Worst Episode Ever

Ra · 11-18-2006, 03:03 AM

In my travels around this vast desert known as "The Internet", I have come across a question that has raised many more questions in it's place - what is the worst episode you have seen?

The worst one in my book as to be "Q & A" from "The Batman". Now, I've seen Joker being given a hidiously wrong revamp. I have seen Penguin suddenly able to obtain a black belt in kung-fu and bash up about 10 guys running towards him. I have had my ears tainted by a very unsexy Catwoman trying to hook up with Batman. But all of that is nothing compaired to seeing little midgets come and try and kick Batman in the shins. Oh, I can just not go into how disgusted I was about this episode as both a Batman fan and a cartoon adict. It was just...wrong. Absolutly wrong. Thankfully the show has picked up the bar far beyond the reach of those midgets, and I hope for the sake of my sanity that the villian "Cluemaster" and his hairy little midgets will never return.

So go ahead. Rant. Poke fun. Bash the show as a whole if you must. Just try not to rip each other's heads off if a show is being bashed, m'kay?

Does the entire series of Invader Zim count?

But in terms of a episode that really just pissed me off to no end, it has to be this episode of the Simpsons that aired not to long ago and revolved around Lisa running for School president or something and get this!....IT'S A MUSICAL! OH GOODY A SIMPSONS MUSICAL IN THE CRAPPY DAYS OF THE SHOW! YAAAAAY!

The songs were not funny or good for that matter, I know it was probably based on some thing that all the theater geeks will get on me for but I really despise that episode.

I'm gonna have to go with every fast forward episode I have seen so far...now dont get me wrong, to be honest I think it is an ok show that i tune in for every once in a while if i catch the clock at the right time, but seeing it makes me long for saturday morning tmnt2k3 episodes. I guess I really didnt appreciate it as much until they ended it

In my book? Yes. The only episode I found tolerable was the first one, which to me had some grip on a story line. Ever since then the show gives me a slight headache. Though I like Gir's randomness such as "I'm going to roll on the floor now" or his "Doom song"

agreed. Did they jump the shark when tehy made Fast forward?

I was disapointed with the new turtle show. disapointed.

Well, it has to go series by series. So here's a few of my favorite least favorites.

SMB3: Misadventures in Babysitting. The Animation alone makes my skin crawl. Plus, the kid that played the kid can't act.

TMNT 80's: Mutegen Monster. Now, when I saw this more recently, I had a bad day, so it might have affected my judgement, but all those Cow-abunga and Dude ranch jokes made me p'o'd.

Simpsons: That one where they go to Africa. There were some other bad ones, but I have ALWAYS hated that episode. Plus, that one with Fantasia from American Idol. Nothing but a commercial for Fox.

Sesame Street: Elmo's Furry Red Monster Parade. I don't know why I should even bother putting this on my list, but when I actually bothered to watch it lately, it came on like this... and well, there was no better advertisement for that "old School 70's" Sesame Box set.

TMNT 2k3: MMmhh... well, it's a toss up between that clip show episode after Secret Origens and those ones dealing with Atlintians.

TMNT Fast Forward: The second one... then the Wrestling one.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: I can think of quite a few, actually. Does the Christmas special count?

Bullwinkle: Can't really think of a single one, actually.

Animaniacs: Anything with the "Flame" in it... and "Wings take Heart"

Does this relate at all to any of the wrestling stuff from Archie? If so, I'd definately have to see it.

Nope, the FF ep. with wrestling doesn't really. Raph wrestles a bit. But it mainly deals with a banned wrestler, Triple Threat (so-named as he has 3 heads), attempting to rob the place.

Of course not. That wasn't animated. And I LOVED the Stump Wrestling stuff.

I understand that he meant it was an FF episode, but when Turtles and Wrestling are mentioned together, my thoughts immediately turn to Stump Asteroid. I just wanted to make sure.

One of the worst episodes I've seen recently was the Episode of NCIS that aired the week before last week. A guy gets blown up on the golf course, Gibbs states that it's a terrorist about two minutes into the episode, then they do... stuff for forty minutes and then the save a crowd from a bomb. End.

Were the writers drunk? First, having a "terrorist" as the bad guy of the week is about as original as saying the butler or the gardener did it. Then, if you absolutely need to have a terrorist in the episode, do everyone a favour and don't mention him until two minutes before the episode ends. It's no fun watching the show when you know who did it from the beginning. And third, find something better than just "a bomb". I mean, why not a cleverly executed assassination? Or something disguised as an accident? If I was a terrorist and would want to kill americans by the dozen, I'd try more subtle ways to do so.

Here's how the episode should have went. Marine drives, car, gets out, drops dead. Jethro's gut tells him something's wonky. He sends Ducky to investigate, meanwhile Jethro and the gang head to check on whatever he's been doing since he's back from Iraq or wherever he was. They find the golf course and there they find traces of a weird substance on something. Ducky calls and tells that the Marine died because of some weird poison, very hard to detect and that it should have looked like an accident. Jethro suspects that there's something odd at the golf course and investigates, questions people and whatnot. Then, by the end, we could have something like "The usual suspects" with the terrorist (and please, make him as cool as Ari was) walking away smiling, leaving some sort of sign to Jethro.

That would have been a great intro for a terrorist. And not that trainwreck we got.

I wonder if Triple Threat was a reference to Triple H?

While I'm on the wrestling subject, just about every WCW Nitro from mid-2000 on is some of the worst wrestling ever put on television. Cruddy gimmicks holding down talented wrestlers, the WCW title changing hands 10 times in a month, David Arquette winning the world title, Vince Russo winning the world title, stupid gimmick matches, and storylines that are too stupid even for wrestling.

"Bloody Mary" is the least funny episode of South Park ever. I'm Catholic and found "Red Hot Catholic Love" hilarious, but I don't recall laughing once during Bloody Mary.

No particular episode, but Family Guy's jokes are starting to become really hit or miss. Last night I was watching it while doing HW and I looked back at the screen thinking "this joke is still going?!". They need to do those long winded jokes a little more sparingly.
