faces CYBERMEN; Merlin: Revenge of Oother, where Uther Pendragon is presented as a hero fighting against an evil world of "magick" using The Bible as justification; and a Skins fic with exaggerated Northern accents, an Aesop against "drugging," and a fight with a werewolf. Most of his more recent stuff involves the ridiculously named Spadang Skaran, a Villain Sue of epic proportions, who pops up in almost every universe for no apparent reason, and is the definition of Card-Carrying Villain:
Cquote1

 "BRING ME MY FOOD" he sohuted to a man next to him and the man did. A tray came in with dead baibes on it.

He ate it but spat it out. "THAT WAS NOT TASTY! YOU7 WILL PAY YOU FUICKER!"

Crossovers[]

Cquote1

 This fanfic's kinda like Passenger of Shit or Anal Cunt: It's blatantly, horribly unprofessional, but it's such professional unprofessionality that I can't help but be entertained by it.

Cquote2


Anime and Manga[]

  • Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami. Light's evil(er) twin brother Dark comes to visit Light's family (in America), and brings with him the king of the Shinigami and his Death Note, which lets you kill someone without knowing their face... or name. Sayu meanwhile turns out to be a lesbian and seduces Misa to steal her Death Note, while Yotsuba&! makes an accidental crossover. Oh, and Light uses the horrifying phrase "better make it a foursome" in reference to his brother and sister IN FRONT OF HIS PARENTS in the most scarring Oh, Cisco moment ever.
  • Hailing from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the fandom got a horribly-written fanfic entitled Gundam 00M: Marina's Figth posted on 4chan's /m/ board. It's full of typos, Gratuitous Japanese (also misspelled at times) and creative licensing with the titular character, much to the excitement of those who normally hated her. Also featured were some Crossover characters from other Gundam series and historical figures such as Eisenhower. As a result, many readers of the supposed troll's piece found themselves laughing hysterically. Unfortunately, the threads were never archived, but this seems to contain all chapters which actually existed.
  • Pokémon: Attack of Mewtwo, in which Mewtwo Mewthree blows up Oak's lab for no reason and the Mary Sue protagonist's Pokemon are altered using "genetics" to fight his clone army. The spelling and grammar are what really make the fic. Possibly a troll fic. Definitely bad.
  • Teh Wirst Fanfic Evar!!1 is the creation of some people who can actually write, done as a jape to mock horrible fanfiction. Succeeds hilariously. Two Words : toe rape.
  • Tokyo Crystal Mew is your standard Tokyo Mew Mew Spin Offspring fanfic, or it would be if it weren't turned into its own animated series using MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker. After the initial shock wears off, it kind of becomes hard to outright hate it. (Especially the later episodes, which show an improvement in the artwork and pacing.) Even 4chan has the occasional Fan Art thread dedicated to it.
  • Dragonball N is a piece of flash animation so terrible it's utterly brilliant. 'I can't help but save the day!'
  • Voltes V vs Voltron: the Godaikin Wars The only English language Voltes V fanfic on the Net is an eighty-four chapter of what appears to be an angry Voltes V fanboy's treatise on his irrational hatred for Voltron. With the superficial premise of a villain named Paul the Imjad stealing the Galaxy Alliance's "Encyclopedia Universale" microfilm and framing the Voltes team for it; both villain and microfilm were completely forgotten in favor of Voltron having sound effect-laden battles with Voltes V, as well as Combattler V, Daimos, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman and even Space Sheriff Shaider, and gets its ass handed to it every time. The Voltron Team's canon heroic personalities were all thrown out of the window and replaced with straw Jerkass and Straw Loser attributes in an attempt of the author to discredit them, but it's all to anviliciously drive the point that Voltron is absolute crap and is not deserving of all the attention. Add the Rouge Angles of Satin, blatant plagiarism [6], outright Flanderization [7], one Poison Oak Epileptic Tree after another, and the rather amusing posturing of the author in response to the angry Voltron fans (just read his "answer" to said Voltron fan here); and we get an epic Fan Wank of the highest order.
  • One night of the drop of rain is an Axis Powers Hetalia fanfic in the same way Lisa Is Pregnant is a Simpsons fanfic. It reads like a Blind Idiot Translation, with bits of other languages that didn't quite translate peppered throughout, but from the looks of it, it wouldn't have made much sense in its original language anyway. The story begins with America and England having sex (or something) when Canada bursts in and professes his love for America. Then Kumajirou shows up and professes his love for Canada, except he turns into Alaska and... you know what, there's no coherent plot to be found. Nothing we could say could possibly do it justice. Read it for yourself, if you want to make sense of it--not that that provides much of a clearer picture.
  • Snow Angels is a Haruhi Suzumiya fic that focuses on Yuki and Mikuru. If you think that this is here for Relationship Writing Fumbles, you are dead wrong. This fic is listed here because of the over-the-top wackiness and Narm. Canon is thrown out the window practically from the first chapter due to Rule of Cool, featuring such gems as Mikuru getting a Humongous Mecha and a dinosaur, and pretty much every battle is a Curb Stomp. Sadly, it has now been taken down.
  • The Battle is apparently a short Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic that goes nowhere. It starts with the author inserting somebody named "Trey" who apparently knows karate and beats a bully up. Then they appear out of nowhere inside Yugi's head, then they appear at Yugi's game shop. Infamously, the author even pairs himself up with one of the female characters, Tea.
  • Todai Days is an Azumanga Daioh fic featuring the girls at Tokyo University (which BTW is almost Japan's equivalent to Harvard), where they're picked up by some self insert Gary Stus. What puts this fic in this column is Kaorin turning from Shrinking Violet Schoolgirl Lesbian to full-bore Ax Crazy Yandere when Sakaki goes out with one of the guys, beating them nearly to death almost once every chapter. Narmiest line: "No, he's gonna pay! IN BLOOD!!!"
  • Hamtaro 2 (All parts can be found here) created by LegendofWii. Must be seen to be believed. Watch at your own risk.
    • Also see My Roommate's a Pokemon (here ya go)… Seriously, what is this?
  • BECAUSE I'M GERMANY is a hilariously well-written (as in, not having horrid grammar) Troll Fic (usually have) from Axis Powers Hetalia fandom. The title itself is the Catch Phrase of the titular character whenever he was asked why he "LIKE TO KEEP IT WARM IN A NICE DOG.", or anything else he did, really. Insanity includes repeated use of "KAWAII DESU" and some Gratuitous French and Spanish, Engrish done by -of course- Japan, someone getting impregnated by TWO BEARS, whale becoming president, Mpreg, alien babies, necrophiliac, so on, so on...
  • meduka meguka is a series of 4chan forum posts intentionally badly reciting the events of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Full of spelling errors and horrendous Off-Model pictures, it is nevertheless true to the plot and so extremely awesome it achieved Memetic Mutation status.
  • It is almost impossible to accurately describe Love's Grande Quest without breaking out in laughter. It is a Haruhi Suzumiya fic... but Haruhi doesn't appear at all. Her role is given to an obvious Purity Sue. The prose is so ridiculously over-the-top that at least one reviewer called it Crazy Awesome. Mikuru is a "dragon maiden" and the villains are so cartoonish and Obviously Evil that one has to wonder how the main character ever thought they were trustworthy in the first place.
  • Fullmetal Alchemist fanfic Fuery Plus Havoc Equals Love seems to go out of its way to be as awkward as possible without being a poorly written Lemon. The entirety of it consists of Havoc backing Fuery into a closet, while Fuery is randomly worrying about whether Havoc knows about his undying love for him. Havoc tells Furey he loves him, and panics because he thinks he ruined their friendship. Fuery confesses that he loves Havoc too, they make out, and their clothes fall off. Mustang and Edward then walk past where the two were having their...event, and they act like they saw something only slightly abnormal and shrug it off almost immediately after fleeing the scene. The whole thing is hilarious, but Havoc has a line shortly after Mustang and Edward find him and Fuery that is pure gold, and I don't want to spoil it. This is so awful, that I couldn't help but enjoy it, despite shying away from fanfics of this nature.
  • Nareto the Scret of Shiobi is pure comedy gold, including things like the "Acutesushi" and Zabuza coming back to life to eat Might Guy's corpse.
  • Kaorin's Confession, an Azumanga Daioh darkfic set years after the series ends. Chiyo-chan is on drugs and dies of an overdose, Kaorin is sent to a mental hospital while pregnant and placed in solitary by Kimura after she refuses to let him rape her, Tomo dies of a stroke brought on by a head injury, and Sakaki spent over a decade in prison because a cop died on her property and she herself is dying of rabies. Also, Osaka is her lawyer. At first it seems to be yet another edgy darkfic about a cute anime series, but then the comments completely spin it around to be hilarious. Tomo would write an incredibly horrifying darkfic like that just to troll her friends.


Comics[]


Film[]

  • Yoda. And. Tequila.
  • Root Her!, an utterly insane Jurassic Park fanfic that revolves around an extra named "Joffrey" (apparently named after the actor who played him) getting raped to death and eaten by a female velociraptor while Muldoon watches and masturbates. It would normally be horrifying were it not for the fact that the author was obviously having a blast trying to think of the most ludicrous Purple Prose and unusual euphemisms imaginable to refer to what's going on; the act of Muldoon jerking off is referred to as him "energetically pumping his purple shotgun", the raptor is described as a "carrion-scented Aphrodite", Joffrey gets sprayed with "putrid velociraptor love Tabasco", the word "velocigina" is used at one point...it just goes on and on in a carousel of WTF-ery.
    • The worst thing about this? The author actually seems to be a competent writer.


Literature[]

  • The infamous My Immortal, a plotless Harry Potter fic that stars Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Tara Raven Way, a "goff" [end sarcasm quotes] Mary Sue pastiche (mostly Jerk Sue) with "icy blue eyes like limpid tears" who's So Beautiful It's a Curse. The author managed to turn everyone into either a goth "goffik" or a prep (like Dumbledore, who has a robe with Avril Lavigne on it) and the spelling gets worse and worse through the fanfic. Whether she's a Troll or if the author was serious when she wrote it is under debate, but if it's a joke, that means she's one of the most meticulous trolls in history. It's the only fanfic that's been turned into a movie and a published novel. It's also been translated into a dozen languages.
    • My Immortal isn't so bad it's good, it's so horrible it's awesome.
    • The part about being translated into a dozen languages is especially impressive, since it was barely even written in English. Try listening to a dramatic reading of it without reading along.
  • Not nearly as bad, but still a sterling example of how crappy fanfiction can get, is the Harry Potter tale called A Sad Story. It's a oneshot wherein Harry is regularly beaten by Uncle Vernon, falls in love with a girl with her own abusive guardian, and is killed. The author doesn't give a damn about continuity, characterization, or common sense. ('...he grabbed Harry by the neck and dragged him to the garden Shed. He padlocked the door with at least 20 locks.')
    • "...His Uncle then pulled out a shotgun, with a silencer on it..."
    • Or Uncle Vernon's line, "It's too late, my dear".
  • The Redwall fanfic Shadow Rapes Matthias. Well, at least you can't say it doesn't deliver what it promises. Crash course: Matthias is the mouse hero, and Shadow is the ninja-thief-rat sent by the villain to infiltrate Redwall Abbey. In canon, they were onstage together for about three seconds, which consisted of a fight/chase scene as Shadow attempted to get the MacGuffin back to his boss. MST'd here. Be warned that Matthias is, for no apparent reason but the obvious, noted to be 13, at least according to Word of God and the TV series. The author's note which says so could be a clumsily phrased attempt at saying he's meant to be older in the fic, but just in case. The same author did two more fics, featuring Martin the Warrior and numerous other male characters performing physically implausible actions, which are also MSTed on the linked blog. Watch out for the completely random Spellsinger Shout-Out.
    • The MST is nothing short of brilliant, for all three of this horrible author's works. Bonus points for bringing in Romsca for the last MST, which turns out exactly as twistedly awesome as one could hope.

  • The Harry Potter fanfic Imma Wiserd deserves some mention; the story is beyond absurd. Everyone is a gangster or a white "rassist" in Hogwarts, including Harry Potter who as it turns out is black but a white actor was chosen instead for the audience. Perhaps its defining sequence is a game of Qudditch where not only are all the houses in play, but the Ravenclaw team are all killed by Voldemort before the match begins, leaving the lead characters Soulja and Harry to win the game...and then the Ku Kux Klan appear and start shooting at the protagonists.
    • The writer of this is hilariously convinced that Snape is a Jew because he knows big words (i.e. non-slang words) and thus has him use a giant dollar bill like a flying carpet. Later on, Hermione decides not to travel back in time, to when Biblical figures attended Hogwarts (!) with Pontius Pilate (Or "Pumpass Pilot") as headmaster (!!), based on the absence of pretty dresses and sewing machines (!!!) in the past.
    • Did we mention that Hermione's Patronus is a vacuum cleaner?
  • Hogwarts of Heaven by Silver Suffering. Every single chapter of this...thing makes no sense. Here is an example with the first sentence. "Chestere Le Valiente played a rocking electric guitar solo on his shiny wooden saxaphone and wondered what life would be like if he was a female 16 year old Indonesian gymnast who was secretly working to bring down the government and force the world to wear pink tuxedos." Random cameos include Squall Leonhart, Penelope Pitstop, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Chuck Norris, Shinji Ikari and Dorothy Zbornak. Also, the author seems to plan to write 100 chapters of this...
  • Winnie The Pooh Assimilated By The Borg. A Crack Fic of the highest order. The Borg invade the Hundred Acre Wood, murdering Rabbit before assimilating Pooh. The rest of the story consists of Pooh of Borg assimilating or murdering everyone, eventually ending with the entire cast part of the Collective or dead. Should be terrible, but the sheer over-the-top nature (Pooh of Borg kills Piglet over not sharing his honey) elevates it to this level.
    • The very words "Pooh of Borg" alone justify the existence of this work.
  • What happens when you take an original-flavour Harry Potter Mary Sue, pair her with Ron the Death Eater and heap on the Deus Angst Machina until it crosses the line from tragedy to hilarity and sends her into the willing arms of Draco Malfoy? You get Dark Secrets, which can be read in its NSFW entirety here.
  • Hidden Prophecies Prophices is likely a trollfic, but it's still hilarious as it can be. It's a Warrior Cats fanfic and you've really just got to see it to believe it.
    • Part of what makes it so hilarious is that, with its actually okay-ish grammar and spelling, it genuinely seems like a ten-year-old girl doing her damnedest.
  • HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, a.k.a. Thirty Hs. Particularly impressive in that it's so indescribably twisted that it has no flames in over a hundred reviews. Warning: starts out somewhat squicky, but gets much worse after about chapter three.
  • Celebrian has a whole meta-game around it based on trying to get people with weak stomachs to read it. Even then, the story has its fans simply for being full of Narm and for being so laughably over-the-top in its Squickiness that it Crosses the Line Twice. Someone even started a dramatic reading.
  • Legolas: Back to the Future, which is basically a Canadian teenage girl's diary with Legolas stuck in somehow. Notable for its aggressive wholesomeness and lack of nearly any standard "Fictional Character is 'Bamfed' Into The Real World" tropes. The fic's gone from fanfiction.net now, but you can find an MS Ting here.
    • Particular note must be made of the shamelessly blatant Mary Sueness of main character Crystal, who reveals her self as (in no particular order): an excellent cook, singer, musician, dancer, horseback rider, mechanic, a practitioner of La Savate[8] capable of throwing standing kicks above Legolas' head, a church youth group leader, possessing of a Death Glare that could cow anyone (including Legolas) and she teaches a music class[9] at the local community center. And oh yeah, she's also telepathic and telekinetic.
  • Starkits Prophecy. There are thousands of horrific Warrior Cats fanfics out there, due to its tendency to attract young readers who don't really understand the plot, but this one takes the cake. The "plot" begins when StarClan recieves a prophecy, obviously regarding a sparkling Mary Sue known as StarKit, proclaiming that "out of the darkness, stars will come and get rid of the evil tiger and holly." It goes downhill from there. StarGleam winds up with at least four toms in love with her (all of whom are much older than she is, and one of whom is her great grandfather), becomes a warrior after 3.14 days of apprenticeship, delivers the (brutally massacred) Ten Commandments (of which there are eleven) in an obvious attempt to evangelize the writer's own beliefs, takes over as leader when Firestar steps down for her, and has many more Rouge Angles of Satin-filled adventures. It's truly magnificent, be it a Troll Fic or not.
    • Highlights include:
      • "And held out... SOME JEW!"
      • "GayStrip locked at hr meanly."
      • "Wit a rar like an volcano erection she jumped at StarGlaem!"
      • "'!' said StarPaw ass she ruan in to the forest. It wus to muck# she culdnt choss!"
      • "'WHAT ARE O TRIG TO DO MOLE STRAEP ME?1?'"
      • "'theyre names were DawnSpark;e and... Stick/ saud JayFeather."
      • "Everyone jumped at the HoBare!"
      • "AND THEN STARGLEAM WAS DIED!11!111!11111!1!11!"
      • "'MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!11!1!1!11!' yelled StarGleamStar walking up. She juts culdnt be in loe with HawkForest she just could!11!1!11!"
  • The Harry Potter fanfic "Becoming Female". It starts off as the usual Harry-is-turned-into-a-girl-by-a-potion-accident-and-gets-paired-with-Draco story, but then it gets worse better. All the male characters disliked by the author, particularly Ron, are "sexist" in a ridiculously over-the-top manner and even refer to themselves as "sexist". Female characters disliked by the author tolerate this and are thus considered "sluts". Might be a Troll Fic, but it's hard to tell as the author claims it's partially a comedy, which would explain the occasional random humor ("At that moment, Dumbledore rode into the hospital wing on a unicycle wearing an old-fashioned bathing suit."). You can see a Dramatic Reading of the first half of chapter one here.
    • The Troll Fic hypothesis seems likely, given that each chapter starts with an utterly insane description of what all the female character are wearing, as well as the near-constant "I also had underwear on".
  • Another Harry Potter fanfic with the delightful name of The Chronicles of Merlin: The Return, which features Harry as the reincarnation of Merlin. Pretty much everyone (save maybe Ron and Hermione) are Out of Character, and includes such gems as Draco inviting Harry to stay over the summer, but adding "My father still has a problem with mixed bloods and the poor, so Ron and Hermione can't come".
  • Phoenix's Life is a Harry Potter fanfic which has achieved legendary status on Pottersues for one Narmtastic line:
Cquote1

 But Harry's body skimmed the surface of the lake and then, in a true blaze of glory, he transformed into a magnificent phoenix. And some say, as he soared into the sun set, that he yelled "IT'S MY LIFE" before he retreated into the clouds to never return.

Live Action TV[]


Tabletop RPGs[]


Video Games[]

  • Lust Penis (obviously NSFW), an infamous MS Paint comic. Fox McCloud gets transformed into a dinosaur sex slave by a reptilian king, who violates him anally and transforms him again into a gigantic, live penis, fusing him with an enormous statue, which then proceeds to anally violate another enormous statue. After creating a river of semen, Fox regains consciousness, reverts back to his former self, and agrees that even though the whole thing was just a plot by the lizard king to have sex with him, he'd still like to do it again sometime. For those who aren't easily offended, it's utterly hilarious in its total ineptitude and bizarre plot.
  • One can usually expect online role-playing in general to be bad. In between crappy characters, God Modding, and a lack of fluency in actions, it's just expected. However, one author in the City of Heroes Virtue server community manages to showcase all worst excesses and biggest mistakes of the fandom. He goes by the name of Raienst, with some of the most potently awful writing ever, it warps the space time continuum and becomes utterly hilarious. His earlier characters such as Logan Storm and ShadowWings have to be seen to be believed. They're basically God Mode Sues without any regard whatsoever for continuity, plausibility, or regard for either the English language or Wiki markup. He has (unfortunately) gotten better over time (without losing the God Mode Sue leanings...), but you can feel your intelligence draining as you read on.
    • Most of his characters: "Nice guy, good with women, angry, no parents, uberly powerful."
  • red dead john merston: the return and dislike, a Red Dead Redemption fanfic that manages to portray every character completely wrong, have some of the most terrible dialogue ever seen and a Title Drop that could make John Freeman himself wince. Notably, Man Without A Body did a Dramatic Reading of it, which can be found here.
  • Sephirothslave'sShinra High and its sequel, Shinra SOLDIER are probably the best known examples in Final Fantasy VII fandom. Proudly called "novels" by their authoress, they have a total of 170 chapters together, filled with nothing but inaccurate interpretations and wishfulfillment. Among many things, these fanfictions feature a goth Mary Sue and self insert of epic proportions, canon defilement, butchered character personalities, cliche love triangle, wangst, Beige Prose and a clear Did Not Do the Research.
  • Left 2 Die 4ever. The plot is pretty faithful and original at the same time considering it's Left 4 Dead.
  • The Modern Warfare 2 fanfic "Beta Threat". The entire plot can be summarized as "Marty Stu protagonist kills a bunch of Card-Carrying Villain terrorists, goes to jail because he failed to save a single hostage, and is called back into action to kill more terrorists." The spelling is... unspeakable.
  • Quake Urgency, which almost kind of read like a rough draft of an aborted Quake comic-book in the style of the Doom comic.
Cquote1

 "Oh no zombie dogs!" said Quake Marine and he shoot the exploding barrels and they were explode taking the zombie spiders (which exploded)

Cquote2
  • My Inner Life. Another one kicked off of the So Bad It's Horrible page for being hilariously bad instead of just plain bad. Nominally a fanfic of The Legend of Zelda, it's horribly written with the most blatant self-insertion Sue ever. In a situation similar to Sonichu, the writer is part of what makes it the phenomenon it is, and you must understand her to understand it. She goes out of her way to screech at anyone who might openly dislike the fic in her disclaimers for three pages if you cut-and-paste it into your word processor, and feels that Viewers are Morons to the point of putting an incredible number of footnotes — almost as long as the "people who don't like my fic are evil" rants. Apparently, readers aren't bright enough to figure out what a "spring festival" is. Most of all, she's clearly dead serious about all the things that many suspect of being parody in My Immortal and the like. This is someone who has less ability to take criticism than Uwe Boll.
    • Also, she's got a strange relationship with the 'return' key. Often, it's hard to tell who's talking because dialogue that really should have been another paragraph will be placed right next to the actions of someone else. But by this point, that's the 'jaywalking' in Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking.
  • The Legund of Lik. Link fights monsters from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and makes horrible puns. The writing is so atrocious that it's probably intentional. Do not read this in a library, because you will laugh. Hard.
  • The aftermath of Ashe's life, a Final Fantasy XII fanfic by Ashe10 that centers around Ashe having sex. A lot. As Ashe says, "All queens are not all innocent. I am just a nasty queen. What do you expected?" She also has a tendency to call her lovers sexy mutha fuckas. Although Ashe's husband, Rasler (Or Rassler, as the author calls him) is the real standout in the story, providing gems such as, "Who the fuck is you talking to in that tone!" and "WHAT!? YOU DONE AN AFFAIR!"
  • Tales of the Spageti Womna. Nominally a Metroid Crack Fic, it features such gems as as Ridley/Samus pairing, a crossover with Youtube Poop, and Captain Falcon's name being "misspelled" as "Captain Fellatio." Almost like Youtube Poop in fanfic form.
    • As well as this line: "OH MY GAWD!" THEY ALL EXCLAMD "NAHTANEL IS A HOMOSEXEXAUL!"
  • Breakdown, a Persona 3 fanfic, has the cast dying in improbable ways, and Mitsuru coping by becoming a prostitute, then running into traffic and dying. If technically passable, the whole thing is pretty ridiculous and handled very poorly.
    • If you weren't laughing throughout, the final line is a guaranteed LOL. Roxius in general, is great for incomprehensible fics, and the confused/angry/scared reviewers.
  • Imp Encounter, an infamous Doom fanfic that satirizes sex fanfiction by having the Doom Guy, under the influence of a berserk pack, brutally rape and kill a female imp (The Goomba of the first Doom, arguably even easier than the zombies for an experienced player to kill). The story and the sex scene have become Memetic Mutation in the Doom community, with a tribute site named impse.cx, an infamous animated GIF, and even a cutscene level.
  • Hell Hath Fury, a Doom fanfiction featuring a Gary Stu protagonist. It contains every Doom fanfiction cliche. It's also overly long and badly written.
  • Doom: The Unseen Version(NSFW). A badly written smutfic in which the people stationed in Mars get it on with the demons after all Hell breaks loose. You will never look at Doom the same way again... it makes Impse look tame.
  • The Evil Alliance, written by cloudacsephac, is a Final Fantasy Mega Crossover that features impenetrable, pseudo-Faulknerian stream of consciousness prose. Cloud and Squall inexplicably team up (along with a Cloud-chasing Relationship Sue named Blaze) to take down the eponymous alliance of Sephiroth and Ultimecia. The author's tangled, incoherent prose, bizarre plotting and interminable fight scenes make this a must read. Good luck trying to figure out who's speaking at any given time.
  • Bowser's Mexico Adventure, because while most Mario fan fiction falls under this category, this one stands a bit above them. After all, where else will you find in addition to Bowser (of the Wet variety, whatever that means), Boba Fett and C-3PO, Nedry, Aladdin, Mozenrath, Joel and the Bots and Bear Grylls? Possibly a Troll Fic, but still so bad it's good.
  • This Warcraft fanfiction. The only plausible explanation for the whole thing is that there's someone kidnapping major lore characters and giving them frontal lobotomies.
  • The prince and the peasant written by Ranay is a Mega Man In Name Only fanfic which pairs her Self-Insert character, Ranay, with Top Man. The story takes place in Medieval times and supposedly all characters (and yes, including the robot masters) are humans. Not to mention Top Man transforms into a CAT BEAST. The fanfic alone contains large amounts of Canon Defilement, Plot Holes, Department of Redundancy Department, and Did Not Do the Research. It’s only made more hilarious by Ranay’s disregard for proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and overall use of the English language.
    • “In a kingdom where the laws were absolute, everything was going against these laws was to punish the destruction or death. In the same realm sometimes not even that was wrong was dismissed. But there was something different about this kingdom”
    • “king is a farce”
    • "Top stun all soldiers but forget to Rock"
  • Mega Man At McDonalds. Mega Man owes Dr. Light (presumably, because the author neglected to state whom he was talking to) $44,632.82 from buying diapers, so he gets a job at McDonald's. Mega Man is completely incompetent (he even says he is retarded), and later on, he gets slashed by a "tyrant from Resident Evil", and is beaten up by a generic bully. Everyone is out of character (especially Mega Man). The plot is weak, there are typos, and there are also several failed attempts at humor. There is also a blatant inconsistency; In Chapter 2, Mega Man shoots Johnny Sasaki, which means he is not bound by the Three Laws of Robotics, but in Chapter 3, he self-cites the First Law as the reason why he can't harm "Some The Bully".
  • "A Raptor's Lust", an erotic fanfic starring Lara Croft and a velociraptor. MSTed by Topless Robot here, this story gave the world a human-and-raptor "romance", some of the most extreme examples of Anatomically-Impossible Sex, Rob's commentary degenerating into multiple lines of "HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE" and death threats against the author, and copious misuse of the verb "whickered".
  • ITS MY LIFE! for Portal. Marrissa Roberts, Chell's sister, is at first just living in the "portal labs" but then the fan fiction slowly turns into fighting villains of a greater and greater scale.
  • Amelia_nekomimi's (now named GARGOULES) "Fire Emblem: Ike's Journey" takes elements from both Blazing Blade, Sacred Stones and the Tellius games, adds some Mary-Sue and a bit of Self-Insert and mixes it all with a delicious dose of Peter Chimaera-level writing to create an epic tale of love, sacrifice, pink weapons from the future and magic rocket horses. It's filled with memorable quotes such as "I kill him with cuts and a catle fall on his head" and "ONLY MUCH WORST". Even if you're not a Fire Emblem fan, you'll laugh at how ridiculous it all is.
  • Superhadou's Crystal Man's Journey is a fanfic about the robot masters from Mega Man 5 going into the future to help X and Zero battle Mavericks and Sigma with Crystal Man as their leader. Though the grammar isn't awful, it contains awful puns, random songs and generally over the top fight scenes.
  • Super Smash Sisters: Damsel to Hero is a laughably-convoluted mess of a fanfic. Essentially a combination of a lesbian Rule 34 fic and an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, it takes on a strange pretentious aura by beginning its chapters with World War Two-related quotes lifted from Call of Duty games. Futhermore, its narrative takes Loads and Loads of Characters Up to Eleven, with numerous spots in the text, some even intended as dialogue, where a truly huge inventory of characters is read off--and these exhaustive spots JUST KEEP REPEATING. They're all fighting against Nazis and other generic enemies from Call of Duty games.
  • Umineko: Memories of Umineko A bizarre Umineko fanfiction that contains a mary sue that is coincidentally named Umineko. Battler's in love with her, Beatrice kills him and he's alive because he's an appartion for some reason. This fic is filled with bad spelling and grammar, Ikea Erotica , a plot that doesn't make sense, an over the top mary sue and villain sue. It very well may be a troll fic.
  • From the Touhou fandom comes Reimu fights the bad guys of adrkness by Talos Angel. It includes (among other things) rampant Rouge Angles of Satin ("Hell Reimu," Reimu fried Marisa sad, "Is god mourning!"), Marisa playing Half-Life 2, Pactouli and Marisa getting "nekked" and having "hot sox" on Reimu's couch, Marisa getting pregnant and having a baby, and a nonsensical plot where Reimu becomes a bad guy. The author admits that she wrote it while drunk, but it's still hilarious either way.
    • There's a dramatic read of it here.
  • Mass Effect fanfiction has Parallel Realities, which is probably the single silliest Alternate Universe Fic the continuum has given. Admittedly, the premise is interesting, but where the author takes the premise is so silly and incredibly stupid it gets really bad. And yet, there's something unabashed about its silliness and how obvious the Author Tract is that it's hard to hate it.
  • WOlfenstien comeback, a senseless Troll Fic in which the main character of Wolfenstein (referred to as Dr. Wolfenstein, even though Wolfenstein is the name of the castle) is trying to fight the "Natzees", then ends up in Rapture and is renamed "Bioshock", then he resurfaces and ends up in the world of Fallout for no reason. It has absolutely no story and makes no sense whatsoever, but it's freakin' hilarious.
  • The (extremely NSFW) Pokémon Black and White fanfic "Bloody Love". The story features Burgh as a Yandere Serial Killer who's obsessed with forcing Grimsley to have sadomasochistic sex with him! Burgh suffers extreme Character Derailment while at the same time having his camp traits taken Up to Eleven to the point he sings just about every line he says and makes a (possibly unintentional) reference to the musical Damn Yankees. Meanwhile Grimsley has become Too Dumb to Live and doesn't seem to have the faintest clue about how creepy Burgh is acting until it's too late. However, regulars in the Pokémon Black and White fandom may be impressed by how it's Burgh chasing Grimsley this way rather than the other way around!
  • "Laughter" is a Pokémon Diamond and Pearl fanfic that attempts to explain some things about Cyrus's past. The writing is competent and some of the ideas it raises are interesting, but the random, senseless gruesome torments inflicted on Cyrus come out of nowhere and the first and second chapters gel together so badly they might as well be two completely separate stories. The fic is laughable for its sheer Refuge in Audacity.


Web Comics[]

  • A Homestuck fanfic, the creatively titled Homestuck high (sic), has been posted on FF.net. It's almost reminiscent of My Immortal in some ways. Probably a Troll Fic, but still hilariously terrible.
    • To elaborate, it starts out as a High School AU of Homestuck before quickly going into some bizzare plot about Sollux (who is a demon for some reason) trying to impregnate Rose and Jade and use them to give birth to demon spawn. The fan fic is very much In Name Only, in both Homestuck and in its title, as it's more of a supernatural story than a high school one. It makes no sense and names of canon characters are used for other people. (Aradia is some sort of genie that helps out John, Eridan is John's transformation in order to duel with the demon Sollux, etc.) It also involves John having a vision after possesed by dark magic from a McDonalds burger as an important plot point. And John had liked Rose ever since she... bit his arm and broke his glasses in the second grade.

 Eddy: hey my parents aren't here I kick @$$

Edd: hey you stole the jewel

Eddy: hey the officers asleep I kick @$$

Edd: STOP SAYING THAT!!!!

Ed: hey where did you get the jewel

Edd: he stole it

Eddy: yep when the officers asleep I kick @$$

Edd: you said that already

Eddy: oh yeah

Cquote2
    • Here is a summary of the fic: Eddy finds a huge jewel and steals it, somehow leading to Ed and Edd to take the blame. While the two are arrested, Eddy tries to play dogeball with Jimmy but accidently kills him. Then Eddy goes back to his house to find it being destroyed by the jewel, getting it replaced by "house held nunchucks". After going to bed and Jackie Chan asks to read him a story, Eddy wakes up to find Sarah. She gets mad at Eddy for killing Jimmy and beats Eddy up untill he confesses that he stole the jewel and then bails Ed and Edd out, but not before the Red Guy puts a spell on Eddy giving him a boil twice the size of the jewel. (The jewel destroyed his house). Yeah.
  • ED of the World by Steve. The Eds and the kids go to the carnival, which turns out to suck eggs. When they watch trained chihuahuas perform, one of them bites Jimmy, while another destroys Plank. And when the fireworks set off, the kids start bleeding from airborne glass shards. The carnival turns out to be a trap by Jimmy von Diablo, and the kids run away before von Diablo blows up the place. The End.
  • Urban Eds by Yunaman. The plot invlolves the Eds as teenagers going to a night club, where Nazz works as a prostitute. It has Costume Porn, Johnny as a bouncer on steroids raping Eddy, Eddy drinking a drug cocktail called The Blue Cauchemar with predictable results and ends with Nazz castrating Double Dee for no reason. Still the combination of weird subject matter, uncomfortably straightforward plot, the choice of words and occasional spelling and grammar mistakes definitely makes this fic quallify as So Bad It's Good.
  • William Country. An otherwise decent Total Drama Island fan video that has several bizzare sequences with no relation to the plot, such as Cody smoking or two wholy beavers eating everybody before humping with a rap-ish song playing in the background. Also of note, the main plot is about a romance between Cody and an OC who looks almost exactly like him, giving wierd Selfcest vibes. The "sleep" sequences don't help much either. The unfortunate thing about this film is that it is very difficult to find, due to it usually only being uploaded in anacronic parts, and the videos being taken down several times.
  • This little bit of My Little Pony, ahem, eroticism. It's hard to figure out whether or not it's a Stealth Parody, although the random Rocky Horror reference does raise eyebrows. . .
  • Attack of the Giant Suki. The title alone probably secures it a spot on this page. Suki gets huge, Ba Sing Se freaks out, and the villain is the Cabbage Merchant. And adding to the WTF-ness, for whatever indeterminable reason, it briefly switches to script format about halfway through each chapter. All intentional.
  • Korra in the Hood. Possibly the first Legend of Korra crackfic to ever grace fanfiction.net, written nearly a month before the show premiered. It has everything a crackfic could ever need: Korra and Naga being raped in the first chapter, a threesome between Korra, Bolin and Mako, Tenzin as an insane fart fetishist, a mecha fight between Zutarians and Equalists and Amon revealing who he really is.
  • This My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fanfic. It's apparently written by a friend of the person who posted it, and the poster claims to be just as confused as the reader, telling them to not take it too seriously, as it's probably a Troll Fic. As for the fic itself, it can be summed up with this one bit:

Unsorted/Other[]

  • Many things mentioned on Masterpiece Fanfic Theater.
  • Most of the stories that get posted on Weepingcock qualify, though not all are technically fanfiction. Special mention, however, goes to this one, which is reminiscent of My Immortal.
  1. "Master Chief" isn't a true name — it's a military rank.
  2. if he writes more than one chapter
  3. Sadly, the latter pairing is never mentioned again
  4. Except in the linked part. Duncan gets voted off, yet he returns later as an even biggerMarty Stu
  5. Mentioned on the So Bad It's Horrible Fan Fic page.
  6. Apparently, the author thought that making Keith recite the lines of Voltes V's villain Prince Heinel is a good idea.
  7. The most egregious example would be Prof. Sakunji's Sadist Teacher Jerkass tendencies cranked Up to Eleven.
  8. a French, kick-based martial art
  9. Granted, it's a tambourine class, but still
