The system of electing members of the Hungarian Országgyűlés from 1990 to 2010 was pretty spectacular in its needless complexity, but seems to have had little impact on the actual results.

There have been other systems far more demented, but particular form of PR used in the Weimar Republic was quite special.

It was a pretty terrible system indeed. Nation-wide party lists, 0.4% national vote threshold...pretty much fulfilled every nightmare scenario for PR. The two-round system employed by the Kaiserreich was infinitely preferable IMO.
