The "I'm amazed at how terrible this is" thread

The thing that's funny is that with some alteration, it could have been a fun kid's show. They were completely mad to think this would have worked, even ironically, for anyone over the age of 11. I wish there were more clips, yet wouldn't get the nerve to actually bother watching them. It's somewhere inbetween hilariously stupid and tragically annoyingly stupid. Still, it was a great deal more entertaining and well done than that pyramid scheme infomercial barely disguised as a game show "Shoppers Casino."

Actually, know how Don't Scare the Hare would have been interesting? If the Hare in question was Kirenenko from Usavich.

Oh wait! Never mind. I take that back. Now all I can picture is a bunch of dead contestants.

(realizes I'm the only one here that watches Usavich... oops)

Another horrifying Cringevenom find. Now, this I'd normally just dump on the "worst/creepiest Puppet work" thread (I think I may have, not that I think about it), but this is just ... just watch.

SEE?!?! It's like some horrifying alternate universe version of MST3K where one guy is all the puppets and can't come up with decent banter to save his life.

And the theme song is the narmiest thing I've heard. It makes every 1980's sitcom "uplifting ballad" theme song opening look like thrash metal.

I was going to post this in the worst cartoon of all time thread, but it is so distastefully baffling that it must be placed here.

A bit of backstory for those who never knew about this. In the 1970's, Korea traced over silent era animations for the purpose of colorizing them (and a poor job they did), all the while someone dubbed over the silence with odd sounding, completely out of place Rock and or jazz music. These were probably for cheap TV packages because this is just before the VHS era. These things were pretty awful, and some of the coloring choices were..... off. Here's an example with a yellow Felix the cat

So what happens when they took a cartoon short that already was in color and already had sound?

Well, suffice to say they took this:

which wasn't that good a cartoon in the first place, and they did this to it.

YIKES! Okay, they took a not that great cartoon (not a fan of 30's animation for entertainment value that wasn't Betty Boop or Popeye related, but that's another story for another day) and made it just...horrifyingly awkward and ghastly. The music doesn't even come close to being in the same existential plane as the cartoon, it makes things make even less sense (less sense than a 1930's "scare values into your kid via black and white morality" cartoon usually does), and the tracing job is horrible!!!! Jack Frost wasn't the best looking cartoon character out there, even in that era... but he looks even worse than the public domain VHS cover this kind of cartoon usually was on.

Yeah, I remember watching these on YT a few years back, and they're really bizarre and off-putting.

This one has to be my favorite, where the Koreans make up their own ending to this Bosko short when the print they had was missing it, which may have inspired a similar joke in the Clerks animated series years later. The look on the horse's face says it all.

And here's the original for comparison.

 

[Drtooth]

Oof. That's painfully obvious. Plus, it looks like they changed the firing pistol joke where the gun opens up to reveal a mouse with a smaller gun. They just cut to the chase there.

But yeah. Their ending doesn't make any sense. And it's sloppy as heck too.

The Oddity Archive pays tribute to cheap Public Domain home video releases. That Spanish dubbed Little Lulu cartoon is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

By the way, check out some of the OA's other videos. He covers some pretty interesting stuff.

 

[Drtooth]

Eh... those are bad. Somewhere in between the awful Malasian Dragon Ball dubs...

(which are FULLY freaking licensed and legal)

and Poland's infamous robotic narration dubs.

I find that more interesting than terrible.

I find that more interesting than terrible.

I find some of the vocalists to be terrible and off key.
