Random pop culture references is not funny. That might seem hypocritical coming from a guy who likes Family Guy, but at least the jokes on there seem to have a punchline. With Robot Chicken I feel like I'm being shown a bunch of off-the-wall what-if scenarios of old cartoons.
 
I actually really liked MAD, it's even funnier out of context. This is super cliche, but Teen Titans Go is the show i dislike the most. I don't make my whole personality hating it, but it just annoys me to no end. When they started spamming it from like 2015 to 2017, I almost completely dipped from watching CN during those years.
 
If we're counting originals then from what little I've seen I would go with The Problem Solverz but admittedly that is only like maybe a minute sans review but I would not want to check anymore. However I really only want to count shows I've actually experienced a fair majority of so I'm going with Mike Lu and Og, the forgotten awful CN original from the 90s. The one that came out the same time as Courage The Cowardly Dog. On an overall quality level it probably rises above Problem Solverz but mostly just in terms of visuals but it is such a slog filled with either boring or obnoxious characters and yeah just does not work overall.

My god it looks like CN tried to make a Nickelodeon show. It's like a bootleg of Hey Arnold and Rugrats.
 
It's really hard to think of a CN show any worse than The Problem Solverz. It's the absolute ugliest show CN has ever produced and it can physically give people migraines. It was the only show that CN didn't even bother to finish and they dumped the rest off on Netflix (frankly, I'm surprised Netflix--or really ANYONE--was interested in picking it up). Aside from that, the writing is awful and the voice acting is obnoxious, leading to a wholly unpleasant experience. Pick any other show from that same time period with an ugly art style. At least Secret Mountain Fort Awesome or Annoying Orange won't constantly flash rotating colors at you all the time.

Maybe if this show had stayed on Adult Swim, since that's where the pilot aired, perhaps it wouldn't be so badly received--ugly shows are pretty par for the course for them. Retooling this for children was a massive mistake, and as a result, it managed to beat out all other shows on the network for the bottom spot.

I had no idea it originated on Adult Swim. It all makes sense now.
 
Eliot Kid. Not a CN original show, but I associate it with CN because that's the channel I watched it on where I live. Horrid concept, every single episode would make you want to pull your hair out because they all have the same basic plot, Eliot and his 2 dumb friends imagines something that isn't actually real, makes everyone's lifes miserable by the end, the end. The characters are annoying, and the show in general is just painfully unfunny. The art style is decent, but the overall animation is nothing special. It came out at a time when I liked mostly everything that is animated, this was the first cartoon I actively despised, but I forced myself to get through it because Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated aired new episodes immediately afterwards.

But if we're strictly talking about CN originals.. it's hard to pick one because none of them are really all that bad, talking strictly about ones I actually watched more than 10 episodes of, but a lot of the 2010s cartoons are just so.. mediocre. We Bare Bears, We BABY Bears, Craig of the Creek, Summer Camp Island, all 4 of them are just so.. boring. Maybe if I were still a kid I would enjoy them more, but they feel like shows I would watch on Minimax (another cartoon channel where I live that airs a lot of pre-school content). Just boring cartoons with nothing interesting going on, with dull looking art styles, barely any background music, and none of the characters being all that funny or engaging to keep me invested.
 
What's a show that's not necessarily the worst show CN ever aired but you personally do not care for? For me it is Steven Universe. It is by no means a bad show and I did watch a fair amount of it when it first aired around 2013. It just did not stick with me in the same way it did with many other fans.

Also I might have terrible tastes because I really like Johnny Test and all of the Canadian imports lol. And I mean ALL OF THEM, even Grojband and Sidekicks. I know a lot people hate JT but I still find it fun to watch. Even more as an adult for some reason. My real world job deals with pretty intense subject matter so JT is a fun escape for me.
 
The Powerpuff Girls 2016 reboot. That show is everything wrong with most modern reboots. It also was an uncomfortable watch for me (seriously, who thought showing six year olds twerk was a good idea?!).

I have a soft spot for some of CN's most hated shows. Teen Titans Go!, Uncle Grandpa, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Out of Jimmy's Head, and even Thundercats Roar are fine in my book. But PPG 2016? That can burn for all I care.

I completely forgot about PPG 2016. Definitely one of the worst things CN has ever produced. Pan Pizza was right when he said it would be a reminder of cringe 2016 trend humor. There were so many gross episodes of that show. CN during that period loved using Boomerang like a landfill unfortunately.

Also I think Uncle Grandpa is no longer one of the most hated anymore. I remember it giving me the ick when it first premiered but it eventually grew on me. I think it officially has cult classic status now.
 
The High Frutose Adventures of Annoying Orange. This used to air in my country on Pop Max as I remember watching the show there. Honestly, as the title suggests, this show is really annoying. All what the title character does is well, annoy his fellow friends with his high squealing and nonsense. The creepy mouths on the fruit (in the style of synchro-vox, which has been used since the days of Clutch Cargo) just feels off-putting to me and the stories are just nonsensical and silly. The only plus is the only human character (aside from Weird Al) in the show because he runs the supermarket and somewhat okay. PhantomStrider even called it the worst show Cartoon Network has ever aired and I agree with him. There's other bad shows on CN I remember like Teen Titans Go!, Johnny Test and Uncle Grandpa, but none of this went even lower compare to Annoying Orange.

Unfortunately I watched so much Annoying Orange back then that I have a spot on impression of him now :/
 
That one Annoying Orange TV show never even aired on television in Denmark. As far as I am concerned, the rights to it don't even belong to Warner Bros. Discovery at all, despite it premiering on Cartoon Network in the United States. It had to be licensed to Turner in Latin America just as it got licensed to Turner in the U.S. in order to air on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and Latin America.

In other markets, it aired on non-CN networks (and apparently the only market in the Nordics to get it was Finland, where it may have possibly aired in English with Finnish subtitles due to a supposed Finnish dub listed by DubDB possibly being nonexistent).

You guys were spared lol. That makes sense, The Annoying Orange was a very popular American Youtuber. No clue if he or Toby Turner caught in other parts of the world like that.

Everyone applause these two characters, for soon getting their own spin-off full animated series!!! (who would have expected a series with PB and Marceline anyway? I know they have an upcoming comic book series which will go well with)

Watched Toy Story 5 today. It felt like another awesome escapade for the characters, while also they taught an important lesson: it's ok to be different, especially if you still like to play with toys. Lily turned from an antagonist to a hero of the movie, because of realising exactly that.

My heart goes out to anyone in Venezuela after yesterday's devastating events…
