The Homily should reflect the readings. There are rules regarding that as well. So, it depends on what someone considers a bad homily. To me, if it follows the rules then it is good even if it is boring. Anything else, no matter how entertaining, is bad.
One of my favorite priests to hear a Homily from is Fr Ben Luedkte (spelling?). Great speaker. But, if you hear him enough you hear some of the same stuff. But even then it is nice to hear and can be fruitful.
I like Lectio Divina homilies (I've said this before.) Not some boring treatise trying to tie all three readings together. Instead, one amazing insight (or aha moment) gleaned from a prayerful reading of all the passages--an insight that people can relate to and carry with them all week. An insight that will inspire them to be better people.
Most homilists have it all wrong.
