In this episode we discuss the exciting world of franchise fiction, workplace layouts, and Patrick’s rage at a lack of Wreck-It Ralph merchandise. But that is all a preamble to our diving deep into the recent Hamburglar reboot, and the history of your favorite fast food spokescreatures.

This and the previous episode have benefitted from the triumphant return of King on episode art, and there is much rejoicing.

In this episode, we discuss movies, zombified Robert Stack, human memory, the unmistakable human frailty of Aaron Neville, incepting a restaurant, and our experiences with restaurants that do not have food.

This episode also features the triumphant return of King to the album art. We didn’t even make him draw cartoon porn or hitler this time.

BONUS VIDEO! The Little People theme, inexplicably by Aaron Neville:

In this episode we talk about on-the-job training, the existential and social paradigms that technology is rapidly changing, and that thing you get onions from in a hotdog bar.

In this episode we uncover some new VR horrors, talk about haircuts that drive us insane, and summarize the best Albert Pyun James Bond Knockoff ever.

Our bad-movie-night spinoff program Cinemanauts recently uncovered a gem called Spitfire, which quickly climbed to the top of the most perfect terrible movies ever made. Check out our riff on it:

In this episode we talk a lot about private area skin treatments, the baked good inquisition, and the breakfast cereals of yore. Oh, and eating pizza in a field.

This New Year’s Day sobriety test recording has a healthy discussion about hummus in our nation’s dark past and darker future, Infotainment systems, and Ray’s secret desire to pilot a ketchup-bottle-themed spacecraft.

No, really. It’s not one of his fever dreams. Check it out:

A holiday miracle, back in the saddle! WTE returns from hiatus, sadly Kingless, for an episode about depressing dog treats, waifus, and Ray’s luchadore name. Also, Patrick’s childhood rage against fake scientists.

This is what was left over from the recording that mostly made up Episode 10. It’s not our funniest episode, but there’s good news! It’s also not our longest. We talk a lot about Dr. Who. We have amazing guest stars. We also learn how to draw a Vector Hamburger. Thanks for coming out, Brian and Lora!

A new Mass Effect 1 inspired Juicy Nugget. This happened as we chatted on Skype while Patrick played ME1 for the first time through. As it turns out, there are a great deal more uses for Omni-Gel in the Mass Effect Universe than Patrick originally anticipated. If you haven’t played Mass Effect, very little of this will make sense to you.

Originally posted over here on Tumblr, here’s the result of a little prank we pulled on JonnyAce, who you might remember from WTE Episode 7 as “The Guy Who Kept Telling Everyone He Hated Them.”

A selection of clips from our spinoff project, the Worst Thing Ever Cinemanauts. This is more of a random gathering of people, who get drunk and watch bad movies together. This is some of the out of context hilarity that came out of the first few weeks.

We also have our friend Brian, who was completely cut from a prior episode. Sorry, Brian. You’re in the teaser talking about balls now, though! Bet you don’t regret that at all.

In this episode we discuss movies, video games, and the 80s – which comes as a surprise to no one. Ashley then tells us about the Hooker Bus to the Hooker Games, and everything goes in a very different direction.

Throughout this two-part episode, King is drawing the eventual artwork for Episode 6, which those of you who have not wisely repressed it will recall involves what is essentially gay cartoon porn. That’s a running theme through the episode, where we also discuss The Dong as currency, Black Dynamite, Mansions in Heaven, Pity Claus, Star Wars from Chewbacca’s Point of view, and a hell of a lot of Wikihow.

In perhaps our least funny episode, we branch out and actually discuss some topics like Webcomics not just for yucks, but to actually discuss them. Don’t worry, we still come up with an awful new deviant sexual term with no set definition, we still find things from the 80s that King has never heard of, and Ray still has a story hating on his wife’s cat. It’s still Worst Thing Ever, just shorter and more about things we’re into.

This was recorded in December 2010, and now catches us up to the current era of this depraved show. Next up: another 6 hour marathon with 2 new guests!

Way back in November 2010, we recorded a 6 hour extravaganza, from which the Juicy Nuggets episodes were pulled. That left roughly 5 hours and 45 minutes of remaining material.

In this 2-part episode, made from that material, we cover accents, the Kinect, Hobo Gift wrapping, necrophile CSI, and coin a brand new and horrifying sexual act called The Old General Mills.

Please note that this was recorded BEFORE this Penny-Arcade strip: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/11/29/ We are comedy geniuses!

Some of you may have seen this tweet while we were recording the aforementioned 6 hour marathon. King has almost no recollection of this happening, so thankfully it was recorded for posterity.

Enjoy.

Our last recording session clocked in at over 6 hours. They aren’t all winners, but this is still a massive amount of material, and in the process of cutting such a lengthy recording into episodes, you get some leftovers. There are other fiddly bits of shows that have been cut for one reason or another as well, so we’d like to introduce a new, short-form type series of these little gems, that we’re calling Juicy Nuggets. They’re the food that keeps you going between meals.

In this first such nugget, Ray reads us the wondrous diary of Max Burbank, of I-Mockery fame as he describes his journey into the madness of Golden Corral. Consider this our Christmas gift to you, the fatted masses out there who have gorged themselves this day on Ham and multi-splendored casseroles.

Enjoy!

In this quasi-“live” episode, recorded with Patrick, Ray, and Ashley all in the same room, sound quality and general coherency goes out the window a bit. We discuss King’s new take on life as a married man, Goldfish Krakens, Untapped Casino Themes, the persuasive powers of Scarlett Johansen, Popples, and much, much more.  Somehow we even discuss the validity of Taquitos as a foodstuff.

Joining the regular cast are the regular cast-joiners, Ashley and Leslie, whom you may remember from Episode 3. We blamed them for the amount of semen and masturbation discussion, and there’s a minimal amount of that in this episode.

In this episode, we bounce from topic to horrible topic like a disgusting and uncomfortably seedy pinball machine. Covered concepts include the opening to Laverne and Shirley, names for mustacheless mustache rides, Razz’s naked wedding photos, masturbating in the shower, Badservo’s feet, masturbating in the shower, text-command adventure games, Sam Elliot’s Fireplace: the anthology show, the engineering factors that go into proper sandwich construction, Hotel Art Artists, Vaginal saloon doors, the russian-roulette sandwich club of Patrick’s dreams, and deli-style cigarettes. Also, some discussion about semen, feet, and masturbating in the shower. There’s a whole lot more semen and masturbation talk than any of us expected, frankly. We expected some, of course, but not that much. Sorry.

Joining your regular hosts for this episode are the incomparable Ashley (@lilenrgzrbunny) and Leslie (@neuronimo). This was an experiment in a larger group, and Ray was the only organized one, so it’s a little chaotic.

Clan Lotus! *splooge*

Congratulations to Razz, who is getting married the day of this episode’s release. Yay!

In this episode we discuss Hitler’s true legacy, Hitler Cats, the myriad of ways that Razz is completely oblivious to 1980s culture, how Pon Farr is a racial ability with a cooldown, the frozen, protected specifics of Meagan’s bachelorette party, and some terrible movies.  Also, Hitler.

In this inaugural episode, we discuss what drives relationships, Tim Burton, play the Movie Title game, and generally blather on for a little less than an hour.  We also lost the 3 participants in Texas more than once.

This was erroneously recorded at a lower bitrate,  and has several participants without mics, so the audio is considerably better in later episodes.
