The Worst Animated Tv Series and Characters of All Time

Ooh, Gargoyles! That was a Disney series and it was the absolute canine's clangers!

Gargoyles was bad? I thought it was one of the better Disney efforts.

Pirates of Dark Water is a classic example of "screwed by the network" as they were 3/4 through their story when it was cancelled. And unlike many shows at the time it actually had one cohesive arc.
Anyway back on topic:

Pokemon. Although I'm only familiar with the Dutch dub, which consisted mostly of high pitched hoarse screaming.

Hong kong phooey was rumored to get a live-action release starring Eddie Murphy.

Current "adult" shows like "buckleberry" , "happy tree friends" and "shorties watching shorties."


I'm about to make myself very unpopular, but I hated the 80's TMNT.
I watched it with my friends who loved every second of it. But I just didn't care. It was the "totally radical dude!" talk that I hated. It came off as very condescending to me. "This is how the kids speak today right?" the executives seemed to say. "there is no other way we can connect with kids, so the characters have to speak like morons, because kids are stupid after all"

Common language barrier problem here: "canine's changers" means "the best". Gargoyles was awesome!

Ah... right.
I always found it odd that comparing something with the genitals of a dog means it's good. And comparing it with what a dog eats means it's bad.

I think Gargoyles was done by the same people that did Batman the animated series. Thats one of the reasons it had such good writing. They did a second Gargoyles series which was't nearly as good.
 
Adult Swim's Reign was really bad. They had another show with dancing boys and mechs that was also awful.

Jen and the Holograms was pretty bad. I think I only saw one episode.

She-ra could have been so much better!

In the modern cartoons, MS Gundam Seed Destiny- I didn't even bother to watch and the previews were so interesting!
My brother LOVED Ren & Stimpy, but it was just so repetitive and ugly! I just can't stand to watch it anymore!
Jerry Springer was a live action cartoon in many ways.
 
While some of the aforementioned shows were bad, there is one that shall forever stand above them all, looking down from its pedestal of misery, imposing its horror upon an unsuspecting world.


That show is Caillou.

I tended to skip that show too.
 
Rhubarb & Custard. Pretty dreadful animation for its time (mid 70s I think). The only saving grace was the voice-over by Richard Briers.

Marine Boy - Just bad in every department

Marine Boy did have superior animation to just about animated show in US television at that time.
 
"Purno de Purno"

A Dutch creation following the misadventures of a man in a purple shorttrack iceskating suit.
Ostensibly based on a guy at the local icerink the creators of this crappy animation used to know.
This individual was nicknamed Speurneus = sleuth/detective.
Which later became shortened to "Purno"

Yes, they knew what that word sounded like.

Unfortunately that's also a prime example of the type of humor on display in this pile of excrement.

it was an early attempt at computer generated cartoon, utilizing graphics software on an Amiga 2000 which was then transferred by floppy disk. Back in '88 this was pioneering work. Now it's just really hard on the eyes.

Purno looks like the satanic offspring of "Noseybonk"
And was voiced by something resembling a cross between "annoying orange" and Jim Davidson

The exclamation "Saperedosio" (denoting surprise at something really good or really bad) is still used today.

But only by annoying morons.
 
Every single show where they felt the need to add a Scrappy Doo or a Bat Mite or some similar goofy, pun spewing idiot character. Even as a 6 year old I never found this pie in the face comedy funny. I have always been to old for that type of thing.

Another peeve of mine. When they animate in such a fashion to make the show resemble toys for a 5 year old (a normal 5 year old, not me).
 
Actually I think its more because its cheap. It's the same reason a lot of those southpark clones of adult animations use the cheaper style. It's a lot cheaper to animate. Not saying its dirt cheap (and these days I suspect even something like SP costs a lot to make); but it is generally cheaper than traditional animation.
