All code is bad and Google puts almost everything in one repository, so I'm going to say that ;-).
For more traditionally defined bad code, I worked with a team that rewrote an existing service from scratch using with 40000 lines of spaghetti. The service that it replaced was 80000 lines, and was replaced despite working perfectly fine because it was a total clusterfuck with dependencies interwoven across every service anyone had ever heard of. This was a payments system for a major online retailer. All of this code has been removed since.
I also used to participate in Java4k, a competition to make games fit in 4 kilobyte jar files. Writing almost everything inside a while loop in a single function is basically table stakes for that.

Your post should be at the top of the thread. Rewriting projects from scratch tend to do more harm than good, and the only reason this problem isn't addressed very often os that the people invested in reinventing the wheel don't admit to having caused more problems than they solved, and the ones who developed the old systems have moved on and thus are unable to say anything in their defense.
