History StylisticSuck / WesternAnimation

** In "I Take Thee, Quagmire", Peter and the guys decide to fake Quagmire's death, in order to end his marriage to his [[{{Tsundere}} deranged wife]], Joan and film it; Joe dresses like a ninja and "stabs" Quagmire with a katana, Cleveland shows up dressed like a Nazi with a ball-gun and shoots Quagmire, and Peter "finishes him off" dressed like a "pots-and-pans robot" with a toy laser pistol. Peter then holds up a toy T-Rex (with his hand still in the frame and singing the Film/JurassicPark theme) to pretend to eat Quagmire's body.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' has one episode centred around a major studio discovering a silent movie starring their most famous actor that was never completed and decide to film new material for it. Said material doesn't even attempt to match with whatever the original plot was, adding in [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot alien robot ninjas]] that fire lasers (despite ninjas and lasers being unknown at the time the original movie would've been made]] who get defeated by a dance battle.

** Peanut Hamper is animated to look as if she's suspended on a fishing line, because that's how the exocomps in "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E9TheQualityOfLife The Quality of Life]]" moved.

** Peter strikes again with Peterotica from the episode of the same name. We don't see much of it, but we can tell it's [[IkeaErotica written in rambling, disjointed stream-of-consciousness]] (one such work is called, ''The Hot Chick Who Was Italian or Maybe Some Kind of Spanish'') that makes one wonder how ''anyone'' could get off to it. For bonus points, the audiobooks are narrated by Creator/BettyWhite. Here's a quote:

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble:'' has Ant-Man leave the Avengers to work on a movie entitled "Ant-Person and the Protectors", a self-deprecatory parody of [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse the MCU]], with an aesthetic pulled from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersUnitedTheyStand United They Stand]]''. Not only are the effects in the trailer obviously unfinished, but the costumes look incredibly poor.

** The holiday special episodes have short segments that feature an ArtShift into rudimentary, polygonal CG animation akin to early UsefulNotes/PlayStation titles. (Think ''Bubsy 3D'' and you’ve got the right idea.)

** ''Itchy and Scratchy'''s [[ShooOutTheNewGuy Poochie]], which is hated by everyone in-universe. The show itself is an example; it's a total ultraviolent send up of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' (more specifically of ''WesternAnimation/HermanAndKatnip'', itself a more sadistic ripoff of T&J), but where Tom and Jerry was a battle of wits between two mutual rivals with actual humor, Itchy and Scratchy just consists of a AxCrazy mouse [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly killing]] a helpless victim who has done nothing to antagonize him. Amongst actual ''Simpsons'' fans the cartoon is liked only for its terribleness and shock value, and Matt Groening himself states Itchy and Scratchy would never fill a full 10 minutes as the audience would get tired of the same joke being repeated over and over.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}:'' The episode "Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound" is about the Heeler family making a movie to cheer up a hospitalized Bingo. It’s adorably amateur even for a home movie: multiple flubs are left in due to shoddy editing, Bandit is clearly reading his lines from a cue card and NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals is in full effect with Muffin and Socks. But Bingo loves it and it even comforts Chili.

*** Ned Flanders's personalized video is "The Adventures of Spaceman Rod," depicting Rod Flanders as a big buff astronaut who likes "being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers diabetes]]" that lands on another planet and dances with friendly frog-like aliens.

* ''The Pack'', based off of early Creator/ImageComics the likes of ComicBook/{{Youngblood}}, from the eponymous episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. All shots from the show consisted entirely of action scenes, with no plot other than "the Pack fights evil ninjas", pretty similar to episodes from such shows.

* In a season 5 episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Garfield and Friends}}'', Garfield's frustration with the degrading protrayal of cats in most cartoons leads him to create his own self-empowering feline cartoon character, "Sam the Cat". Unfortunately, the thin plot of Sam's only episode involved cheap acts of revenge against people Garfield found annoying in real life, and then the entire rest of the cartoon was Sam sleeping for over 20 minutes. Garfield hears a horrid popping noise while watching his cartoon – it turns out to be the sound of ''everybody in the entire country changing channels at the same time''.

** “[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E5EIEIAnnoyedGrunt E-I-E-I Doh]]”: "The Poke of Zorro" is an abomination of a movie that somehow pits [[AnachronismStew Zorro against the Three Musketeers, the Man in the Iron Mask, some ninjas, and the Scarlet Pimpernel before King Arthur declares Zorro the new king of England]]. It also ends with an [[ThemeTuneRap incredibly awful rap song]], and the credits list mentions there was a [[EvilDoppelganger robot version of Zorro]], a magic taco [[QuestionableCasting voiced by]] Creator/JamesEarlJones, and at least one time traveler played by Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, among several other either unrealistic or just stupid-sounding characters.
