No I am being Serious here, I have had bad health all my 55 years and watched a lot of TV including Cartoons, Warner Bros Classics, Astroboy {1964 et all} and Ren and Stimpy, to the Modern classics Adventure time, Regular show, I had Chowder as the worst, But Uncle Grandpa beats it by a Mile
shareI've only seen little bits of 12 oz Mouse but I thought that was pretty bad. And I only watched the pilot episode of Super Jail but that kept me from watching any additional episodes. Both of those could probably give Uncle Grandpa some stiff competition for who is on the bottom.
I guess personally it's hard to describe anything as the worst as some parts may be redeeming, I've seen parts of a few episodes of Uncle Grandpa and some jokes were funny... though the show in general is awful.
Chowder had its moments, I honestly think CatDog would be a better second choice. Not to mention junk like The Ripping Friends (let's face it, Ren and Stimpy started off great but Kricfalusi became increasingly insane over the years and his shows reflect that). Or what about the nuttiness of Xavier Renegade Angel?
I mention this in another post on Uncle Grandpa, one of the cardinal sins a show can take which will make me lose interest quick - have no method to their madness. Insanity for insanity's sake just annoys me, I can see some whacky stuff happening for a joke but if it's just because then I usually shy away from it. And Uncle Grandpa reeks of crazy crap happening just because.
"one of the cardinal sins a show can take which will make me lose interest quick - have no method to their madness."
I see nothing wrong with that at all...
You've mixed in quite a number of good shows in there with Uncle Grandpa. I'm curious why you dislike each of the ones you've mentioned.

I guess different tastes for different folks, some of the cartoons you listed only really intend to have humor as a side-article.
Adventure Time has some goofiness but an insanely dark backstory involving a world war,
Steven Universe I've only seen a few episodes but there's a lot more going on with a serious storyline and the main humor appears to be Steven's fish out of water experience with his powers with some interesting anime feel,
Clarence is goofy and sometimes annoying but I found some of his interactions with his friends a bit endearing - not a show I've seen a lot of to really comment on but I had enjoyed the few episodes I have seen,
Venture Brothers I've really enjoyed (and I will admit there were times when I wasn't sure if the show had lost its magic but some amazing storytelling brought me back), can you really deny how fantastic the character and story layering has been? It's not so much an action cartoon (outside the first couple seasons which focussed a lot more on Brock saving the family from the Monarch), but the show strikes me more like Archer - there is action but a lot of the focus is on character interaction,
Boondocks has always been hit or miss with me, I tend to find at least a couple episodes I love a season with the rest not really clicking (season 3 had the highest counts of my favorites with - The Red Ball, the Hateocracy, and The Fundraiser; season 4 I think there was only one episodes I sorta enjoyed - The New Black). I can see the language rubbing people the wrong way, it feels gratuitous in many episodes rather than used to help push a point. I'm curious how long you'd read the Boondocks comic strip, I and a lot of others never really paid it much attention until its infamous 9/11 strip which got it a lot of attention. Even after that I never really found much interest in the comic, the cartoon however is at least entertaining if not that much of a stand-out.
I can't comment on Squidbillies or Superjail - neither I've watched maybe a few episodes between the two shows but those I did see didn't inspire any interest to continue watching. Based on what I'd seen, agree that these are low-end CN shows.
I'm curious, what cartoons would you consider good ones and why?

You think this is worse than Sanjay and Craig? Than Breadwinners? Than Problem Solverz? Uncle Granpa is a regular Miyazaki next to those shows.
