Okay, so what shows and movies do you enjoy that are either bad or just corny?
I enjoy ghost hunters and Ghost adventures.
The Final Destination films
Horror films in general

Ghost Hunters! YEAH!
Pretty much any other ghost show, like Celebrity Ghost Stories, My Ghost Story, A Haunting, Paranormal State....
the movie Mystery Men, and the Mupphet movies.

I love B-horror movies and bad-acting ones, especially those with gory ones. Whether it be The Final Destination films, 80s Horror movies where they have a bunch of teenagers with no standards, etc.

I watch The Soup - it allows me to watch trashy reality TV without watching trashy reality TV. Not only that, but anything where train wrecks and drama are occurring and people are pointing and laughing: sporkings of bad fanfic/literature, anything MST3K-ish, meltdowns on blogs... Yeah, it makes me sound like a sociopath, but there's something about it, like an "at least I'm not them" feeling.
Power metal is awesome too, the kind with a million guitar and organ solos where the lyrics are all "DRAGONS and PAIN and SUFFERING and I READ A LOT OF FANTASY NOVELS."

WWE Raw and Smackdown, as well as TNA Impact for me. And I love any movie in the "so bad it's good category".

Indeed! God bless those Germans and their ability to make compound words out of anything.
Schadenfreude is a wonderful thing]obnoxious music[/URL]. Failures and commercial flops fascinate me, and seeking them out is yet another guilty pleasure of mine.

That movie was okay. It had the potential for better acting and special effects.

I would have said this for the longest time (About Twilight being a guilty pleasure)
Now I just enjoy laughing at the acting which is in a sense a pleasure XD.
But oh my, how I loved those books a few years ago. *Sigh*

Lol, so I'm not the only one then? In all honesty I don't understand why the movies get so much hate when I think the books are a thousand times worse. I originally saw the first two movies then I finally decided to read the books because my friend kept urging me to and then my neighbor basically gave me the books. In least in the movies you don't have to hear, "OMG EDWARD IS SO AWESOME AND HOT AND GOD-LIKE, I WILL DIE IF HE EVER LEAVES ME! LOL!" Every five seconds. Twilight grated on my nerves because Bella kept mentioning how 'hot' Ed is. I actually yelled shut up out loud once. Then when I read New Moon I was irritated by how she acted like everyone else she cared about was dead and the world was ending just because Edward left her. I thought the movie was a little over dramAtic, the book was waaay worse. It was seriously a whole book of, "Waaaah! Edward left ME! I'm dead inside! It doesn't matter my dad and my friends are still here for me, love me and are seriously worried about me! Waaaah!" I haven't read Eclipse or Breaking Dawn yet so I can't speak for them. Anyway, yeah...I just like the movies a lot more for the above listed reasons. Wow...that turned into a pretty long rant. Sorry everyone. 0.o

i do believe thats why its a guilty pleasure. Its a absolute cheese fest of mediocre acting and effects but its one of the funnest movies i have ever seen. Adding that to my list as well. Also i am a married man and i have add Glee to my list, its just a funny little show, the comedy has been bland recently but it stills a fun show.

Kudos to powermetal, although my guilty pleasure would probably be folk metal.
Also romance fanfics, yes even the crossover ones.

Fixed.
I enjoy some melodic death metal, but lately I've been getting into Prog metal like Anubis Gate and Opeth.

I think you're right...maybe I don't listen to it enough even though I listen to hundreds of times a day

Guilty Pleasures: Listening to certain songs....that are catchy.....like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyupP2LxbZIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdcHzquaMh8&feature=relmfuAlso, I like 70's, 80's, and 90's music sometimes...>.> 20's, 50's and 60's stuff can be good too. I like show-tunes and jazz...and funny stuff like these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M30g3In8aohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1Ugqh471IESometimes I listen to songs of artists I don't typically listen to. Such as Lady Gaga (I like the beats to some of her songs. Telephone is one of my favorites..>.> and Paparazzi...and Poker Face and Bad Romance and Just Dance (but I tend to only listen to those instrumental, because I don't really care much for the lyrics. ^^;)
Katy Perry....that song Firework I LOVE, and Hot n' Cold can be kind of fun. For some reason I find the song Disgusting by Ke$ha catchy, and Miranda Cosgorove's song Kissin' U kinda cute.
As I said before, I love show tunes and jazz, and watching old musicals and plays. I especially like Rodger's and Hammerstein's stuff and most Disney stuff. And did I mention...Winnie the Pooh and Sesame Street?

All "The Fast & The Furious" movies. They're badly written, mostly poorly acted, and are completely over-the-top unreal. But I do love them so.

HiMYM is about a guy (by the name of Ted) that tells his children how he met their... well their Mother
but he tells them EVERYTHING, so every girl he dated, every friend and every big story of his life, so he knows he's not skipping anything
his story is about trying to find a wife, his friends have different thoughts on life
Barney: Get every girl on the planet to sleep with him, he is very attached to people, as long as they're not girls (excluding his family members and the two girls of the group Lilly and Robin)
Marshal and Lilly: marshal and lilly are Ted's married friends and their marraige is very strong, but they fight about very strange things, marshal is a corparate lawering that wants to go into enviromental lawering, lilly is a kindergarten teacher.
Robin: Canadian (like me
), she used to be a pop star from Canada (eh!) and came to the states to get her duel citizenship, she tries to focus on her career as a news reporter.
