There is this show from the Philippines that has almost every single failure in filmmaking, editing, sound design and visual effects that it is a trainwreck. And I love it.
It's called Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko (My Grandma is Cooler Than You)
Since you wouldn't understand the language of the show, here are just the numerous ways of how the show fails:
- MS Paint backgrounds with The Room-tier green screen effects. Except that it makes Tommy Wiseau look like James Cameron by comparison
- Jump cuts that are worse than what was done in silent films from 100 years ago
- CGI that looks on-par with a Sega Genesis launch title at worst and a PS one game at best, to the point that you can often see the pixels and polygons. It makes Birdemic look like James Cameron's Avatar by comparison.
- Stanky MIDI music that sounds like a cheap and janky MS-DOS retro game
- Stolen sound effects from, among other things: Sonic Adventure 1, Resident Evil 1 (1996), Deus Ex 1, Metal Gear Solid V, and most infamously, John Romero's Daikatana and Berserk (2016) (no joke, one episode had the infamous CLANG from Berserk 2016 continuously playing)
- Countless stolen assets from other shows and films that it feels like a mockbuster crossover. For starters, the font for the show is stolen from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (2010) and an episode has a Spyro knockoff. It's copyright infringement taken up to eleven
- Unironic usage of Comic Sans
- Constant usage of memes and Gen Z slang that makes The Emoji Movie look timeless. Even Monsoon from Metal Gear Rising would think that this is too much memes
- More visual and audio glitches than Cyberpunk 2077 at launch
- Some scenes cannot be filmed so they had to go with using extremely cheap animated storyboards. They released an unfinished show to air on national TV. Not even the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and Sonic '06 were this unfinished at launch. Said storyboards even lag a lot even though most school laptops could do it no sweat even without a discrete GPU
- More amateurish editing than YouTube from 15 years ago
- More uncanny valley nightmare faces than Cats 2019 (since they love using synchro-vox techniques like DirtGirlWorld). Scratch that, it makes Cats 2019 look like Alita: Battle Angel by comparison
- Worse dubbing than Harvey Weinstein's localisations like Doogal
- More Engrish than a bootleg hentai DVD
- Poor sound mixing actually done on old Commodore Amiga computers, in 2023
It's made with complete sincerity and this comes from one of the largest megacorporations in the country so there is no excuse for this cheapness.
It looks like a postmodern arthouse show made to break every single filmmaking rule, a YouTube Kids' show with no quality control but on actual national TV, or the most elaborate and largest shitpost/dank meme known to man.
But no, as I mentioned before, this was completely unironic and completely sincere, and I love it.
Here is a website for all the episodes with Engrish titles (but no subtitles):

I want to see Mr. Enter take a look at this when someone translates this show with English subtitles, which sounds like a job good for me but I am quite busy with college.
This is so terribly made and I love it. I really wish this would blow up and turn into a cult meme hit.
