Quite possibly the greatest movie airs tonight on SyFy.

In this time of loss laughter can truly be the best medicine, and what better way to laugh than one of SyFy's awful direct to television "movies" that truly embrace the dumb.

So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Sharknado.

In addition to that wonderful trailer I also give you a couple of glowing (probably because the people writing them were born in Chernobyl) reviews from the NY Daily News and the LA Times. If you can't wait to see what massive stars will be gracing the shit brown screen here is the IMDB page.

So. Sharknado. I'll be watching it. Will you? Check your local listings and get in on the fun. I think.

I've never seen any of these sorts of movies, but after that trailer I'm totally gonna watch it tonight

Dude, go watch Sharktopus. It's equally dumb.

I don't know how they do it, but it's unbelievable. That Battlestar money seems to have gone a long way.

He cut that shark in half with a chainsaw!!!

Ok im sold!

Who the hell signs off on this stuff? Is the Sci-Fi head guy just a massive troll?

It's good to know that even when flying through the air, sharks still maintain their predatory instincts.

food>breathing

Oh dear god D:!!!!! This is so dumb!!!!! Too bad I dont have syfy tho :/

I saw that thumbnail or whatever you call the picture before you press play, and just immediately broke into laughter. Oh god, what the hell.

I sort of hate how self-aware these things have become now. I preferred it when syfy seemed to really believe these were decent b-movies. Mansquito anyone?

Can you say "chainsaw shark chopping" five times fast?

I don't have cable but if I did, there would be very little in this world that would cause me to miss this. I generally don't like "so bad it's good", but this is exceptional.

Best executive ever. Amirite or amirite?

The fact that things like this get made, constantly, is a blessing on our very lives.

I KNOW!

Sounds like the perfect movie for my dad. He always loves those terrible SyFy original movies.

That is amazing! I need to find this in the UK.

I thought I seen it all, but apparently I haven't. This goes beyond stupid, this is a new type of stupid. You know what I'm out..

I guess you could say that they... jumped the shark!

Can it really top Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus?

Oh god, I am gonna have nightmares after this.

Yo that shark had mad skill LMAO!

I thought, before watching the trailer, "Okay, the name is insanely funny, but there's no way that this could live up to it"... I was so wrong. Holy shit, that was the best trailer. Now I have to watch this movie. Bless you, SyFy, for embracing the dumb like nobody else can.

I sense a very fun SyFy movie thread coming. There are combinations that they have not come up yet...right?

Here's Mansquito for those of you interested in that as well. It's more cringe worthy than funny just because of how serious it takes itself. It's as if they were expecting Oscar's.

Well, so long as it has sharks it's fine. It's SyFy. It pretty much has to have sharks now. Like a Jurassic Park movie where the dinosaurs have shark heads instead of their actual heads... wait...

I'm. A. Fucking. GENIUS!

EDIT: AND AND AND THEY CAN CALL IT JURASSIC SHARK! Oh my God!

God dammit! Why did I cancel my dish subscription!? Tell me this is already on DVD somewhere. It needs my money and I need to see this film.

That guy who says 'It's time to leave Kansas, mate' at 0:52 looks like future Channing Tatum if his career bottoms out and after a 10 year coke habit.

Also if anyone is interested in another 'classic'...Super Shark Attack.

No thank you.

I'm going to watch it but it seems like they are trying a little too hard to be awful. I think Sharktopus will be the best out of the awful movies.

Also anybody remember this one. Sad thing is that it was a major Hollywood movie, and it was just as bad as some of these SciFi/SyFy movies. I give you Deep Blue Sea.

Boy, aren't you just the Dr. Kevorkian of fun.

Movies that are bad on purpose don't count.

@aiurflux: Holy shit... Jurassic Shark is a great name! That has to have already been used for something dumb right? Right?...

Just looked it up. Of course it's used. Of course it stinks. Of course it's just about a giant shark instead of going totally apeshit with the creativity.

And this thread is now a kind of shark week. I guess. Needs more Transmorphers though.

It's so incredibly fucking dumb that it just transcends the abilities of the human mind to understand the greatness that is...Sharknado!

I own that movie on DVD, it was a double feature with Transmorphers. It is not good. This si seriously the only really "so bad it's good" scene, the rest is just "so bad it's really, really bad"

Also is "x+tornado" a formula now? I remember seeing trailers for "Ghost Tornado" and "Alien Tornado"

Still doesn't hold a candle to their masterpiece, Atlantic Rim.

Hey man, Ralph Garman might have a thing or two to say about Sharktopus

It's really more of a sharkicane. Don't these guys watch the Weather Channel?
