Trivia / Best of the Worst

• Accidentally-Correct Writing: When discussing Meredith Monk's Turtle Dreams, the crew compares it a parody of avant-garde art such as the landlord dancing scene in The Big Lebowski. As pointed out by many in the comments, one of Monk's songs was actually used in the film itself, making the comparison more apt than intended.
• Colbert Bump: After getting a whole episode dedicated to it, the obscure indie film Lycan Colony started getting sold on Amazon for $385 per copy.
• Corpsing:
  • While reviewing Psycho From Texas, Mike, Jack, Gillian, and Jay are given two lists of titles that the director of Crazy Fat Ethel II made and try to read them without laughing. All four of them fail to do so (though Gillian gives the best effort). Even Jessi, who is offscreen, couldn't maintain her composure at Sex Weirdo. ^note Other titles include Wendy's Naughty Night, Fire In Her Bed, Confessions of a Dirty Pair, and The Slut.
  • The second time Rich gets up and walks away during the Undefeatable review, Jay and Jessi can be heard laughing off camera, Josh laughs so long and hard that his head resembles an overripe tomato, and Mike is so desperate to avoid a Spit Take that he covers his mouth with both hands. Jack, while he does chortle a little at first, Straight Man that he is, composes himself once everything has gone Off the Rails and thanks the audience for watching.
• Creator Backlash:
  • According to lead actor Jack Mulcahy, Creating Rem Lezar's director Scott Zakarin was not especially pleased with some of jokes made at the movie's expense, particularly the references to pedophilia and 9/11. Mulcahy himself found RLM's commentary hilarious.
  • Between the polarizing response from fans and the numerous sexual harassment allegations that came to light after he appeared, Max Landis is the one guest who will assuredly never return. RLM seems to want to forget it ever happened.
• Milestone Celebration: The 100th episode of the show combines the show's three most recurring gimmicks (Wheel of the Worst, Black Spine Edition, and Plinketto) into Wheel of the Black Spine Plinketto. The episode also features a review of the long-requested Fateful Findings.
• Missing Episode:
  • The 2014 April Fools episode has been set to private following the fake Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review debacle with Half in the Bag. Although still unavailable on YouTube, it has since been uploaded to Vimeo.
  • The episode featuring Max Landis was de-listed after his numerous sexual harassment allegations, which is unfortunate because it features one of the most legendary discussions in the show's history: Double Down. It does not show up on Youtube searches, but can still be found by sifting through the channel's official BOTW playlist. Additionally, fans have re-uploaded the ''Double Down'' segment, which makes it easy to locate.
    • Some users have uploaded a version of the clip in which Landis has been painstakingly edited out and replaced with out-of-context clips of Mike from other episodes (often responding to Mike) or simply covered up with a massive Showbiz Pizza bear.
  • The episode spotlighting Diamond Cobra vs. The White Fox was removed after it was hit with a copyright strike. As with the above example, fans have re-uploaded the episode elsewhere. The film was the creator's college thesis film (which had No Budget), but decided to sell it on Amazon, which she unwittingly made ripe for commentary.
• Throw It In!: Occasionally invoked.
  • A sudden loud and hard sneeze by Mike that caught everyone in the discussion off guard was apparently too good to leave out of "Wheel of the Worst #3".
  • The entirety of the second part of "Wheel of the Worst #6". The second video discussion, "The Osteoporosis Dance", is twelve minutes, and consists of everyone trying desperately not to burst out laughing and failing horribly.
  • Rich trips on a green screen at the end of "Wheel of the Worst #21", taking out a light in the process. It made the destruction of that episode's loser, Massaging the Elderly, even funnier, so it was kept.
• What Could Have Been
  • Wheel of the Worst and Plinketto often have some fascinating selections that inevitably don't get chosen by the random draw, leaving the viewer to wonder what little gem is hiding behind such awesome(ly bad) cover art. And since many of them are highly-obscure VHS tapes which are long since out-of-print, the viewer will likely keep wondering.
  • At least one episode was abandoned because the cast had nothing to say about any of the videos.
• Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things:
  • The message board was unlinked in 2014 due to viewer abuse. The board is now only populated with longtime viewers who saved the URL, and a new Tapatalk board replaced it in late 2017.
  • An annual New Year's stream of old RLM videos, hosted by Jay, was discontinued after he learned that fans had been pirating the content.
