"I didn't see you playing with your dolls again, sir."

You know the bit in "Spaceballs" where Rick Moranis is playing with action figures of himself and the other characters?

It's a really bad sign when my brain starts reading your seriously-written love scene with the heroine using Rick Moranis's "Princess Vespa" voice.

Just so you know.

Dark Helmet: [In Dark Helmet voice] And now Princess Vespa, I have you in my clutches, to have my wicked way with you, the way I want to.
[In Vespa voice]
Dark Helmet: No, no, go away, I hate you! And yet... I find you strangely attractive.
[In D.H. voice]
Dark Helmet: Of course you do! Druish princesses are often attracted to money and power, and I have both, and you *know* it!
[In V. voice]
Dark Helmet: No, no, leave me alone!
[In D.H. voice]
Dark Helmet: No, kiss me!
[V]
Dark Helmet: No! Stop!
[D.H]
Dark Helmet: Yes, yes!
[V]
Dark Helmet: Oh, oh, oh! Ohhhh, your helmet is so big!

That's the one, yes. Particularly the "No, no, go away, I hate you! And yet...I find you strangely attractive!" line.

But that's what makes it fun.

I don't really enjoy bad writing. I can enjoy deliberately silly writing, but if the author didn't know what they were doing -- if it's unconscious self-parody -- I'm going to go away and read something where the author did know what they were doing.
