There are many additional funny ones, but I mostly tried to keep with a theme above.
So, along the way back you can check out Salmon Arm, Vulcan, Eyebrow, Moose Jaw, Flin Flon, Punkydoodles Corners, Swastika, Emo, Utopia, Saint-Louis-du-Ha!-Ha!, Asbestos, Peakaboo Corner, Sober Island, Crapaud, Jerrys Nose, Witless Bay, Goobies, and many, many more.
- Nova Scotia is keeping it real as fuck.
- Excuse me, op specifically asked for terrible places
  
  Yeah, I went by the examples in the text, not the title :)

There's a UK road trip that goes from Twatt to Shitterton through Cock Bridge, Dick Place, Cock Alley, Bitchfield, Whores Wood and Ass Hill.
- But why is it terrible tho?
  
  Ah I read it as terribly named places for some reason

Texas is a pretty terrible place. And it’s huge. Have fun.

There's a village not far from me called Shitterton. It's actually quite nice despite the name.

Gary, indiana

Tracy, California.
All I know about it is when my friends car broke down there for two days. Sounded awful.
So yeah, a terrible place for a road trip destination.
Similarly, I'd also say Monroe, Louisiana. To quote an old B-movie from the 50's "There's nothing off of I-20!"
There's no unfortunately named landmarks, just unfortunate people in unfortunate towns.
- Very accurate. But don't worry, there are worse places along the way!
- Can confirm, Tracy is in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing to do.
- it sounds so innocuous. What's wrong with it?

There's a state park in Kentucky called "Big Bone Lick"

I once drove through Ohio, don't remember my exact route, but came up north from Kentucky to Cincinnati, then east into Pennsylvania
There may be more boring drives out there, but I haven't made them.
Cincinnati seemed like a nice enough city though. Can't think of any particular reason I'd ever want to go back, but I didn't hate it, so that was pretty much the high point of my time in Ohio
- Any drive through Nebraska blows.
- Denver to St Louis through KS and MI is up there
  Doesn't help that getting from West to East on i70 through Kansas City is a nightmare after driving that long.
  Spoiler: i70 doesn't just run through the city like one would think.
- Cincinnati seemed like a nice enough city though. Can't think of any particular reason I'd ever want to go back
  Clearly you’ve never had goetta.
  
  I haven't, but I live in PA, so we have scrapple which sounds pretty similar.

I'm paying a shit ton to have a basement. Why the hell would I leave it?

Challenger Deep.

Hawaii

Where exactly is Bill's Hentai Cavern? Asking for a friend
- It was a made up example that I can only hope stays made up.

Athol. It's in Mathachuthetts.
Jokes aside the town does suck.
- I’m from Massachusetts. I don’t think I have ever heard anyone say they were going to Athol for any reason.
  
  Precisely. I used to drive through there on my way to/from college. It sucks there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixmoor,_Illinois if you go there though you will love dixmoor.

Is exct a thing or just a typo?

Honolulu

Middelfart in Denmark.
That said, we also have Lolland

- North Korea, you'd get blown up and killed
  Source?
- seems like that's a scenario that's most likely to happen in burgerland actually
- ??? Nobody gets blown up going to NK. And tourists frequently enter by land.

Toad Suck, Arkansas. Got a cool pic at the lock and dam, missed the park and the town itself.
Transylvania, Louisiana. Got a pic of the bat painted on the water tower, but the general store/Post Office was closed, so no souvenirs.
- I wouldn’t force Louisiana on my worst enemy. The coast is probably fine, but in deep Louisiana, I saw more trash heaps, cars on blocks, and churches than actual businesses or non-dilapidated homes
  
  The coast is just as bad. I've done the east arkansas to new Orleans drive. Never again.

Scunthorpe
Just never go to Scunthorpe
