I really like 'Alvin and the Chipmunks 4: The Road Chip', at first I was watching it ironically until I realised that it was somehow actually funny. It's a combination of unintentional humour (like how they could afford to hire the guy from LMFAO (pictured) to have a two or three minute speaking role as himself and to promote the film but couldn't afford to have him play any of LMFAO's actual music), rubbish intended humour that's become ironically funny now that the films been out for half a decade and is quite dated (theodore twerking to baby got back) and jokes that were funny in of themselves all along (the chipmunks getting put on a no fly list as suspects in a terrorist attack).

Somehow the film manages to pull it all off and actually achieves its aims despite it having the lowest budget of all the films and seeming the most like a cynical last ditch cash grab made just before the 'franchise' became entirely irrelevant.

So what garbage tier films do you really like?

    I wanna say Shoot Em Up but it does succeed at being a hilarious pseudo-parody of action films.

    I hope you're not just another pussy with a gun in your hand...

    PAUL GIAMATTI: Oh no, sir. I'm a tough guy... with pussy in my hand.

        There's a literal sex scene-shootout where the main protag is fucking Monica Belluci and she's moaning in orgasm as he shoots like 20 guys in the head. It's great fun.

        A promotional video for the film was released on YouTube in which the company claimed to test a bulletproof stroller by shooting at it with a submachine gun while a baby was in it. The baby was then removed from the stroller unharmed. The hoax campaign was taken seriously by global media and the blogging community; Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest evening tabloid, carried the story on its online edition for some time.
