Top 10 Things that Make a Cartoon Episode Bad

My favorite example would be Family Guy,Sanjay and Craig, and especially Breadwinners. Looking at what kids of today find funny I worry for the next gneration, growing up doing stupid things and having no good sense of humor

For me, the South Park episode "Breast Cancer Show Ever" comes to mind.

The Splinter in a nutshel

Pretty much a lot of Modern Family Guy or SpongeBob episodes that just want to bee disturbing or disgusting just for the sake of it and goes way overboard with it and to a lesser extent "Ren Seeks Help"

Pretty much every Squidward torture porn in a nutshell where an episode punishes or tortures a character for literally no good reason.

This has loud house written all over it proof Lincoln Torture Porns

Cough cough modern SpongeBob cough cough

Yeah, talk about it... - Squidward Tentacles

This definitely should be number one. Family Guy does this crap so much and it's one of the main reasons why I hate that show

I just dislike it when people make jokes out of serious things.

I'm looking at your Family Guy and Amazing World of Gumball that both tackled a similar serious subject matter and failed horribly at it which is abusive relationships

There are way too many to name just a few examples Someone's in the Kitchen with Sandy horribly ripping off Imitation Krabs, Sanjay and Craig's Fat Baby ripping off Ren and Stimpy's Son of Stimpy/Stimpy's First Fart.

Also, Seat To Stardom ripping off Camera Shy in Rocko's Modern Life

Those episodes where one character acts really horribly towards other characters in an episode and faces no punishment for their actions such examples "Everyone Knows It's Bendy" and every Patrick's a prick episode.

Patrick examples keep in mind I'm only including the main ones from 6-8
Stuck in the wringer
Pet Sitter Pat
The Card
The Splinter
Yours Mine and Mine
ShuffleBoarding
Big Sister Sam
Oral Report
Gone

That episode in the thumbnail has to be one of the worst SpongeBob episodes.

I can't believe Gary didn't went crazy mad on Patrick at the end, did Patrick brainwash him?

One example is the Fairly Odd parents episode "It's a Wishful Life" where Timmy does good deeds for everyone only for everyone to be incredibly spiteful and ungrateful for what he does that he wishes that he was never born only for Jorgen to happily show him that everyone is much happier that he never existed.

Too many episodes do this they have a really good idea but end up squandering any potential the episode could have had a few examples The Loud House's One of the Boys, and "Oral Report" from SpongeBob Squarepants and one from Courage the Cowardly Dog "Ball of Revenge"

You know those episodes where they literally have almost nothing happening for a good chunk of the episodes and take forever to get to the point usually because they have to pad out the episode because either they couldn't come up with anything or were too lazy fill up a 22 minute or even 11 minute episode to quote Mr. Enter "Either be funny or get to the plot".

So every anime episode when they reach the "official championship quarter finals" point - Stakamakataka

Episodes where a character acts like the complete opposite of how they would normally act

Modern Spongebob

there are some good ones the My Leg episode and Butters very own episode because before that he was a background character he was also a major character in an episode before that Two Naked Guys in A Hot Tub that I also liked

Two episodes from South Park that come to mind is Pip and A Million Little Fibers both star a secondary character that aren't capable of carrying an entire episode.

I loved that “My Leg” episode :(

While I do agree that Chloe wasn’t a good character, her addition kind of makes sense on a logistical standpoint. The Fairy Counsel banned fairy babies (meaning no new fairies) and any new godkids had to share fairies with existing godkids.
However, that doesn’t justify her being a one dimensional character. Still, I know what I’m saying when I say I’d rather have Chloe over Sparky any day.

Chloe Carmichael completely ruined FOP.

Chloe. Carmichael. enough. Said.

Perfect example Lisa Goes Gaga from the Simpsons.

That photo is of the worst of the Simpsons

Just an example "Demolition Doofus" where Mrs. Puff tries to murder SpaongeBob after he cripples her then doesn't show even the slightest bit of remorse.

So? This gives us backstory to the character and why they did what they did.

An Obvious Example is The Pre-Season 2 Lord Cucuface From Madeline.
