Bad Day on the Midway is a 1995 CD-ROM game written and directed by The Residents, animated and designed by Jim Ludtke, developed and published by Inscape.

[3] The game was optioned by Ron Howard at Imagine Television for a proposed series to be directed by David Lynch.

Even though there are death scenarios and multiple endings, the game doesn't contain any action or puzzle sequences; the player is instead encouraged to simply explore the Midway and listen to the characters' life stories.

However, each playable character does have their own objective, and the game does run on a very arbitrary time limit: occasionally a clock will appear on the top of the screen.

All tracks are written by The ResidentsSelections of music and visuals from the game would later be presented in a 10-minute video on the Residents' 2001 DVD Icky Flix.
