Sharksploitation

Sharksploitation is a subgenre of exploitation film that involves sharks or shark attacks. The genre emerged in the wake of the 1975 film Jaws and its sequels.

Other examples of sharksploitation films include the Sharknado film series (2013-2018), Deep Blue Sea (1999), Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus (2009), and Dinoshark (2010). A documentary about the subgenre, titled Sharksploitation, was released in 2023.
Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws (the book that served as the source material for the 1975 blockbuster hit of the same name), regrets how his work inspired sharksploitation in the media and led the public to see sharks as vengeful creatures. Benchley became a full-time marine activist and speaker, advocating for shark conservation for the rest of his life.

knacksploitation 

Movie that shows Irish Travellers in a good light, implying that anyone who doesn't care overmuch for knackers has simply lost their wild romantic side. Such productions typically have big Hollywood money behind them. Think more Into The West than Pavee Lackeen.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
