Another contender would be Belleville. One of my nieces had a bunch of sets, and they are like one-way streets. It seems like the sets are intentionally designed to not be able to be built into anything other than what was pictured on the box. Where's the Spirit Of LEGO in that!? LEGO Belleville: It's the same toy every day!

Then you're not trying hard enough, I built loads of things with it when I was a kid :D

It depends on your definition of "least Lego Like". I suspect in many many ways the Jack Stone stuff was the greatest anathema to the core imaginative play philosophies underpinning Lego products. Yeah Galidor and Cickits were about as far from "system" as you could get. But at the end of the day they still leveraged a certain degree of creativity. But Jack Stone seemed to be Lego declaring that "kids don't want to build or think, they just want cheap plastic toys". More than anything else the line represented Lego losing its way.
