''Bad Kensaku'' format and style is similar to [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mad MAD]. It features a montage of extremely graphic content, [[creepypastas]], [[screamers]], and horror material playing simultaneously in a split-screen format, while the song "[[wikipedia:Bad Apple|Bad Apple!!]]" by [https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Alstroemeria_Records Alstroemeria Records] (featuring [[wikipedia:nomico|nomico]]) ~~play~~ throughout the ~~session~~. Every five to seven seconds, the compilation suddenly changes, and new set of clips ~~appear~~ on the screen covered in [[wikipedia:mosaic processing|mosaic blur]], repeating this pattern until the song finishes. Other ~~formats~~ feature alternative ~~layout changes~~ and multi genre tracks while maintaining the core format, keeping the original "Bad Apple!!" song clearly audible. The trend also ~~bares~~ resemblance to [[Monkey Sugar]] and not to be confused with MDPOPE.
