Worst Nicktoon Episode

[Auggie Doggie]

What is the biggest Nicktoon trash episode from a certain series? You know, that episode which you cannot bear to watch for a second? The one you immediatly change the channel on? I can name some from three of those right off the back.

Hey Arnold!: Bag of Money-The whole school turns on Arnold, and for what? Money. I would have felt more comfortable watching them all become zombies in "Dawn of the Dead".

Rugrats: 'Venture Squad-This is recycling at its worst. I don't mind how they remade the Halloween and Christmas episodes to include Kimi and Dil (both very nice characters), but this was totally unnesscessary. It almost negates the adorable old "Super Mega Diaper Babies" episode from 1995-ish with its insipid material that goes nowhere quickly.

The Fairly Oddparents: Here, I can name a few.
Big Superhero Wish-Not that I hated it, but this equivalates "'Venture Squad", as the humor is dopey and it didn't live up to the great white hype.
Movie Magic-Fantastic. Trixie is a ***** again.
Ruled Out-Too gross and quite painful.
Lights, Camera, Adam!/A Case of Diary-uh-The single most painful half-hour in the entire series. The former had entirely uneffective and really lame-brained humor and I cannot find a lot of merit in the latter. Maybe I liked that "The Hunt" running gag, but the humor is so mean. And why are Chester and AJ in on Vicky's gag? WHY? THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HATE HER!
And one I haven't seen yet, but get butterflys thinking about..."It's A Wonderful Life"-The one I anticipate the least and fear the most. I was actually hoping that this was bull. For one thing, is that REALLY the title, for I think that infringes an old copyright by Republic Pictures, who really can sue Nick's ass if they weren't both Viacom subsiduaries. As for the concept and why it makes me quiver so, it has Timmy seeing the world where here was never born, and apparently, everyone seems to be happier. Mean-spirited idea, above all else.

I can't stand that episode of "Hey Arnold!". I mean, everyone is such a jerk in this episode. It's bad enough that Sid was such an ass to Arnold, but then he brings in the whole damn 4th grade to hate him too. Even if Arnold really did steal the money or whatever, why is it everyone else's business? This is one of the worst HA! episodes in history.

 

[Lonestarr]

I agree. This episode (and a few others) really make me hate Sid. I find it baffling that most HA! fans hate Lila more than him.

Also, don't be hatin' on "Movie Magic". It's hilarious. I really enjoyed the re-shoots on 'the greatest movie ever' and "Hamlet" with Arnold Schwarzengerman ("Yurick, I'll be back...with weapons!").

An episode I can't stand: "Silent But Deadly" (The Angry Beavers). The show delivers on crazy situations and funny repartee between Norb and Dag, but here...all there is to this is the two of them waking up to a dam filled with wolverines. And? Not only is this episode painfully unfunny, but it goes against the premise more or less delineated earlier in the paragraph. It's no mystery why I never saw this on Nickelodeon and ended up running across it (by accident) one day on Nicktoons.

That, and the whole idea's already been done at least three times.

I don't really care for Lila either, but Sid is just a rather bad character. The character on HA! that I can't stand is Arnold's weird cousin Arnie. I think Arnie's episodes are same of the worst.

"Ihe Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker"(FOP) -I hated Timmy for what he did. I know he was trying to helping Crocker out but he he ended up screwing up his whole life causing him to become the mean bitter crazy fairy hunting teacher that he is.

I never saw "It's a Wonderful Life". Did that air in another country?

 

[Classic Speedy]

Ren & Stimpy- "Son of Stimpy", "A Scooter for Yaksmas", "Who's Stupid Now?", "Double Header".

Rocko's Modern Life- "Closet Clown", "An Elk for Heffer".

Pre-Dil Rugrats- "Chankuah", "I Remember Melville".

Pre-Disney Doug- Meh, was never a big fan of "Doug's Fan Club".

SpongeBob- "Mermaidman & Barnacleboy IV", "My Pretty Seahorse", "The Sponge Who Could Fly", "Safety Freak", "Born Again Krabs", "Welcome to the Chumbucket".

Some of you voted for that very fact as one of the biggest Nicktoon surprises in history. (Speaking of which, voting has officially closed for The Nicktoon Rewards 2004, and I'll be posting the results shortly.)
One personal worst: "Phoebe's Little Problem". I was waiting for Helga and Gerald and Arnold to help Phoebe, but one of them didn't show up, and one who was in it only mentioned Phoebe's sleepovers. Guess who the other one was. Surprisingly, this didn't win Worst Ep of 2004.

Yeah, this episode was too awful for words

Worst Spongebob: Grandma's Kisses. (Absolutely stupid the only good bit was the freeform jazz joke.)

Worst Danny Phantom: Splitting Images (Stupid moral based on a coincidence. Not even the Box Ghostcould save that one.)

Worst Rocko: The one with the food processor that had no dialogue at all.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Worst Spongebob: Grandma's Kisses. (Absolutely stupid the only good bit was the freeform jazz joke.)

Wow, that's one of my faves. SpongeBob's many many different methods of crying at the end, the ridiculous exaggeration of how SpongeBob (and eventually Patrick) loved to be babied, the hilarious facial expressions- it all adds up to hilarity for me.

Agreed 1000% on DP; Danny doesn't get a chance to explain himself and he gets the short end of the stick from start to finish. How's that for justice?!

Sorry, but I must go with "With Friends Like These..." as the worst RML episode. Not once do Heffer or Filburt consider Rocko's feelings/opinions about who he wants to take to the WWWWF match.

As for SS, I find that even the bad episodes have a great gag in them. My picks: "I'm With Stupid" ("Turn it over. There's a letter."), "Claws" (the Jaws-like music), "Squilliam Returns" (inside Spongebob's brain), "Nasty Patty" ("Yes. They are all idiots, aren't they?"), "Krab Borg" (sorry, but I can't think of a great gag here) and "The Sponge Who Could Fly" (ditto).

 

[Rover_Wow]

I cringed when I saw "Longest Monday" for the first time. I also didn't like the end of "Arnold Betrays Iggy" either. Wolfgang, Edmund, Sid and Stinky should have had theirs at the end, but no sirree.

Edited to add:
Meanwhile, some guy at TV Tome says about "Splitting Images":

Spoiler

Darkone: "As much as I love Danny, Pointdexter was right. Danny was being a total bully, and kinda deserved what he got. Luckily, at the end of the epi, he realizes and corrects his mistake." Then again, look at the replies... http://tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowForumPage/showid-8938/threadid-49755/

Wonder if it went something like this:
(Pointdexter calls Danny a bully for beating up on Dash)
D: What?... but.... (his next words would be "Dash had it coming", but he's cut off by P calling D a bully again)

Yeah, something like that.

SpongeBob: People, people, people. Have you forgotten Squirrel Jokes??? SpongeBob and Sandy out of character and mean to boot, acrid stench of political correctness, and not a funny joke in sight. Has a bad Mermaidman lead-in, too.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Squirrel Jokes was classic just for the times SpongeBob bombs on stage and his expressions while doing so. Plus it has great timing on the scene where he walks off-stage, and you think he's not going to make fun of Sandy, then jumps back out and says "HOWDY Y'ALL!!!!!"

And Mermaidman & Barnacleboy 3 was the last good MM&BB episode. I think it helped that they weren't in most of it. The rehabilitating of the villain was gold- the tickle belt gets me every time. "Frequency rising!!! Tickling my DNA!"

The scene that clinched it was Manray giving SB his helmet after he changes his ways, and instead of revealing his identity he just becomes a headless body.

Worst episodes for me is that Rocket Power episode where they get away with ruining that old guy's pool. That and "Susie's Trike" episode where it cemented my semi-disdain for the character Susie.

I don't know why, but I sort of liked "The Sponge Who Could Fly". I mean, the whole "Joe Mama?" bit was hilarious, but the overall episode was stupid. One episode of SS that I can't stand is "Safety Freak". This is the episode where Spongebob breaks his butt and is afraid to go outdoors, so he decides to live the remainder of his life indoors. This episode raises Patrick's stupidity level to maximum and the ending of this episode was just plain weird(and very very confusing).

Worst Rocko: The one with the food processor that had no dialogue at all.

"Fatal Contraption"? I loved that one! Just as delightfully twisted as any other "Rocko's Modern Life" episode, if not more so, but made unique by its lack of dialogue. It's probably just overshadowed by the short that preceded it, the Earth Day musical "Zanzibar".

My pick for worst "Rocko" goes to "Speaking Terms". The flashbacks were funny, but the plot seemed hackneyed, and Filburt was pretty out of character - he's not really the type who'd exploit his friends' feud just to get on TV.

FOP:
That's Life - That scared the living heck out of me. Including the ending.
Magic Mic episode - I just wanted to smack Vicky after what she did in that episode.

Were you offended by the mistletoe scene in Son of Stimpy?
