It's called "The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican - Two Wet Bears" by Sam Singer, 1954.
Edit: Alright, since people are posting all kinds of stuff, this is the criteria - professionally produced only. No student work, amateur or fanfilms.
40 oz. Mouse and the Squidbillies are worse than that. I could probably name more later.

The zelda cartoon is the worst one I've ever seen not only because it's crap. It is an insult you cannot bring yourself to watch, absolutely unforgivable
I would have too say anything that Adult Swim produced, like "Tom Goes to the Mayor" or the filth called "Perfect Hair Forever".

assy mcgee. Great intro mediocre show. And that show with the asian kids with large foreheads.

Oh god, how could I forget about those two awful shows? The only good shows with cheap animation are ATHF and Metalcolypse. The rest are mostly trash however.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury the Defense rests.
Hahaha, Hammerman. I watched that from time to time. But not as bad as my clip.
Yeah, some of those Adult Swim shows are pretty bad too.
But still, nothing is as bad as Sam Singer's masterpieces. He's like the Ed Wood of animation. I forgot about youtube, I need to go utilize it, people are too lazy to download usually. XD
Hammerman was not that bad, it had a few moments. You know what sucked tho, The Kid N Play cartoon. My dreads stand on end just thinking about it.
You know something else that came to my head, Snorks. Pretty much Smurfs underwater. Awful
I don't know where to find a copy of it, but far and away, the single worst cartoon I've ever seen is Columbia Picture's Kitty Caddy.
I saw it with a recent holiday showing of White Christmas, but the strip kept breaking. The people running the theater suggested that it was because the filmstock was old and somewhat fragile, but I'm pretty sure that the camera was doing it on purpose.
It was basically a Tom and Jerry short, but with any humor stripped away from the violence. Hell, half of the "jokes" was a repeated bit where badly drawn caricatures of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope swagger across the screen while mugging for the camera. How badly were they drawn? My friend Brittany, who has seen White Christmas several times and ought to know who Der Bingle is as a result, didn't have the slightest idea who these characters were supposed to be.
Even I had to look hard at the two characters to make sure that's who they were supposed to be and I've been watching cartoons with animated renditions of Bing Crosby for over twenty years. The only reason I was sure it was him was because he was wearing the standard Hawaiian shirt.
The only half of the jokes was apparently the mere fact that the dog had a Lenny from 'Of Mice and Men' voice.
There are also quite a few of the later Tom and Jerry cartoons that were thoroughly awful as well; especially the ones that insert a human character with a severe rage problem as Tom's owner. Cartoons that operate on the concept of cartoon violence misfire horribly when that violence isn't funny.
Oh yeah, here's another one that's definately in the crap hall of fame:
Yes, Garfield, Smurfs, TMNT, Bugs Bunny, and Alvin and the Chipmunks can help you stay away from drugs!I have a whole disc full of "The worst cartoons ever". There's a panel that is shown at Comic-Con every year. They really are some crappy stuff.

That show wouldn't happen to be on DVD, would it? I'd buy it in a minute.

You know what your absolutely right it just finished downloading and without exagerating I would honestly say I have heard fandubs that have 10x better voice acting than this

I've seen both of those 
The first one was okay, but it was budgeted and all like "MORAL OF THE STORY LAWLS"
THE SECOND ONE WAS GODLIKE
SERIOUSLY IT WAS AWSOME >:U
it was a Funny cartoon

Not only is the acting bad and he doesn't even try to match up with the lip flaps, the lines appear to be completely ad-libbed in a hurry and hardly even make sense.
This would get an animation student an D+ at best. XD
OK, I uploaded the video to youtube for you people who don't wanna download

This one was only made all the more hilarious by the fact that the Smurfs live in fricking shrooms.

OK, that possibly is the worst ANIME of all time, but it still doesn't beat some of the old American stuff I have.

Technically this isn't a cartoon but it's so bad it deserves to be here(zelda fans run away)
Tom Goes to the Mayor, 12 Oz. Mouse, Squidbillies, and Perfect Hair Forever are awesome.
in other news
Boring show based on an already boring and annoying premise/license/whatever.
What Cosmic posted wasn't bad, but I have to say that Gun-Doh Musashi is, BY FAR, the WORST cartoon/anime OF ALL TIME.
Just look at the opening, "GHOST BUSTAS!"
.Technically this isn't a cartoon but it's so bad it deserves to be here(zelda fans run away)
lol, yeah, saw that in that other Zelda thread. Man, that was awful. XD
Gotta love Link in that.
I'm such a masochist, I love bad stuff.

Oh man, from this comment I no longer can take any opinion of yours seriously, for the rest of your life. XD

Hanna Barbera also produced a large amount of rancid shit.
They basically worked on the premise "if a show doesn't work, scrap it and replace it with another." Mixed with their slashing of animation quality to save money this was pretty disastrous.
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
Yeah, there was a lot of really bad Hanna-Barbera stuff. Particularly in the 80's.
There's a difference though, between really badly produced animation, and just really mind-numbingly boring shows. You can have the biggest animation budget in the world and produce crap. Or you can create something great on a shoestring budget. I've seen some that are BOTH crappily produced and boring as hell.

I'm serious. Honestly, it's a really low quality film, but seeing as it was hand-drawn and actually had some motion to it, plus a vaguely outlined (if ridiculous) plot, I wouldn't classify it as the worst cartoon. Film studies students have produced far worse stuff than that; I didn't think it was funny, but I didn't think it was outrageously bad, either.
That major Saturday morning cross-over cartoon isn't "the worst", either; if anything, it's impressive because of the number of licenses gained by McDonalds to produce the cartoon. It's just taken out of context; now, it seems cheesy/lame, but in its own era of the 1980's, it was pretty standard.
In contrast, Gun-Doh Musashi not only has poor animation and ugly art, the plot is incomprehensible! More so than Bobobo, in fact; at the very least, Bobobo has some distant objective that he gets distracted from. Such doesn't even exist in Musashi; it's got no plot whatsoever!
In fact, the show was so bad it created a 'meme' known as 'QUALITY moments' on various websites.
Well, Hanna-Barbera made a lot of shows that were just plain bad.
Hanna and Barbera get a lot of credit and are praised mainly because they created several lasting icons like Yogi Bear and Scooby Doo, but if you judge them by the entirety of their products they'd probably get a D-.
Also
You look at that and tell me there's a god.
The Bannana Splits? OMFG, you win Carter. I believe that show also had some cheap cartoon with a fighting genie or some crap like that (believe it was Arabian Nights). It also had some crappy-live action series in it too (Adventure Island I think). I hate the Bannana splits soo very much.

Nah, some ghost and shit, it was funny though
I could of SWORN they used shaggy's frame and just painted over it
Now, in Jabberjaw's defense (I personally liked Jabberjaw more than its mold) Hanna-Barbera made a lot of Scooby Doo clones.
There was also a show almost just like Funky Phantom except with a prospector ghost known as the "Gallopin' Ghost" but i can't find anything on it.
And much more.

That's like taking some rotten smashed tomatoes, ramen noodles, and tofu, throwing it together, and saying "well, it's not that bad, it's hand-made, it's vaguely like spagetti, and I've seen some kids throw together worse stuff, but it's not bad food. XD
No. That cartoon is BAD. A cartoon historian hand-picked it for presentation for a reason. If you think there's worse stuff, fine, but no point in denying the obvious just to be contrary.

The standard quality of a much of the 80's cartoons WAS really bad. It was a cheesy idea (that didn't work, only got ridicule, of course), with a cheesy plot, and bad animation. And out of all the licenses they got, they neglected to get Jim Davis's permission to use Garfield, which is why the cartoon was never released again.
–---
Oh yeah, there were a lot of repetitive themes in Hanna-Barbera stuff.
I liked Jabberjaw. XD
Anyone remember Fangface? I think that was my favorite Hanna-Barbera toon when I was a kid. But errr this is the worst cartoons thread.

Like this one, only shaggy has brown hair and scooby is a cat.
I don't suppose anyone remembers The Rubix Cube cartoon.
But that was pretty lame.

A cartoon historian…
Oh, well, that explains everything.

There's egregiously worse material coming out of Japan or Korea now that puts a cartoon like that to shame; provided you manipulate the criteria, I'm sure you could classify the clip you selected as the "worst of something sometime", but probably not the worst cartoon ever.
Such is like taking Manos: The Hands of Fate and calling it "the worst movie ever" while not taking into account its budget, its location, and its time period. The Blaire Witch Project is terrible, yet it managed to sell and outrageous number of copies of the show; people took the low quality a a gimmick, not a weakness.
I mean, I could direct you to a certain website and ask that you look up the "cartoons" there, which are no more legit than the one you posted. Assuredly, stuff like "I love egg sucks" or "b" are worse than that, but if you disagree there must be some criteria you're checking that you are not being forthwright with, which is my entire point; "worst of something sometime with some contraints".
There isn't any objectivity with stuff like this, nor are there absolutes.

Davis has an arsehole as wide as any I have heard of in the comic industry; in comparison to Watterson, he's the Biblical Belial. Frankly, I'm not surprised in the slightest.
We Went This Far Into Horrible Cartoons Without Mentioning Marvin Mystery And Tottaly Spies!?

Of course, I expect there to be challenges to the title. It's to grab people's attention. I want people to show me worse stuff. >D
As much as you can compare worse and worse things, it's still bad. Abnormally stinky poop doesn't make average smelly poop smell good. You could say eating 3 day old vomit isn't bad compared to eating rotted human flesh. XD (don't you love my analogies?)
As for criteria, I am looking at professionally produced animation only, no student work or fan work. Only stuff that is shown on either TV or film at some point. Stuff from 3rd world countries that nobody but they know exists, I don't know if that really should count. The best examples are those that come from a name or company that is somewhat known, or broadcasted to a large audience.
I would also like to contribute to the Worst Cartoon Ever made. Sorry that I can't find a clip. Props to anyone who even remembers watching it.

I do not have anything against the Olympics, just the fumbuck retarded mascots that they come up with.
Also, this is not meant to topple Cosmic Debris's entry. I don't think anyone can.
Batfink.
Even for a cheap low-budget 60s cartoon, that show reused animation A LOT! And talk about deus ex machina.
