History WebVideo / BestOfTheWorst

* TheFilmOfTheBook: Inverted with ''The Last Vampire on Earth''. The book is really just a 99 page novelization made to exploit this trope and copy ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' even more.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In-universe when Rich reminds Mike that he made ''Space Cop'', Mike defends himself by noting its popularity in Uganda and showing a clip from Wakaliwood.

** The ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' episode appears to be this trope incarnated... 40 minutes of seemingly unedited tangents about everything BUT the special.

** One of the crew describes ''How Can I Tell If I'm Really In Love'' as though it were directed by Creator/SalvadorDali. The end of the episode references Film/UnChienAndalou, which was partially made by Salvador Dali.

* SoBadItsGood[=/=]DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible: [[invoked]] The entire point of ''Best of the Worst'' is to decide if a film is "good bad" or "bad bad". That is, entertaining or not.

* BleepDammit: Creator/PattonOswalt's time-stopping rant in Plinketto #8 is [[CensoredForComedy almost completely censored]], except for a few random words and a single "fuck".

* ''Black Spine Edition'': The gang selects unlabeled videos so they don't know what they'll be watching. This has also been spun-off further into a game, ''Junka'', where two members play a form of ''Jenga'' with the VHS cassettes. The winner forces the group to watch every single tape they pulled from the stack. Only a few of the tapes are actually reviewed during the roundtable.

The cast of each show is typically composed of four variable members, including Mike Stoklasa, Jay Bauman, Rich Evans, Jack Packard, Josh "The Wizard" Davis and, in more recent years, Tim Higgins. Early episodes often included Mike's girlfriend Jessi Nakles. Some episodes feature special guest members, such as Canadian visual effects artists Colin Cunningham and Jim Maxwell. The show sometimes makes room for celebrity guests, including screenwriter Creator/MaxLandis[[note]]Whose appearances have since been scrubbed from the channel due to several sexual abuse claims against him[[/note]], comic book artist Freddie Williams II, actor/fight choreographer/GiftedlyBad director Len Kabasinski, actor/writer/director Simon Barrett, actor Creator/MacaulayCulkin (alongside Shawn [=DePasquale=] of ''Bunny Ears''), comedian/actor Creator/PattonOswalt, and actor Creator/JackQuaid.

* BoringButPractical: While admitting that ''Let's Rap About Fire Safety'' is horribly out of date, Rich Evans says that the information on the video is useful because it would have helped him when he was younger[[note]]Most people assumed he rich was a child when this happened, but Rich later revealed that it happened when he was 22[[/note]]; a dramatized incident in the video where somebody started a grease fire while trying to cook French fries actually happened to him once in real life. Though not for the same reasons, Mike comes to the same conclusion.

** The Wheel of the Worst itself. Following its first destruction, it gets immediately broken by Mike again after every painstaking reconstruction by Rich.

* ClicheStorm: ''Film/DeadlyPrey'' is considered by the group to be filled with nothing but stock 1980s action movie cliches with little to no plot or character development. Even more so by its sequel, ''The Deadliest Prey'', which reuses all the same cliches the previous movie had [[spoiler:until the twist ending]]. [[invoked]]

** [[invoked]] The protagonist of ''[[Film/TheExterminator Exterminator 2]]'' as described by the crew.

* [[JerkassGods Jerkass God]]: Gary Coleman, according to the crew's AlternativeCharacterInterpretation. In his efforts to [[ItAmusedMe amuse himself]] and impress [[HospitalHottie a hot nurse]], he chokes a boy almost to death, nearly gives him a concussion, and summons an attempted home intruder to rape the children's mother.

** References to Rich's embarrassing childhood photo at Pizza Time Theater wearing a handmade "Dick the Birthday Boy" shirt, and then later the moment Creator/EllenDeGeneres used that very same photo on her show with guest Creator/SandraBullock, leading to another layer of Running Gags about Rich making it big and becoming more famous than the rest of the crew.
