Worst Whatever Ever: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

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?

 

 

Well played, heroes!

This is a [[Stock Phrase]] used to quickly demean and insult something or someone. It is normally delivered in a flat, sarcastic voice, but can also be yelled at in stressful situations. It often occurs during or after a heavy action or chase sequence, to refer to an activity that would normally be quite enjoyable if it weren't for the life-threatening situation that was just encountered.

 

 

A more verbose variant would be to say, "This is the worst X in the long history of X..."
