Family Guy: Blue Harvest (2007)
While fans of the show may find some value in this Star Wars spoof, series newcomers will want to toss this DVD into a drainage ditch far, far away. A few good gags aside, the art of comedic timing eludes this parody entirely, leaving you with a painful, funny-shaped void.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
B-team cast meets a positively rancid script as a young fellow grows up by outdriving the Yakuza. Pointlessly circling inside a packed four-story garage at night is usually called “trying to find mall parking on a Saturday,” not drifting. Alternatives to this flick: American Graffiti or coasting into a lake.
