The Top Ten

1 The Problem Solverz The Problem Solverz The Problem Solverz is an American animated television series that aired on Cartoon Network. Created by Ben Jones, it follows Alfe, Horace, and Roba, a group of detectives in their troubled town, Farboro.

What are those things

This looks like it was made in Hell!

The animation of this horrible show is a problem itself. It's ironic that they don't realize they should solve this problem!

How Is Adventure Time Higher Than This? At Least That Show Didn't Give People Seizures. Seriously This Should Be Number One! Not Number Three!

Animation was pretty good. I think most people have an issue with the character designs and even I didn't mind those (except for that disgusting green ball-shaped monster)

I Respect Your Opinion. To Me The Animation Is Decent.

One of the characters is a butt called "Fart" not joking. - Lunala

5 Breadwinners Breadwinners Breadwinners is a 2014 animated comedy television series produced by Nickelodeon. It is about the adventures of SwaySway and Buhdeuce, two ducks who drive in a rocket van delivering bread to their customers.

The animation is extremely lazy and feels like they're skipping the frames on purpose. - KalloFox34

The animation's decent, but the designs are off.

Seriously? How is this below Adventure Time? Adventure Time's animation is honestly pretty clean for an animated series. - ModernSpongeBobSucks

This is not number 1? - Garythesnail

9 The Brothers Grunt The Brothers Grunt The Brothers Grunt is a Canadian animated comedy television series by Ed, Edd n Eddy creator Danny Antonucci that originally aired from August 15, 1994 to April 9, 1995 on MTV.

This show has a very disgusting art style. - KalloFox34

Please, get this to number 1. - Not_A_Weeaboo

To think this is from the same person who gave us Ed, Edd n Eddy... I can only use two tropes to describe this show: Nightmare Fuel and So Bad, It's Horrible. Just seeing glimpses of these deformed degenerates and their straining and bulging blood veins is the epitome of Body Horror done terribly... - ModernSpongeBobSucks

I felt sick seeing the animation for the first time

The series follows the adventures of a boy named Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada) and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio)—a dog with the magical power to change shape ...read more.

This animation if fine why is this in top 10

Characters haven’t noses and realistic eyes?! Horrible

Adventure Time has some of the best animation in cartoon history. I only put it behind Avatar when it comes to best animation in an American cartoon.

The animation is great but the way characters like Finn, Bubble Princess and Marceline are drawn is just plain odd/weird/strange and stupid.

The Contenders

11 Mega Babies Mega Babies Mega Babies is a Canadian animated series created by the Tremblay brothers, Christian and Yvon, who previously had made the H-B's show SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron.

Below Adventure Time? That is it, I have officially lost my marbles. - 445956

13 Legends of Chamberlain Heights Legends of Chamberlain Heights Legends of Chamberlain Heights is an American adult animated sitcom created by Brad Ableson, Mike Clements, Quinn Hawking, Josiah Johnson and Michael Starrbury.

This has to be number one. You actively need to TRY to make animation this bad-looking. - phillysports

14 Beavis and Butt-head Beavis and Butt-head Beavis and Butt-Head is an American animated sitcom created and designed by Mike Judge. The series originated from Frog Baseball, a 1992 short film by Judge originally aired on Liquid Television.

15 Chowder Chowder Chowder is an American animated television series created by C.H. Greenblatt for Cartoon Network. The series follows an aspiring young child named Chowder and his day-to-day adventures as an apprentice in Chef Mung Daal's catering company.

The animation isn't bad, but it IS disgusting. - KalloFox34

You either love this show or you hate it. - lannypetersong

Hey! I love Chowder! - SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy

Chowder is the worst cartoon ever invented.

It's a great cartoon I used to watch it all the time when I was younger - IceFoxPlayz

The show is about four boys, who are Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick, and their adventures in South Park, Colorado.

The animation is intentionally bad. - KalloFox34

WHAT? South Park has some of the best, most unique animation! - Turkeyasylum

Lmao why isn't this #1

Because, especially during its first three seasons, South Park had more to it than just the lazy animation. - SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy

17 Steven Universe Steven Universe Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show's based around a young boy by the name of Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.

I'm sorry but the inconsistency of animation in this Is way to distracting. The designs are generic and spawned the tumblr look. Some characters look like they don't belong in the sane established universe. The colors are pretty though but a nice palette isn't enough to excuse the technical errors. I know Rebecca Sugar says the reason that the character designs will wildly vary Is to be artistic but in this sort of established universe it doesn't work. In a surrealistic nonsensical no rules world like Uncle Grandpa it works here it doesn't

The colors in this show are BEAUTIFUL. Whereas Problem Solverz, they use too many colors/flashing colors per frame.

Such an overrated, gay show. - lannypetersong

Seasons 1-2 had great animation. Season 3 was alright. Season 4 is where the quality starts to decline. - Rue

20 Rick and Morty Rick and Morty Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim.

The characters are hideous, and why is he drooling all the time? It's disgusting.

WHY though ITS AWESOME ( I watched an episode where the mutant apocalypse started and Ricky and morty had to turn themselves into these weird fleshy things so they can blend in with the other mutants) - IceFoxPlayz

Same animation as the original.

This has AWFUL looking animation! - SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy

23 Clutch Cargo

Animators back in the day clearly did not know how to animate characters mouths moving so they took the easy way out and put their own mouths over the badly drawn characters, the characters barely move and when they did its all done badly. - egnomac

Awful animation anytime the characters talked their mouths would be replaced with someone's actual mouth.

Why do people like this god awful show?! And I thought Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Flapjack's animations were bad. - SpaceGoofsGeekerBoy

This doesn't have to do with the animation, but I personally feel the art style is gross and unappealing. - Rue

28 Pickle and Peanut Pickle and Peanut Pickle and Peanut is an American animated television series that premiered on Disney XD on September 7, 2015. The series was created by Noah Z. Jones, creator of Fish Hooks and Almost Naked Animals.

31 Mickey Mouse Cartoons

The animation looks good back then but nowadays (especially the 2013 series) was just decent nor bad (depends on the animation amd the plots).

The show itself is good, but it's very lazily animated. Comes with the territory of Flash. - KalloFox34

LIE

Why? this cartoon is great... first time I see this I thought this cartoon was created on 2017.. better than most of the artstyles. - XtheXlmao

Cheap, gross, and glitchy flash. I will pass. - BigBrotherYESTotalDramaNO

33 FLCL FLCL FLCL is an anime original video animation series written by Yōji Enokido, directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and produced by the FLCL Production Committee, which consisted of Gainax, Production I.G, and King Records.

The animation style for this isn't even that bad. It's decent. It's not the best animation ever but I still wouldn't put it on this list

I strongly disagree. - Rue

40 Johnny Test Johnny Test Johnny Test is an American-Canadian animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation, for the first season, and Cookie Jar, for the remainder of the series.

Johnny Test is the worst cartoon I ever saw. It is a ripoff of Dexter's Laboratory. Johnny acts like he is a 5 year old and is the annoyingest character, come on Johnny grow up!

It looks like it's being animated by people with arthritis.

They look like chibi toddlers! And they even use photo animation. Ugh.

This Show's Animation Is So Ugly! It Should Be Number Two Next To Problem Solverz.

This has really bad animation, especially when compared to the original. Why did they have to reboot a wonderful series into something that could've come out of a mentally ill sophomore?

49 Jay Jay the Jet Plane
50 Peppa Pig Peppa Pig

I know it’s a toddler show so it’s supposed to look like some simple acrylic art, but this show looks like it was made in Nick Jr Draw and Paint. They use no color schemes or actual animation. They reuse the same pallet. Plus, they probably just erase a few steps back, screen shot, and redraw for every shot.

I did not know that ms pain was used to animate

It looks like it was created in MS Paint. Should be top.

So many other babies' shows (not just Nick Jr. shows) must be very high on thsi list! They seem like their budget is $-100000000. I give Peppa Pig a 0/10 to put it the nicest way possible. Please see PhantomStrider's list of "Top 6 WORST Kids' Cartoons" to see why. I have reasons to never be a fan of kids' shows.
