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.
Bangladesh is so fucking asymmetric
WHY
The Torres Straight Islands flag is pretty bad. It looks like a cats arsehole.
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.
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)
Morocco has the worst colour scheme. Low contrast makes the star disappear when viewing from far away.
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.
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.
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
... And then there's Hawaii.
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.
Also, I know the colors usually have meaning, itβs just so boring.
When i was a kid, Ukrainian flag looked much better 
Feel like pure shit just want it back
A cross isn't exactly that much better tbh. So you are or used to be some kind of Christian country. Great.
Believe it or not that does actually narrow it down quite a bit.
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.
Bosniaβs is fire wdym
Tie. Poland and Indonesia.
But you like Monaco, right?
Of course, that one's awesome!
TIL
Not Romania and Chad?
Maybe Ireland and Ivory Coast?
Bosnia and Herzegovina π§π¦ is so unbalanced it just feels wrong. At least you can't say it's boring.
I've always been annoyed at Ireland's because it replaced a much nicer flag.

Two random ones I find quite ugly are Madagascar and Samoa.
Belgium.
Lithuania maybe. Boring Tricolor and I don't like the color combination at all.
I like the colour combination, personally
