I would like to suggest “Velma” be added to the page on February 12th. Currently, it has a 59% on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 7%. From the reactions I’ve seen, it seems to generate hate from both right-wing and left-wing audiences with offensive jokes and whatnot. Also, people were hating on it before it even came out.

Been prepping for this inevitable suggestion. Even with it being pretty near unanimously hated by viewers 59% from Rotten Tomatoes critics is WAY too high. Also, it literally just came out.

Everybody hating on it is mostly focusing on the writing and concepts. The animation and voice work is apparenly mostly pretty competent, and others have said it gets less awful past episode one. I think it's just a target for hatred for the sake of it right now, bu it's not SBIH compared to something like Santa Inc which got bad critical reviews and also doesn't have great visuals.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

And maybe we should way until a month after the first season ends before we could judge if Velma is worthy of being SBIH or not.

Though, I suspect the show will get worse before it gets better.

Okay, it's been over a month since Season 1 ended, and I think you're right on the money, Ivanov Troping 97. Haven't really seen any positive reviews for Velma afterward. While some people do speak on some positives the show has, they aren't anywhere near enough for them to help save the show from this list. At the very least, the ads from before its release felt more like foreshadowing of what was to come from the show itself.

I've heard that Grey DeLisle, the recurring voice of Daphne Blake since What's New, Scooby Doo?, bashed the Velma show, saying that it's a bastardization of a beloved classic cartoon and wouldn't have worked as a standalone adult animated series.

You know you screwed up badly when even the people involved with other Scooby-Doo adaptations criticize your adaptation of the show, along with the audience.

I think it's worth looking into at least, its IMDB rating is pretty abysmal and I've heard nothing but bad things about it even putting political bias aside (most notably that it's just a very boring show that stretches the Adults Are Useless trope so far that it undermines its own foundation of patriarchy and family values). And for what it's worth, the show isn't even overtly right-wing; like all Bentkey material, it tries to present itself as "apolitical" to market to a wider demographic while still not straying from its own conservative values, unlike, say, Leo & Layla which is overt propaganda. Overall, it seems to have attractive a lot of ire from both left-wing reviewers and apolitical cartoon or Bluey focused content creators.

Am I the only one that believes that several entries on this page (as well as several entries on the Asian Animation, Animated Films and Anime and Manga pages) need to be re-written? Those entires are examples of the silliness, snobbery, whining and nitpicking that is sadly normy in the animation community.

From complaining about cheapness (which is not bad if you make good or even great of it), subjective things like annoyance, use of vague words like "unlikable" (rather than using objective things more, how else could you convince people to avoid them, as several entries suggest?) and complaining about Cliche Storm and In Name Only (neither of which are inherently bad), to critisizing small things like a bad texture (Boys of Valor), wrong lip usage (that was fixed later anyway) and one unintentionally racist line (both Newborn Cuties), critisizing the same music from a game being used in a animation adaptation (so?), irrelevant things like the back of the tape giving away a movie's ending (Thunder Prince) and uses comparisons where they are irrelevant (The Adventures of Kid Danger).

Seriously, these pages need a serious overhaul to help this wiki and perhaps the animation community by teaching them some lessons. What do you people think?

Cut this upon discussion in the forum thread:

  • In the late 1980s and early 1990s a TV cartoon series aired on VTM based on the popular comic strip Suske en Wiske. The design of the characters looked okay and resembled the comic strip... but the cartoon was so cheaply made that almost every scene was Stock Footage. For instance, whenever a specific character was walking from one point to another, they always played the same clip. The animators also animated only one expression of a certain emotion for each main cast member. If, for instance, a specific character became angry, it was always the same scene without any variation. As one can imagine, watching these cartoons can become rather tedious after a while, especially since they follow the stories of the comic book albums almost frame-by-frame in extremely slow pacing.

This just says that the animation was ultra-cheap and the pacing very slow. There is no mention of the script or jokes being bad, and the entry even admit that the character designs are okay.

Feel free to re-add if you can show that the series was bad in every respect, as well as having an overwhelmingly negative reception.

I have some weird questions in regards to this thing called "The Red Ape Family". This animated... thing (not sure if it's going to be a series proper or not) was only released on the Internet, and due to this crazy NFT thing going around that I'm still not fully understanding of even after many months have passed, I know the currently sole episode released so far for it gained $1.8 million from its episode alone due to that NFT thing. The weird thing about it is it feels like it's a joke, but it also gained some serious, solid ground due to the rapper 2 Chainz being involved with it, despite the characters for "The Red Ape Family" pretty much being traced re-drawings of various, common NFT archetypes in the first place. Not to mention it lays claim to it being "The First NFT Show" despite it arguably not being the first due to Mila Kunis creating a NFT show herself called "Stoner Cats" (which was announced before "The Red Ape Family", but probably wasn't released first online). As such, I have to ask would "The Red Ape Family" qualify for a place here if it gained more episodes that were of similar quality as the first episode was? If it doesn't get another episode, what other section would help qualify it for a So Bad, It's Horrible placement? And finally, due to the weird notion of NF Ts in general, I need to ask this: is it even something we'd consider a financial failure if it managed to gain $1.8 million in something like cryptocurrency? I feel I need to ask these questions right here and now before anything drastic happens.

I also think it's a web animation, not a televised/streamed show, so it wouldn't count under how the wiki defines the "Western Animation" namespace.

We previously had NFTs listed on one of the Horrible pages but it was quickly removed because of its strong fanbase and because the bubble hasn't popped (yet).

Understandable points there. Still, it is fair to question when a point is clear for a web animated series to potentially count if it starts out bad and doesn't really improve upon itself. Not to mention if it should qualify in a grouping like Western Animation or something else altogether.

I would like to add, however, that NFT bros have very low standards if they consider it to be "good". And I would personally say that "rather violently attack people who criticise it" is not helping the case against inclusion IMO. Just as a work has to fail to appeal to a niche to qualify, I think a work should also qualify if the work isn't just bad on its own merits, but those who are fans of it are that level of psychotic.

mightymewtron Since: Oct, 2012

^ First off, we should probably not call fans of anything "psychotic," even though I do not like NFT bros much at all. Second, that doesn't address the issue of it being web animation (and, for that matter, being too new to list).

On the matter of it being well received by its target audience. The I believe that the only reason it was has nothing to do with its quality, but rather with its monetary value. The NFT bros don't care that it's shit, they only care that it's valuable. That's all they care about it for them to consider it good at all. Not because of any artistic quality, but because it's expensive and can sell at all for the sake of selling.

I got a show that was released this year on HBO Max that I think could count for this list, with it representing things that are wrong with adult animated comedies real well. Santa Inc. looks to qualify not just for its poor rating (currently a 1.4 rating on IMDB and a 4% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes), but with jokes that go nowhere worthwhile or are surface level, bargain bin quality in terms of material, unlikeable characters that makes the "antagonist" of Santa Claus and the set-up for it being completely unjustified (Santa logically explaining why Candy wasn't the best fit for replacing Santa Claus in the end and Candy pretty much saying fuck him for the logical alternative of having her work best behind the scenes as the main worker while the actual replacement would be the new face when his time comes). I think we can say that the rating is justified, even in spite of the creators claiming "white supremacists" dislike the show (which may mention the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment, but otherwise goes to show how awful it is in spite of such claims at hand). Not only that, but a ton of dislikes were on its Red Band trailer before YouTube removed the dislike feature showing up for very stupid reasons, with plenty of videos talking about how faulty Santa Inc. is from people like Steve Reviews, Just Stop, Nerdrotic, ShortFatOtaku, and The Critical Drinker, with It'sAGundam going over all the details regarding Santa Inc.'s situation and YourMovieSucks getting the gist of things by watching its Red Band trailer alone.

Would Hell Den qualify? It's meant to be a MST 3 K-esque show where the characters watch old-timey cartoons, but it is completely devoid of any charm. Most of the "animation" is just looking at footage of said old-timey cartoons(most of which is most likely public domain anyway) superimposed over a static image of a tv screen. Not that you'd want to watch the original animation the show offers, due to the ugly character designs and fragrant overuse of stock footage. The writing is no better, with most of the jokes being obnoxious or downright insulting.

May want to take a look at the show Santa Inc. The show somehow managed to become the lowest rated show on IMBD within days of debuting. While a lot of the reviews are apparently review-bombing, it seems like nobody wants to defend the show, not even to give it a neutral review. I haven't seen it myself as I don't have the streaming service it is on, but apparently it is a Christmas show that is trying to be feminist propaganda but ends up coming off as racist against both white and black people, and is too cynical to be enjoyable as a Christmas story.

Edit: upon further research I have found that the problems with the show are more complex than that. Aside from the racial offenses and the political issues with the show's premise, people are also complaining about the characters being unlikable and the show's raunchy humor being tasteless.

It only came out on December 2, right? In that case, it's too early to add anyway, as No Recent Examples, Please! bars Horrible entries added less than a month after release.

It's also not our place to speculate about why critics aren't leaving bad reviews — though I hesitate to believe your claim, as Variety gave a negative review and I believe they're a pretty mainstream, non-Nazi source. The criticism seems to be lauded at audience reviews, which indeed may muddy our ability to scope out legit audience criticism.

So basically, it might count, but we need to wait several weeks for the dust to settle so we can shove aside all the weird Nazi backlash and see what the general consensus is.

Okay, I get you guys playing devils advocate, but you seem to have a misunderstanding of the rules for entry onto this page. So I'm gonna go through them real quick.

Rules (Taken from the Main Page)

1. The work as a whole is truly terrible by the standard of the medium involved, with a low quality in all aspects of work creation: storytelling, drawing, writing, and so on. —- If you look at actual reviews and not just review scores, there are mostly negative reviews of the series that are not just about "nostalgia blinded babies". The common points of those legit reviews are "bad animation, bad art, unfunny humor, disrespectful attitude towards the original". These are major sources of issues that definitely would qualify as horrible outside of the last one, which can be more subjective despite it being a recurring theme in the reviews.

2. The work has a small audience, and if it's produced for profit it has poor sales. — MEANING that it isn't disqualified just because it has fans. It can have fans and still qualify as this trope. And by any objective standpoint, clearly that fanbase was not strong enough to last them a season, as the series was cancelled after all.

3. The work has been panned by multiple critics for its low quality. The work's flaws may be parodied by a number of other works, and in some cases the work may even become a pop culture-level Snark Bait. — Again, see above point. It's not just about people who are just hating to be hated, there are legit reviews of the series out there. What seems to be more of a consistent issue isn't the hatedom, but a majority of journalists who hate the fans who hate the show and will not listen to what they have to say. Something I thoroughly expect here because of the wording of those fans. The fact that many spend more time talking about fans than the show itself is a concerning idea.

And I'm gonna make it clear, I'm not and have never been a fan of Thundercats of any incarnation, so I have no nostalgic feelings for it, but the facts are facts. This show was bad, didn't catch on with its target audience or older fans and has many aspects to it that are legitimately considered bad.

It is more than qualified for an entry on this trope. And if anything, the idea that "it has fans, so it's not eligible" needs to end because that's not what the rules say, as I just quoted. And in the future, let us be civil instead of resorting to the same buzzwords. Just pointing out that people use those buzzwords, then use similar buswords like asshurt or extreme hyperbole does not make you look any better.

Don’t get me wrong, I also loathe the show, but I’m seeing more than a few positive reviews of the series on IMDb, some of which are being rated as more helpful than many of the negative reviews.

Is it more divisive than truly horrible?

I was about to suggest this as well. So far I have seen nothing positive being said about the show. The art is mediocre at best, but the real issue is that the show flaunts how "progressive" it is while proceeding to take mean-spirited, unsubtle potshots at anyone the creators don't like. For example, one scene involves a group of three straw losers wearing shirts labeled "GAMERGATE", "PEPE"(the frog), and "ANIME". The Big Bad is just as unsubtle, being a blatant amalgation of Pepe(again) and Donald Trump.

EDIT: The labelnotes got ruined by the discussion format. but hopefully everything should still make sense.

There exists, apparently, an obscure series of cartoons by Butch Hartman. I saw them and I'm pretty sure they're bad enough to land here. You can't even give them the "it's a pilot" excuse, because there are several pilots both on the Internet and by major companies that are leaps and bounds better. Here's a draft:

"Many of Butch Hartman's shows are regarded as classics, some examples being Danny Phantom and The Fairly OddParents!note . Proudly not among those ranks, however, is The Noog Network, a series of shorts quite obviously meant to be pilots or proof-of-concepts for show pitches. All of them take Talking To Himself to their logical extreme, for all characters save for two are voiced by Butch, pitch-shifted or otherwise. The voice acting itself isn't that great either, ranging from okay to phoned-in. The art and animation, while not eye-searingly bad, is still pretty shoddy; movement is consistently choppy, backgrounds and setpieces are visually sterile, and lazy tricks such as enlarging or shrinking models or mouths at an attempt at lipsyncing or to give the illusion of movement (the outro is quite literally just the intro's animation, but reversed. Of note is the titular Noog at the beginning of each short; it's painfully obvious the blasted thing is merely being dragged around, with only a few frames of looped animation on its mouth. The humor and stories are no better, with the Bug Girl short being a prime example; some kids make a few awful bug puns towards the titular character, she nonchalantly eats them by turning into a bug (the alleged main premise of the show,) and then walks off like nothing happened. What's especially interesting about these is that none other than Jeremy Chinshue, better known as TerminalMontage, is credited on four out of seven of these, and it shows. The advertisment and episode outro attempt to copy his signature shitpost/meme-esque brand of humor, but in such a way that misses the point of what makes the Something About shorts so popular; the former is just a Hurricane of Noog Puns and the latter is a limp-dicked attempt at random humor involving candy going extinct. Blend all of this together and there's no wonder these pilots were doomed to languish in obscurity, much less metamorphose into a full show. Thankfully, the shorts' Spiritual Successor The Garden was significantly better, even if it costs $130 to watch and suffers from some of the same animation issues. Take a look-see at these cartoons here, if you wish."

So would these fall under this category? Would I need to flesh out or rewrite this? Or would it fall under something different, or simply not be So Bad It's Horrible?

I agree with Larry Larry and don't see why "it's been overdone" is a good reason against adding the show to the list. If a show is infamous and universally disliked, it belongs on the list.

Wikipedia has an article on the show. The Broadcast and reception section lists some reviews that criticize various aspects of the show, not just the animation. However, it also suggests that the show (not just the art style) does appeal to a niche, which disqualifies it.

My sister showed my mom and I "Pacific Heat" and I think it deserves a spot here—it's a shameless rip-off of Archer with humor that isn't funny, characters who aren't likable and the first episode alone has a plot that's impossible to follow. The "humor" that the show offers tends to either consist of people talking over each other or has racism, sexism or some combination thereof as the punchline. The characters are not even one-dimensional and when they do show depth it's not possible to even like any of them. Pretty much all reviews of it note it as a terribly unfunny rip-off of Archer.

The story is practicality made of cliches, the characters are entirely one note, and the jokes are either pointless references to older movies, or Running Gags that were not even funny the first time. The animation is also really bad, and even worst than the first movie. The fact that was released in ''theaters' is baffling."

if you think this needs works, than go ahead, give me input

Does Coconut Fred really qualify as horrible? The only reason it seems to be so hated is because it's a Sponge Bob ripoff, and it seems to be considered simply mediocre otherwise. It also says it was nominated for two Emmys, so wouldn't that disqualify it?

Would Mr. Pickles count? It's considered by most to be the worst show on Adult Swim by far. It's usually brought up due to how disgusting it is. Both TV Trash and The Mysterious Mr Enter consider it much worse than Allen Gregory (a show infamous for being terrible). The latter also holds it in lower regard than Mega Babies.

It's flaws include hideous characters, characters who are either unlikable and/or bland, a repulsive sense of humor, stupid plots with plenty of Padding, and it tries to compensates for its lack of substance with nightmare inducing and shocking content. Is that enough.

I've noticed that a few cut entries were the result of looking at IMDB or other rating sites. I understand that using those sites is a good way to judge audience reaction, but please do not use them as the sole reason for getting stuff removed. Provide more evidence than just a score; look around for articles or reactions in forums and comment sections.

If it got good ratings, shouldn't that disqualify it automatically? Also, it got placed inbetween an example and a reply to that example, which isn't okay. Also, it didn't get turned into a link, showing that that person didn't even preview it.

Should I add Adventures of the American Rabbit?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLAof9rID5g

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTheAmericanRabbit?from=Main.TheAdventuresOfTheAmericanRabbit

Apparently, it is this 80's video bargain bin cartoon done by Fred Wolf of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame. It, like most 80's cartoons was based on some existing commercial property. This time, a series of greeting cards as with the Care Bears.

I remember catching a little bit of it on the Disney Channel, along with The Raccoons. I could never recall what happened in it, other than an interrogation scene with a gorilla in a water tank, but I thought it looked it cute. Finding out about it again in later life and sitting down to watch it I realize why I didn't understand anything going on it and why I remember The Raccoons a whole lot better.

This movie doesn't make any sense, and there are plot holes galore and all the characters are bland and without personality and there are dozens of characters, and the main character is a Marty Stu to the max. The soundtrack is a ripoff of the Chrisopher Reeve era Superman films.

Nobody seems to like this film. Under the quotes section of the main page we have a snarky comment by a critic, and the main page on it closes out with "Moral of the Story? Never let a greeting card designer make a movie."

Adding insult to injury? This film has one legitimate fan, and he is The Creator of Sonichu. There are even eerie similarities in narrative and structure between Sonichu and this film. You could argue that this film ruined that kid's life.

There are, however a few good things a can say about it, and those three good things were enough to get me through the film at least once. But only once.

  • Rob Paulsen, the Voice of Donnatello and Yakko, and
  • Lorenzo Muzak, Voice of Garfield and Peter Venkman. Both are terrific voice actors and can at least inject some personality into bland lifeless characters with their vocal inflections alone.
  • The animation of Fred Wolf. Despite the designs of the characters being a bit weird with the way the rabbits ears fold over. The animation is akin to a well animated Ninja Turtles episode. It's very detailed and "anime-ish". I hold a nostalgic fondness for this style and I'm a little sad to see it go.

Otherwise this film is a complete trainwreck. What do you guys think?

I'm beginning to wonder if IM Db, TV.com, and Rotten Tomatoes ratings should even be considered as a factor in choosing entries for this or any SBIH page.

I cut Lazer Tag Academy because it has a 6.5 on the iMDB and a 6.1 on TV.com.

Allen Gregory has a 4.7 on the IMDB, yet other entries got cut for having similar ratings. Pro Stars has a 7.1 on the iMDB and a 5.6 on TV.com. The Big World of Little Adam has a 5.8/6.5; Chip and Pepper's Cartoon Madness has a 6 on the iMDB; Kung Fu Dino Posse has a 7.1/9.8; and Mega Babies has a 4.6/5.9.

It's not on Dingo Picture's page and I doubt the have the budget (or the intelligence) to make something like this. In case the disturbing cover-art didn't scare anybody away, the movie itself will. It's another horrible Disney rip-off movie, with a hideously toxic blend of MS Paint-quality animation and barely PS1-quality 3D, replaces the seven Dwarfs with seven generic boys (and one's of them is a Blackfaced boy), horrible music, and a moronic story that hardly resembles anything it is ripping off. If anyone's needs to see a review of this piece of crap, Tennings has pretty much ripped this one a new one.

A lot of people seem to really hate this show for a variety of reasons, and i think it qualifies for a lot of reasons, including the fact iMDB gave it a 2.7, which ranks it lower than Allen Gregory. Yes, people hate Breadwinners more than what many people consider the worst show ever (Allen Gregory has 4.4). And i personally think that the "effort" put into making Breadwinners actually earn being "#1" is very poor and that all of this "praise" is just faked for publicity. The Mysterious Mr Enter made a lot more good points in his review, so i'd probably go see what he had to say to truly see if this qualifies.

And this brings up another round of problems: If people don't like the show, adult or not, it's a failure. A good cartoon should be able to be good for both children and adults, and this show fails here. There's also a huge Critical Research Failure provided by Rebel Taxi in which this show promotes feeding bread to ducks - which causes liver diseases! And as of the time of this writing, this show sank to 2.5 in iMDB; to put that in comparison, the bottom 100 list there has films 2.6 or lower. Yes, breadwinners qualifies to be put on the bottom 100. And nick would fake praise to keep the show on the air and to hide their obvious failure they've done; Nick does not want to fail so they try to keep themselves up. And to answer Aldo930, the creators of Allen Gregory knew that it was a failure from the backlash; Breadwinners doesn't seem to care or listen.

TL;DR Breadwinners fails to engage adults and kids so it fails, they forgot that "bread + ducks = No-no", and it has 2.5 on iMDB when the bottom 100 has <2.6, and the people making it don't care about their feedback.

So i guess you're going to try to defend it; while a critic may claim to like it and say that the cartoon is #1 in four weeks, you should notice this little clip of writing from your link: "Breadwinners seemed to happen almost overnight for us. We made the short over the span of a couple months, put it online, and there was an instant positive response. Within a couple of months we were developing the show at Nickelodeon, and within six months moving into full production on the first season." Note that the short was made in a couple of months to entertain other animators and features some pretty bad animation, terrible butt jokes, and irritating music. And unlike when Nickelodeon gave Fred a show (then the #1 show on youtube), the original cartoon short did not even get 150k views. Yes, Nick really is that incompetent in noticing things like that. Also, backlash by the fans is much more powerful then critics' opinions; fans of Total Biscuit made two teams of developers back off from claiming copyright on his videos sharply criticizing their games (The War Z and Guise of the Wolf) and deleting his entire channel.

While i can't make you not keep defending it, i'd like to help tell you why i think that this is a bad show and why it should go here. We all have different opinions, and i can accept that.

It has some of the worst CGI to exist (it was made in 2002, for those of you wondering), surreal imagery, a heavy-handed moral on artistic vision and whatnot (specifically one moral that says anyone who is not an artist is a horrible person because they only care about money and making your life miserable and boring), unlikeable characters (except for the villain who actually comes up with legitimate points) and it makes you wonder if everyone who worked on it was on drugs. By the way, it was created by Kenny Scharf, a surreal artist, and had the voice talents of Paul Reubens and the late Dennis Hopper. The Mysterious Mr. Enter and Hewy Toonmore have declared it to be the worst thing they ever watched. (At least in the latter's case.)

If I may express my opinion, three of the entries here should be removed.

"Yo Yogi" maybe tried too much to be hip with the kids of the early '90s. But if you can get past that, it's really not such a bad show.

"The wacky world of Tex Avery" does have a very annoying intro, that can give you a migraine. But I actually liked the shorts about Pompeii Pete.

"The king and I" is a movie, that has a very undeserved hatedom. Sure, there are better animated movies out there. But I say that most of the characters are quite likable. And I really enjoyed the love story between the crown prince and the Burmese servant girl.

Those three entries also all seem to be all about some people not liking these shows and this movie, without giving us any good reasons why. Okay, we have the villain's Asian stereotype sidekick in "The king and I". But he was only one character among many others, who were actually likable and not stereotypes...

Yo Yogi, according to our fellow forum-mate Psi001, had a few genuinely amusing episodes. (I thought so, too, admittedly.) It isn't the worst thing Yogi was in - that'd be Yogi's Gang - but it isn't very good either.

Food Fight doesn't belong here. The description is unconvincing and its YMMV page says it's either So Bad, It's Good, So Okay, It's Average, or just bad. Being just bad doesn't qualify a work as being So Bad It's Horrible.

Also, in this forum there was opposition to putting the movie on the So Bad It's Horrible page.

The show apparently does have a fan base. Some feel it went downhill after its first season - which implies it had something going for it in the first place. People like Peter Paltridge of Platypus Comix like the show.

So, no, it doesn't count.

Wait a sec.. are we talking about the "uncut" version of the movie or the "edited" version?

Originally the "edited" version was listed here along with The Legend Of The Titanic, A troper pulled it claiming that being historically innacurate and/or getting trashed by Doug Walker isn't enough to call it "horrible", and I did the same with The Legend Of The Titanic as well as pointing out the film's strong sales in Italy.

The issue here is that, while I don't think the "uncut" version is that bad either, it has more "strikes" against it that make it harder to defend.

I'm considering adding Happily n'Ever After to this list. The movie has a 4.2 on imdb, got torn apart by infamous animation, and could be called generic and mediocre if one is being generous. A fractured fairy tale set up with bored celebrity performances, an unimaginative premise and setting (which is called fairy tale land of all things), cliched humour seen in better dreamworks movies, and stiff and bland animation. It even has a sequel which is even worse. Does it qualify? It just seems to be a lazy, lazy effort not really worthy of any respect.

Regarding this.

  • The original Secret Of Nimh was a classic, well recieved animated feature from Don Bluth that boldly tried to break out of the Animation Age Ghetto with it's lush art direction, surprisingly mature story, and excellent characterization. The Secret of NIMH II, on the other hand, suddenly did a total 180, and crashed the series head-on into the ghetto. And to say it sucked would be a compliment. The animation was atrocious—stiff, limited animation peppered with mediocre drawings and garishly colored backgrounds that don't even remotely capture the lush art of the first film. The story completely went against the first film, throwing out the mature story for a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy that can be seen coming from a mile away, and in general the story is a total Cliché Storm. The characters from the first film are completely derailed in personality and have the Idiot Ball stiched to them. The acting is so bland and forced that you wonder if they're even trying. The songs absolutely stink and only serve to shamelessly cash in on the Disney musical craze of the 90's (even though the first film was clearly an Anti-Disney film). In general, the whole film completely goes against what made the original such a classic, and is one of the most infamous examples of Sequelitis outside of the Land Before Time franchise.

The animation is cheap (Bad, obvious CGI), nothing makes sense, the villian is a Designated Villain, the other characters are one dimensional, the show drops it's Family-Unfriendly Aesop (doing stuff for money and paying taxes is bad, and artists should not be forced to accept responsibility) with the intensity of a nuclear explosion, there are plot holes the size of Canada, and the songs are considered awful. It's also telling that it lasted only one episode, aired twice on Adult Swim, before it was canned.

I'm not adding it to the list YET, because there is no official consensus, and it WAS nominated for an annie "Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Short Subject". But, here is what I would put down if it WAS accepted.

  • The Groovenians, created by artist Kenny Scharf, who is known for putting pop culture icons into surreal settings, and who has a cast consisting of veteran voice actors such as Paul Reubens and Dennis Hopper. The plot is that two protagonists go from a boring planet to a bohemian planet called Groovenia. This should have been good, right? Well, viewers were treated to the one dimensional Mary Sue protagonists whining about the fact that they have responsibility, plot holes (when everything goes wrong, the normal planet turns into surreal nightmare fuel, among others), cheesy CGI, Dennis Hopper's characters SCREAM Designated Villain (Hopper's characters state the oh-so-horrifying lesson that you have to be responsible before you can be free), ANOTHER hard-hitting lesson (money is bad, and artists should not accept responsibility) and godawful songs. It lasted one episode, aired twice on Cartoon Network, and was forgotten.... until it was mocked on both Hewy's Animated Movie Reviews and TV Trash.

O Kay, here's what I got this far. I'll be editing this draft periodically: The Legend Of The Titanic (not to be confused with Titanic The Legend Goes On, which was funny by mistake) is practically everything bad about '90s-era children's cartoons. Beyond its shoddy animation, poor voicing, and painfully slow pacing, it insists on pandering to children (to the point where an octopus has a dog's face because, As You Know, children are incapable of grasping the concept of an ugly protagonist) Plot Holes to moor a ship in are abound, there are countless moments where the mood is completely uncertain, confusing and downright offensive Disney Deaths, and, as the final insult, downplays the tragedy of the Titanic like no tomorrow.

I admit, it's a stupid and fairly offensive movie, but it's still funny in some ways. 2. No offense Mr. Zeta, but "Children will accept anything" is an incredibly weak counterargument. 3. It's already been on the So Bad, It's Good page long before it was added here. 4. It and the other animated titanic movie, believe it or not, seem to have some sort of Fandom Rivalry and both movies have been occasionally added and removed from this section.

I removed this, because the Battletoads cartoon is really more of So Bad, It's Good than So Bad Its Horrible:

The Battletoads cartoon thankfully never made it past the pilot, for many reason: ◦ The animation is so absurdly limited as to be downright painful. When and if the characters move in any way that doesn't make them look like puppets with half the strings gone, they don't so much walk as slide across the ground. ◦ The dialogue takes Totally Radical to asinine levels: characters are non-ironically trying to use catchphrases like "psychotronic". ◦ The story is so distant and detached from the game as to be the plot to a completely different series — specifically The Last Starfighter, from which they stole several plot points wholesale. ◦ The characters' designs are also changed in bizarre ways, and the writing is such that no one at all is the least bit sympathetic. The three toads are now three teenage losers from an Insignificant Little Blue Planet, and from start to finish come off as brain-dead morons even though one of them*

is canonically described as a Genius Bruiser — not that the writers cared. They're not even the kind of brain-dead assholes you can get behind; they have no human pathos. Their mentor Professor T. Bird, a cool snarky dude in the games, becomes a bumbling idiot who seems like he has to wear diapers. The Dark Queen was the only character to escape Character Derailment, keeping the Alpha Bitch From Space persona she had in the games.

I wish whoever put that up hadn't used the term cripple. I dunno if they are trying to just be ludicrous or if they are actually trying to be offensive.

Anyway, I think it deserves to be up. Aside from the adaption decay it's more "offensive due to this is what the Japanese think with make Gundam take off in the west - cliche storm + the Burger King Kids Club as main characters" it got rejected by all the stations they shopped around for broadcast on presumably due to it's trite stereotyping.

Also, the wheelchair user turning into a form with tank treads = erm think that one through much Sunrise?

It's just a smorgasboard of Sunrise trying to distill what they saw as Saturday Morning cartoons as being like by distilling the general feel of said shows of the era into a ridiculous cliched mess and then throwing chibi-Woody Allen and Gary Coleman in there because. Hey, that's American right? Even taking out that this is Gundam it sucks but the only reason gets much attention is because it is based on Gundam. It might have gotten a few shares as "Sunrise tries to do a Saturday morning cartoon and fails" if the mecha had not being Mobile Suits but something generic but it being Gundam adds extra "spice" to the fail pile.

I've noticed that, for quite some time, some of the Internet reviewers' reviews of certain shows have been removed for no reason other than "don't put reviews of any reviewer on there", or something to that effect. And it has happened before, on a few other So Bad, It's Horrible subpages (Film and Asian Animation). Recently, here, someone removed the reviews for Lazer Tag Academy, The Legend Of The Titanic, and Pro Stars.

I know that a general rule of thumb of placing Internet reviewers' reviews is that they're only added when actual critics review the work. So what's the reason for those reviews getting removed, and is it vandalism when there's no reason?

I don't think there was an official ruling by the mods that you can't link reviewers in SBIH pages; I think ThirtyH (the troper that removed them) was just sick of seeing links to reviewers on these pages, and set out to delete them.

I consider it possible that show was Horrible. I did see that one when it came out, but didn't enjoy it much. Don't remember much, either...

It didn't last more than one season, which probably is just as well, considering the real Bo Jackson's careers didn't last much longer. Football is just too dangerous to do part-time.

It definitely wasn't a good cartoon, though I can't be confident on how bad. It might just be on the low end of So Okay, It's Average. However, Jordan and Gretzky have been out there with true independent fandoms for some time, abd so this show is a candidate for this page; otherwise fans of one or the other of them would be doing more to make this known or defend it.

Removed this for now.

  • Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon was the resurrection of Ren And Stimpy and an example of how some shows should stay dead. The original Ren & Stimpy was good, but was already taking everything Up to Eleven. The new hellspawn that crawled forth from Spike TV went much further. The show was made outright nauseating (which is something, given the original show), and the titular characters were made openly gay in a way that made nearly everyone squirm regardless of sexual orientation. Apparently, John K. was restrained (and eventually fired) for good reason.

It sounds horrible, but it has around a 7 on IMDB and TV.com.

Cut this and put it here for now. The film can't be horrible if it contains something truly worth watching — even if it's just a minute or two.

  • Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins, which came out around the time the first live-action movie hit theaters. It was meant as some sort of prequel/retelling/sidestory of the video game and the movie...we think. Chances are, you're better off enjoying the Gorn of the video games, the impressive stuntwork and exciting techno of the live-action movie, or the laughable stupidity of the Saturday-morning cartoon series. This trainwreck had horrible, repetitive, and downright-ugly animation haphazardly set against conspicuous outdated CGI backgrounds. If you don't think you have it in you to stomach the entire thing, then this 10-minute sampler should be enough to give you an idea.
    • The behind-the-scenes look at the movie at the end is interesting, but it's not worth watching the whole tape for. In fact, the only part of the animated movie alone worth watching is the "Meet the Mortal Kombatants" segment, which starts at 2:38 in this video.
      • It's rather strange, considering that Jennifer freaking Hale voiced Sonya in it. Yes, that Jennifer Hale.

UPDATE: IMDB gave it 5.2/10. That Other Wiki had this to say:

The TV series received a great deal of criticism from vegetarians and parents who did not like the gross-out humor. Many petitions were signed and sent to Nickelodeon to end the show. This may be a reason for its move to the Nicktoons Network and ultimately its short life. It is also the first show on Nickelodeon to utilize puppetry which many kids probably didn't appreciate as much as regular animation which could have also contributed to its short life.
As of 2010, the Nickelodeon site is still intact and working today and everything is left the same way as it was when it was on.
TV.com gave it 4.3/10.
Long story short: At worst, it's mediocre, but unremarkably so. It's not bad enough for here. I'm cutting it for now, but I'll put it here for good measure: Also, expunging So Bad Its Horrible from Main/MrMeaty

(A guy gets his head shoved up an Elephant's ass, The titular character has phone sex and the wiper fluid jets on his RV squirt at the height of the event, his kids brag about their Brother–Sister Incest.) Those easily fall into Dude, Not Funny! territory. And The Other Wiki isn't really that trustworthy.

As I said, That Other Wiki isn't the most reliable source, but is the show universally hated?

And besides, is there another source besides TV.Com that you could use as proof the show is universally hated? Try official critic sites, try finding several official sources of hate for the show that isn't TV.Com, you will find a lot, but will you find fans of the show? Maybe.

He did, he says it's not that reliable, which it isn't, but isn't that what Citations are for? To show that the facts are true? To show it's not utter horseshit? To show that they did do their homework?

If it helps, I'm not a fan of the show, but it's because I don't watch it.

Also, if the humor is unsubtle and the jokes are so offensive, then wouldn't any other offensive show be on here? Or am I missing the point?

Just being offensive or unsubtle doesn't mean it warrants a spot.

I am going to leave this alone, if you please, but honestly, Glenn Martin DDS is only going to be removed every single time people try to put it back on, others may have better arguments than I do.

Should we be listing Ctrl Alt Del: The Animated Series under Western Animation or Web Original? It's based on a webcomic after all, and it's only sold online on DVD...

I thought of that, but I don't know. It may be sold via Internet but it *isn't* actually avalaible (legally) on the Internet, up until recently you could only watch it by paying the DVDS.

Not to turn this into an argument about CAD:The Animated, but while the voice acting certainly isn't Kreed-level of bad, the performances are quite overracted and phoned in. And beside, the show has many, mnay other problems than just the acting and animation...

Proposition: No listing shows that are still in production.

Early-Installment Weirdness and It Gets Better are known phenomena in TV series. Some series need time to find their final tone.

Also, So Bad Its Horrible is supposed to cover the entirety of a work. We may make allowance for Missing Episodes; but we cannot and should not judge the entirety of a work that is ongoing.

and that's saying something for being adapted from a webcomic that is already so unpopular that even its fans can no longer defend it.

I don't actually read the comic, but can someone back this bit about Ctrl-Alt-Del (the webcomic, not the animated show) up? It sounds like sheer creator bashing.

And what does it even mean?

I think A Nonymous Mc Artney Fan re-worded that bit. I think it's really meant to say "Even the few CAD fans not banned on the forum won't defend it".

Yes, I reworded that bit. Yes, that's what was originally meant (the iteration before I rewrote included a link to Lickspittle.) I figured that if they weren't defending it on its own forum, they weren't defending it off the forum either. They don't seem to be defending it here! On this very wiki, the Hatedom is far more visible than the fandom.

I am unsure how I bashed the creator, since I hadn't thought I mentioned him — in the sentence you quoted, it's the work that's unpopular. Buckley isn't CAD.

(ETA: Darn Life Embellished webcomics...)

Sorry.

Removed this:

  • Drak Pack, the very nadir of Hanna-Barbera's output in the late 1970s. It was a desperately unfunny gag show about benevolent monsters which was made without a single ounce of imagination, creativity, or curiosity about what it might be like to be a monster.

The show has a rating of about 7 on IM Db, and the Wikipedia article paints a completely different picture, particularly with this bit: "The series had a lighthearted, somewhat satirical tone. The dialogue was rather sophisticated for a Saturday morning cartoon of its time, and made use of alliteration, rhyming, colorfully-turned phrases and pop culture references."

Hey there, I just want to elaborate about this entry. The first time I saw this cartoon was in a "shit thread" over at 4chan's /co/ board. Basically what the posters in that thread did was troll each other by showing the worst cartoons they know. Yes, this was another "angry reaction pic thread,"(they never get old). So anyway, fare usually went from annoying stuff like Angela Anaconda, to stupid "What-the-hell-were-they-thinking" stuff like Gadget Boy, Super Duper Sumos, and Butt Ugly Martians. However, whenever someone posted The Nutshack(usually accompanied by the message of "I DARE you to find something shittier..."), the tread just stops right there.

Personally, I find this cartoon to be everything there is to dislike about the Millennium Age of Animation(All Adult Animation is South Park, Lazy Motion Tween'd Animation, Toilet Humor, Totally Radical slang, "that-cursed-crunk-theme-song" etc.).

Anyway, if your curious about that strange clip with one of the main characters "summoning "the barrel man"", here's a TOW article about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_man It's basically a lewd tourist gift.

Cut this and put it here for now. Its page claims it's So Bad, It's Good, and it ran for more than one season.

  • Legend of the Dragon was a mind-numbing attempt at Dragon Ball Z-esque anime fighting shows in America. It didn't work out. The plot was literally stock and by the numbers, even ripping off elements of both Dragon Ball Z and Jackie Chan Adventures (both vastly superior shows in every possible sense). The characters were all glaring non-entities. But the worst of the worst was the animation, which is almost impossible to describe without seeing it in "motion" (using the word loosely); the animation of Legend of the Dragon makes the animation of Aqua Teen Hunger Force look like Avatar. Besides being slow and choppy, it renders the characters almost immobile. Males are almost indistinguishable from females, save for their faces. The fight scenes, arguably the point of the show, are done in what is probably supposed to be bullet time or slow motion — but it looks as if it's being paused and unpaused rapidly in succession — clearly, someone didn't draw enough frames. It's almost unwatchable because of the bargain-basement animation. The story and non-action make it boring as Hell.

Yes, they did. As said on the Looney Tunes page, if you see that logo with the technocolor minimalistic lines coming at you, and it's not animated by Chuck Jones, you will be looking at the series' Dork Age.

Id like to contset this:

  • Street Fighter Ride is a virtual reality program whose awfulness gives The Journey Begins a run for its money. Marginally better CG at the expense of some of the worst Adaptation Decay this side of Street Fighter the Movie. It's basically four minutes of Ryu and Ken flying around in hovercrafts as they hunt down M. Bison (who is 20 feet tall in this version for some reason) and pass by a few of the other characters in Street Fighter II fighting their own battles, but none of it appears to matter.

If that's not So Bad, It's Good taken Up To Eleven, nothing is.

Is there any other reasons for why The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang should be on here? The current entry just say the premise is stupid and that Seth Macfarlane (who's not exactly liked by the troper hivemind) cited it as one of the worst cartoons of all time.

Jul 5th 2010 at 10:32:53 PM •••

Okay, then. Without further evidence that it's worse than any other cartoon of its type in The Dark Age Of Animation, I'll cut this and put it here for now.

  • The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang. If you thought Happy Days jumped the shark before...well, this is worse. Explained in the intro by narrator Wolfman Jack:
    "Oh, now the gang got sucked into that time machine, and they're...like, travelling through time!"
    • You only need to know that it should never be watched without first consuming copious amounts of alcohol. To dull the senses, of course.
    • Ah, yes. The Happy Days gang, a girl from a future that is highly unlikely to turn up, a dog in a leather jacket, and a time-traveling diner with jukebox and year indicator. The goal was to get back to 1957, except when there was a Friend-or-Idol Decision, in which case some of them would reach 1957 but have to leave to save their friends... This show was cited by Seth MacFarlane as the worst cartoon of all time.
