Guilty Pleasures

Rubber dinghy rapids, bro!
C'mon, everyone's got one. A show, film or band that one just *shouldn't* enjoy, for a multitude of reasons. And yet, you still adore it regardless.

I'll get the ball rolling by professing my love for Primeval. It practically DEFINES the meaning of the phrase "Monster of the Week". It's got cheesy dialogue (see: anything involving Danny Quinn), spunky sidekicks (Connor and Abby <333), token minorities (Sarah Page) and a severe case of OTT (again, see: anything involving Danny Quinn).

And yet, I can't seem to stop watching it. For heaven's sake, it's got DINOSAURS. And wide-boys in helicopters chasing T-rexes. It's like the pretend games I used to play when on holiday in the New Forest where I'd be shooting giant lizards with guns (the excessive use of the southern English countryside for filming also rubs me up the right way :D).

So, what about you guys?
 
it's not really a guilty pleasure to me, but i'm sure most music snobs/hipsters would condemn what japanese music i still have on my computer (eri nobuchika, mondo grosso, genki rockets, takagi masakatsu, etc).

i kind of have a soft spot for the herbie sequels, also.
 
STUPID ANIME/MANGA SERIES I LIKE: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Pani Poni Dash!, Pokemon Special, Death Note (prior to spoiler getting spoilered and dying horribly)
STUPID VIDEO GAME SERIES I LIKE: Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, Suikoden, Spyro (first three)


Do I actually feel guilty about any of these? Hell no. But they're stupid and I don't mind saying so. IF YOU DISAGREE then I will laugh at you
 
I like the Pokemon movies. I detest the anime, but I always try to catch the movies. Despite the cheesy out-of-step dialoge I can't seem to pass up a chance to see a legendary Pokemon in action. X3
 
Twilight.

Not the film though, I think it was fairly decent as far as films go. But considering that the film was a lot more enjoyable than the books and the film's still not amazing, it doesn't say much about the books.

And I feel guilty for liking some of the cheesy pop stuff on the radio sometimes - Lady GaGa, Kelly Clarkson etc.
 
Probably Lady GaGa and Katy Perry are the only crappy pop people I actually like. (except I don't really feel guilty about liking them.)
I do however feel guilty about staring at hot guys and their packages all the time.
