SyFy has officially become the [‘Jumping the Shark’ channel](http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/12/mega-shark-vs-mecha-shark-trailer/) - but with the sort of ironic literalism only the hippest among us can really appreciate.

Anyway, in an apparent attempt to capitalize on the success of Sharknado and other Shark themed cinematic entertainment before Sharknado II hits next summer, SyFy is coming out with with gems like Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark. T[his might give you an idea of what to expect there.](http://cdn.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/mega-shark-vs-mecha-shark-03.gif)

Also Elisabeth Röhm from [_American Hustle_](http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/tag/american-hustle) is somehow in this. Her agent has some explaining to do.

Sadly, I am looking forward to this. (Even sadder, I own a DVD of MegaShark Vs. Giant Ocotopus.

Ya know this has gotten so deliberately ridiculous SciFi should hire the MST3K crew to riff on their goofy films. Bet they’d get 10x the ratings!!
