Now that I think about it, The Wicker Man remake from 2006 is also very unintentionally hilarious, if only for Nicholas Cage's completely over the top acting. Any horror film where the main character changes into a bear suit for no apparent reason and starts punching people can never be taken seriously, lol.

Someone made a trailer of it on YouTube turning it into a pure comedy-

That was excellent! I have so far avoided watching the remake, and will probably continue to avoid it, but I will watch that trailer a few more times.

I think the best example of unintentional comedy I've seen is a Korean anime movie called Space Thunder Kids. It was supposed to be a serious anime, but it's so very awful that's it's brilliantly funny. Wooden voice acting and dialogue, terrible dubbing, mass technical problems, tanks appearing for no reason only to dissapear and never be mentioned again, and loads more. Here's some clips-

Magnus. Have you ever seen a martial arts film called Ninja Terminator? Reckon it'd be up your street:

You really need to see the whole thing. Ridiculous plot and lots of terribly framed shots - some so bad the actors are half off screen.

Made me lol a lot, definetaly my sort of thing. I'll have to try and get the full movie in the future

I like the way that Ninja Terminator clip is basically a redo of the scene in Annie Hall with the lobsters.

Sue Johanson rules. I went to one of her talks in University. I bet she's rock anyone in the sack young, old male or female.

This scene was the one that inspired Allen to write Annie Hall:

And the best unintentional comedy prize goes to: Bob Dylan and his new Christmas songs album. Check it out on itunes. Blimey out loud.

I just remembered another short piece of unintentional comedy, this from the Street Fighter animated cartoon. It's the super positive music at the end that always does it for me, lol-

I woke up too early this morning and caught some of 'Housebusters' on channel 5. It effortlessly walks the line between being the most awful TV possible, and pure comedy gold. The bit I saw had a heavily-mulleted psychic predicting that the owners would prefer to kit out their house with leopardskin rugs instead of the decor they'd actually chosen.

"HOUSEBUSTERS is a unique format that uncovers the secret life of our houses in search of the unseen forces that affect our health, wealth and happiness.
Three psychic house detectives, experts in Feng Shui, Colour Therapy, Geopathic Stress, Psychic Phenomena or Clutter Clearance, visit a house and scan for clues to the householders problem, give their analysis and then offer a solution. "

The Undateables on Channel 4 last night had some of the funniest cringe-out-loud moments I've ever seen, particularly the part when one guy earnestly decided it was a good idea to show off his muscles in the middle of his first date. Weirdly, she actually wanted to see him again, and even more weirdly, it was him who thought he could do better.

(Other parts were quite touching, but no need to dwell of those)

Loved that show

His photos were quite sexy though.

A while ago I sat through a whole episode of the BBC1 school based 'drama' Waterloo Road. I laughed almost the entire way through. The episode ended with a teacher having a fist fight with the Dad of one of the pupils in the school playground. The following week in a different episode, the episode ended with the same teacher having another fist fight with someone else in the same playground. It was more 'Walker, Texas Ranger' than 'Grange Hill'.

For anybody who hasn't seen it, the little known classic 'Titanic 2' is a must see. My whole family were pissing ourselves at it. Mainly it's a mystery why they tried to make an action movie with zero budget and only about 12 extras (who run round in circles to seem like there's more of them) It's also clearly filmed in a swimming pool. Brilliant!
