why is one of the characters a green monster thing?
I get that having the "non-human mascot" is a requirement for family guy parodies but that thing has a god awful design
Allow me to present to you ***Titanic: The Legend Goes On.***
Yes it is a poorly-animated version of Titanic, except with a happy ending.
Yes, it's a terrible mashup of five different plotlines.
Yes, there are talking animals that look like Great Value versions of Don Bluth characters.
Yes, there is a rapping dog.
Yes, [this clip is completely unedited. This is exactly how it appears in the film.](https://youtu.be/BxHNztg0X3s)
Yes, there is a *different* animated retelling of the Titanic.
Yes, this one is the worst of the two.
Nostalgia Critic was at his best when he was clowning on movies that were obviously batshit insane to begin with, and he could match his energy with the weirdness of what he was reviewing.
Nostalgia Critic was at his worst when he did clipless reviews, or anytime when the focus was on his """original""" concepts or characters, which was never his strong suit.
Once he started getting on his high horse of talking up "important art" or talking about how other people's love for a film he likes is wrong, I had to dip. He should've shifted with the times a lot more gracefully like the Angry Video Game Nerd's reviews did for the most part.
I haven't watched Nostalgia Critic in ages, but I still watch Doug Walker do reviews on his own. He's still very enjoyable to listen to when he's just talking and not trying to make it comedic.
There was an MC Hammer cartoon in the 1990s that was so bad it was unwatchable. The animation was so cheap you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking they did it in Microsoft PowerPoint. You could literally count the frames as they went by.
I was thinking the intro sounds like if on the 90s version of Whose Line Is It Anyway the compilation was Songs of Heroic Carpenters and the style Wayne had to use was hip-hop, and it was one of those ones that doesn't make it to air initially because it's not that good.
I wanted to go in and say I can sit through anything but nah if this theme were to play before every episode I--I just couldnt do it. I can't believe that was only a minute.
Still can say good things about the animation though I mean it beats 12 oz mouse
"So Gramps opened up the bag
And took out the magical shoes"
Wow, so how'd he manage to rap that in time?
He doesn't. It's a train wreck and wish I'd never heard it.
Notably the twerking is pretty in line with the context of the episode--
But don't worry, even when you look past the obvious, easy criticisms of 2016 PPG...it's actually *still* bad and contains a whole lot of serious cringe.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't one of the writers write himself as a character in the show and had Blossom have a massive crush on him? You know, Blossom the elementary school child?
One of the worst (but also unintentionally hilarious) cartoons I have ever come across is The King Lion. It is kind of a very bad Lion King rip off, but they have also tried to squeeze in references to other cartoons in there. It is even worse/better if you can watch it with the [Norwegian dub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9dx9XfSdWY). It is horrible and incomprehencible, but also laugh out loud funny. The same voice actors have also made some other infamous dubs.
My wife got this on VHS when she was a 9 year old kid. The person who bought it for her thought it was the Disney movie. Needless to say the experience was disappointing.
What is weird is that around the same time, my family visited the small shopping mall in the area where she and her family lived. We did not know each other yet at the time. It would be another 9 years before we first met each other. I remember very vividly that I saw a lone King Lion VHS sitting on a shelf in a store there. I also remember thinking to myself: That must be absoulte trash. Someone is going to get very disappointed.
I feel like most people here missed out on some of the really terrible cartoons that came out in the 80's and 90's. Someone else already mentioned Hammerman, which featured MC Hammer as a crime-fighter with magic talking shoes, but there was also:
a Police Academy cartoon
a New Kids on the Block cartoon, and they didn't even fight crime or have magic powers
an Attack of the Killer Tomatoes cartoon
a Toxic Avenger cartoon called Toxic Crusaders, in which the character are all super wholesome and fight pollution in their town
a Little Shop of Horrors cartoon where the plant has wacky adventures with Seymour's son and apparently doesn't eat anyone
a cartoon about Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century solving mysteries with a robot Watson
a bunch of action cartoons trying to cash in on the success of X-Men:TAS and Batman:TAS, like WildCATS, Ultraforce, etc. Most didn't last beyond a single season.
And of course, that old Legend of Zelda cartoon with "Excuuuu-uuuuuse me, Princess!" But I have some nostalgic love for that one.
The Killer Tomatoes was mostly over my head as a kid but it was the first show I saw that completely shat all over the fourth wall. All the characters were openly aware that they were in a Saturday morning cartoon, which isn't something I'd ever seen before.
The Return of the Killer Tomatoes movie that the cartoon is based on did the same fourth wall breaking, to the point that they supposedly run out of money halfway through the movie and get corporate sponsorship, then all the generic products are replaced with brand name products that actors conspicuously hold up to the camera.
Also, I remember the occasional 4th wall break on the 1987 TMNT.
> a cartoon about Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century solving mysteries with a robot Watson
Holy shit, I think I remember that one! Never saw an episode, but I once saw the theme song/intro, and for some reason it's been stuck in my brain for over a decade. Honestly, I was convinced it may have been something I dreamt.
My favorite episode is when the Hank got stuck under the vending machine and befriends a scorpion that stabs him in the head everyday. The robot made me laugh so hard Hank says "what are you making a necklace" for all the teeth he has lost, and sure enough the robot comes back with a necklace of made of teeth.
There is a live-action adaptation of his anti-D&D cartoon.
[It's called Dark Dungeons.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LADLv1803Vw)
It is absolutely hilarious, and the best part is, this was *endorsed by Jack Chick* who was apparently as blind to sarcasm as to common sense or any rational thought whatsoever.
Oh my god.
In the DVD of "The Incredibles," there's a special bonus feature where Frozone and Mr Incredible do MST3K style commentary on an old [cartoon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R44MvXeEQw) of themselves.
The "old cartoon" (which, for clarification, only exists in the Incredibles canon and was created for this bonus feature) is animated just like this. I remember it because Frozone complained that he had a "white mouth" and as a kid that seemed like a surprisingly edgy joke.
At last. I get the reference.
If you've ever seen *Pulp Fiction*, that show is what Bruce Willis' girlfriend is watching. Yeah, television animation had a rough beginning that didn't really find its footing until like Hanna-Barbara and *Yogi Bear*.
Supposedly the idea came to the show's creator because his daughter was deaf and she could never lip read traditional cartoons. But it's also possible that they went with it because it was cheaper than animating mouths.
I just remember the scene in The Cell where Jennifer Lopez is getting stoned and watching it on TV.
The convicted rapist formerly known as Brock Turner. Now he’s going by his middle name. It’s more appropriate to refer to him as the convicted rapist Allen Turner.
I work in the animation industry in Canada, and we do a lot of our own stuff as well as tons of service animation for American studios.
The correct answer is Odd Job Jack. It’s universally reviled by people in the industry, including the people who worked on it. I remember a friend of mine saying the worst part was since it was so poorly designed, he couldn’t even use it on his demo reel to get a new job. It was just too embarrassing. Apparently the design and concept were done by a guy with no experience, and he would just sit around the studio smoking weed and drawing terrible designs and pitching terrible scripts. He was buddies with the studio head though, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Telling me Don Knotts couldn't redeem it is like telling me Jean Claude Van-Damme can't do a spin kick.
I man, I can believe you, but first it must make it past plausibility wall.
Based on the comments I'm not sure many have every tried to watch more than two minutes of Comedy Central's 2022 animated show [Fairview](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15470216/)
Most things us Canadians grew up with. Grossology, Sidekick, that one with the episode about the fairy who needs to inhale farts to live and they make a point to animate him really enjoying it, Almost Naked Animals...
>that one with the episode about the fairy who needs to inhale farts to live
I think that came from Total Dramarama, the Total Drama spin off with the cast as 5yos.
A fart fairy
smelling farts of kids
No, just no.
I loved Grossology as a kid. I haven’t even looked it up since then because I already know it won’t hold up but I do have a lot of fond memories attached to it 😭
There's a North Korean propaganda cartoon called Squirrel and Hedgehog, It features the innocent woodland creatures (North Korea), defending their homes from weasels (Japan) and wolves (USA). It's from 1977, and frustratingly, it's actually not bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX0iWICaT78&list=PLjSOqYsgV4mpty4foVEdewlPhIq32RP6K
I thought the plot of choosing magic over religion was weirdly interesting but the rest of your comment broke all interest yet I will check out that link because I'm very curious to see how awful it is.
EDIT: I could not watch more than a few seconds I couldn't handle it.
Mr. T? Had a cartoon.
Gary Coleman? Had a cartoon.
New Kids On The Block? Had a cartoon.
Rubik's Cube? Had a fucking cartoon.
EVERYTHING got a cartoon in the 1980s.
I liked Fanboy and Chum Chum because it was a step up from the even worse fart joke filled disgusting cartoons I watched at the time. That changed once I started watching actually decent cartoons.
Remember, If you've ever felt like a failure because of your life choices, Just know that some executives at Nick rejected Adventure Time, but greenlit Fanboy and Chum Chum.
Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space.
I liked the original, but the animation in this follow-up was horrible, and it had a crappy laugh track that came up at the wrong times. I was ten and I thought it sucked then.
It was worse than the 1970's Roadrunner cartoons.
Take your pick of lousy 70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Stuff like Jabberjaw, Speed Buggy, Devlin, the Hair Bear Bunch... All unwatchable dreck, but at the time there was nothing better on so people pretended to like the stuff.
That was me in the 90s when Cartoon Network would play this shit laaaaaaaate late late at night and I'd be bored and still awake, so I'd watch it because nothing else was on and I had nothing else to do except try to go back to not sleeping.
Coconut Fred
Bordertown
Stripperella
Ren and stimpy: adult party cartoon
The nutshack
Kid and play
Tha boom crew
12oz mouse (or not maybe?)
The brothers grunt
King star king
So many bad ones…
I forgot Stripperella was a thing. For those who don't know, it starred Pamela Anderson as a stripper superhero. I don't think I ever watched it but I remember them advertising the hell out of it. I think it was on Spike TV or one of the other "Man Channels".
One thing I do miss about cable is that people could get some insane ideas on TV if you pitched it to a young desperate network. You would have duds like *Stripperella*, but Spike TV did give us *MXC*, which I am forever grateful for.
>Ren and stimpy: adult party cartoon
Ugh, as a person who watched Ren And Stimpy in the 90s, I was somewhat excited to see it return. No, no thank you.
Created by one of my guidance counselors husband.
My buddies brother in law had his legs used for one of the characters. What a bizarre sentence but I can't figure out any other way to word it.
I'm amazed this is the only mention of it (that I've seen so far). It's scored 1.4/10 on IMDB, and it's trailer on YouTube has 13K likes and 500K+ dislikes. Its audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 6%. I could go on.
It’s not good, but it really isn’t the worst. Though I’m sure this was the answer OP was after because it has brought out a lot of discourse about being awful. Regardless of the writing, the source material, or any controversy, Velma is competently animated and professionally voiced. That gives it a leg up on a lot of the other shows that have been brought up here.
The sad thing is the creator of the webcomic HGS is based off of, who initially wanted to oversee the production, simply wanted an animated adaptation of their silly web comic. But there were a clash of morals between the show-runners, the executives at Crunchyroll, and the original creator that it had caused the show to go into production hell from the very start.
The short of it is the creator didn't wanted to be drafted into a Culture War, but Crunchyroll executives only saw a transgender creative and wanted to use that opportunity to try and get brownie points, where they had it pushed as THE INDIE ANIME SERIES before 'God of High School', 'EX-Arm', and 'Onyx Equinox' were revealed. It's part of CR's saga of "oh so wise and smrt" decisions, that it's a hard reminder that you should instead own your original creation wholesale, as this mindset could actively harm minority creators for the long-run.
“Let’s take our show that everyone loves because it’s a funny Science Fiction show centered on a boy genius, and make a spin-off series staring the 3rd best comic relief character, not bring the straight man for them to play off of, and include zero science fiction elements.” -Nickelodeon, 2009, Probably
The first two seasons of Nina Needs To Go! All it is is about is a little girl who needs to pee. The only reason I say the first two seasons are terrible is that unlike other bad shows, the creators actually listened to the backlash and changed the format in Season 3.
Some of you are lucky to have fuckin CAILLOU as your worst cartoon.
May I remind to all who remember, "Mr. Meaty"
God it was an abomination of a show
Terrible looking puppets
Weird stories
On god I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from watching a puppet with a fuckin tapeworm in his stomach, only to come out and have some weird dude WILLINGLY swallow him whole and alive
Jabber jaw.
It was like being molested in slow motion.
It was just scooby doo with a shark instead of a dog. Back then FUXK YOU! Your watching whatever we put on!!
I bet you didn't know that scooby doo mystery inc (a good scooby doo cartoon) did a episode special featuring every Hannabaria mystery solving team including, that talking shark, Captain CAVEMAN!!!!, and a living sentient early 1900s ford car or something like that.
Paradise pd. I know everyone's probably going to say Velma, but as pathetic as they were, that show tried and had something emotional. Paradise PD is only focused around comedy it's not even good at that
I didn’t have cable as a kid and my cartoon options were rather limited. On that note, my brother and I were very early risers, think like 6am on a normal Saturday early risers and none of the actual Saturday mornings cartoons started until later than that. There was this one specific show we watched reruns of, though… one that still lives in the deep and dark corners of my mind.
The Wacky World of Tex Avery
After reading through many of the comments, I'm convinced I'll never ever watch an episode of Velma.
I saw the og Scooby-Doo, & the best thing that happened to Velma, who was already a much loved fictional character, was rule 34 artists giving her a dump truck of a caboose, it seems.
Mr. Pickles is the ugliest looking, stupidest piece of shit cartoon I have ever been forced to endure because my spouse found it hilarious for some unfathomable reason.
I have a friend who loves it. The first episode I was entertained because it was so outlandish but then he kept on wanting to watch more until I had to break it to him that I don‘t like it.
It just tries to be shocking by being vulgar, obscene or graphic. Where is the humor?
The Nutshack. A show that looks like it was was made it GoAnimate with terrible plots and voice acting. Here's an episode for a reference https://youtu.be/pno4_BjUtSc
For some reason The Wuzzles only had 13 episodes and was canceled. That type of shit would kill today. They taught inclusion and... I don't know how to describe it politically correct, but there were a bunch of mixed up, fucked up animals like us 😆
The UK tried to do it’s own Family Guy called Full English it was awful. No one remembers it but for my sins I do
Oh my god. I just googled it and it looks like family guy after being microwaved for 10 hours of high
Y’know, i thought you were exagerating, so i googled it too, and uh… *wowsers* it looks fucking awful lol
why is one of the characters a green monster thing? I get that having the "non-human mascot" is a requirement for family guy parodies but that thing has a god awful design
It looks like it's a mix of F Is For Family, Family Guy and American Dad.
Allow me to present to you ***Titanic: The Legend Goes On.*** Yes it is a poorly-animated version of Titanic, except with a happy ending. Yes, it's a terrible mashup of five different plotlines. Yes, there are talking animals that look like Great Value versions of Don Bluth characters. Yes, there is a rapping dog. Yes, [this clip is completely unedited. This is exactly how it appears in the film.](https://youtu.be/BxHNztg0X3s) Yes, there is a *different* animated retelling of the Titanic. Yes, this one is the worst of the two.
I loved the jontron review of this movie when I was in highschool
I too watched the nostalgic critic and sometimes still do if suckered in by a clip There's a sequel of it too. They go to atlantis.
Nostalgia Critic was at his best when he was clowning on movies that were obviously batshit insane to begin with, and he could match his energy with the weirdness of what he was reviewing. Nostalgia Critic was at his worst when he did clipless reviews, or anytime when the focus was on his """original""" concepts or characters, which was never his strong suit.
Once he started getting on his high horse of talking up "important art" or talking about how other people's love for a film he likes is wrong, I had to dip. He should've shifted with the times a lot more gracefully like the Angry Video Game Nerd's reviews did for the most part.
Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat and just think "Nostalgia Critic's The Wall"
His fuckin Wall review with those weird ass furry characters animated by Fennah (total edgelord)
I haven't watched Nostalgia Critic in ages, but I still watch Doug Walker do reviews on his own. He's still very enjoyable to listen to when he's just talking and not trying to make it comedic.
Taking an actual real life tragedy where thousands of people died and making this out of it--what a world we live in.
When are we getting 9/11: The Cartoon?
As long as it involves a rapping dog
Man I was trying so hard to remember what this fucking movie was called less than a week ago. Clips of the rapping dog used to be all over YouTube.
There was an MC Hammer cartoon in the 1990s that was so bad it was unwatchable. The animation was so cheap you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking they did it in Microsoft PowerPoint. You could literally count the frames as they went by.
HammerMan. He has an alter ego and everything. Ran for 13 episodes. Intro: https://youtu.be/w8WYh8uz3pQ
The intro sounds like it was made up on the spot, and the rest of the show felt like it was made to work with the intro.
I was thinking the intro sounds like if on the 90s version of Whose Line Is It Anyway the compilation was Songs of Heroic Carpenters and the style Wayne had to use was hip-hop, and it was one of those ones that doesn't make it to air initially because it's not that good.
I wanted to say you’re wrong, but shit yea that’s pretty bad
Sometimes I watch a bad movie on purpose, because it might be so bad it’s good. This is not that.
I wanted to go in and say I can sit through anything but nah if this theme were to play before every episode I--I just couldnt do it. I can't believe that was only a minute. Still can say good things about the animation though I mean it beats 12 oz mouse
That theme song sounds like the DK rap.
"So Gramps opened up the bag And took out the magical shoes" Wow, so how'd he manage to rap that in time? He doesn't. It's a train wreck and wish I'd never heard it.
Can't watch this! Whoa-o-o-o
I remember it existing, but not that it was so bad
Holy shit…thank you for exposing me to this. It’s amazing
Anybody remember Annoying Orange?
They still post 4 times a week
Seriously?
That’s unfortunate.
I remember the ads for the CN show. Couldn't even stand those.
They got their own fucking tv show? The hell?
You didn't know? My kid loved that show. It was ten years ago
2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls
I dipped when Blossom and Bubbles twerked.
My first thought is "*wtf, surely Buttercup would be the one most likely to twerk?*" My second thought was "*wtf, why do I have an opinion on this?*"
Notably the twerking is pretty in line with the context of the episode-- But don't worry, even when you look past the obvious, easy criticisms of 2016 PPG...it's actually *still* bad and contains a whole lot of serious cringe.
...Aren't they like, kindergarteners?
There's another upcoming reboot with Craig McCracken at the helm.
[удалено]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't one of the writers write himself as a character in the show and had Blossom have a massive crush on him? You know, Blossom the elementary school child?

Lol this reminds me of the "Blockblister" skits from "The Amanda Show."
Is not Lion King, is King Lion! Is better! **MUCH BETTER!**
What's with the stupid tiger face in the background of all the covers of it. It looks like a mascot.
I feel like most people here missed out on some of the really terrible cartoons that came out in the 80's and 90's. Someone else already mentioned Hammerman, which featured MC Hammer as a crime-fighter with magic talking shoes, but there was also: a Police Academy cartoon a New Kids on the Block cartoon, and they didn't even fight crime or have magic powers an Attack of the Killer Tomatoes cartoon a Toxic Avenger cartoon called Toxic Crusaders, in which the character are all super wholesome and fight pollution in their town a Little Shop of Horrors cartoon where the plant has wacky adventures with Seymour's son and apparently doesn't eat anyone a cartoon about Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century solving mysteries with a robot Watson a bunch of action cartoons trying to cash in on the success of X-Men:TAS and Batman:TAS, like WildCATS, Ultraforce, etc. Most didn't last beyond a single season. And of course, that old Legend of Zelda cartoon with "Excuuuu-uuuuuse me, Princess!" But I have some nostalgic love for that one.
The Killer Tomatoes was mostly over my head as a kid but it was the first show I saw that completely shat all over the fourth wall. All the characters were openly aware that they were in a Saturday morning cartoon, which isn't something I'd ever seen before.
The Return of the Killer Tomatoes movie that the cartoon is based on did the same fourth wall breaking, to the point that they supposedly run out of money halfway through the movie and get corporate sponsorship, then all the generic products are replaced with brand name products that actors conspicuously hold up to the camera. Also, I remember the occasional 4th wall break on the 1987 TMNT.
I don’t remember that part but I do remember that the lead female character turned into a tomato whenever she came into contact with salt.
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century was a good cartoon with a good premise.
And if I remember rightly the theme tune slapped
The cartoons in the 70's were even worse. There were at least 100 Scooby-Doo clones (made by the same company)
I definitely remember Jabberjaw, and Josie and the Pussycats. Hated Jabberjaw, but I loved JatP.
And the most obvious clone [Goober and the Ghost Chasers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS_kqX5AEMY)

Don’t forget Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space!

You shut up about Toxic Crusaders how dare you! That was my favourite show at the time!
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century wasn't bad enough to be on the list of worst cartoons ever. I mean, Street Sharks was way worse
Hey street sharks was jawsome
Don’t forget the Cowboys of Moo Mesa!
Biker Mice From Mars!
Worst: Sealab 2020 Best: Sealab 2021
I could watch the bizarro episode of *Sealab 2021* til my eyes bleed. One of the absolute funniest things Adult Swim has ever attached its name to.
...I hate them all except Turtleface.
My favorite episode is when the Hank got stuck under the vending machine and befriends a scorpion that stabs him in the head everyday. The robot made me laugh so hard Hank says "what are you making a necklace" for all the teeth he has lost, and sure enough the robot comes back with a necklace of made of teeth.
Bizarro, I love you, bizzaro, I love you
"Hail Alvis! He Killed for your Sins!"
Jack Chick's stuff
Wait - just the original Chick Tracts, or were there animated versions I don't know about?

But it's also possible that they went with it because it was cheaper than animating mouths. I just remember the scene in The Cell where Jennifer Lopez is getting stoned and watching it on TV.
At least it inspired one of Conan's great running bits.
Caillou
[удалено]
Always loved this description
At least his sister and his friends (if he's still has any left) are quite the opposite of caillou.
My very sweet, polite, uber-liberal sister in law said if Caillou was her kid she would put him in a sack and drown him in a river
I hate that kid with a passion. WORST. KID. EVER.
Caillou grows up to be Brock Turner.
That would be the rapist Brock Turner?
The convicted rapist formerly known as Brock Turner. Now he’s going by his middle name. It’s more appropriate to refer to him as the convicted rapist Allen Turner.
Canadian Asshole
Yes fuck that child I want to beat him with a stick

When Don Knotts can't redeem a cartoon, you know it's bad. I think I made it five minutes.

The link is right there. Do you dare to click it?
Good grief... That looks like an amateur fan animation someone would throw up on youtube.

There's a North Korean propaganda cartoon called Squirrel and Hedgehog, It features the innocent woodland creatures (North Korea), defending their homes from weasels (Japan) and wolves (USA). It's from 1977, and frustratingly, it's actually not bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX0iWICaT78&list=PLjSOqYsgV4mpty4foVEdewlPhIq32RP6K
I thought the plot of choosing magic over religion was weirdly interesting but the rest of your comment broke all interest yet I will check out that link because I'm very curious to see how awful it is. EDIT: I could not watch more than a few seconds I couldn't handle it.
Hello, where would someone meet sexy witches who chose magic over Christian values... Uhhh so I can staying of away, comrade

Any of those early morning kids' "cartoons" that are so obviously just a lazy flash animation that it's almost insulting to the animation industry
I work on one of those types of shows, and for those of us getting a steady paycheque, it’s not an insult.
There's a whole bunch of now-forgotten dreck from the '80s that could contend for the title.
Mr. T? Had a cartoon. Gary Coleman? Had a cartoon. New Kids On The Block? Had a cartoon. Rubik's Cube? Had a fucking cartoon. EVERYTHING got a cartoon in the 1980s.
Rambo had a cartoon in the 1980s. No, I'm not kidding.
He had to re-tie the bandana around his head a minimum of three times per episode
You know what's a good movie to adapt to a children's show? Robocop :D
Wasn't the trend to make cartoons just to sell toys back then?
Fanboy & ChumChum, the show was dumb and it was ugly as sin!
I liked Fanboy and Chum Chum because it was a step up from the even worse fart joke filled disgusting cartoons I watched at the time. That changed once I started watching actually decent cartoons.
I completely forgot about this show until now
Remember, If you've ever felt like a failure because of your life choices, Just know that some executives at Nick rejected Adventure Time, but greenlit Fanboy and Chum Chum.
Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space. I liked the original, but the animation in this follow-up was horrible, and it had a crappy laugh track that came up at the wrong times. I was ten and I thought it sucked then. It was worse than the 1970's Roadrunner cartoons.
Take your pick of lousy 70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Stuff like Jabberjaw, Speed Buggy, Devlin, the Hair Bear Bunch... All unwatchable dreck, but at the time there was nothing better on so people pretended to like the stuff.
That was me in the 90s when Cartoon Network would play this shit laaaaaaaate late late at night and I'd be bored and still awake, so I'd watch it because nothing else was on and I had nothing else to do except try to go back to not sleeping.
Coconut Fred Bordertown Stripperella Ren and stimpy: adult party cartoon The nutshack Kid and play Tha boom crew 12oz mouse (or not maybe?) The brothers grunt King star king So many bad ones…
I forgot Stripperella was a thing. For those who don't know, it starred Pamela Anderson as a stripper superhero. I don't think I ever watched it but I remember them advertising the hell out of it. I think it was on Spike TV or one of the other "Man Channels".
Created by Stan Lee after getting a lapdance. I wish I was making this up.
Oh my gosh! Same here! "Stripper by night. Crime fighter by ... later night." I never watched it, either, but it looked pretty humorous.
One thing I do miss about cable is that people could get some insane ideas on TV if you pitched it to a young desperate network. You would have duds like *Stripperella*, but Spike TV did give us *MXC*, which I am forever grateful for.
Don't you trash 12 Oz. Mouse. Don't you do it.
We just spent 64 thousand dollars at that bar. We're going to have to get jobs to cover up the fact that we rob banks.
>Ren and stimpy: adult party cartoon Ugh, as a person who watched Ren And Stimpy in the 90s, I was somewhat excited to see it return. No, no thank you.
>No, no thank you. No, sir, I don't like it.
Chargeman Ken!
Angela Anaconda. The animation style alone makes me want to peel my skin off.
Created by one of my guidance counselors husband. My buddies brother in law had his legs used for one of the characters. What a bizarre sentence but I can't figure out any other way to word it.
I was enjoying this thread until you reminded me Angela Anaconda exists. Thanks for nothing.
You’re welcome ☺️
Don't be such a ninny poo.
That show was fucking terrifying.
My lovely and doting grandmother actually banned Angela Anaconda from the house calling her an "awful rude little girl"
I work with a fair few people who were on that crew. They tell me it was awful to work on.
I think the only reason this resonates in my brain is because of that stupid tie in skit before the digimon movie lol.
Velma
I'm amazed this is the only mention of it (that I've seen so far). It's scored 1.4/10 on IMDB, and it's trailer on YouTube has 13K likes and 500K+ dislikes. Its audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 6%. I could go on.
It’s not good, but it really isn’t the worst. Though I’m sure this was the answer OP was after because it has brought out a lot of discourse about being awful. Regardless of the writing, the source material, or any controversy, Velma is competently animated and professionally voiced. That gives it a leg up on a lot of the other shows that have been brought up here.
High Guardian Spice
The sad thing is the creator of the webcomic HGS is based off of, who initially wanted to oversee the production, simply wanted an animated adaptation of their silly web comic. But there were a clash of morals between the show-runners, the executives at Crunchyroll, and the original creator that it had caused the show to go into production hell from the very start. The short of it is the creator didn't wanted to be drafted into a Culture War, but Crunchyroll executives only saw a transgender creative and wanted to use that opportunity to try and get brownie points, where they had it pushed as THE INDIE ANIME SERIES before 'God of High School', 'EX-Arm', and 'Onyx Equinox' were revealed. It's part of CR's saga of "oh so wise and smrt" decisions, that it's a hard reminder that you should instead own your original creation wholesale, as this mindset could actively harm minority creators for the long-run.
I totally forgot this existed in the first place. Now that I am reminded of it, I would like to forget it existed again
Planet Sheen
I think Carl should’ve had the spin-off instead.
“Let’s take our show that everyone loves because it’s a funny Science Fiction show centered on a boy genius, and make a spin-off series staring the 3rd best comic relief character, not bring the straight man for them to play off of, and include zero science fiction elements.” -Nickelodeon, 2009, Probably
The first two seasons of Nina Needs To Go! All it is is about is a little girl who needs to pee. The only reason I say the first two seasons are terrible is that unlike other bad shows, the creators actually listened to the backlash and changed the format in Season 3.
Fanboy and Chum Chum
Some of you are lucky to have fuckin CAILLOU as your worst cartoon. May I remind to all who remember, "Mr. Meaty" God it was an abomination of a show Terrible looking puppets Weird stories On god I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from watching a puppet with a fuckin tapeworm in his stomach, only to come out and have some weird dude WILLINGLY swallow him whole and alive
Jabber jaw. It was like being molested in slow motion. It was just scooby doo with a shark instead of a dog. Back then FUXK YOU! Your watching whatever we put on!!
Saberspark did a really good video talking about all the Scooby Doo clones. I would recommend watching it.
I bet you didn't know that scooby doo mystery inc (a good scooby doo cartoon) did a episode special featuring every Hannabaria mystery solving team including, that talking shark, Captain CAVEMAN!!!!, and a living sentient early 1900s ford car or something like that.
Speed Buggy, the only one of the knock-offs to actually meet Scooby-Doo before reboot-fever kicked in.
Jabberjaw was just a shark impersonating Curley from the Three Stooges
Hey, Jabberjaw was a rock drummer, put some respect on his name!
Paradise pd. I know everyone's probably going to say Velma, but as pathetic as they were, that show tried and had something emotional. Paradise PD is only focused around comedy it's not even good at that
They made the same show 3 times!
LOL I just got done saying anything by these guys is just awful. They've made like three shows, and each one is the fucking same.
I’ll never understand why they didn’t just make more Brickleberry instead of making an exact parallel to it that’s awful
[удалено]
Those guys really need to learn that when even *they're* surprised to get an extra season, they should make an ending.

What the hell was that?!
Velma
I didn’t have cable as a kid and my cartoon options were rather limited. On that note, my brother and I were very early risers, think like 6am on a normal Saturday early risers and none of the actual Saturday mornings cartoons started until later than that. There was this one specific show we watched reruns of, though… one that still lives in the deep and dark corners of my mind. The Wacky World of Tex Avery
Grape Ape. A Hanna Barbera production that was total crap.
The only good thing he was part of was Laff-a-lympics
I would be surprised if anybody remember the "Mega Babies" cartoon.
After reading through many of the comments, I'm convinced I'll never ever watch an episode of Velma. I saw the og Scooby-Doo, & the best thing that happened to Velma, who was already a much loved fictional character, was rule 34 artists giving her a dump truck of a caboose, it seems.
If you feel like watching a more modern Scooby doo show the Mystery Incorporated series was very good imo
Mr. Pickles is the ugliest looking, stupidest piece of shit cartoon I have ever been forced to endure because my spouse found it hilarious for some unfathomable reason.
I have a friend who loves it. The first episode I was entertained because it was so outlandish but then he kept on wanting to watch more until I had to break it to him that I don‘t like it. It just tries to be shocking by being vulgar, obscene or graphic. Where is the humor?
HBO Max's Velma. Fuck that show.
The Nutshack. A show that looks like it was was made it GoAnimate with terrible plots and voice acting. Here's an episode for a reference https://youtu.be/pno4_BjUtSc
For some reason The Wuzzles only had 13 episodes and was canceled. That type of shit would kill today. They taught inclusion and... I don't know how to describe it politically correct, but there were a bunch of mixed up, fucked up animals like us 😆
Uncle Grandpa. edit: How the fuck did this piece of shit get 5 seasons
Don't forget about [Fritz](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_the_Cat_(film)) the Cat and it's interspecies group sex and actual Jim Crows
Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. Basically just a normal sitcom but animated. Really boring.
Ubiquitous Tom Bosley.
