Any flag that cucks itself by having the union jack on it. Looking at you Oz/NZ... It's time to move on.

For sure! Iβm an Aussie and I wanna get rid of that shit. Not just because Iβm a major sci fi nerd (well, a big reason) but Iβve always been partial to the Aussie flag as depicted in Event Horizon.
Yours obviously. Terrible design and awful colour choice. Not completely surprising from such a backwards country but I have to admit you raised the ugliness bar to a whole new level. Matches well with your ridiculous anthem and your stupid traditions (incest and cannibalism are still a thing I've heard).
My country on the other hand... now that's some nice flag design: good palette, great inspiration, high symbolic value. Very nice. Pairs well with our melodic anthem and our respectable traditions (like ritual 'feast of the elders' and ceremonial family acts of love)
Bangladesh is so fucking asymmetric
WHY
The Torres Straight Islands flag is pretty bad. It looks like a cats arsehole.
Basically any flag thatβs just 3 colored bars. Theyβre so boring and there are so many that itβs hard to even differentiate them.
Flags should say something about your country.
They do, the colors usually have some meaning attached. Also, as a kid, would you rather draw Bhutan's flag or Ukraine's?
I would 100% pick Bhutan's flag as a kid. Flags should be simple but come on, that dragon is awesome.
Um Dragon flag definitely! Easy to draw is not on my list of criteria.
When i was a kid, Ukrainian flag looked much better 
Feel like pure shit just want it back

Australia & New Zealand. The two are too similar and IMO keeping the Union Jack on your flag while being an independent nation adds to the confusion. Canada had the right idea with the maple leaf.
... And then there's Hawaii.
This.
Bloody Aussies stole out shitty design.
Ha at least you had the chance to change your flag. I don't think Australia ever got as close as New Zealand did to changing it.
True
Brazil. Mostly because it has text. Actually, reading about the flag and its history has made me appreciate it more. FUCK! I'm changing my answer to Malaysia for copying my country's flag.
All the tricolor ones. At least put something there ffs, Serbia and Slovakia did and it's still not great but much better.
Mexico and Argentina, too.
Four bars is already too many, adding a big red line down the middle is not helping, and tbh if you took away the star it'd at least be symmetrical.
If your flag is gonna be busy, at least be creative and put like a dragon or something on it.
Sorry CAR.
Tie. Poland and Indonesia.
But you like Monaco, right?
TIL
Of course, that one's awesome!
Not Romania and Chad?
Maybe Ireland and Ivory Coast?
Morocco has the worst colour scheme. Low contrast makes the star disappear when viewing from far away.
Bosniaβs is fire wdym
Bosnia and Herzegovina π§π¦ is so unbalanced it just feels wrong. At least you can't say it's boring.
Belgium.
I've always been annoyed at Ireland's because it replaced a much nicer flag.
Because it had boobs on them?
Lithuania maybe. Boring Tricolore and I don't like the color combination at all.
I like the colour combination, personally
Close tie between America and UK, both horrible color choices
The worst part of the UK flag is they didn't put a dragon on it.
What about all the other flags that use those same colours?
Norway just subscribed to this thread
I think it's a rule that countries that have been conquered by the french have to use those colours.
Well one of them was based on the otherβ¦
But hey, donβt hate on our 400+ year old colour choice! π³π±
Wales.
There's something seriously wrong with that dragon.
It's got a tail as its tongue, a hook-nose, fluffy ears,
an air cushion frontal neck, a fishnet back neck
and a look so annoyed that
if flag dragons could talk I'd swear it would say
"Don't look at me, my mom put me up for this".
At least it has a dragon. Scotland's flag is sorely missing a unicorn, and others are lacking in mythical creatures too :-/
At least it has a dragon.
I'll give you that.
But still, if you're gonna make a flag with a dragon on it,
don't make it look like a botched art restoration.
Same goes for Bhutan by the way,
which is the most awesome dragon flag in the world,
holding dragonballs and all that,
but then they forgot to color it in.
I this nk the Bhutan flag might be one of the best real flags I've ever seen!
Thanks for putting me onto that, lol
Lol. At least the flag improved a bit.
