| 21 | This is a {{Stock Phrase|s}} 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. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The {{Trope Maker|s}} is Comic Book Guy from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', who frequently denounces whatever he doesn't like as the "Worst. [[MadLibsCatchphrase <X>]]. Ever." Though, as indicated by the quote, first said when he viewed the introduction episode of Poochie in ''Itchy & Scratchy''. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | A more verbose variant would be to say, "This is the worst X in the long history of X..." |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Compare WorstNewsJudgmentEver which is an example of this very trope on Website/ThisVeryWiki. WorstWeddingEver is a subtrope. Contrast with ItsTheBestWhateverEver Also see {{Beergasm}}, an inversion of this trope on This Very Wiki, and PunctuatedForEmphasis, a sister phrase. |

| 242 | ** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0276.html "The Crayons of Time: The Order of the Scribble"]]: |

| 262 | * ''WebVideo/HalfInTheBag'': |
| 263 | ** Mike's liberal use of this trope has become a RunningGag at this point: On separate occasions he has declared ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'', ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'', ''Film/JackAndJill'', ''Things'', and ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian2011'' to be "the worst thing/movie (he) has ever seen". |
| 264 | ** The gag has passed over into ''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst'' as well. Although, given the calibre of films the crew watch on that show, Mike's use of this phrase isn't entirely unjustified. |

When she applies the same trope to Tarlokk's new puppet police chief, he completely agrees. |
| 301 | --->'''Korra:''' You are officially the worst chief of police ever.\ |
| 302 | '''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. |
