crappy stuff you love
mine:
McDonald's Sausage & Egg Biscuit
Mmmmmmmm. The sausage actually tastes like it's real sausage, the egg is lite and fluffy and NOT that horrible Egg McMuffin concoction, and the biscuit itself has a nice, crumbly texture to it that's just right. Yeah, it's a fat bomb but I don't care. These things are delicious.
Do Ya Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart
I don't care that most feel this song is the nadir of Stewart's long and illustrious career, I love it. The guitar lick, the bad 70's synth-pop scales, and the chorus is perfect. And the video with Rod in spandex only makes it better.
Deep Impact
Usually consigned to being the 2nd best Earth-will-be-destroyed-by-a-giant-meteor movie of the late 90's, Deep Impact always gets me choked up. Not only does it have young lovers Elijah Wood and a jailbait Leelee Sobieski consummating their teenage marriage tastefully offscreen (darn), but astronauts Robet Duval, Ron Eldard and Mary McCormack cracking jokes and telling their significant others how much they love them before bravely sacrificing their lives for Mankind. I eat it up every time.

Re: crappy stuff you love
Dom I am very much in accord with your thoughts that Deep Impact > that Liv Tyler/Ben Affleck crap-fest.
For me:
The Mummy & The Mummy Returns: Stupid action flicks that deliver. Plus Brendan Fraser. More awesome than you can shake a stick at.
Bright Eyes: Maybe at heart I really am just a whiny emo kid.
The Baconator: Terrible, terrible marketing ... yet every time I bite into one I'm just overcome with joy.
I don't want to just rip your music/movie/food trio so I'll include
Tom Clancy's: Net Force Series: Much like The Mummy it's just unrelenting action, set in a world in which we interface with our computers through virtual reality, while a special, elite force keeps us all safe from hackers and computer-terrorists. Also there is a requisite that one in every three chapters (and the chapters are like two pages long) end in some sort of tawdry, harlequin-esque sex scene.
My college's basketball team: Last year 10-21, 4-14 in conference with 5 and 8 loss stretches in conference, and trust me this isn't the damn ACC.

You’re talking about the song from the film Watership down? God that movie traumatised me who thought that was suitable for children? I still can’t watch it with out weeping like a little girl.

Re: crappy stuff you love
Hot dogs! Lots of mustard, just a bit of horseradish if available, and onions. Some of you puny Americans don't understand the greatness of sauerkraut, but one day it will take over your world, and you will be sorry you were mean to it! It raises the hotdog to heights of crushing dominance over mere mortal sandwiches.

Re: crappy stuff you love
Turkish Royals aren't a crappy cig, but cigs are crappy for you. Wish I didnt like them so much.
I love M&M's. They are so good for a chocolate dessert after lunch.
Zours. By far the most amazing candy ever made. Its like a sour mike and ike, if mike and ike was made from the joyful sweat of Jesus Himself, if he were to try one of these tangy tart pieces of wonder.

Re: crappy stuff you love
Great big greasy cheeseburgers.
Miller Lite Beer.
Egg McMuffin - Perfect hangover food! Sorry Dom.
Cooking eggs right in the bacon or sausage grease!!!
Auctions
When I was in HS I built this "Light Box" for my room. It was basically a plywood box lined with tin foil, had a couple of rows of Christmas tree lights and the front was the plastic panel that is used with overhead florescent lights. It was painted black and looked hideous. But when you turned it on the lights made a cool shape against the plastic front and the random blinking somehow always synced up with the music that was going on the stereo. I would turn off the room lights and play music and just stare at the crappy thing for hours. That thing was crappy as hell but I just loved it!

Were funny mushrooms consumed, or marijuana smoked while watching the lights, fish?

Believe it or not I have never, ever done shrooms. There may have been a little Ganja once i was out of the parents house but mainly beer, cheap wine and brooding teen angst!

Neither have but my friends have and i dont think i will do any after their stories. I guess one of my friends was tripping hard, and thought someone was trying to break in their house, and that one of the other guys had 4 eyes and was being eaten by the couch. He proceeded to stand up, and scream "THE COUCH IS EATING ANDREW, SOMEONE STAB IT!"

Re: crappy stuff you love
Lots of stuff mentioned already similar to things that I love.
Dominic mentioned McDonald's sausage biscuit with egg. My personal McD's fave is the Sausage McMuffin with egg. I love hot dogs, but strangely I am a freak and prefer the ones that are boiled a la the NYC street cart dogs (not that I dislike dogs cooked by alternative methods).
I love Turkish Royal cigarettes though I don't really smoke any more. When I smoked, they were a bit too strong to be my regular cigarette, but I would smoke one on occasion since they tasted so good.
And someone mentioned Coors Lite. I love Bud Light. It's basically alcoholinated water, but I drink it, and I love it, usually after a long day. Probably because it doesn't take as much energy to taste and enjoy as good beers do, and it's also not as filling. It's basically the same as drinking a long tall glass of ice-cold water, but with the added benefit of an alcohol buzz.
