This one Avril Lavigne song. I can't remember which one it is, and whenever I hear it I don't remember until about halfway through that it's Avril I'm listening to. Every other work she has done is like ground glass being shoved into my ears, and it's always depressing to be reminded that she is not 100% talentless, only 99%.
He was a boy, she was a girl; can I make it any more obvious?
No, that's definitely in the ground glass category.
Hey hey you you I don't like your girlfriend?

I listened to couple of Avril's songs just now and my ears started to bleed profusely. After I'm done masturbating I'll fire up my Britney Spears playlist for some quality music.
If you really want to get the most out of her work, you should listen to her cover of Chop Suey
That may be one of the worst things I have ever heard.
...and I admit to owning at least one Natalie Imbruglia cd.

Torque.
It is a movie about guys who ride motorcycles RIDE EXTREME MOTOREXTREMECYCLES EXTREEEEEEEEEME.
It's like giving a 12 year old boy a case of Pixy Stix and diving into his subconscious. Everything goes fast, everything is ridiculous, everything explodes, everything is CGI, physics is ignored, nothing is forbidden, everything is permitted and somehow Dane Cook manages a cameo.
It's stupid. Pants on head retarded. It is the ADHD-addled kid in the helmet of movies.
And if I come across it on cable I am compelled to watch it until the end every time.
Guilty because it's bad for me - Cheetos, crunchy style, none of that airy crap.
Guilty because I enjoy it but others don't necessarily agree (or I don't think they would): Veronica Mars and Vampire Diaries (the television series). I've also read every Star Trek novel published between 1980 and 1996.
Guilty because it's just dumb but it's too much fun to really turn down - storytelling for World of Darkness LARP players. I am only righteous because I do not wear vinyl like it's my god given right to do so. I just chat up the players to determine their own personal fears and then unrepentantly afflict their characters with how much worse they could be.
I love 30 Seconds to Mars. I think it's because Jared Leto takes his music so, so seriously. Like, he's going to save the world by filming a video about global warming on a glacier (never mind the carbon footprint required to film a music video on said glacier).
And you know the guy jerks off while looking in the miror.

Particularly degrading porn is a guilty pleasure of mine.
I think people in our general age bracket have watched so much porn, we're immune to the more vanilla stuff. Anything less than a gangbang, and we're bored.
I guess that's a bad thing, but I can't really tell anymore, seeing as I'm mostly dead inside.
If it doesn't involve shemales, farm animals, masochism, and hot girl-on-girl-on-girl-on-alligator action, I'm not interested.
Wait what? The Belgariad is awesome. I still go on a binge through it sometimes. Silk is the best character.
I think it's obvious how much I liked Eddings back in high school, but yeah, he's straight up guilty pleasure. I think the nostalgia makes his stuff oddly comforting for me to read still, but all the winking and smarmyness and "that's not the way it's supposed to happen!" keeps it squarely in Guilty Pleasure Country.
I think it's more that Eddings knew what the fantasy tropes were and just didn't give a shit, and basically pulled the opposite of a GRRM. Where GRRM defied fantasy tropes and twists them frequently, Eddings embraces them and revels in them. It's very refreshing to just read a fantasy series knowing the author isn't trying to be the next Tolkien.

I love The Coneheads, although I've been assured by the wife it's not a good movie.
I also love the original He-Man cartoons, and the old Ewoks cartoons, but that's just out of nostagia. The Ewoks might be the only cartoon series in the history of the human race where the shoddy, cheap, communist era Yugoslavian (I believe it was done by RTV Sarajevo) voice-overs might be actually superior to the original voices.
I enjoyed playing Zack and Wiki on my Wii more than a man of my age should have, given its infantility. I really enjoy playing Probotector II (European version of Super Contra) in tandem with one of my friends, but I don't feel guilty about that at all.
We're marooned on a small island, in an endless sea,
Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
But tonight, it's heavy stuff.
I too love Tank Girl. I also think that Lori Petty is incredibly sexy, voice in particular. (Has she been in anything good?)
However, for my part I will see your Tank Girl and raise you
which I love even more.... especially the synth soundtrack. As in, I genuinely think it has a catchy and fitting theme which I am humming right now.
The first album I ever bought was by B*Witched and I own the entire Forever Knight series on DVD (canadian vampire cop drama from before Angel did that whole thing).

I generally feel no guilt in saying I like something with one major exception : Céline Dion. Especially her French stuff. Perhaps I like her so much because my mother is her biggest fan ever so I grew up earing almost nothing but Céline Dion's music. Guess i'm ashamed of it because her music is not manly at all.

Can we count crappy JRPGs as a guilty pleasure? No? We're on the PA forums?
Ok. I -love- the Kushiel series of books by Jacqueline Carey. Girl porn? Maybe. I consider them awesome works creating complex yet believable characters.

I'll add on this too. I have all of the Eddings books, and they're great, even though they're cliche. I likely should read through them again soon.
Man, whoever said The Hunger Games? You are silly. No need to be guilty about that one. Those books are 1) really well plotted and 2) darkly, darkly funny. But fell into the Ender's Game trap of being marketed as YA even though they are not.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

Ha, I like the Kushiel series too. Was seriously disappointed by the Naamah trilogy though. It didn't feel like it had the same spark that made the original ones interesting.

Completely agreed. (I've read two of the books.) They're fun books, but they lack the depth of the originals. I just re-read the two Kushiel trilogies about a month ago, found yet more stuff I missed on my first read(s).
Like, last Saturday we were going out and Wild Thing by Tone Loc came on the radio. Luckily, everyone in the car had the same guilty please and we rocked out.
Also, True Blood. I know a lot of people watch it, but explaining that god damn thing to someone that doesn't is embarrassing.

He's actually said that use of literary tropes is the written version of peddling crack. He's definitely a good guilty pleasure author - even if he did manage to set himself on fire once.
I'm actually a fan of Hall and Oates. As a 24 year old male, it probably doesn't make a lick of sense to anybody that actually liked Hall and Oates in the 80s, but I still am making my band learn "You Make My Dreams" to play at shows.
They haven't aged well though. I saw a video of them playing on Rachel Ray's talk show. It wasn't pretty.

Singing silly 80's pop songs for karaoke. One of my personal best is "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive.
Also, I enjoy watching Yugioh (in Japanese, so that makes me weeboo or something?). I played way too many card games in middle and high school so I guess I like watching the various strategies play out.

Man, no one should feel guilty for liking Veronica Mars.
The Moody Blues, either.
(Although, yeah, everything from The Other Side of Life onwards does kinda suck.)
My big musical guilty pleasure is Katy Perry. I don't like her enough to listen to her regularly, but I am always secretly pleased when she turns up on the radio dial.
I love 30 Seconds to Mars. I think it's because Jared Leto takes his music so, so seriously. Like, he's going to save the world by filming a video about global warming on a glacier (never mind the carbon footprint required to film a music video on said glacier).

But her career has definitely fallen off, not unlike Robin Tunney. Interesting note: both Petty and Tunney played minor one-off characters on House.
