Worst endings ever

Hey Arnold! - Sid the Vampire Slayer: Stinky is revealed to be a vampire.

The Simpsons - Many episodes from seasons 10 and up: Just once, I'd like to see another touching ending instead of some dumb joke.

Foster's - I Only Have Surprise For You: I can see Bloo pulling such a cruel prank on Mac, but everyone except Eduardo?! Well, at least they kept Eduardo in-character.
 
Are these only relegated to shows, cuz if it includes movies, Id put the Spongebob movie for having a terrible ending. Spongebob starts doing a rock opera for no real reason and saves the day without even really knowing it...totally lame, even for Spongebob.
 
I second this.

Also, ReBoot: "My Two Bobs". They'd finally wrapped up the one plot thread "End Prog" missed in the last part of "Daemon Rising" - and oh, look, there's a last-second "s'whaaa? :eek:" cliffhanger, stretched into four episodes and concluding with a very, very bad cliffhanger. Hence the link in my sig.
 
I'm still voting for the Digimon Season 2 Series finale ending. Distorted, dragged on, and half of the kids' job makes no lick of sense. Matt an astronaut? Please.
 
Some of the jobs(especially matt's) didn`t fit at all. And I don`t think ANYONE preferred Sorato over Taiora. To ad insult, TK and Kari, the most obvious couple in the series, married complete nobodies.

The onyl good thing I got from the epilogue was Kenyako. FINALLY one case in which the unpopular/smart/kooky girl ends up with the angsty bish, happily married. There is SOME justice.

For a single episode, "Leave it to bendy" gets me to change the channel as soon as I see the title card.
 
"The Simpsons" is notorious now for its mediocre endings, but I think the one that started the trend was 5F07 "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace". I like dark humor as much as the next guy, but the entire town of Springfield stealing everything that the Simpsons own just didn't do anything for me. The episode in itself is extremely dark, and from the moment in Act 1 where Bart burns down the Christmas tree, it just spirals further and further into a pit of depression until it finally hits bottom at the end. Seeing the Simpsons sitting alone in their empty living room with nothing left but a washcloth doesn't make me laugh - it makes me feel depressed, and just a little bit angry. Not at the fact that the Simpsons will inexplicably have all their posessions back next week (I expect that sort of self-referential goofing from the show), but at the fact that the writers thought they could get a laugh by treating the family like crap over a matter that they didn't even have any control over. It was all Bart's fault, yet Homer, Marge, Lisa, and Maggie have to suffer too, even though they were victims to begin with. The people of Springfield are stupid, but for God's sake, they're not supposed to be heartless (not all of them, anyway).

If Bart alone had received the consequences of lying, then it would have been an okay episode. But the rest of the family didn't deserve what they got.
 
The aforementioned "Only Have Surprise." I all but stopped watching Foster's because of that one.

Danny Phantom's "Reality Trip," Juniper Lee's "Ding Dong, the Witch Ain't Dead," and others: four words. I HATE reset buttons.

Ed, Edd n' Eddy's "If it Smells Like an Ed": I'm still flabbergasted by the cruelty and spitefulness of that. That and Kanker abuse endings got old a while ago.

Any Family Guy involving Meg Abuse: See, you probably know what it's like to be tormented at high school/ignored by family. For years, I thought it was funny. "Oh yeah, being tormented at high school/ignored by family's so funny." Until you get that. (Carl's so fun to quote/emulate)

American Dad's "Camp Refoogue": Why was I left wanting to punch my favorite character in the nose for her being so out of character?

Hey Arnold's "Arnold Betrays Iggy": ...Jeez Louise.

That's about it for now...
 
Only one really comes to mind:

Danny Phantom-"Reality Trip"- I wish Danny used that reset button on me, since aside from Freakshow's return, I wish this double-length episode never happened.
 
I agree with a lot of what's been posted. Other endings that annoyed me:

"Fosters' Goes to Europe" (FHFIF): Yet another ending with ridiculously out-of-character characters and someone getting punished for something he never did.

"Scary Poppins" (Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy): I can't stand Mandy. I especially can't stand episodes where Mandy comes out on top simply by virtue of being Mandy.

"Things Change" (Teen Titans): Yes, I got the idea behind the episode. Doesn't mean I have to like being left unsatisfied by a final episode.
 
Endings I disliked:

- Jackie Chan: that time-travel episode to the 70s. I didn't like it at all, but seeing the bad guys apparently being forced to live through most of the 20th century like that seems to raise too many questions on my part...

- The Simpsons:
* The Principal and the Pauper
* Homer's Enemy
* Trash of the Titans

I hated the above episodes in general, so guess the endings were just icing on the (badly-burned) cake...

- South Park:
* The one where Stan creates a clone that Shelly beats up, and Stan still gets beaten up in the end. Never liked Shelly...

All I can think of for now...

-B.
 
I currently don't have the energy required to defend all three of these episodes, so I'll give you a mulligan this time...just let it be known that I think these episodes are trashed way more than they deserve to be.
 
I agree on both, but since the first is the most specific, I'd vote for that one, that part made the episode pretty strange....:shrug:
 
Agreed. The first 26 episodes of Season 2 was solid, but come the next set, it was a walking pile of mess. And I would have been convinced of Ken/Yolei if not for the fact that it's barely emphasized, so thus left me with yet another sour note. Sorry, I'm not convinced (though I give it points it had some hints for the ending).



Can't believe I forgot this. An example of reset button used in the worst way possible with everything Danny did right he countered with a terrible wrong by erasing his parents' memories for "no apparent raisin".



Quoted for truth, and because I'm amused with the way you cleverly used Logan's name (though Brainac 5 didn't have a personality I disliked). I don't like Logan either.
 
Billy & Mandy "Wrath of the Spider Queen" - I mean spiders taking over the world? Please, that could happen in any regular Billy & Mandy episode. For a series finale it left me unsatisfied...:shrug:​
