The Comically Bad Gang consists of myself, and two other guys. We’re each a highly skilled analyst in our own field, commentating on the things that are — in our professional estimations — not good.
We rate these various monstrosities based on how much time we can spend making fun of something before it gets boring!
For example, Level 1 Badness gets boring to make fun of pretty fast. It’s something that makes you chuckle and mention it to somebody, but it’s not worth dwelling on for more than a few minutes. Level 3, on the other hand, can sustain mockery and appreciation for an hour or two. And as for Level 5? That’s unforgettable. You’ll be thinking about it for the rest of your life, trying to wrap your head around it.
But don’t get confused! Something can be a really awful experience and still qualify as a Level 1. Imagine being stuck in traffic for four hours. You may be experiencing a personal hell, but how long can you make fun of it before it’s boring? There’s nothing there to discuss; no meat on those bones. On the flip side, witnessing a ridiculous one-minute incident at a pharmacy can have you talking about it when you’re old and gray!
Are you catching on yet? If not, just think of it as an “epicness” rating… But without the Turbogay™ Internet terminology.
