So Bad It's Good can be popular to the point that a whole fandom can arise out of a mocked work. This is the magic of Camp, in that even if the writers weren't trying to be tacitly absurd, it's still possible to get a lot of laughs out of it if the writing is bad enough. This is, to a great extent, a incredibly subjective trope. Note that the perceptions listed here are general perceptions of a work as a whole. Contrast Narm Charm. This trope is the lack - more specifically, the loss - thereof. Also see George Lucas Throwback, which may or may not result in one of these.

  • So Bad It's Good can be popular to the point that a whole fandom can arise out of a mocked work. This is the magic of Camp, in that even if the writers weren't trying to be tacitly absurd, it's still possible to get a lot of laughs out of it if the writing is bad enough. Sometimes, though, a copyright holder will try to fix the image of the So Bad It's Good franchise by trying to give it a Reboot. The purpose being, hopefully, to make what once was Camp serious drama. When this falls by the wayside, the viewers get a poor result. The show is no longer So Bad It's Good, but now it's So Okay It's Average. In other words, a thorough "meh". Still bad, but not so bad that it's fun to mock anymore. This trope is only for fans who honestly felt the original sucked So Bad It's Good. If the fans didn't think the original sucked, or if they honestly liked features that were removed on their own merits -- or if nostalgia means that they just hate change -- then that belongs under They Changed It, Now It Sucks and Nostalgia Filter instead. This is, to a great extent, a incredibly subjective trope. Note that the perceptions listed here are general perceptions of a work as a whole. Contrast Narm Charm.
