I submit for your consideration: Afternoon Delight
Tiny Tim singing pretty much anything.
I’ll see your Afternoon Delight and raise you with Brand New Key.
My daughter liked that song. When she was 7.
Perfect example of the ones I hate the most, lyrically: where they’re full of sly wink wink nudge nudge double-entendres to slip crap past the censors. For years I took them at face value, that it was about model rocketry, 2 people enjoying launching missiles into a clear blue summer sky. When I found out years later that it most certainly was not about that, I got massively pissed at the cheeky tongue-in-cheek language in question, esp. since the music itself was so mellow and inoffensive.
JUST SAY WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN, ASSHOLE!
I’m fucking her brains out in the afternoon and delighting in doing so!
There. Is that so umm err hard?
My condolences on the loss of your friendship.
Gonna find my baby gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
…
…the thought of lovin’ you is getting so exciting
Sure, skyrockets were used in the song as metaphor, but otherwise I think the song lyrics are about as clear about what was going on as ‘70s AM radio would allow.
Is there anyone who likes Highlander 2?
No, because it doesn’t exist (old board and/or internet meme).
Plan 9 from Outer Space is a very badly made movie, but it’s unintentionally funny. A lot of people like it just because of that. Robot Monster is another cult classic that’s so bad it’s funny.
On the other hand, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is just bad. I forced myself to sit through it and cringed the entire time. It’s not funny. It’s just awful.

Wikipedia has this list of movies with 0% Rotten Tomatoes ratings:
Again, I don’t recognize most of them. Ones I do recognize include Bolero, Look Who’s Talking Now!, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, and Left Behind (also in the above list).
For some reason, Leonard Part 6 isn’t in either of these lists. I include it here for completeness.
Now, now, he actually had a good singing voice outside of the falsetto put-on.
I would’ve linked “Then I’d Be Satisfied With Life” (his fine country music song) except YouTube seems to want you to “log on” when linking songs now.
Oh I am well aware of that. It doesn’t make it any less annoying and calculated.
This would get my vote.
On if your exposure is limited to “Tip Toe Through the Tulips”.
One of my favorites…
There can be only one.
a/k/a House Of The Rising Sun.
Barney and Friends.
At least Teletubbies was so weird that we could be fascinated by it for a few minutes.
The problem is, the truly awful stuff is around for such a short period of time that very few even remember being exposed to it. Case in point, on a trip to Los Angeles when I was a kid, we got tickets to a sitcom taping. The show was called “Gloria” and it was a spin off of Archie Bunker’s Place, starring Sally Struthers as a vet assistant alongside Burgess Meredith. I was surprised to just learn that it actually survived for 21 episodes (a full season). I remember that when we left the taping, we all agreed that it was a pretty awful show.
For sheer tastelessness I nominate the sit"com" Heil Honey, I’m Home!
I’m not going to describe it here as doing so no doubt impact my Social Score, but you can probably guess from the title what its ‘sit’ was.
ETA: they filmed 8 episodes but only ever showed one. Guess why.
My worst movie won the Best Picture Oscar. Birdman went from boring at first, to pissing me off by the incomprehensible ending.
