What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

Jojo is known for having very outlandish designs but holy fuck this design is bad. Why the fuck are their teddy bears on his arms and why does this fuckboy's hair look like a god damn hat. It gets even worse with how he's the main bad guy and his stand is better designed than him.

Yooka and Laylee.
It actually took me a while to realize the exact reason why they're not as memorable as their "spiritual predecessors" Banjo and Kazooie, and I think I finally know why. To put it simply, all four of these characters are fairly boring and safe design wise, but they gave Banjo and Kazooie identity by giving them outfits.
Banjo is a fairly generic cartoon bear with very few defining characteristics. Give him something as simple as a pair of pants, however, and it instantly becomes more recognizable. It's seriously as simple as that.
Kazooie is likewise just a cartoon bird, nothing too noteworthy about her. But the fact that she lives in a backpack, and all the silly things she does in a backpack makes what is otherwise an unremarkable design become something very unique.
If Banjo was running around naked with Kazooie on his shoulder, the duo probably wouldn't have been as fondly remembered as they are now.
This brings us to Yooka and Laylee. They are in desperate need of some clothes, or something more interesting to make them recognizable, Hell, here are two edits which in my opinion make them a whole lot more visually appealing simply by giving them clothes.

Alternatively, they could've just made them super cute, and made it their defining characteristic. These look a lot more lovable than their canon counterparts.

It's amazing how slightly changing the size and positioning of facial features makes a difference. I always felt something was off about their original designs, and it's nice to finally figure out why. Now they look like characters I want to play as.

To be fair though, if I recall currently, the game was mainly made by college kids who grew up with Banjo-Kazooie with assistance from a couple of Rare vets, so I can at least attribute that with general inexperience.

Easily the ugliest adult swim show, At least things like squidbillies have a unique sense of style, every character here has a really bland and ugly look like they were ripped out of some shitty indie music video, or webcomic and have nothing to stand out about them. They’re not even especially ugly designs, just completely soulless and lacking anything eye catching from a design or palette standpoint.

I mean, the director really hated the Bayformer designs and wanted MechaG based off the Terminator.
But the Terminator is essentially a robot skeleton, MechaGodzilla is not a robot skeleton however, so in trying to give it a full solid body with Terminator elements, it just ends up looking like another Bayformer.

It has way too much greebling. The T800 endoskeleton has its share of sprockets and panel lines too, but they're secondary to a handful of strong design elements, like that silver skull. Hollywoodized mechagodzilla looks like a bunch of staples and other bits of scrap metal piled and stacked into a vague dinosaur shape.

That’s not fair; most of them are copying Rick & Morty nowadays.

And somehow fucking none of the rick and morty style clone shows fucking understand how and why justin roiland's shit looks good and is popular. Either that or they don't want to make the inspiration obvious so they make it like super-generic rick and morty.

Everything about the new Resident Evil movie. Why does Leon look more like Carlos? And why does it all look like a terrible b-movie/student film mashup in both quality and acting/effects/lighting?
