History Main / NarmCharm

** And don't forget KateBush.

*** Also, because of the [[NeverSayDie habit of ignoring most FATAL things]] a lot of issues were changed. Even though, by the time of a certain episode beginning to explain the plot, the season finale has occurred in Japan. And literally only 2 people STAY dead. [[spoiler:Rex and Rudger/Roman Go(o)dwin, the XanatosGambler and [[TheDragon Dragon]], essentially.]] So to protect the children, the plot got so warped that they got a new "Shadow Realm" in "The Underworld."

* In the first episode of the second ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'' series, Yugi summoning Exodia is narm charm enough. Then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VjYw896qW4&feature=fvw watch the uncut video]], especially past 3:00.

** The dub of the squeal series ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' generally consists of general old Narm. One exception is when a character steals Yugi's deck and begins imitating his voice. We get an voice actor who is usually a LargeHam imitate Dan Green. And it's awesome.

*** Him screaming "[[TheKhan KHAAAAAAN]]!" seems like {{narm}}, unless you remember what [[StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Khan]] said to prompt that.

* [[TwoWordsObviousTrope Two words:]] '''WeissKreuz.''' Genuinely interesting characters with great characterization, (that was shot to hell in Gluhen, but whatever) [[InsaneTrollLogic illogical]] plot points, SoBadItsGood animation, SoCoolItsAwesome cinematography, music that ranges from forgettable to awesome, RuleOfCool villains, [[YouFailBiologyForever impossible]] [[YouFailPhysicsForever unrealistic]] [[YouFailLogicForever stuff,]] epic voice acting, ridiculous/awesome facial contortions, RuleOfCool weapons for Weiss... WeissKreuz is awesome.

** YourMilageMayVary HEAVILY, as a very apparent unwritten rule for QC applies here, "every strip must have a funny". This entire sequence is so ludicrous that the strip arguably JumpedTheShark, if it had any appeal left after page upon page of Pintsize.

* Jewel has a lot of this, especially in her debut album.
* Vitamin String Quartet runs on this. They specialize in violin covers of popular songs, ranging from the predictable "My Immortal" to "Through the Fire and Flames" and "Animal I Have Become" ([[FlatWhat What?]]). This should be totally cheesy. And yet...it's not.

* ''{{MST3K}}'' employed this with several scenes that make fun of shmaltz and over-the-top acting. See if you can listen to "Clown In The Sky" without getting a tear in your eye.

*** Hell, YuGiOh in general seems to live on NarmCharm. Moreso in the dub, but also in the original. It seems that if any series wants to be taken seriously, then it helps if they have an arsenal of over 100 episodes of character development and relationship building by the time they get to the soul stealing and the screaming pharaohs. (Not that YGO wasn't Narmy from the outset...)
*** Only in YuGiOh is every single battle a tutorial.

** In the second sequel series ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}}'', the English dub always has to remove stuff. Naturally, they edit out weapons, text, add horrible puns to what should be relatively serious dialogue, but the main reason I still watch the dub simply because the Narm is so goddamn concentrated that it must be intentional. In one scene where the main character Yusei is in a motorcycle accident, when his friends go to help him he visibly has shrapnel sticking out of his chest. But not in the dub, no.They edited it out, and added the cheesy "Augh, my gut!" line instead. They turned what was supposed to be internal bleeding into "Thanks, Pepto Bismol!"

* ''LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike is a deeply silly show pretending to be a deeply serious show. Somehow, this works.]]

* In the middle of [[FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Wilt's]] Cluster BigNo in "Where There's A Wilt There's A Way," he throws in a teeny, tiny little '''"NUH-UH!!"''' for no apparent reason. This never fails to make me giggle, nor does it distract from the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesomeness]] of the scene.

----> "It's just a city, the whole thing, one big, huge, really big city. It's ''[[SingleBiomePlanet all]]'' city."

* ''[[MemeticMutation It's over nine THOUSAAAAAAAND!]]'' Anyone who ever claims to have hated ''DragonBallZ'' ironically is probably a liar. More likely, they stuck through all the grunting, [[{{Filler}} multi-episode power up scenes]], and ridiculous voice acting both because it was [[RefugeInAudacity part of the appeal]], as well as knowing they'd get to witness something genuinely awesome in the end.

* {{Megadeth}}. Dave Mustaine's lyrics can be really cheesy and silly (''Peace Sells'' and ''So Far, So Good'', for example, or his {{Breakup Song}}s), and let's not forget his nasal, Donald Duck vocals, but their music is so face-meltingly awesome and EpicRiff-laden (not to mention epic solos!) it makes one think if they're using it to [[CompensatingForSomething compensate for the words and vocals]]...

*** In particular there's the episode ''[[WhamEpisode Chains of Command]]''. Picard's dragged out, thick-tongued "THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS!" just wouldn't have worked in any other time or place, but given that it came at the end of one of the most [[NightmareFuel horrifying demonstrations of torture and cruelty]] to ever be aired on daytime television... let's just say if anyone can pull it off, then PatrickStewart can.

* The first VampireHunterD movie. Hell yes.

* In [[TheMelancholyOfHaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi Suzumiya]], many examples result from [[GratuitousEnglish Engrish]] for English-speaking viewers.

* {{Fullmetal Alchemist}}. Father's expression are often over the top, but he's still the main source of HighOctaneNightmareFuel of all the series.... [[spoiler: especially when he looked pregnant of Hoheneihm after having just absorbed him... but his OneWingedAngel form was '''''absolutely terrifying''''']]

*The end of [[TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Rocky Horror]], especially the antimatter ray (and pretty much that entire scene). Although, the the movie is a tribute to B-movies, which, along with its massive fan base, is the reason for its charm.

*Most of the werewolf scenes in the 2010 remake of "The Wolfman," starting with their decision not to change the werewolf appearance from the black and white original.

* TheMummy. All three of them. Largely due to John Hannah.

* The {{House}} episode ''5 to 9'' [[DayInTheLimelight focuses on Cuddy's]] position as Dean of Medicine. She suffers a stressful day of fighting with medical insurers, a sociopathic medical technician, and (of course) House's antics (not to mention, getting called a "bitch" by every character possible). When the medical insurers cave and agree to her "outrageous" medical costs, she has a [[BigNo Big Yeah]] complete with the camera pulling back to show everyone in the lobby react. The rest of the episode features a montage of an abundance of good things happening to Cuddy- it comes off like a commercial for Prozac. But the events of the episode were so stressful on Cuddy, you don't mind how corny things get at the end after she [[EarnYourHappyEnding fought hard for her victories.]]

* Anything by Manowar. ANYTHING.

* WilliamShatner's duet with Joe Jackson for the song Common People. It's SoBadItsGood taken UpToEleven. Watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKbt3wRsZYw here]].

* Heavy Metal fans can simultaneously celebrate Dio's "Holy Diver" as a great old-school Metal standard, while realizing that the lyrics make no sense and and the music video is ridiculous in a SoBadItsGood way.

* In SonicTheHedgehog 2006, Mephiles is given some pretty bad dialogue, but DanGreen manages to make it work.
** Most ''Sonic'' dialogue falls under this. This narm is awesome narm. (Especially SonicAdventureSeries narm.)
**''Sonic AdventureDX:Director's Cut'' does this in Sonic's final boss battle. (GET A LOAD OF THIS-GET A LOA-GET A LOAD OF THIS, etc)

* ProfessorLayton and the Diabolical Box - especially the climax and TheReveal. There are at least two extremely lackluster voice actors; there's a fair amount of melodrama; and if you're smart enough to have played through the game to this point, then you're smart enough to spot the plot holes. [[TearJerker And you'll still bawl your eyes out.]]

* TalesOfSymphonia: After Lloyd gave her so many speeches about what you are not changing ''who'' you are, you're still you never mind [[spoiler:how much of your humanity you lose]], Colette reciprocates and reminds him he's still the same Lloyd, never mind [[spoiler:[[YouShouldKnowThisAlready who his father is]].]] You've had about a hundred of those speeches by then but it's still touching, especially given the situation and Lloyd's current HeroicBSOD.

* Kinda the whole idea of ..FreedomForce''.

* [[http://www.nuzlocke.com/?p=4 Nuzlocke's]] comics are designed to be way too over-the-top and silly to be taken seriously, but due to the nature of the challenge it's hard not to feel something for the guy whenever a Pokemon dies.
