00:00What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?

00:05Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for movie scenes

00:09that received a large amount of negative attention and ridicule from frequent parodies,

00:13social media commentary, jokes in pop culture, or similar teasing.

00:17Warning, there may be a few spoilers in here.

00:20This isn't real. This kind of stuff just doesn't exist.

00:2610. Mark Wahlberg Talks to a Plastic Plant – The Happening

00:31M. Night Shyamalan's sci-fi thriller about plants turning against humans

00:35received widespread critical and audience disapproval back in 2008.

00:39The criticism focused on everything from the script to the acting,

00:42particularly the performance of the film star Mark Wahlberg.

00:46We're just here to use the bathroom, and then we're just gonna leave. I hope that's okay.

00:52In one scene, Wahlberg calmly talks to a plant to let it know that they mean no harm,

00:59until he notices that it's plastic.

01:01Plastic. I'm talking to a plastic plant. I'm still doing it.

01:09Although the character realizes he's being ridiculous,

01:12the scene was funny for all the wrong reasons.

01:14It wouldn't be long until Mark Wahlberg was parodied talking to other things, such as animals.

01:19Hey, donkey, what's going on? You're a donkey. I like that.

01:24You eat apples, right? I produce entourage.

01:289. Voldemort Hugs Draco – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II

01:33During the climax of the final Harry Potter film,

01:36Draco reluctantly walks over to join the Death Eaters.

01:39It's supposed to be a very dramatic and emotional moment.

01:41Oh, well done, Draco. Well done.

01:52And it is, until Voldemort lets out a groan of pleasure as Draco approaches.

01:57It's a little creepy, and not the kind we expect from Voldemort.

02:06Even those in the crowd seem to be thinking to themselves,

02:08well, this feels grossly out of character. Emphasis on the gross.

02:13Speaking of he who must not be named, do you remember his weird laugh?

02:17Well, folks on YouTube sure do.

02:228. One on One – Catwoman Are cats good at basketball?

02:28Air Bud taught us that dogs can hoop, but what about cats?

02:312004's Catwoman seemed to suggest so,

02:34as Halle Berry's Catwoman powers essentially turned her into Michael Jordan.

02:39We aren't the only ones confused by this laughably awful scene.

02:47Many have questioned the legitimacy of the feline basketball equation,

02:51as well as a whole lot more ridiculousness that takes place in the scene.

03:02There are also plenty of YouTubers who decided to honor the

03:05terribleness of the moment with their own recuts and recreations.

03:147. Dancing Bag – American Beauty

03:17American Beauty is a great film that takes a dramatic and darkly comic look at beauty,

03:22love, materialism, and middle-class stagnation.

03:25However, as critically acclaimed as the film is,

03:28it's also had its share of mocking over the years.

03:31And we're not just talking about Kevin Spacey's presence.

03:36The scene in which Ricky shows Jane the video of the plastic bag

03:41is a special moment that captures his idea of finding beauty in the smallest things.

03:56However, it's also been seen by some as an overly pretentious scene

04:01that needs to be taken down a peg.

04:03Who better to do that than Family Guy?

04:05The series actually did an extended parody of the film,

04:08and the dancing bag was not spared.

04:25Cher isn't the only one who's ever wondered what it would be like to turn back time.

04:36For us regular folks, that question will always be rhetorical.

04:39But not for Superman.

04:41As we all saw back in 1978,

04:43the son of Krypton saved Lois Lane's life by flying around the Earth so fast it reversed time.

04:57Now, when it comes to science fiction, and especially superheroes,

05:00there's a lot an audience can accept.

05:02But the whole fly around the Earth to go back in time thing is not one of them.

05:23When you take your shirt off in front of someone for the first time,

05:26the one thing you do not want to hear is laughter.

05:29However, when Edward exposes his flesh to Bella in Twilight,

05:33that's what happens.

05:39No, not from Bella.

05:40We're talking about the reaction from many in the audience to Edward's glittering chest.

05:48Okay, maybe you can watch that scene without laughing.

05:51But what about Spider-Monkey?

05:53Robert Pattinson actually chose the Spider-Monkey line from a list he was given.

06:00Little did he know the mocking it would receive.

06:03Then again, if he thought Spider-Monkey was the best line,

06:06imagine what the alternatives were.

06:18Thankfully, Clark Kent's adoptive mother and Bruce Wayne's biological mother had the same name.

06:23If not for that one amazing coincidence,

06:26Batman and Superman would never have teamed up to destroy Lex Luthor

06:29in this highly disappointing crossover.

06:32The entire movie seemed to turn on one line.

06:48As Batman is preparing to deal the final blow to Superman,

06:51the Man of Steel utters the words,

06:53Save Martha,

06:54and that changes everything.

06:59Maybe if the movie had been better,

07:01the line wouldn't have garnered so much ridicule.

07:04But alas, it wasn't and it did.

07:17Nicolas Cage's acting style has become a thing of legend.

07:20Both good and bad.

07:22While it's earned him much acclaim and an Academy Award,

07:25it has also earned him internet meme immortality.

07:34One such scene that led to one great meme came in 2006's The Wicker Man.

07:38Actually, it came on the DVD version,

07:40as the theatrical release did not have the bee scene.

07:50But while most people have never seen the film either in theatres or on DVD,

07:55Cage's head in cage full of bees has become a widely recognized and mocked movie moment.

08:10We've all seen the movie,

08:12but we've never seen a scene like this.

08:14It's a bit of a shame,

08:15but it's also a bit of a shame that it didn't make it to the Oscars.

08:20We've all had some pretty weird dreams.

08:23Honestly,

08:23a talking dinosaur doesn't even crack the top 10 of the strangest things that have happened in ours.

08:33But nothing from our dreams has ever led to as much unintentional audience laughter

08:37and mocking as the talking dino dream from Jurassic Park 3.

08:45All the raptor says is Alan.

08:48Seeing the mouth move and hearing the words is so dumb

08:51that one can't help but be taken out of the movie for a moment,

08:54even once it's revealed to be a dream.

09:30Originally,

09:30they planned on using a real baby in this infamous scene.

09:34However,

09:34the child arrived and had a fever so they couldn't use him.

09:37They had a backup baby,

09:38but that kid never showed up.

09:40So with options A and B off the table,

09:42Clint Eastwood went with option C,

09:44a doll.

09:47Eastwood has made a lot of great decisions in his life,

09:53but using a plastic doll in that scene was not one of them.

10:00Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller did their best to make it work,

10:03but their best wasn't good enough,

10:05leading to some audiences bursting out laughing

10:07and a whole lot of mocking in the years since.

10:17This little girl needs her daddy.
