Okay, so we've had the "Top Ten this" and the "Top Ten that" and we have this Niceness rule, so don't cross that one, BUT, what are the real stinkers that stand out, from each person's history?
We'll start with stinker comics, then if someone wants, we can do movies, next! Also, don't hold back; be honest, so we can get some diverse opinions, here. We want to treat this like a trivia thread; that is, no looking ahead, to see if Mr. Ubu for the day hates yer favourite comic before adding your list!

When I was younger, anything drawn by Al Milgrom was a stinker...no matter how good the story was...his art ruined the book for me.

The two absolute worst crossover events;

Marvel: SECRET WARS II (nausea-inducing properties mentioned elsewhere)
DC: BLOODLINES (Just how many of the "New Heroes" introduced therein are still around?)

The second issue of The Kingdom. I enjoyed the first and a couple of the one-shots but I thought the second bookend book was just infuriating. I've read comics that weren't good, but that particular issue stands out as one that made me nearly want to abandon comics altogether.

My list of stinkers begins and ends with New universe, but thats almost TOO easy a target. So:

1. Dark Knight 2
2. Vision/Scarlet Witch (2)
3. Secret Wars 2
4. Fantastic Four Unlimited
5. Conan--in general, it never translated well to comics for me
6. Identity Crisis--no redemption possible
7. Sovereign Seven
8. Anything with Mojo or the X-Babies
9. X-Men Adventures--no charm whatsoever
10. Lobo anything

The only Conan I ever enjoyed was the What If? issue where he was transported to modern day New York City.

I think we can add Infinite Crisis to this list.

It's really not Herb Trimpe's best work, is it? He tried to draw like Liefeld.

I've got a Hulk issue somewhere (maybe an Annual) that Trimpe did in the faux-Liefeld style. I wasn't the biggest Trimpe fan before then, but even I preferred his "real" style to that. The attempt to emulate the kewl style just seemed so...wrong!

I'd like to nominate "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Hook" as the STINKERS in what are otherwise astonishingly good film careers.

I kinda liked Eyes Wide Shut (beyond the obvious) - it had a "There's always someone cooler than you" vibe to it.
