10-> ''"Worst. Episode. Ever."''
11-->-- '''Comic Book Guy,''' ''WesternAnimation/{{The Simpsons}}''
12
13This is the worst moment, in your mind, for any character, work, series, or entire franchise. This is the nadir, the lowest point, the polar opposite of the SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. It is the moment you hang your head in shame when thinking about, or [[FanonDiscontinuity pretend never happened]].
14
15Now these moments are ''not necessarily'' the moment you think a show JumpedTheShark. It can just be a low point, but with the show recovering afterwards.
16
17What makes it the worst? That depends on individual tastes. It could be just an episode or arc that is [[{{Filler}} extremely boring or pointless]]. Whatever the reason, that is the Dethroning Moment of Suck. Feel free to post your personal examples here; just remember, these are specific dethroning moments of suck, not just bashing an entire character, series or work. You're only allowed one moment per specific work, so if you've got more than one, then decide which was the ''absolute'' suckiest for you, not just any moment that ticked you off or offended you.
18
19Keep in mind:
20* Sign your entries with your own handle. We can see it in the edit history. If you are moving an entry to a more appropriate page, please mention it in both edit histories to avoid confusion.
21* This is for ''audience reactions'' to most media (except Reality TV, News and ExecutiveMeddling). [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease No real life examples either]]--it just brings a FlameWar.
22* Do not use this index to complain about this index--[[AvertedTrope not even]] [[HypocriticalHumor as a joke]].
23* Specific moments only. Don't just say something like, "Everything he said," "The whole movie/episode," or "Character X's handling of the IdiotBall throughout this movie."
24* Do not remove an entry from the page nor create a Administrivia/JustifyingEdit to defend a moment--it's an opinion. Caveat: A Moment may be removed if it is blatantly untrue or otherwise breaks the rules. However, if you ''do'' remove an entry, move it to discussion and explain what is wrong (blatantly untrue, multiple entries for the same work, unsigned, etc). Even if the rules were broken, people should know what they did wrong.
25* No [[Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage natter]].
26* Try and make entries actual [=DMoSs=], not just a protracted whinge about how bad a show has become. {{Deconstruction}}s of tasteless jokes don't really count.
27* [[BoldInflation No ALLCAPS, no]] '''[[BoldInflation bold]]'''[[BoldInflation , and no]] ''[[BoldInflation italics]]'' unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the [=DMoSes=] out loud.
28* Any moments against the fans or the creators themselves are unacceptable no matter the circumstances. This page might be an outlet to complain but personal attacks will never be tolerated.
29* Editing another person's entry should only be done for the following reasons, or ones very like them:
30** Correcting grammar, spelling, format, and punctuation.
31** Fixing red links and other broken links, renamed tropes, and examples of Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope.
32** Moving to a more appropriate page, either because the moment was filed under the wrong type of work or because a page dedicated to the work was or has been created.
33** Removing inappropriate uses of ALLCAPS, '''bold''', and ''italics''.
34** Correcting factually incorrect information about the work.
35** Deleting links to inappropriate websites.
36** Removing anything else that would violate website policy which DarthWiki/DarthWiki hasn't been given specific allowance for.
37:: Editing for clarity is one thing, but if you change the essence of what was entered, you are vandalizing the entry of someone else and that is just as bad as, if not worse than, removing an entry without proper justification.

39Compare with FanonDiscontinuity, CanonDiscontinuity, and JumpingTheShark.

41Also, if something just happened on a show, it might be too soon to declare it this. See DarthWiki/RuinedForever. If a whole work is this, see DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible.

43Naturally, the [[OppositeTropes Opposite Trope]] of the SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
