Anyway, I don't think Yvon of the Yukon is the worst of those presented, but it's the one I least like looking at, so.
Also, Ned's Newt had a legit catchy theme song, IMO.
Angela Anaconda is Canadian?? That is the only thing in this list I recognize. So I won't vote, but now I'm trying to remember where that show was around in the US. Must've been Nickelodeon...
Monster By Mistake is one of those shows that, I believe, has completely vanished because of a lack of any archiving procedure for it, but also… nobody cared enough to be upset by that being lost so… I guess it’s already answered for it.
Chop Socky Chooks is a cartoon I couldn’t help but say “Is… this as racist as I think it is?” every single time I saw a commercial for it

The racist one.
Monster by Mistake gets points for feeling like original Casper creators discovered CGI in the 1990s and a budget of $65.

Huh? What? This isn't what a Canadian 90s kid would call it.
Yeah, I remember when this show materialized in the US over on Cartoon Network, and while it's not exactly Clayfighter 63 & 1/3rd duology levels of racist, it's still not good.
It absolutely does not pass the smell test, and it should be telling that despite CanCon rulings it didn’t last more than one season even in reruns
As a person from the US I am not familiar with any of these cartoons but I was thinking the same thing.

And here I was thinking Johnny Test whip cracks were bad, not knowing the true depths of bad Canadian cartoons apparently...

To be clear chook is New Zealand/Australian slang for chicken... which is weird for a Canadian/UK co-production. It DOES feel like it's dog whistling something. Like, googling it made me feel uncomfortable.
And also the show is actually racist in other ways.
Didn't work. Also, the replacement voice was Chris Hardwick. *shudder*
Also one of the co-producers is Aardman Animation. It makes sense in retrospect.
It's like, two letters off from being a racist term for Chinese people.

And one letter off from a different slur.
Everything about this is just... not good.
Also the other two words feel pretty racist as well

I feel like there was a complaint a while back that shows don't do proper intros any more but it could be worse. They could do intros.
