Remember those Burger King Xbox 360 games? Those. And just because they were memes, cheap, but then we started getting into them! We were playing I think it was Sneak King (I just now realized it's called that 'cause "sneaking" 🤦🏼‍♀️) and we were 3 hours into it, it was 1am or something, my friend had work later and had to drive home, but we were determined... Almost want to buy them again.

I have gifted Sex With Hitler 2 on many occasions. The '2' is the funniest part to me.

My friend made Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015. He explained it to me and I was like, "who tf showered with their dad growing up!?" Surprisingly the friend group was split in half on that one and it was common.

Anyway, I told him I'd grab it just have it appear in my library, but it's half fun. I remember unlocking the Inglorious Bathdads mode, thinking he was genius.

I made Diarrhea 4 as a joke. Does that count?

I bought and played many a bad game but never as a joke.

Hentai vs Furries on Steam. Exquisite game with deep lore and a narrative rich with turns and twists at every corner. 11/10 powers of friendships

Didn't buy it perse but Chex Quest.

Maybe not quite the answer to the question you asked, but I have a relevant story.

My very favorite YouTuber is named "Any Austin". (Just stay with me here.) And he has a show called "VG Wham" in which he goes to some e-store for video games (the Switch eStore, the PlayStation e-store, Steam, whatever) and purchases a game priced $2 or under and plays/reviews it.

Fully expecting it to be terrible, mind you. He does honestly review the games and gives his thoughts about them, but it's still mostly comedy content. Not generally the sort of show you'd watch to find good games to potentially buy and enjoy.

But one game in particular he clearly loved was "Radiation Island" by a studio called "Atypical Games." The episode of VG Wham in question is here. But he loved this particular game so much he streamed a full playthrough that itself is a masterpiece. And throughout he constantly flip flops from deriding it ot praising it to praising it ironically. It's like nothing else I've ever seen.

And the game itself makes zero sense, it's absolute purchased assets trash, kindof minimum viable product as a game, really just churned out in about 5 minutes for a buck. And it's evident from Any Austin's stream.

I rewatched that stream just recently and decided to go ahead and purchase the game. I'd seen it played, but didn't really know what it would be like to play it myself. I really didn't know whether it was going to be crap or awesome.

If anyone else picks it up, I highly recommend the hardest difficulty.

I haven't yet played the sequel "Radiation City." Any Austin streamed it, but didn't like it as much. I bought a copy and intend to play it at some point, but I haven't started it yet.

Fps chess - not bad really, the mechanics are but thats part of the charm

Muck - made for a game jam, fun with friends

Retail royale - ikea themed battle royale, no more than 12 players online typically

The looker - satire game based on the watcher

Leaf blower revolution - cookie clicker style idle game with more engaging mechanics. Not bad really but a time waster fs

Unturned - just a classic but still silly

Lunch lady - group survival horror game, played it once, not great

Pearphone.io - fps game where you play as a pear shaped phone with a pear logo, no comment

Peasant royale - self explanatory I think

Rust

Now, this one may surprise you, but I recently bought Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as a joke. And no, I did not pay $70 for the game. In fact, I bought it for a far more cheaper price on CDKeys since they were having a huge sale for North American/European game keys. Was on sale for roughly $16, a huge steal in my eyes. Like bro, $70 USD for this game? Yeah, no, I'm not paying that much if this game is in this state. Capped it only because I wanted to get it to laugh at it. I originally was planning to get it through the free Prime Gaming offer, but through past complications with Amazon charging us even after repeatedly cancelling our Prime subscription, I went against getting a free trial for Amazon Prime and we just ended up buying a digital Steam key.

I have been loving the game, in a very ironic way. I'm serious. I only bought the game to see how bad it truly was and to laugh at the game's bad design choices (mostly the lackluster story). I just wanted the game for shits and giggles, nothing serious. I only like the game because of how goddamn bad it is. Literally wanted to laugh out loud while I was playing through the first 2 hours. It's so bad, but hilariously bad. The story doesn't make sence, either - why was the Suicide Squad recruited by a literal FBI agent? I get that it's about the Justice League becoming evil and all, but it still doesn't make any sense to me.

Needless to say, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a guilty pleasure of mine. Because I like laughing at it.

EXTRA NOTE: In short, save your money until there's a huge sale or another free offer. God save Rocksteady.

Goat simulator. Which as we now know is pretty fun.

Goose simulator.

I bought BioFreaks for PS1 because it looked fun. I knew it would be janky and have weird physics, but it's also got a weird dystopian story too!

To be fair, I was 8 or 9 at the time, but it's an entertaining piece of shit, like Pitball (also for PS1).

Sharknado VR. Got it on sale for half a dollar. Not bad for the price. It was about what I expected and with a playtime of about 30 minutes it didn't have the time to get stale.

BTW check out this playlist (and the rest of the channel too)

I got a game where you play as a piece of bread. I think it was called Toast?

Yeah, that didn't last too long as an installed game.

Bad rats show is still a personal favourite of mine to gift on steam.

Redneck Rampage. Hot damn!

Quite a few, I'm one of those people. In fact, I could answer this question in so many different ways. The game I feel is the "prize" of my collection, though, is Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude.

I like the classic point and click Leisure Suit Larry games; I think they have a certain charm about them, and though they're drenched in sleaze, Larry in his quests for sex more often than not ends up the butt of the joke. Raunchy, sexual, but most importantly, mainly making fun of our protagonist desperately trying to get laid. The gameplay was fun too, point and click games have a certain feel that you don't see too much today. On top of all that, when the series moved into a more higher resolution art for LSL 4, 6 and 7 the series genuinely beautiful with an unforgettable style

LSL: MCL does not have much of this. You play truly horribly designed minigames over and over to progress. These range from bad to worse, and you will become the best virtual quarters player of all time by the end of it, I promise you. The comedy is reduced to 2000s boner comedy level, and it seems as though Larry (or Larry's nephew, Larry, in this case) is an unironic protagonist on a real quest, rather than failing upwards, accompanied by the constant mockery of our witty narrator. What once was a series about a hopeless sleazeball constantly petitioning and getting rejected by women out of his league got turned into a unironic college boning simulator. To top it all off, our beautiful art has been replaced by the early-2000s-est of 3D models and textures

I played it for 22 hours or so. Couldn't stop. It's like a car crash. Not only does it If any game deserves "so bad, it's good" status, LSL: MCL is at the top of the list.

For those kind enough to read my rant, here are some runners up from my shelf in which I assume you'd also be interested:

BCFX The Black College Football Experience: A college football game where only Historically Black Colleges and Universities are selectable. Only part of the game is really about football, because you also play as the band at halftime in a Rock Band-style minigame. It's such a niche game, with such a niche audience. Who probably won't even like the game because it doesn't play well at all.

Sneak King: C'mon, we all know this one. Premium, refined jank.

Fight Club: A fighting game based on the movie based on the book, where you can play as Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and also Abraham Lincoln should you so desire.

MTV's Pimp My Ride: PBG fans out there, time to represent. Basically just a minigame collection with some driving between. It did, however, teach me how to Ghost Ride the Whip, for which I am eternally grateful.

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. It was on clearance and was pretty fun to pass the controller with a group of friends

I bought Ace of Seafood, in which you can play as many kinds of fish that all shoot lasers out or their mouths at other fish.

It's absolutely baffling but probably not how you'd expect.. I found it pretty technical and demanding. It's like a very serious game where you fly F16s and dogfight and destroy aircraft carriers except everything is fish. It's Japanese to the max.

I paid about £6 for it on the Switch, did not play it enough to get my moneysworth. But I think once you hear the concept, you will never stop thinking about it until you try it, so I was glad to be able to stop thinking about it.

Among Us, Nintendo Switch, cause I had a $5 BestBuy gift card I wasn't sure what else to do with. Never even booted a session yet.

Not really for laughs because it was a Christmas gift. Donkey Kong Jr. Math on the NES. I actually played it a lot because it was fun and had multiple game modes.

Not a bad video game, but I thought I had zero chance of liking it. I bought American Truck Simulator for $2 and it's such a good zone out video with something (radio/e-book/etc) on in the background. When I'm too exhausted to think, but want to be slightly more engaged than just throwing something on TV, it's now my go to right now. I bought it on the most recent steam summer sale and have 20 hours into already. All of it on the Steam Deck.

Krzyżacy - Knights of the Cross. But then it turned out it's not only hilarious but actually also have good gameplay, so i can recommend.

Bad Rats frequently goes on sale for $0.25 and is somehow worth less than that. But it's become a meme to gift it to our friends

Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. Best game I've ever played.

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death.

It’s not as bad as I expected.

Sonic '06

House of the Dead: Overkill on the Wii.

Genuinely has a great (and hilarious) soundtrack.

My friend and I saw an ad on TV for Dance Central for Xbox 360 and the kinect. We had a good laugh. He ended up buying it for me for Christmas. For the joke, we played it and next thing you know, I mastered most of the dances and they are legit. Definitely up'd my dancing game at the club.

I haven't done that yet but, give the opportunity, I would buy the hell out of a rerelease of Overblood. Rented it back in the day and it was terrible in all the best ways.

When I was in high school I saw a game called "Prison Tycoon" in a shopping mall Babbages and bought it for my brother as a dumb Christmas gift. I was in the store with a friend and we were kind of in shock. I remember my friend making a comment like "The box cover is just a cop beating a black man with a baton, how many people are involved in getting a game stocked by shopping malls?"

Shhh, I downloaded a ROM.

Drakengard. Good lord. What a game. Just.. just watch a video.
