The 20 Worst Video Games are cracking me up. It's clear on pretty much all of them, the badness didn't just creep in, but was welcomed with open arms all the way at the beginning conceptualization stage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does it smell like toast?
