The World's Worsts is a devious compendium of quirky anecdotes and vamped-up trivia that illuminates the most embarrassing, laugh-out-loud ridiculous, and downright terrible moments from history and around the world. From the plague to Showgirls to thong underwear for men, The World's Worsts reveals all our faults and grotesqueries for those of us who just need to know about these sorts of things.
The World's Worsts is divided into categories, with rankings starting from the absolute worst and descending to the merely distasteful. A swath of untouchable topics is covered from idiotic book titles, like Do It Yourself Brain Surgery and Other Home Skills, to the worst ice cream flavors, such as squid and cheddar. Brad Pitt wins honors for the worst Austrian accent ever, in Seven Years in Tibet, and Dan Quayle quotes get their very own section: "The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century."
In this life where everyone stumbles now and then, some of us need a little assurance that there are some people, places, and things that can make anything look good. The World's Worsts brings ignominy to new lows and will offer solace to anyone who has ever said, "Doh!"
