What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

Deadendia and its characters look like the disfigured bastard child of Steven Universe, Adventure Time and Thundercats Roar.

These designs have pretty bad same-face syndrome, a style too simplistic for its own good and could easily pass for Steven Universe characters. The characters frankly look like poorly-done caricatures to me. For further information, these 2 posts can be of use.
It's going to be "queer" too. Expect it to have predatory undertones
 
96 pages and someone probably already mentioned it, but everything Tetsuya "Zipper Man" Nomura designed is shit in my opinion.
Kingdom Hearts Nobody monster designs are ultimate Zipper man bullshit.

They're the left behind husks from things that have lost their hearts, I don't think they're meant to look monstrous per se. More like vaguely humanoid with something very off about them.
 
But in the late 80's early 90's AIDS was a huge epidemic, it was somewhat important for older kids to be aware of it and captain planet was a PSA show already
To be aware of it and also aware that many rumors about HIV/AIDS were not true. Many people really did believe that you could get HIV through handshakes, or sneezes. The Captain Planet episode only aired two years after the death of Ryan White, who had become a poster boy for AIDS when his hometown blocked his attempts to return to school, where many parents withdrew their kids when he did return because they believed he was highly contagious. So it was very important to make public awareness to the fact that HIV is not transmitted through casual contact, which was also the reasons for why South African Sesame Street eventually added an HIV+ character.

Humanizing people with HIV/AIDs is one thing, it's another to use it for representation points for your ugly as sin woke show. And also perpetuating it as "the gay men's disease", way to fucking go.
 
Designs by Rare were usually fine by themselves, but they almost always looked better when done in a different artstyle.

There's no saving these two fatasses from Donkey Kong 64, though. I don't know who at Rare had an obese furry feeder fetish, but did they really have to make feeding the hippo the way to get to bosses?

DK64 starts off really innocently and quickly becomes a nightmarish fever dream.
