Also the window being down, up when she hits and immediately down again.
I think I'd have to go with Dexter.
With HIMYM, yeah the ending was stupid, but there wasn't a whole lot expected of it at that point. The show was its own silly joke that had gone on too long, and at the very least it did establish the answer to the name of the show. So the ending was bad, but I don't think it was a detour from the rest of the show.
Dexter... sigh. Dexter was like getting kicked in the groin right as you're about to climax. I mean, if they had just left out everything after he sets off on the boat at the end, it would have been fine. Good? No, Dexter's final season was bad, and it'd been going downhill since the end of 4 and delivered so many bad scenes. But had the ending wanted a clear resolution and delivered what it should have
namely, Dexter dying or being caught as justice for his crimes and all the lives he's ruined, especially Deb's, whose corpse he frickin wheeled out of the hospital
For both an awful scene and an awful finale, I'd go with the end to Sons of Anarchy. The super dramatic end to a long running series biker gang show should not elicit a howl of laughter from me. Video title itself is a spoiler, if you care: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKXFJIB3YQM
Edit: For bonus on that SoA scene, rewatching it I'm now noticing how the number of lanes on that definitely-not-actually-the-interstate-highway changes like 3 times. Quality editing, there.

i've never seen this show but damn that was funny
I hate to say this but I'm pretty sure something similar happened in an episode of Life. Phenomenal tv show (I still want to see Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi work together again), but there's an episode where the detectives need to get at files locked in an hard drive of a dead Iranian kid's Xbox. They enlist his sister to play through so many "levels" of "Prince of Persia" until they unlock the files.
It was really dumb, but the soundtrack was phenomenal, which made up for it.

I can't believe I forgot about dog ate Dan's new heart.
Wow, this GIF is from Dexter? I guessed it might have been Walker Texas Ranger or something.

I feel like pretty much every scene in Quantico could qualify, which is impressive in its own way.
this is one of those scenes where you could do a perfect shot for shot remake not changing the delivery just using comedic actors and have it be the funniest thing in the world.

I will defend this scene.From LOST, guy goes up to a nuke that's caused radiation sickness and just touches it casually.
Worst of all the nuke is suspended by a flimsy rope on a rickety wooden structure, on an island prone to extreme weather
and the breaking bad one. these are not some of the dumbest scenes. come on.

You can feel Soderbergh crawl farther and farther up his own asshole with every sentence.
The fuck?
You mean Sorkin?
This wins, hands down.

I know we all got pretty distracted with that amazing Newsroom scene but this is a classic of the genre for sure
Many scenes in the The West Wing are nearly as bad, but I think it existing in a slightly different alternate universe takes the edge off some of the potentially on-the-nose cheese scenes. That, and most of the characters are 1000 times more likeable.
I need to watch this show haha

What about Robin literally floating away from Ted in HIMYM? Made all the more stupid by the way that show ends

I also remember the Gabby Gifford newscast/montage to be terrible in The Newsroom.
Edit: video with more Coldplay!
Edit: I also forgot that Dev Patel was a conspiracy nut who believed in Big Foot before they turned him into Edward Snowden where he had to flee the country.
God, this dumbass show.
