I've probably seen some much worse movies from an ideological standpoint, but just from an entertainment point of view it's Bloodsport IV. There are no redeeming qualities, it couldn't even be an MST3K episode because there's nothing to even riff on.

Unfinished Business (2015). The title is a reflection of the script.
I get the impression that Cabin Boy (1994) was supposed to establish Chris Elliott (Groundhog Day, There's Something About Mary, recurring spot on Letterman) as the next Jim Carrey-tier leading comedy actor and screenwriter, but instead it was more of a deadpan surrealist love letter to Harryhausen creature features. Viewed on its own merits, it has a certain sense of comedic timing and a few classic bits ("maybe cooking oil is nature's sunblock"). However, what it has in comedic timing, it lacks in overall pacing. One can't help but be reminded of such films as Dumb and Dumber, Billy Madison, or even Animal House, and other films that bear the mantle of so-called summer comedies. This movie speaks less to the heart, and more to the sphincter.

Real answer is probably Dark Star (1974) or From Dusk Till Dawn 2 (1999), but only because I haven't been able to finish Morbius or Troll 2, and I haven't subjected myself to The Last Airbender yet because I'm just not that into self-harm.

bad as in i wanted to hit the director after i saw it? eyes wide shut, prestige.
Amityville Death Toilet is the worst movie I have ever sat the whole way through. It's about 5 minutes of hilarious toilet comedy and about 60 minutes of a 50 year old realtor walking around a house. The movie has less than no budget.
At one point I was just going through a local DVD store and renting basically anything horror related to watch and encountered a movie called (Bloodz vs Wolves?) which was an indie movie on like.....the lowest end of the indie scale; damn that movie was so bad. Literally the movies made by the nostalgia critic gang were infinitely better. After that, it became really difficult to find a movie I consider to be bad; it made me patient with tons of really bad movies because of just how uniquely awful it was.
Then I saw 'Pooh: Blood and honey', and while still not as bad, it's my new go-to for comparing just how bad a movie can be with bottom of the barrel fare. Seriously, this movie was terrible in every possible way: the dialogue was bad, the plot was bad, the acting was bad, the lighting was bad, the costumes were bad, etc.
This one is going to be a bit esoteric because it's a very "local" movie but I'm gonna try my best to explain.
I've been recommended countless time by the gen X of a movie called "Le Père Noël est une Ordure" (Santa Claus is a Bastard) which is a 80's comedy that ticks all the boxes for garbage conservative humour except for some reason everyone above their 40's seem to think it's really really funny.
It's deeply misogynistic with extreme domestic abuse used as a plot device and running gag, as well as general contempt for women. It's outright mocking poor people, shows disdain for white collar workers, while poking fun very respectfully at the bourgeoisie. The richer the less degrading. I'm pretty sure it has some racism but I don't care to remember. And the most egregious of all is how massively transphobic the movie is. There's a trans woman character, she's an asshole, she's creepy, and being trans is mostly what's expected to be the actual joke.
I'm not even sure it has genuine comedy at some point, the cringe makes it hard to remember anything
The Breakfast Club
I want to give a (dis)honorable mention to the very long and very boring writer vacation period known as the "serial killer genius that predicted our every move" genre. It's amazingly lazy to just have people go anywhere and say "the serial killer is so smart that they planned for that too!"
