I have been meaning to make a thread like this for a while, but have only now gotten to it. To summarize I made this thread a while back. Effectively my goal here it to make an archive of the worst dubbing in entertainment (Mostly Anime) history similar to the previous ones goal of making bad video gaming voice acting/funny duologue. I would like to state however to not post fan dubs for now, I might allow that later, but for now I just wish to focus on the official dubs that where bad.

4Kids' One Piece dub is an essential for this list.

when life gives you lemons, you make JELLY DOUGHNUTS

probably not the right place for this

best/worst is subjective except in extreme, extreme cases

I agree, but give me something you think is the worst or give some of those extreme cases.

Which episode would be the best example of why that dub is bad? (So I can add the aforementioned episode to the list.)

Clannad Dub
Kanon 2006 Dub

i would say the clannad and kanon dubs are only awful in comparison to the japanese language eps (which are just overwhelmingly well casted)

Yeah, I'd agree to that. The thing with those dubs is that they didn't stay true to the characters traits (Fuuko doesn't speak in 3rd person/Ayu's "Uguu" is less noticeable.) Also the fact that they "Americanized" their names, but that's somewhat understandable. I'll try to find something...
