What's the oldest piece of media that has been perceived by its contemporaries as "so bad it's good"? How old is this phenomenon?
The Shaggs comes to mind, but I'm sure there must be older, literary, examples.

That's a good question. Had never thought about that.
Something that comes to mind are the kind of knights stories that Cervantes makes a parody of in Don Quixote. I'm literally pulling this out of my ass, but I think there's some chance that if asked about these kind of literature he could have said that he enjoyed some of that because "they're so bad it's good".
