It might not be literal Flash/ToonBoom puppet rigging, but the way objects will ease and bounce when they move, it all just looks tweened. For what it's worth it has to be done for time & budget reasons, but the point still stands that it looks rough. The worst is when you can still notice it in a good show like Archer or Cuphead. It's like when a movie from this year has CG that looks like something out of a PS2 cutscene.

Goddammit, I even noticed the "tween-bounce" in X-Men '97, Castlevania Nocturne, and the latest season of Invincible. Occasionally a character's head or arms would move in a way that looked a little too mathematical. I don't mind it in amateur/indie work, but once you notice it happening a single time in a studio-funded animated show, it'll bug you every time you see it.

Fuck you give me money!

Seriously. It's no Thief & the Cobbler, but if you think South Park looks bad then I don't want to hear what you think about actual stop motion animation.

EDIT: Ah goddammit, I meant to edit that into my other comment.

There was this weird CGI cartoon called Van-Pires which exercise how far someone's suspension of belief can go. Mainly human fused cars were in the uncanny valley that made me thought it looked painful to be them when I was a kid. the big villain was vampire that looked like a gorrila that was suppose to be intimidating but... maybe it was just my TV but looked like a cute toy. If we using the word worst as failure that this could be a candidate?

It's probably not the worst one for anybody else, but I remember how I couldn't grasp any plot because of the awful old 3D animation that made my eyes hurt.

yeah nah I agree. I'm a fan of Maakies but Drinky Crow def should have been in 2D especially at the time. It also doesn't help that the Drinky Crow show isn't very good or funny

It is THE WORST Polish animated series and one of the worst ever made.

Oh, and this shit also:

Kurwa. What is this, Phineas and Ferb... at home?

Now I see why I don't watch Polish television.

Okay well, I couldn't learn Polish very well but still.

I couldn't think of a show I despise for the artstyle, which is VERY hard to say in here, but if I had to answer...

fite me.

Why in the world would you design a show that actively, legitimately, hurt your eyes while watching it? The colors are just so saturated and it's full of unappealing palettes and gradients

Say what you want about stuff like Big Mouth, Mr. Pickles or anything else but at least those shows don't attempt to RUIN your eyesight ability

Everything at the highest marketing level is made to ruin something in your life. Look at the Naruto Run fad.

Just like MTV it got Military nuts to laugh about the idea of gunning down a group of runners who dare to make it into Area 51.

THIS CARTOON!!! I was 7 when it came out but I only saw promos of it at the time. Thank god that was the case, because god this show is ugly and it boggles my mind Adult Swim rejected this show for being "too cute"

Big Mouth is pretty horrible too in terms of visuals
