The toilet is supposed to represent the show's haters, I think?

Teen Titans GO! is the controversial successor to Cartoon Network's Teen Titans series, and to say it's "controversial" is an understatement... this show is reviled by many, though it's been one of the highest rated shows on the network over the past decade, arguably achieving a level of success the original show never did. There are some genuinely funny moments, and the voice actors seem to be having lots of fun as well, so for all the hate the show gets, the existence of Teen Titans GO! itself isn't nearly dumb enough to make this list. However... there is one especially dumb moment from a 2019 episode called "The Chaff" that absolutely deserves a spot, and some of you might already know what that is. In the episode, Control Freak attempts to get the show canceled by replaying "outtakes" that include Cyborg attempting to park his robot with bad results and the team fighting Brother Blood's giant robot butt. While these scenes are rather inane in and of themselves, they ultimately do end up getting the show canceled, which means that Beast Boy and Cyborg have to come up with an idea to save the show. They do so... by cutting a minute long rap about pooping in the toilet. That's... pretty much it. They rap about pooping. No actual poop is shown, so this doesn't cross over into grossout territory, but for several verses, the two sing repetitive lyrics about pooping. I don't know whether it's supposed to be a jab at their critics or their fans, but the rap gets the show's audience back and gets the show uncanceled, and the episode ends. Even considering the young audience who enjoys the show, this is just insulting. There's dancing plungers and toilet paper rolls, the lyrics are insanely repetitive, and eventually even the other Titans join in. In a show infamous for dumb humor, the fact that this song still manages to stand out is a pretty clear indication of just how bad it is. While "Plop Plop" didn't hurt the show's popularity at all (though it did manage to get the episode pulled in a few countries), it certainly didn't do anything to help Teen Titans GO's reputation for crass humor.
