Guilty Pleasures

[Oznogrd]

So the NC Moulin Rouge made me think of this thread. What shows/music/movies do you love even though it goes against every fiber of your idea of taste to enjoy it?

Shows
American Pickers
Phineas and Ferb
X-Men Evolution
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Movies
Moulin Rouge
RENT
Shoot 'em Up
Love Actually
Night at the Museum
Most kiddy movies (kung fu panda etc)
Most jack black movies (gulliver's travels sucked)
80's-early 90s movies


Music
Alanis Morisette
Various hilarious country songs (red solo cup, tractor's sexy, etc)
Old Hoobastank
Disney Songs
Labyrinth/RENT/Various broadway soundtracks
Jason Mraz
R. Kelly Trapped in the Closet

Not much in terms of movies and tv shows, but i've got quite a bit in terms of music.Even though i've recently listened to more heavy/progressive metal a lot of hardcore, I'm still enjoying Linkin Park (old AND new, believe it or not), and some generic radio rock (still pretty big on Breaking Benjamin). Hell I even like old Paramore.

Night at the Museum

Old Hoobastank

I actually like those quite a bit. Night at the Museum 2 was actually really funny.

Freddy Got Fingered

Tom Green's Magnum Opus of horribleness. There's no way you could defend it critically, you could try calling it post-modernism or the like but that's a stretch and giving it way too much credit. Still, there's something enjoyable about the silliness of it if you're in the mood for it and the hammy acting makes the humour work.

Chicken Park

A dubbed Italian parody of Jurassic Park, only with giant chickens. Oddly enough, an Addams Family parody shows up halfway through it as well. It's incredibly stupid, but it's very funny and a lot of fun because of it.

Thought of more:

Nu-metal (papa roach etc)
Limp Bizkit
Kid Rock

Kung Pow Enter The Fist
Jackass/Tom Green in general
Viva La Bam

[Andrew]

Yeah, I suppose Jackass is a guilty pleasure when it comes down to it.

Great thread... and I'm sure I have a lot in all categories:

TV

Neighbours (and like you wouldn't believe)
Popular
The OC
Prison Break (first season was legitimately good, but the rest was laughable... although I still enjoyed it)
Veronica Mars (I'm not sure where this fits in, but I'll say guilty pleasure since most my friends hate it)

Movies

Escape From LA
xXx
Fast and the Furious
Bad Boys I and II
The Wickerman (that movie is so awful, yet so hilarious at the same time... NOT THE BEES!)

Music (here's the real list)

Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit
Michelle Branch
Poison
Hoobastank (both old and new... hate the song the Reason though)
Bloodhound Gang
Everclear
311
Paramore
Rihanna
Lady Gaga

Neighbours (and like you wouldn't believe)

Ah yes. It's infuriating much of the time as it seems they're incapable of writing sympathetic characters these days, but like takeaway and junk food you're bound to indulge yourself every now and again even though you know how bad it is.

[Kenny]

I find it's kind of become apart of my daily routine, like how people have a beer after work. I've been watching it for almost 20 years and it's just become like a daily ritual. I almost don't know what to do in that month or so it's not on. All the sudden I get an extra half an hour in my day.

Personally, I think listening to Nickelback is like fast food... except I actually eat and enjoy fast food sometimes
