'der Mist' and 'der Porno' can both be used colloquially and derogatorily for something very bad or chaotic. 'Mist' is much more general in this sense and more common in everyday speech: it can mean poor quality, nonsense, or an unpleasant matter. 'Porno' is very informal and crude in this meaning. It often emphasizes that something seems extreme, tasteless, or completely over the top. Because 'Porno' also has a primary sexual meaning, you should only use it in very casual situations.
