Let's just say that even unborn babies enjoy Doritos too… It's better to watch until the end to see exactly why.
This entire Super Bowl L ad for Doritos. Later on in the infomercial they try to explain this with the revelation that Smart Pipe analyzes and creates a topographical map of each user's anus, and how they've run afoul of "ancient child pornography laws" by scanning children, before suddenly turning political and requesting that viewers call and harass a specific congressman about it. 's "Smart Pipe" infomercial, which begins as a satire of social media and their obsession with gathering and selling personal data (in this case in the form of a pipe that goes in your toilet plumbing and analyzes your waste,) and for some odd reason begins with an announcement that the company (the entire company) is a registered sex offender. The ad mercilessly poked fun at homosexual stereotypes, then, at the end, said the ad was run past "two fags and a queer" to make sure it wasn't offensive. Featured at the end of an episode of The Gruen Transfer was an ad for 42Below brand Vodka. Supermarioglitchy4's Super Mario 64 Bloopers. This character does evil in such an over-the-top, outrageous fashion that the audience stops feeling any moral qualms, because it's so over-the-top and out of line that it becomes hilarious instead.Ĭompare Actually Pretty Funny, when even the target of the joke concedes the humor of the situation.įor the (mostly) non-vulgar variant, see Overly-Long Gag. This is also the way the Heroic Comedic Sociopath holds the audience's hearts. That they use the boys as ammo for artillery practice and make them play a game where the smallest boy is chosen as the ball, kicked and punched across the field, and finally has his head shoved in a bucket of manure to score a goal is just silly. For instance, the Boarding School of Horrors in Bleak Expectations would be abusive if the staff beat the students and deprived them of food. The Hilariously Abusive Childhood depends on this trope, piling misfortune on misfortune until it becomes so ridiculous it's funny. When it succeeds in being offensive but not so much at comedy, it's Dude, Not Funny!. When this trope isn't taken to extreme, over-the-top levels, it's mere Comedic Sociopathy. Part of the Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror. 
If this happens completely by accident, that's Springtime for Hitler. See also Black Comedy, Bloody Hilarious, Refuge in Audacity, Vulgar Humor. Of course, this form of the trope is just as subjective as the last, so be careful what you put down as an example. Still, others take the over-the-top so over the top that what was before unbelievable garbage is now heart-wrenching, adrenaline-rushing, undiluted AWESOME. Take action scenes, for example: some shows try to keep action scenes realistic in order to seem believable, while others go so far over the top that it breaks the audience's Willing Suspension of Disbelief.
This can also apply to things other than violence for funny's sake any time a little exaggeration would provoke a negative reaction, but exaggeration is fine, that's crossing the line twice. Some people just don't have a second line to cross in their minds, and will dislike any turn into sadism or vulgarity. Rather than cross the line a second time, the show makes a Wrong Turn at Albuquerque and breaks the audience's Willing Suspension of Disbelief. Shows attempting to be Darker and Edgier with their humor this way straddle the line between sadism and comedy, and it's easy to make a mistake and fall on the wrong side of the S.S.
Similar to So Bad, It's Good, but done quite intentionally. This second crossing takes the violence from sick back to funny in its ridiculous extremes. However, if a show goes far enough with its violence, it may end up crossing the line not once but twice, as it goes around the planet and crosses it again. The line separating The Three Stooges-style painful fun from outright villainous squicky sadism varies from person to person but is definitely there crossing it makes one fan's "Nyuk nyuk!" another fan's Guilty Pleasures. Thus goes the logic in a lot of comedy shows and a few adult cartoons. Therefore, more pain must be even funnier!"
