Worst/most comical/most embarrassing metal band

Come on, we all love our metal, but none of us can deny that there have been bands out there who have just made us either laugh or cringe, either at how bad they are or at their over-the-top attitude. What band makes you almost embarrassed to be a metal fan, would be the LAST band you would want a non-fan to point to as what's wrong with the genre?

For me, there is only one...

Their "crusade" in the eighties to "destroy false metal" had all the hallmarks of a clever promotional tool and a way to hook or sucker in naive metal kids. Their music is ok, don't get me wrong: I have some of their albums. But it's nothing amazing, and the image and attitude they displayed just made me cringe as a metal fan, and want to say this is not how we all think, dress or feel!
