{{quote|''"Last night's Itchy & Scratchy was, without a doubt, the worst episode ever. Rest assured I was on the Internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world."''|"'''Comic Book Guy"''', ''[[The Simpsons]]'' ("The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show")}}
 
So Bob and Alice have just finished a harrowing experience and a witty one liner is needed to sum up the entire situation. What ever will our intrepid heroes do?
 
{{quote| ''"Worst X Ever!"''}}
 
Well played, heroes!
Line 14:
A more verbose variant would be to say, "This is the worst X in the long history of X..."
 
Compare [[Worst News Judgment Ever]] which is an example of this very trope on [[This Very Wiki]]. Contrast with [[It's the Best Whatever Ever!]] Also see [[Beergasm]], an inversion of this trope on [[This Very Wiki]], and [[Punctuated! forFor! Emphasis!]], a sister phrase.

* Shows up in ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'', unsurprisingly: Comic Book Guy dubs an [[Escort Mission]] "worst videogame cliché ever".

Line 108 ⟶ 107:
* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''
** ''Reconstruction'' gives us what is probably a contender for best example of this trope in the first fight against the Meta:

'''Wash:''' That. Was the worst throw. Ever. Of all time.<br />

{{quote| '''Doc:''' Wash! Here! Take this!<br />
'''(Doc waves tow hook attached to jeep)''<br />
'''Wash:''' Doc? Throw it! Throw it!<br />
''(Doc throws the hook about two feet)''<br />
'''Wash:''' You have GOT to be kidding me...<br />
''(Wash leaps and grabs the hook and climbs up the cable)''<br />
'''Wash:''' That was the second worst throw. Ever. Of all time.<br />
'''Doc:''' What do you want from me? I ran track in high school. }}

Line 151 ⟶ 150:
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': The [[Trope Maker]], of course.
** Introduced by Comic Book Guy in "The Itchy & Scratchy & [[Shoo Out the New Guy|Poochie]] Show".
** In the eleventh season's "Saddlesore Galactica", Comic Book Guy criticizes the episode, which recycles old plots and character traits ("Excuse me, I believe this family already had a horse", Marge's gambling). As the episode proceeds, he wears a "Worst Episode Ever" shirt. When the credits end at the Gracie Films production logo, he says, "Worst. Episode. Ever."
** Appropriately enough, the twelfth-season episode "Worst Episode Ever" centers around Bart and Milhouse taking over Comic Book Guy's store after he suffers a cardiac episode (a heart attack). Which CBG refers to as, of course, "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Worst episode ever.]]"
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''
** Toph calls Ba Sing Se the "Worst. City. Ever." based on the rules the Dai Li imposes.
** Also:
{{quote| '''[[Badass Adorable|Toph]]:''' Worst. Vacation. Ever.}}
** And "Worst. Fieldtrip. Ever." (Again by Toph. Can you tell that she loves this trope?)
** Earlier in the episode "Avatar Day", Sokka summed up the whole experience: "Worst. Town. Ever."
* ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' plays this for drama and humor in the same episode. when Korra gets so frustrated over her airbending block she calls herself the worst Avatar ever, Tenzin assures her she'll get through it. When she applies the same trope to Tarlokk's new puppet police chief, he completely agrees.
{{quote| '''Korra:''' You are officially the worst chief of police ever.<br />
'''Tenzin:''' Calm down Korra. I'll get this sorted out, we just need to be patient. But you really are the worst. (starts to go, then turns) EVER. }}
* ''[[Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes]]'':
{{quote| '''Sue:''' I know, I know: we're the Worst. Neighbors. Ever. Right?}}
* ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'': "Lamest. Prize. Ever."
* ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'':
{{quote| '''[[The Simpsons (animation)|Comic Book Guy]]:''' Worst. Cameo. Ever}}

** In "Fairly Odd Baby", Jorgen described one of Timmy's plans as "Worst. Plan. Ever."
** In "Wishology", Jorgen commented, "Worst. Chosen One. Ever."
