Good/Terrific:
- Trolls. Everyone I know was pretty much dreading this movie especially when the teaser trailer came out and I was one of them, but mainly because Russell Brand voices one of the characters and my relationship with Brand isn't exactly peachy keen. But it eventually grew on me and I fell in love with it.
- SNL's Trump parody skits featuring Alec Baldwin.
- David S.Pumpkins. Any questions?
- Leo DiCaprio wins an Oscar.
- Sausage Party.
- Sing.
- Moana.
- Kung Fu Panda 3.
- We Are Number One.
- Zootopia.
- The new season of South Park.
- The Jungle Book.
- Season 3 of Bojack Horseman. In particular the adorable episode 'Fish Out Of Water'. I just want a plushie of that baby seahorse so badly.
- Pokemon Go. Also Pokemon Sun and Moon.
- Superbowl commercials. There are quite a few that come to mind, but the ones I LOVED the most were the Snickers one with Willem Dafoe (which also featured Eugene Levy) and the Kia commercial with Christopher Walken...because well, it's Walken. Oh and the Budweiser ad with Helen Mirren as well.
- BFG.
- Pete's Dragon.

Eh:
- Warcraft.
- Ratchet and Clank. I don't exactly hate the movie so it's not bad enough to be on the worst, but still...something about it feels more like it's based off the PS4 remake of the first game rather than the first game in general.

Worst
- The Wild Life.
- Dirty Grandpa.
- Nine Lives.
- Suicide Squad. The fact this movie got a Best Makeup win this year baffles me...I thought the Best Makeup award was for you know...ACTUAL makeup and special effects and NOT you know, the eye-shadow and lipgloss kind.
- Computer crashes. One of my recent computers crashed last year after not starting up at all, luckily I did manage to get a second one but earlier this year that one has also crashed and i'm now using this one.  By the way, none of these were my fault, they just happened.  The first one practically survived being hacked by assholes who were extorting me and hacking my profiles, but it just gave out near the end of last year.
- Ghostbusters reboot. You already know of how people were attacking this movie before it even came out, saying that it was going to stink..which it did.  Those who were doing it were accused of being sexist and even of being Trump supporters. Even one of my online heroes got bashed just because they said they didn't want to see it.  Just because James Rolfe said he didn't have any plans on seeing it means that you can just attack him and accuse him of being sexist. I mean I was against the Arthur remake with Russell Brand and said that there was no way i'd see that movie but no one ever accused me of being Russell Brand-ist or anti-brit.  The franchise itself has died with Harold Ramis, and even then...Sony just wouldn't leave it alone. I'm sorry but just because people don't like the movie doesn't mean you can accuse them of being sexist.
- Norm Of The North.
- The embarrassing Dr Phil interview with Shelly Duval. I just felt so bad for her, she clearly needed help and not in the form of that man.
- Independence Day Resurgence.
- Ice Age 5. I liked the first three but still, I think the only reason they did this was to tie in with the spaceship sighting from the first movie.
- PPG 2016. What's with the bad Cartoon Network reboot shows?
- Harambe's death. It's tragic, yes - but oh boy...the memes kind of went overboard. We get it, it's sad, can you please stop making into it a Greek tragedy?
- Batman VS Superman.
- Celebrity deaths. I believe Minty on Minty's Comedic Arts said it best when he said that if 2016 was a person, he or she would be a bloodthirsty psychopath responsible for the deaths of many beloved celebrities. Heck, I was even afraid I was going to lose one of my beloved loved ones to last year as well. That's how exactly I felt about the whole thing.
- A beloved person I look up to and admire had to go to the hospital due to an accident that caused a brain injury and I pretty much had to spend most of the summer and fall season of that year visiting him, and it was really upsetting to him looking like he was on his deathbed.
- Trump. I know quite a few people on here are sick of me trying to be political but I don't care, it's my gallery, my list and I can do and say what I want as long as it's not against the rules - and there's nothing in the rules about politics not being allowed so I shall continue to voice my opinion on this issue. And let me tell you something...the whole election of last year was a real bloodbath with no real end in sight, with both ends going off against each-other and just dishing out insult after insult. It all started in 2015 when Trump said he'd be running for president, which everyone thought would be a complete joke.  To the point that they even thought this would be an April Fool's joke or 'October Surprise' gag and that Trump would take his face off to reveal that he's been the late comedian Andy Kaufman all along (yep, that's a theory someone came up with, even the creator of Gravity Falls joined in on it with an avatar of Andy stepping out of a Trump bodysuit) - which we know isn't true because Andy practically IS dead anyway and we know that even if he was still alive, he wouldn't let you in on the joke because he wouldn't do that.  And then it escalated further last year when he ran for real...and well...let's just say his campaign was...bizarre.  It was like something straight out of an action movie. I mean you could say that the 2010 movie Machete pretty much predicted this. Heck, even Back To The Future II predicted this with Alternate 1985. Also pretty much everybody and by that I mean sane people who DON'T try to make him come across as a hero who is going to help make USA a better country (statistics don't even matter, you would have been a goner anyway no matter who wins) loathed the guy including celebrities.  I am sorry but I agree with Robert De Niro, Cher, Meryl Streep, Charlie Sheen and George Clooney -  Trump can't lead a horse to water yet alone lead a whole nation.  I mean as someone who posts responses to his outrageous tweets on Twitter...I still can't believe this actually happened.  The guy who won worst supporting actor for his part of himself in Ghosts Can't Do It becoming president? That's just insane and demented and wrong. Oh boy...and did SNL have something to say about him - definitely. Ratings for SNL were boosted thanks to their parodying of the election in general and thanks to Alec Baldwin as Trump. An impression that is so eerily similar to the real thing, it's spooky. So good in fact it got under Trump's skin several times.  Oh and South Park went all-out with their parody of him which of course was Mr Garrison. It was quite a shocking and WTF moment when he ended up winning.  I mean Trey Parker and Matt Stone had to change the ending of the last few episodes of that season due to what happened. I recall Jay Leno saying that 'Trump needs the crap beaten out of him' and also joking about him when he appeared as a guest-host on the current incarnation of the Tonight Show. You think you got it rough? It got even worse in the cases of people like me because of a character from Zootopia that was unfairly compared to him..and that character was Dawn Bellwether. Poor Dawn, having to be compared to THAT orange abomination. Ouch...*hugs Dawn* there there, it's okay...it's okay. Wow..wow, just wow. Really? Who is the idiot who thought that this man would make a good president? Oh wait...it was probably Trump himself.

Insane:
- Airborne couple making out while skydiving. I'm not kidding, a couple actually had a makeout session while skydiving, that really happened.
- Toblerone redesign.
- Youtube content rule shifts.
- Youtube drama in general.
- Social Justice and Political Correctness.
- Killer Clown sightings.
- The incidents brought on by people playing Pokemon Go.
- Where's The Fair Use?
- Trump. Just Just Trump.
The list of good, bad,  meh and insane of 2016.
