movies/tv Least Favorite Episode(s) of your Favorite Shows (Besides MLP)

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,596]

We can all agree that even the best shows (Animated and Live Action) have a few subpar or just plain awful episodes. What are they for you?

For me, it would have to be "I've Got Batman In My Basement" and "Cold Comfort" from Batman: The Animated Series.

Despite the reputation that The Great Divide from Avatar the Last Airbender has I actually like it and it isn't my least favorite Avatar episode.

That honor would go to Bato of the North.

Mainly due to how Aang was acting pretty out of character in it and I couldn't finish the episode because it was bothering me too much.

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,596]

I love Star Wars: Rebels, but I did not care for "The Forgotten Droid". Admittedly, I like the followup episode "Mystery Of Chopper Base" better, but both remain my least favorite episodes of Season 2.

[Megas 27,742]

Megas XLR is one of the few shows I can think of that didn't have episodes I'd outright call bad, though "A Clockwork Megas" and "Ice, Ice Megas" were pretty dull compared to just everything else the show had

 

As for other shows:

The Last Airbender - THE GREAT FUCKING DIVIDE, Bato of the Water Tribe

The Simpsons - Homer vs Dignity, Principal and the Pauper, Alone Again, Natura-diddly, That 90's Show, Miracle on Evergreen Terrance

King of the Hill - Ms Wakefield, Hank's Choice, Pigmalion, Transnational Amusement Presents: Peggy's Magic Sex Feet, Yankie Hankie, Bad News Bill, Hank's Back Story(An episode about Hank wearing a fake ass should be hilarious, but it just comes off as mean instead)

 

EDIT:forgot the Flood episode for KotH, that sucked too

I've never been a huge Doctor Who fan, but I enjoy the current series, but "The Spy Who Loved Me" is just terrible.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

South Park- Stanley's Cup: This episode tries to parody the underdog sports movie, but it really gets obnoxiously melodramatic through most of the episode. Besides, the episode The Losing Edge did the parody better by completely subverting it. This episode kind of does that with the ending, but it's in such a cruel way that comes off as more disturbing than funny.

 

Pokemon- The Semi-Final Frontier: So Ash battles his way through the Sinnoh League and is so far doing pretty well for himself. Then he gets to the final 4. Now well all know how Ash always loses the league, but this time, they choose the most ass pull way for him to lose. He battles a trainer who for no reason has a Darkrai. How did he get such a strong legendary that he can normally carry? What kind of character is this? Never explained. He predictably curb stomps most of his Pokemon until Ash knocks it out. What does he send out next? A freaking Latios. Writers, this isn't the movies. You can't just have these non-important characters holding these legendaries that are supposedly the equivalent to Gods. It makes him come off as the most bland Mary Sue/Gary Stu ever.

 

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends- Everyone Knows it's Bendy, Camp Keep a Good Mac Down, Ticket to Rod. What do all these episodes have in common? All have characters have at least one character acting cruel, and the sympathetic characters get punished for it.

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,596]

 Buffy The Vampire Slayer - "Beer Bad", "Bad Eggs", and most of Season 1 are among some the weakest. They're not bad, but they're pretty forgettable/inconsequential in comparison to the other episodes.

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

X Marks The Ed and Your Ed Here (Ed, Edd N Eddy).

To quote AVGN, they undeservedly "flick that s***-switch and crank up that diarrhea-dial" on poor Eddy.

I've never been a huge Doctor Who fan, but I enjoy the current series, but "The Spy Who Loved Me" is just terrible.

I'm confused. "The Spy Who Loved Me" is a James Bond film. It has nothing to do with Doctor Who.

 

As for me, I absolutely hated the Doctor Who episode "Kill the Moon". It's my least favorite episode even including the originals.

Sorry, I was referring to the episode, Lov and Monsters, where Rose's mother dates an alien. Thanks for the correction.

A friend of mine actually warned me about "Love and Monsters". She told me that the Doctor is hardly in it, and the story is downright offensively stupid. I have no opinion on it, because it's the only episode I stubbornly refuse to watch. "Blink" on the other hand, was excellent for a "Doctor Light" episode.

I have to say, I don't enjoy Boyz Crazy (Gravity Falls). I don't actually dislike any episodes of Gravity Falls, but I usually avoid and/or skip this one. I just find it to be quite... annoying, you could say? At some points; it's still pretty funny, though. But certainly my least favourite Gravity Falls episode.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I would also have to go with Roadside Attraction from Gravity Falls.

It is the most boring episode to come out of the series and nothing got accomplished in it, and it wasn't really that funny.

So it was basically uninteresting filler.

Well to start, let's go with the Powerpuff Girls:

-"Nuthin' Special", maybe it's just because she's my favorite character but the treatment Buttercup gets in this episode is really harsh, and the ending is really insulting.

-"Gettin' Twiggy with it" The majority of this episode of watching an innocent animal get tortured.  Just like with "Nuthin' special", the ending is insulting.

-"Stray Bullet" and "Helter shelter" because they sum up why Bubbles is my least favorite character in the series, she can disobey the Professor, make dumb decisions and never gets punished for it.  She can do no wrong and Professor Utonium treats her like she's some sensitive little girl who can't be scolded, even though she honestly deserves it in these situations.  Not mention, she's annoying.

And as for other cartoons:

I forget the name, but it's an old Looney Tunes short (I love those things) and it shows just how bad the studios treat poor Daffy Duck compared to Bugs, the entire episode is watching poor Daffy trying to prove himself and suffering.

"The password" Gumball is a great show, and it's pretty underrated imo, but this episode is just angering.  You're supposed to root against Gumball and Darwin but considering the fact that they're acting how they usually would in these situations, seeing them lose in the end of this one just makes you upset, since they didn't really do anything that bad.

"War World" from Justice League. Superman is comically underpowered. There are also weird moments that make no sense like Martian Manhunter's powers not working for no good reason, Green Lantern looking at an alien porno magazine, and my personal favorite, Hawkgirl using her mace to destroy a planet destroying cannon without it blowing up the planet.

[Babyyoshi309 1,829]

Well there was an episode of Scooby Doo called "Go West Young Scoob" (I think that is what it is called), that I never liked as a kid. Right now, there are not really any other shows I watch other than MLP.

[SpeedForceDashie 68]

The Splinter episode from SpongeBob, a lot of episodes in seasons 5-8 were pretty bad imo

The show has definitely become hit and miss nowadays.

It all started to go downhill after the first movie

That's when Stephen Hillenberg left the show, right?

[SpeedForceDashie 68]

Around that time yes. He also really wanted the movie to act as the series finale but that never happened. He has returned though to work on the series again, so it seems like it may have hope

Well, it still has time before it goes the route of The Simpsons.

Haha, lets hope that doesn't happen

Although, to be fair, Simpsons has a few diamonds in the rough here and then.

I don't watch it too much, only when someone else is watching it. The older episodes that I saw were funnier than newer ones.
