As you guys know, I'm an animation nerd. Over the years, I have seen these abominations that don't deserve to exist. Since I love doing this for you guys, I'm going to list the top 10 WORST episodes of any animated series EVER!


10. Arthur's Big Hit (Arthur, PBS) I decided to put this one low on the list since this is an episode of Arthur and I don't watch Arthur anymore, but this episode's moral was so HORRIBLY handled, I had no choice but to put it here. In this episode, Arthur is building a model plane, only for D.W. to destroy it (she threw it out a window, assuming it can fly ). Arthur punched her in a fit of rage, and she told her parents. Arthur was punished for violence, but D.W. was never punished at all for the destruction of Arthur's plane. Then the kicker, Binky, the bully (I'm writing this from memory), punches Arthur due to peer pressure (he was forced to hit the first person he saw by his peers). As a result, he told his dad. But his dad went and said "Maybe that's how D.W. felt when you hit her?" WHAT! THE! HELL! He basically never cared that some random person hit his OWN son! To quote TheMysteriousMrEnter *Imitating Arthur's Dad*: "Ha ha, you're getting bullied at school. Karma's a bitch, ha son!" He then THANKS Binky for hitting him.


9. What can Possibly Go Wrong (Bubsy Pilot) The only failed pilot on this list, I'm tackling what is known to be one of the worst cartoons ever made from the 90's. Basically, Bubsy's younger relatives are coming over to celebrate their birthday. Bubsy then sees a program on the news requesting that someone brave enough come test a helmet that can basically warp reality (if I had that helmet, I'd use it to get me a castle, a hot tub, and a bitchin' hot rod).  Some evil cat lady sends her mooks to go retrieve it, but since they are even LESS competent than Scratch and Grounder from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (my nephew loves that show, so I watch it with him to keep him company.), they naturally fail. Eventually, they kidnap the twins, which have had the helmet, and prepare to eat them. Bubsy then storms through the rich bitch's mansion to get the helmet back. He succeeds because he's a Marty Stu in this. Needless to say, this didn't work as it's a failed pilot based of a weak series of games.


8. Foster's Goes to Europe (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Cartoon Network) Before I begin this, I'd like to say that Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends was an amazing show from beginning to end with a few bad episodes. This is one of them. Mac basically won a trip to europe, so he attempts to bring the main cast with him. However, things don't work out well. For starters, everyone INCLUDING Mr. Herriman, the one who made Frankie rearrange a picture that was 1/16th of an INCH crooked, was lazy as hell .The kicker here, Madame Foster STOLE the tickets from Mac, making this episode suck even more! If they at least succeeded, this wouldn't be on this list. 


7. It's a Wishful Life (The Fairly Odd Parents, Nickelodeon) I was never really a big fan of the Fairly Odd Parents, but I thought it was a good show nonetheless (until Poof was added). This episode however is so bad that it makes the later episodes feel better. Let's begin, Timmy is shown doing good deeds for everyone, but everyone acts like a total dick to him about it (Mr. Bickels was pissed at his art style, AJ was given an outdated computer, and Timmy's parent's wanted to win the worst lawn award). Ok, I know for fact that Art does NOT take a simple minute to make, outdated computers don't come cheap, and WHO THE HELL WANTS TO WIN THE WORST LAWN AWARD?! Timmy proceeds to wish that he was never born, and then it's revealed that everyone's life is better WITHOUT Timmy. Ok, that's just cruel. Do I need to go any further? Timmy then fixes everything in the end (Jorgon happened to be there as an antagonist, if Timmy doesn't find anyone with a sucky life, he sends Timmy to "The Dimension of Kids that wished they were never born") by stealing his wand.


6. The Splinter (Spongebob Squarepants, Nickelodeon) It's only going to get worse from here, folks. This episode deals with Spongebob getting a splinter, but what makes this episode suck is that it's FUCKING disgusting. The end is just... . Just watch this without hurling: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dEnzS…


5. Town and Out (The Powerpuff Girls, Cartoon Network) Along with Foster's, PPG was a good show as well. However, this episode is pretty crappy on it's own. I know it's supposed to portray how the PPG would work in a realistic scenario, but everyone happens to be a total dick to the PPG, ones that can nearly kill anyone (just ask Mojo-Jojo when he stole their candy), the jokes were just mean-spirited, and it was overall a weak episode. It just felt like an excuse to just turn the PPG into butt-monkeys (a trope used to describe a character that takes abuse regularly. For example, Meg from Family Guy)


4. I Only Have a Surprise for You (Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Cartoon Network) Oh boy, another bad Foster's episode. In this one, it shows how Bloo always had an unexpected surprise party for Mac, embarrassing the latter. They say a party is for a friend named Arty (who is in the episode, so it seems legit). Mac is hell-bent on preventing it, since he has a feeling that it's for himself. So he crashes it, until Arty comes in saying the party was for the latter. Mac feels remorseful UNTIL it's revealed that the party WAS for Mac, and Arty was just a disguise used by Madame Foster. 2 words Madame Foster: Fuck. You!


3. One Coarse Meal (Spongebob Squarepants, Nickelodeon) Be honest, you actually expected this, didn't you. Basically, to save trouble, I'll give a bare bone summary of it. Mr. Krabs (disguised as Pearl) goes stalking Plankton (who has a fear of whales) and nearly drives Plankton to suicide. BTW, they play the suicide attempt for LAUGHS! That's NOT funny, that's just evil.


2. A Pal for Gary (Spongebob Squarepants, Nickelodeon) This episode is the REASON why Spongebob needs to end. Basically, Spongebob is wondering what Gary does when he's at work, and thinks he feels pretty damn lonely (fair enough). So Spongebob decides to get Gary a friend, so he finds a Nudibranch stand. He steals one, but the lady at the stand tells him that they HATE other pets. He brings it home anyway. He is completely oblivious to how the creature (named Puffy Fluffy) acts around Gary, and just keeps blaming Gary. It gets worse, boys n girls. When Spongebob goes to sleep, Gary now has to fight for his life through the night while Puffy Fluffy becomes a total monster. When Spongebob sees the destruction, he finds Puffy Fluffy eating Gary. His reaction: "GARY! Put Fluffy down RIGHT NOW!" So Gary saves Spongebob, but punishes Gary for driving Puffy Fluffy away. Ok, I need to say this: WHAT AN IDIOT! He just SAVED YOUR FUCKING LIFE, and you treat him like SHIT! 


And for...


1. Everyone Knows It's Bendy (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Cartoon Network) This has got to be the worst episode of FHfIF. Why? I'm going to let this video explain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbegfF… . By the way, you know an episode is bad when the WRITER hates it. Yes, Lauren Faust, the writer, HATES this episode. This is the good example of "Good shows can have bad episodes".


I'm DrEarthwormRobontik, and see you later boys n girls

Personally, my least favorite episode of Family Guy is "The Peanut Butter Kid." But not for reasons you think. 

Yes, of course Peter and Lois should be despised and be carted away as WORST PARENTS EVER, but that wasn't the main reason behind this episode. 

It just treats the whole world of acting as an evil place and that no one should ever, ever EVER try acting, not even for fun. 

When Brian showed that chart of child actors gone bad, it left a groan in my stomach as if I was listening to the same punchline over and over again. Not all child actors turn out bad. In fact, most of them turn out good. 

I'm not sure if this was the point of the film or not, but it sounded as though Family Guy was making an anti-acting episode this time around. I don't know, it's probably just me. But either way, it's a sign the show has gone from raunchy and funny to smug and just plain cynical. That's why I haven't watched a full episode for months.

All I can say is Imaginary friend kind (in spite of what their names suggest)  is the biggest jerk/sociopath in living existence. More so than humans.


In fact, almost ALL imaginary friends are great big JERKS and SOCIOPATHS!



And so is DW. DW is a selfish, troublesome, bratty nightmare from the very very beginning. And EVERYONE in Elwood city and the universe and their siblings is on HER side just because she is at a younger age. Thank goodness Arthur still has a REAL sister in Kate.

I agree on I Only Have Surprise for You! Its my least favorite Foster's episode [I also detest Imposter's Home (I feel sorry for Frankie suffering torment and cruelty), Foster's Goes to Europe (also where Mac suffers harshness and cruelty), etc.]. Not only that, it also ruined and derailed my like of the show, which is sad, because I like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends for good reasons (although I'm more of an Ed, Edd n Eddy fan) and I remembered enjoyed watching it, but I wish it needs to be a tad better and the episode was so bad, painful, and mean-spirited, it made me stop watching the show. I've watched this episode (well parts of it) once along time ago and since then I tried to avoid watching it and the screen-caps, because but it was painful to see and it was so bad and cruel. This episode was one of the main reasons why Bloo is one of my least-favorite characters and why I'm not a huge fan of him (much like how my most hated Ed, Edd n Eddy episode If It Smells Like an Ed was the reason Jimmy gets a lot of hate). He is such a huge prick to Mac in the episode and although its not the first and only time he was a D-bag, but he is without a doubt the worst character in the episode and it made me wanna kick him in the genital area HARD. I can't believe that the whole Foster's home, even those that I like and are likable such as Frankie, were also D-bags and were so mean and cruel to Mac. Its like they hate/dislike him, don't care about him, didn't feel ashamed and apologized to him, wanna make him miserable, and they're so stupid, dumb, and completely out of character. It makes me wanna bring a hungry Giganotosaurus in the house in this episode as well as making me wanna slap the whole Foster's residents across the face and I don't wanna do that, because I like Frankie, as well as Wilt and Eduardo, but the episode just did them no favors. Even the stupid "Imaginary kid" (Madame Foster in disguise) was so forgettable, I even forgot that his name was "Arty" and even his appearance and design was unmemorable. The way it ended was really like a cliffhanger. Its like the episode isn't really finished and done at all.

Maybe another punishment would be to send them to the "DETENTION DIMENSION" a.k.a "DETENTION X". It's a nightmarish never region for unruly ingrate characters such as themselves are condemned to classroom punishments that last an eternity. In addition to that, knowing how strong and brave they're clamming to be, they will only understand the most extreme measures of punishments. To accomplish this you first need to exploit their physical weaknesses. For starters,make them hold stacks of heavy books with their hooves or hands without using their magic or wings, next since they'll be in front of their separate classrooms fill them up with every villain or foe they've encountered since the series began(better yet copy duplicates of their friends and families) and take this opportunity to humiliate them by exposing them wearing their most embarrassing clothing and undergarments. Finally summon the FEAR FACTOR by bringing their worse fears and nightmares to life. Since friendship and togetherness is said to be that important to every pony, within their separate classrooms, they'll have to face their fears with no one to help them or help each other. If all goes well, this should whip the discipline into them in no time.

Oh my god, "A Pal for Gary". I remembered watching that episode and this sums up my reaction to the ENTIRE episode:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNHYTe…

How is that Spongebob thought that was a good idea to bring in Nudibranch to his home, they're natural predators of sponges and the owner specifically stated that they hated other pets!!! Why did he have to blame Gary for saving his life at the end, it's like a pitbull saving its owner from a mugger only to get accused for having rabies!!!

Somebody cancel this sh*t right now, you're basically killing what was once a good show.

IMO Poof is terrible because the writers don't use him creatively, They had an episode where Timmy felt ignored by Cosmo and Wanda, and that was creative. But they aren't creative. I like Poof, but they just didn't use him in the ays they could have.
But I despise Sparky with all my hate.
