Top 10 Least Favorite TV Show Episodes by air30002

Hello all!

So I'm going to try something different. I have a few rants and rankings coming up soon, but they aren't quite ready yet. Since I haven't posted anything in a little while, I figured it's time to post something.

Tonight, I present to you: My Top 10 Least Favorite TV Show Episodes!

Of course, I will be focusing solely on cartoons here as you can see. Enjoy!

(FYI: I apologize in advance if I start to go on a rant during this.)



10. Tot Watchers (Tom and Jerry)

Reasons - Bogus Ending and Punishment of the Innocent

At #10, we begin with...TOM AND JERRY?! I know, I can't believe it either. Tom and Jerry is one of my favorite cartoons ever, and it always will be. But this is one of the very few episodes that just pissed me off. In this episode, a babysitter comes over to watch a baby. The babysitter is just a total idiot. All she does the entire time is gossip with her friend on the phone. That is, until Tom starts trying to catch Jerry. Jerry jumps into the baby's crib and when Tom picks up the baby for half a second, the lady just starts to smack him. Now this seems normal for a Tom and Jerry episode, right? Well it starts to get bad after this. When the baby gets stuck in Spike's dog house, Tom saves him and of course, gets tortured by the "babysitter". The baby then escapes AGAIN and starts to crawl all over the town. This causes both Tom and Jerry to run through the streets, run across an unfinished skyscraper, and for Tom, get covered in cement and get beat with a hammer! When they finally arrive home with the baby all tired, the babysitter had called the cops and Tom and Jerry get arrested for "baby-napping"   So after all that, Tom and Jerry get punished for basically saving the baby's life. Thankfully, there aren't any episodes in the series as bad as this.  



9. Imposter's Home For Um...Make'em Up Pals (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)

Reasons - Handling the moral of the story horribly

Another series that I like a lot. No kidding, I thought this was one of the best cartoons on TV for a long time! But like Tom and Jerry, it had its bad episodes during it's run. In this episode, a new imaginary friend named Goofball is welcomed into the house. The problem is, he looks just like a human. And Frankie agrees. While everyone believes he is an Imaginary Friend, Frankie spends just about the entire episode trying to prove that he is a fraud. What makes this episode so bad is that Goofball is treating Frankie like crap and Mr. Herriman keeps punishing Frankie.   This goes on for a while until Frankie draws to drastic measures and even dresses herself up as an imaginary friend. In the end, it turns out that Goofball IS an imaginary friend after all. So at the beginning of the episode, Frankie went on and on about how she is always right. And she got proved wrong. Ok, I get it. But did they have to handle it in the worst possible way they could? You will see this brought up again in a later episode during this countdown.



8. All that Glitters (SpongeBob)

Reasons - Lack of Humor and Rude Characters

For a very long time, this was my least favorite episode of SpongeBob. Here, SpongeBob has to grill the "Monster Krabby Patty", which is about 50x the size of a normal Krabby Patty. While trying to flip it, his spatula breaks. For the next few moments, all we get is...
                               
You get the point. And this starts to get beyond stupid, to the point where SpongeBob's spatula is in the HOSPITAL   So SpongeBob accepts the fact that he needs a new spatula. He ends up buying a very expensive spatula that costs him everything including the clothes on his back. And go figure, the Spatula somehow punches SpongeBob and abandons him. SpongeBob then goes to the hospital to try and apologize to his spatula but doesn't accept his apology...wait WHAT?   Anyway, his spatula eventually forgives him and everything goes back to normal. It's pointless, not real, and it is not really funny.



7. Screams of Silence - The Story of Brenda Q (Family Guy)

Reasons - Shocking amount of violence and taking the lesson way too far

Family Guy may be great IMO, but not this episode! So here, we start with the guys finding out that Quagmire tried to commit suicide. Because of this, one of his relatives, Brenda, comes to visit him. Now, she is in horrible condition, you know why? Because of her abusive boyfriend who is a total B***H! Now I get the moral: Abuse is horrible, and shouldn't be done. But they go on with Brenda getting beat nonstop for the first 15 minutes of the episode! And it gets worse everytime! The guys know that something must be done. So they make up a plan to kill, KILL her boyfriend. But he finds out. He knocks out Peter and Joe, and then attempts to choke Quagmire to death. But because of his experience with suffocating, he is alive and runs him over, killing him instantly.   This episode is just horrid, and attracted a lot of negative attention from many critics.



6. Little Yellow Book (SpongeBob)

Reasons - Squidward is OOC and the episode is just dark

After almost a year of not watching SpongeBob, I gave it another chance. This was the episode I saw   At the Krusty Krab, Squidward finds SpongeBob's diary. For the next 5 minutes of the episode, he just laughs at SpongeBob's personal stuff, embarrassing him in the process. The townspeople eventually get so mad, they put Squidward in old fashion handcuffs and throw rotten food at him. Squidward apologizes to SpongeBob, in which he accepts. He then says that it was just his work diary and glad that it wasn't his personal diary, which he has. He then tells the townspeople to forgive him. But guess what? Squidward starts reading his PERSONAL DIARY!!   SpongeBob runs off crying and Squidward is hated even more. The problem I have with episode is that in the April Fool's episode, Squidward pranked him and then felt really bad. Is this episode, he couldn't care less about SpongeBob. Very mean spirited overall.  



5. Fairly Odd Pet (The Fairly Odd Parents)

Reasons - Puts the future of TFOP in jeopardy

I'm just going to say it...I totally don't despise this episode. Timmy gets a Fairly Dog, Sparky, who can do just about anything (Adventure Time Reference??) and Sparky joins the series. It's actualy ok. But the reason this is so high up on my list is because I think it will completely ruin The Fairly Odd Parents. Sparky is nothing but a ripoff of Jake from Adventure Time. I hope the series will survive, but this could very, very bad.  



4. One Course Meal (SpongeBob)

Reasons - Mean Spirited to the point where you are rooting for the "antagonist".

Spongebob...SPONGEBOB! Out of every show ever to air an episode like this, I'm shocked. So in this episode, Mr. Krabs finds out the Plankton is afraid of whales. Ironically, Mr. Krabs daughter is a whale. So Mr. Krabs just uses his daughter to scare Plankton to the point where he wants to commit suicide. What a great thing to show 7 year olds, right? NO!   I never knew why so many people disliked Mr. Krabs until this episode aired. I would guess about 95% of the fanbase is rooting for Plankton. And sure enough, Spongebob comes to the rescue, telling Plankton that Mr. Krabs is afraid of mimes. So Plankton finally gets back at him by trapping Mr. krabs and forcing him to be next to a mime. Let's end it now! Nope. Instead, Spongebob shows a projection of whales on the Krusty Krab windows, scaring Plankiton away, and Mr. Krabs of course wins!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???    

I feel so bad for Plankton. And ever since this episode, I have been rooting for him. I hope one day he finds the formula. That would be great!



Ok, now the Top 3! Honestly, any of these could be #1, but this is what I ended up with:



3. Sundae Muddy Sundae (Total Drama All Stars)

Reasons - Everyone is OOC and there is much Character Derailment

If you've seen me on DeviantART, you will know that I am a huge fan of the Total Drama series. However, I did not like Total Drama All Stars that much. This episode completely ruined Season 5 of Total Drama. Let me explain: One of the characters, Courtney, has been through quite a lot on this show, from lawsuits to being the main antagonist to being cheated on by her ex-boyfriend. She has never really been well liked by the rest of the TD cast. Well, in Season 5, she started to change a lot. Sure she was still uptight, but you could tell that compared to past seasons, she was becoming much better. She had a brand new relationship with a guy named Scott and made up with her best friend, Gwen. Going into this episode, she seemed to have a clear path to the crown. What happened next? She planned to BETRAY Gwen and Scott and win the million. In this episode, she goes right back to being nothing but an antagonist and is beyond unlikeable. Courtney treats everyone like crap in this episode and I just can't believe it. By the end of the episode, she and Gwen are no longer best friends, Courtney and Scott are no longer a couple, and she is eliminated. Just so you know, those were 2 of the 3 major plotlines this season. The writers just tossed them aside completely. This episode made about 20% of the TD fan base quit! Even people who despise Courtney can't stand this episode! And the errors in this episode are ridiculous. Courtney stated this is the furthest she has ever made it (Final 5). In Season 2, she made it to the Final 4. They even forgot Gwen's eyes for half a second! Really, it is pathetic, and I will NEVER forgive the TD writers for doing that.  



2. Everyone Knows It's Bendy (Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends)

Reasons - Torturing of the Innocent and no karma for the antagonist

Even the creators knew this was bad. So in this episode, we are introduced to a brand new imaginary friend, Bendy, who at first looks pretty shy and scared. But this all starts to change. Bendy turns out to be nothing but a selfish brat who breaks things and blames it on the others.  And Mr. Herriman can't take a hint. Bendy gets away with just about EVERYTHING, while Bloo, Wilt, Coco, and Ed all get in trouble for nothing! So Bloo finally decides to get back at him. He is able to get a picture of Bendy breaking all the rules and causing him to flood the entire house. So who do Mr. Herriman and Frankie blame? You guessed it: BLOO!   So, Bendy destroys the house and gets away with everything, while the protagonists get blamed. Smooth move.   



1. A Pal For Gary (Spongebob)

Reasons - Torturing of the Innocent x100 and the main character has half a brain cell

I know, Spongebob has appeared a lot in this. But there is a really good reason for this. Since the post-movie era, Spongebob is nowhere as good or creative as he once was. This episodes shows it loud and clear. Sometimes I wonder if the writers of Spongebob watched "Everyone Knows It's Bendy" and then asked "Ok, how can we make it even worse?" Well, I don't know how they did it but they did it.

Playing the role of Bendy - Puffy Fluffy
Playing the role of Mr. Herriman and Frankie - Spongebob
Playing the role of Bloo, Coco, Wilt, and Ed - Gary

So we start at the Krusty Krab where Spongebob is worried about Gary being home alone and very lonely. To fix things, he buys, or steals, a pet named "Puffy Fluffy"   But the thing is, Gary is fine at home, watching old cowboy shows and learning how to be like one. When Spongebob gets home, he shows Gary the new pet, who actually turns out to be a killer monster. Puffy starts to break things and scare the living crap out of Gary. But Spongebob literally blames EVERYTHING on Gary! Puffy even tore up a toy in front of Spongebob and didn't even notice!   This goes on for the majority of the episode until overnight, when Puffy Fluffy evolves into a killer monster. He tries to kill poor Gary and Puffy Fluffy manages to destroy SpongeBob's house in the process. Does Spongebob notice? What do you think...  So finally, Spongebob wakes up to see Puffy Fluffy about to eat Gary alive. I'll give you 5 seconds to guess what Spongebob says.....

"GARY! You put Puffy Fluffy down right now!"

&#^#   *#&#*^   ^$%    ^ ($)*#&*^@!@!!!!!!!!!!!                         


Enough of my anger, Gary uses his cowboy knowledge to chase Puffy Fluffy away and save both Gary and Spongebob. And, of course, Spongebob is still mad at him! So now, Spongebob takes him everywhere that he goes.

I feel so bad for poor Gary. As MoBros said, he is fighting for life life because his owner is dimwitted and stupid!

 CONGRATS! YOU HAVE WON THE WORST EPISODE OF ALL TIME!


Thanks for reading, and be sure to watch me! There will be much more where that came from!
