* There's an old joke that is the ''essence'' of this trope. A farmer who's been away from home for a week drives back into town, and stops for some cigarettes before he reaches his house. The sheriff pulls up and tells him some bad news...
-->'''Sheriff:''' John, I have some bad news for you. Your dog is dead.
-->'''Farmer:''' Aw damn, old Sport? What happened to him?
-->'''Sheriff:''' He died from eatin' too much horse flesh.
-->'''Farmer:''' Horse flesh?...wait a minute, you don't mean MY horses?!
-->'''Sheriff:''' Yup, they perished when your barn burnt down.
-->'''Farmer:''' My barn?!
-->'''Sheriff:''' Oh, it was the spark from the house fire that done it.
-->'''Farmer:''' My HOUSE burned?!
-->'''Sheriff:''' To the ground, thanks to those damn candles at your mother-in-law's funeral.
-->'''Farmer:''' Mother Sloan is ''dead?''
-->'''Sheriff:''' And buried! 'Twas the shock of her only daughter runnin' off with that hired man what did her in.
-->'''Farmer:''' WHAT?! My ''wife'' has left me? You're telling me that on top of all that I have to raise three children without their ''mother?!''
-->'''Sheriff:''' What? Oh, no, no... your kids all died in the barn fire!
* A Witney Darrow cartoon for ''Magazine/TheNewYorker'' magazine depicts a woman sprawled unconscious on her floor after receiving some stunning/horrific news via phone. Meanwhile, the voice at the other end is saying "...And that's not the half of it! Wait until you hear ''this!''"
* This trope of all things was subjected to this. It was originally called "It Got Worse" and defined as "a terrible situation getting some final perfect push over the edge". It became a PotholeMagnet for pretty much any situation, InUniverse and out, that might fit this trope. Not surprisingly, the situation ''got worse'' and attracted massive Administrivia/{{sinkhole}}s and misuse as a catchphrase for anything that the editor at least thought is a bad situation, thus leading to a rename to From Bad to Worse and the original name is now a [[Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub deliberate redlink]].
* RussianGuySuffersMost: In proior to the dawn of the second millenium, the [[HornyVikings Vikings]] attacked Europe and gained a reputation as {{Memetic Badass}}es who where out to RapePillageAndBurn. After about 200 years the raids stopped but then the crusades where going on. Then UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan came along...

To qualify for this trope, a [[GoneHorriblyWrong terrible situation]] must have some final perfect push over the edge. Sometimes characters within a story, usually when recounting dramatic events to others will, when asked "And then?" say, "It got worse," right before the narrative cuts to the events in question.
Very often the result of a NiceJobBreakingItHero. Usually gives that final push that crosses the GodzillaThreshold.
From Bad to Worse usually results in DownerEnding. If the characters somehow prevail, the result will be (if well done) EarnYourHappyEnding, or (if badly done) OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow.

See also RockBottom, where it's the ''characters'' who are TemptingFate by thinking things can't get worse just before they do. DarkestHour is the logical conclusion of such a chain of events. HopeSpot is a common [[DoubleSubverted double subversion]]; after things get really bad, they seem to get better before suddenly getting even worse. No relation with ItGetsBetter, which is not about events in the story, so much as the quality thereof.

Things are bad. In fact, it's all going to hell. Your family's been murdered. Your HumongousMecha ran out of juice at the worst possible moment. An army of flesh-eating orcs is about to storm your castle. People are DyingLikeAnimals left and right. We're talking May {{Sweeps}} stuff, [[GrandFinale series finale]] situations. It's as bad as you've ever seen and just when you'd thought the shit had gone down, just when you thought [[TemptingFate it couldn't possibly get any worse]]...
[[FinaglesLaw It got worse]].
To qualify for this trope, a [[GoneHorriblyWrong terrible situation]] must have some final perfect push over the edge. Sometimes characters within a story, usually when recounting dramatic events to others will, when asked "And then?" say, "It got worse," right before the narrative cuts to the events in question.
Very often the result of a NiceJobBreakingItHero. Usually gives that final push that crosses the GodzillaThreshold.
ItGotWorse usually results in DownerEnding. If the characters somehow prevail, the result is EarnYourHappyEnding.
CueTheRain is a {{subtrope}} for when this comes in the form of [[GrayRainOfDepression a sudden downpour]]. See also RockBottom, where it's the ''characters'' who are TemptingFate by thinking things can't get worse just before they do. No relation with ItGetsBetter, which is not about events in the story, so much as the quality thereof.
