Worst. Cartoons. Ever.

**Jester** · 11-02-2013, 10:57 AM

So...what do you think are the worst cartoons ever?

Retro TV runs the Filmation toons on Saturday mornings...but they run short, so they show The Dick Tracy Show as filler between shows....man it's awful. Tracy is purely an incidental character, and the animation is lousy.

Highlander: The Animated Series, Stitch ! : The Anime, Powerpuff Girls Z, and Every current cartoon on the CN (with the exceptions of Adventure Time, Regular Show.) just to name a few.

The worse I have ever seen is probably The 2003 CGI Spider-man series produced by sony, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris
If you watch the first five minutes you will understand why.

Ren and Stimpy

*Donatello19* · 11-02-2013, 11:44 AM

Uncle Grandpa and Sanjay and Craig are pretty awful...heck, most new cartoons are.

*PApagreg* · 11-02-2013, 12:02 PM

Allen Gregory, Problem Solverz, Coconut Fred, and Wulin Warriors

*Mzx10484* · 11-02-2013, 12:39 PM

Captain Planet !

The old Superfriends and 1970-1980 Batman cartoons were horrible. I remember Cartoon Network used to rerun them all the time.

The shows were so terrible that the heroes weren't even allowed to punch the villains. There was little to no fighting in the show and all the characters were one dimensional.

People tend to forget how horrible DC cartoons were before B:TAS. Only the 1940 Superman shorts were good.

Uncle Grandpa already annoys me sadly.......

I just....Don't like his voice...I can barely understand him!

Despite the fact everything they hate about it can be found in old cartoons they love

F*cking THIS. Absolutely no redeeming values whatsoever. I would rather watch the sh*tty new Ultimate show for eternity than to watch a single episode of that atrocity.

I love Super Friends. All Super Friends are not created equal tho. Even for the casual viewer, Challenge of the Super Friends is pretty fun, and the last 2 seasons in the early 80's are really pretty good.

*Ninjinister* · 11-02-2013, 03:44 PM

Spongebob
Adventure Time
Regular Show

All worthless s**t. COME AT ME!

I agree, early Super-Friends were lousy (but still great for camp value as well as compared to the standards of the time), but the last few seasons up through "Super Powers: Galactic Guardians" were aaaaawesome.

The Marvel Thor and Incredible Hulk cartoons from the '60s is about the worst thing I've ever seen, though. They were more like motion-comics than anything, barely even a "cartoon", little to no actual animation, just voice-over narration set to actual comic book pages. Literally a dirt-cheap production all the way through.

There's also a distinction, to me, between whether something is objectively "bad", but still well-done for the standards of its time period, and then there's things that are just lousy compared to any era. A lot of Filmation shows, for example, were cheap and re-used a ton of stock footage, but at the same time were among the best-produced shows of their era. Nowadays if someone tried to make those shows the same way it'd be bullsh*t, but at the time they were considered innovative.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-02-2013, 05:05 PM

Spongebob, Sanjay and Craig, Rabbids Invasion, Uncle Grandpa, Adventure Time, Annoying Orange, and that's all I can think of right now.

*TurtleTitan97* · 11-02-2013, 05:14 PM

Let's see, for me there's:

Sonic X
The Problem Solverz
Ultimate Spider-Man
Avengers Assemble
Hulk and the Agents of SMASH
Johnny Test
Secret Mountain Fort Awesome
Sanjay and Craig
Pokémon
Sonic Underground
Phineas & Ferb
The Tom and Jerry cartoons from the Gene Deitch era (1961–1962)
Emperor's New School

That's all I got for now.

RaphAndDonnie · 11-02-2013, 06:12 PM

Annoying Orange, Uncle Grandpa, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Johnny Test, and Fantastic Four (1967) (which I don't think is "bad" per se just unbearably boring)
