User blog comment:SnakeTongue237/Top 10 Overrated Creepypastas/@comment-25798693-20150411144103

The Statue: Agreed, the entire idea sounds extremely cliche. However, to a relatively new and inexperienced horror fan (such as myself a few years ago, this was one of the first stories I read), this story would have been considered creepy, therefore I can't quite rule it out.

Dead Bart & Lost episodes: Although most of the lost episodes creepypastas do contain certain cliche elements, and mostly aren't the scariest of creepypastas, they do tend to cast an ominous shade over popular shows. As in, you can't really ever watch Spongebob again without faintly having the Squidward's Suicide creeepypasta at the back of your head. The same applies to games' creepypastas. As such, I wouldn't say that they're overrated.

Normal Porn for Normal People: I do agree with LinebeckIV. Even though Normal Porn for Normal People should have had more sexual elements to it (for the sake of keeping up wth its title at least) and definitely had a pretty disappointing ending (with that simple mauling to death being the 'climax'), I wouldn't consider it to be overrated. Its overall atmosphere was creepy and disturbing enough. And the meaning of the videos, or the purpose of the website itself, was never disclosed, giving the reader sufficient room to ponder and scare themselves. Although not the best creepypasta ever, it is an interesting read.

BEN Drowned: As I was reading this creepypasta, I'd think that it was interesting. And it was, up to a point. After the player actually managed to get in touch with Ben etc etc etc, it became rather -forgive the adjective- lame. It was creepy all the way as the player described the game's anomalies. But Ben's whimsical behaviour and annoying attitude, which at the end of the day wasn't disturbing at all, ruined the rest of it. HOWEVER, one unique and pioneering element of this creepypasta was the video footage of the 'anomalies'. Although the videos must have been easy to make (more or less), they are this story's main attribute and the Ben Drowned creepypasta wins mor points because of the extra work put into it.
