Depends on the subject and the context.

For example, a lot of things are just SO GOD DAMN BAD that they are actualy really entertaining. See Ed Woods' movies or games like Superman 64 or Daikatana. This horseshoes right around and makes them interesting and fun due to their monumental flaws.

Where as a game, movie or piece of that is just "ok", compotently made, nothing to complain about but nothing fun either is just so utterly forgetable and boring that it doesn't stick with you.

For example, possibly the most dull uninteresting game I have ever played in my life is Ninety-Nine Nights. Now there is really nothing wrong with Ninety-Nine Nights, but that's the problem. There's nothing right with it either. The music is medicore, the gameplay is generic, there is no challenge but it's not piss easy either, I found no fun glitches, it's just a blackhole of fun and ideas and imagination.

Now this game is technically several hundred times superior to games like Ride to Hell 1% or Big Rigs Over The Road Racing or Silent Hill 4 or Mortal Kombat Special Forces. But yet despite that, its so utterly uncaptivating that it's less fun to play.

I never want to play Ninety-Nine Nights again in my life but I'd gladly play MK Special Forces.

Being medicore is the last thing you want. Medicore things don't last, they don't create memories or communities, they don't make you bank. Meanwhile terrible things CAN be as fun and memorable as great things.

Seriously, check out the AVGN of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and then come back and tell me Madden 2010 is more fun.
