Tubi gives you a front-row seat to tons of awesome movies, underrated gems, and much more as one of the best free streaming services out there. But it also offers some unabashed nonsense for exactly zero dollars. Sure, its library has more than its share of goofy leftovers, but that's part of the charm, and hidden among those oddballs are titles so gloriously over-the-top they're actually kind of hilarious.

Not sure what we mean? We've hand-picked three of the guiltiest pleasures that you'll find on the streamer, including one that practically dares you to look away. Queue them up, grab the popcorn and let the marathon of absurdity begin. You're not going to want to miss these weird watches.

'Shark Side of the Moon'

Watch On

Commander Nicole Tress (Maxi Witrak) expects her lunar tune-up to be routine. Of course, it doesn't go as planned the instant that she sees bite marks in a rover panel. Decades earlier, a desperate Soviet experiment launched flesh-and-chrome “sharktroopers” to the moon. They grew faster, smarter and thousands of times hungrier.

As she watches her oxygen leak, Akula (Tania Fox), the sharks' queen, circles the landing craft, demanding a lift back to Earth. Nicole’s crew can scramble for the engine throttle or turn the surface of the Sea of Tranquility into a last-stand arena. No matter what you think is going to happen, you won't be able to predict it in this bonkers flick.

'Microwave Massacre'

Donald (Jackie Vernon) isn’t exactly a master chef. He’s a construction worker who just wants a bologna sandwich after work, but his wife keeps serving him dinners that look like science projects. One night, Donald snaps, and the family's brand-new, industrial-size microwave becomes his partner in crime. First course? His wife.

Turns out human leftovers taste surprisingly good. Soon, Donald is prowling the neighborhood for more “ingredients" and stuffing body parts into the microwave to satisfy his hunger. It gets progressively sillier as time goes on, which makes this flick a hilariously bad time.

'Mac and Me'

Watch On

Teenager Eric Cruise (Jade Calegory) is adjusting to a new neighborhood when an extraterrestrial crash-lands in his living room. The visitor, a “Mysterious Alien Creature” Eric nicknames MAC, was vacuumed off Mars during a NASA probe and somehow escaped from his captors on his way home.

Hiding any alien would be tough, but hiding one that drinks cola, rewires household appliances and dances at McDonald's is borderline impossible. Eric soon finds himself dodging government suits, baffling his parents and converting his wheelchair into a makeshift rocket so he can reunite MAC with his stranded family. Yeah, this movie is awful ... but it's also a very fun watch.
