alright let's go it's time to look on
the bright side of what I consider to be
some of the lousy Ascar Tunes to ever
face the light of day these are those
rare shining moments from normally
abysmal cartoons that show us with a
little effort even the crappiest
cartoons can be okay
so let's check out some diamonds in the
garbage with the top ten best episodes
of bad cartoons and as always if you
don't think these cartoons are bad
that's great it's just my silly personal
opinion and I'm glad you can enjoy these
cartoons when I can't so take this list
with a pinch of salt anyway let's do
this countdown number 10 johnny test
Johnny strikes back again damn it I
heard this was the highest-rated johnny
test episode but it still starts off
with the two main characters shoving ice
up their nose to see who can hold it the
longest brain freeze brain freeze at
first I was thinking there's no saving
this this is too stupid balloons but
let's give it a chance maybe it's got a
really clever twist but then they
surprised me by farting so hard that
they blow up the city I'm sure it'll get
amazing soon the FBI then takes away all
of Johnny's possessions and shuts down
the lab okay
seeing Johnny miserable is kind of a
high point for this episode then the
artificial plasma cyborg army takes over
the world it's got some well paced
action scenes and it's kind of good
animation
Oh Who am I kidding this is the best
episode of johnny test but it's still a
Bismil buy good cartoon standards i
admit they do save the world by creating
a mutant army consisting of friends and
villains they've met throughout the
series
that's kind of fun and then they say the
universe by farting on their enemies oh
forget it I give up
this one's the highest on the list
because I still can't quite recommend it
it's just the absolute best I could find
of johnny test and the number nine
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Robo
ninjas somehow I still love Sonic even
today as much as his games are mostly
subpar pandering glitchy disasters now I
still respect Sonic as a character since
when is that been a problem this cartoon
was defective cereal box deke garbage my
brother and I watched obsessively
growing up but once my brain had
actually developed to the point where I
could count past my fingers I had this
dawning moment where I said wait a
minute this cartoon is awful
the animation was lazy to the point
where it was comical the voice cast
consisted of three people
and it had the depth of a spoon as much
as I look back on this cartoon with fond
memories technically it was abominable
and this was the best episode we were
given the concept for this episode was
just good old stupid fun the plot for
this one is right out of a ninety cereal
box commercial scratching ground or
implanted with the fighting skills of
elite ninjas there was something very
compelling about this episode for the
first time in 50 freaking episodes
Sonic's lamebrain disguises no longer
fool the badniks and it actually looks
like they may finally win eventually
sonic has to face off alone against an
army of super Robo ninjas this episode
is just the extremeness of the 90s in a
nutshell this one's also hi analysts
because well it's still incredibly
stupid with horrible one-liners and
animation that makes 12 ounce mounts
look thoughtfully produced okay well
maybe not that bad
and for number eight SpongeBob's season
six
sand castles in the sand I'm cheating a
little with this one because I don't
think the latest seasons of Spongebob
aah that's terrible
with some exceptions but in the midst of
when spongebob was arguably at its worst
this episode was actually very enjoyable
it was a simple fun very imaginative
episode about SpongeBob and Patrick just
having a pleasant day at the beach with
armies tanks and cannons I remember
seeing this one a long time ago and
being amazed at the imagination that
went into their sand kingdom there's a
real sense of action and excitement as
they establish their literal sand
castles and battle one another's armies
it's one of those episodes that really
takes me back to the excitement of being
a kid with a wild imagination at the
beach it's an episode that really shows
just how much entry can be made from the
simplest of concepts personally I think
this episode represents the best of
spongebob in a time when the series was
only giving us mediocrity
and for number seven the Marvelous
Misadventures of flapjack mechanical
genie island flapjack what can you make
of this thing under normal circumstances
I'm normally put off by the fecal
colored oceans and the Pope fugly
animation but some people really do like
it and even I found this episode really
funny flapjack and Captain k'nuckles get
washed up onto an island where they meet
a mysterious mechanical genie your
talent for this game is most impressive
the mechanical genie is a well voiced
interesting character though that face
is really creepy I kept getting this
strange ambivalent feeling of being both
horrified to this uncanny David Lynch
style genie yet chuckling whenever he
spoke you really have to be an amazing
voice actor to put on such a hilarious
voice that you override your audience's
visual perceptions I couldn't figure out
why this guy sounded so familiar then it
hit me
it's Johnny Bravo stealing the scene and
bringing life to what I otherwise
consider a pretty bland cartoon I found
myself smiling all the way through this
episode of flapjack so I consider it to
be the best of the series number 6
Clarence Dreamboats the first thing that
struck me when I heard Clarence's voice
is this kid doesn't sound right we can
build a tree fort or play aliens
honestly when you see this face do you
really expect to hear this deep booming
voice come out for me personally
Clarence normally walks a very fine line
between kinda charming to hyperactive
aggravating twit generally I found the
cartoon not quite terrible but actually
really recommend this particular
Clarence episode it's a really touching
look at the life of sumo as he struggles
to make a boat out of nothing in order
to make something out of his life when
it feels like he has just never been
given a break in his entire life and
just when sumo feels like giving up
completely Clarence and Jeff come in to
help him this is the first time I've
seen Clarence really create something
relatable harsh and tragic yet moving at
the same time it really does drive home
that sometimes people just have a bad
slice of life it's not their fault
it doesn't make them bad people and it
is actually legitimately upsetting when
we see sumo finally break down and give
up and when they went down to the ocean
with that piece-of-crap boat I so wanted
to see that boat hold just for a minute
just to give sumo at least one fulfilled
ambition and in that moment where it
floats it is the most beautiful moment
in the series
this episode shows us just how much
potential Clarence has to be a cartoon
that immerses us in a character and
touches viewers hearts and the number 5
uncle grandpa full moon you're probably
going to think I'm nuts for saying this
but some of the new uncle grandpa so
it's are actually possible they're no
longer completely nonsensical the plot
has some coherence to it and they've
actually got some really good visual
jokes in now service of duty Astor trust
you huh what's going on Pizza Steve it's
all part of the gaming experience it
honestly feels like a completely
different cartoon and full moon is the
perfect example of a simple yet creative
and actually well paced episode by
season 2 a lot of the incoherent
surrealism that got the cartoon its bad
reputation has been toned down and we
actually get some really interesting
stories like a full mood being replaced
by a super moon that lets off moon tan
rays that turns uncle grandpa's pants
into wear pants okay so maybe it's still
completely nonsensical but I like it now
it's all kind of sad though because
after a season of Bad episodes starting
them off there's no way a cartoon can
recover from that uncle grandpa
has such a ratty reputation now that
most people won't even bother seeing the
new ones which is understandable but it
is a shame when the creator's really up
their game at the last moment number 4
fishhooks parasite rights
I don't think Fish Hooks is outright
terrible it's just really bland but very
inoffensive I feel like there's a nice
heart to this show I mean I don't hate
the characters but I just normally find
them as bland as oat bran but this
episode was like oatmeal lightly
drizzled in honey and why am I
continually making oatmeal analogies
today sorry Milo gets paranoid after
watching a horror movie with being Oskar
resulting in him going into peril
delusions over all the fish brain
parasites in the ocean normally I find
the characters a little too hyperactive
but in this one the jokes are pretty
Swift and sometimes even funny
Milo use your words and it's a good
message on the dangers of paranoia and
letting your imagination run wild and
unlike most bad cartoons it left me with
a pleasant enough feeling in my gut
number three sonic boom the mesial
personally I've generally found sonic
boom pretty new it's not the worst but I
do normally change channels if I see it
I really don't like what they did with
some of the characters particularly
knuckles but the meteor was actually a
really intriguing fun episode it's
essentially your standard good old body
swap episode what am i doing an Eggman
body your sonic now but it's really
cleverly put together I just never get
sick of the trope of seeing the minds of
the characters we know in the bodies of
their worst enemies regardless of the
cartoon the voice actors always seem to
have a lot of fun with us and along with
time travel is one of my favorite
cartoon concepts little jokes like sonic
and Eggman both rushing to touch them
easier to call dibs on it are actually
really funny moments well I personally
found the game abysmal and the cartoon
normally subpar at best this episode was
pretty damn funny I'd actually recommend
it and the second best episode of bad
cartoons is Teen Titans go 40% 40% 20% I
can safely say out of all the Teen
Titans go episodes this one was the best
one I've ever seen in fact it was
downright passable and the ending is
actually good it's a surprisingly
creative commentary of the addiction of
music it was 40% written by Carl Burnett
40% by Franklin in ear and a sweet sweet
20% by William J Reagan and has a more
hard-boiled completely off the wall
animation style it's funny how the
highest rated episode in this cartoon is
when they abandon their usual lazy
chippy animation
style the ending is passionate beautiful
and I'll be honest for one brief moment
I almost felt like I was watching the
original Teen Titans series this episode
shows the amazing creative potential
hidden in the writers of this cartoon
series what can be done when you
actually treat your viewers with
intelligence I never thought I'd say
this but I do recommend this particular
episode of Teen Titans go
and before we get to number one I'd like
to give a couple of quick honorable
mentions Sanjay and Craig flip-flops oh
come on the highest-rated episode of
Sanjay and Craig is about easing belly
button lint this is the best episode
we've been given I gave you a chance
Sanjay and Craig and you literally
defecate it in my face fanboy and Chum
Chum pick a nose does it sound like it's
gonna be a good episode really the
highest fan rated episode of this pile
of schlock was called pickin nose and
was about the boys swapping their noses
for the day no I just can't do it
van boy and chamcham does not make this
list then with those said on to number
one and the number one best episode of
bad cartoons is Modern Family Guy the
road to miniseries in my opinion even
Modern Family Guy goes back to hints of
when the cartoon was great when we get a
team up with Brian and Stewie it's funny
how as soon as they take out the main
characters of the show Peter Megan Lois
and Chris the show gets so much better
there's something about when Brian and
Stewie work together that just brings
out the best in both of them it's one of
those interesting cases where alone they
can both be obnoxious and unlikable but
when they're forced to work together or
just decide to go on an adventure
together it's easy to get drawn into the
thrilling environments they get thrown
into from these episodes we get those
amazing musicals that show off SEFs
incredible scene voice and some really
intriguing creative setups from
traveling through pre-war Germany the
North Pole to traveling across
interstellar dimensions to be honest the
road to miniseries am i one exception to
my rule of not watching family guy
anymore if I see an episodes starring
Brian and Stewie like road to the
multiverse road to Germany or road to
Vegas I'll give it a look they make me
once again see the glimpses of
brilliance that still shine through
family
very occasionally and that really makes
these episodes both tragic and beautiful
at the same time and in the end all
these episodes shot the true potential
of these cartoons these episodes show
creative talented people behind the
scenes of these otherwise bad cartoons
and when the creators put their mind to
it that previous dislike we had for
these cartoons can be redeemed with
something innovative unique and amazing
do you think I missed a particular
episode I've got no doubt there's tons
more good episodes out there so feel
free to let me or others know in the
comments and as always thanks for
watching and I'll see you next time
you
