Synopsis

Bart and Milhouse are banned for life from the Comic Book Guy's store, The Android's Dungeon when they mess up a sale. But when the Comic Book Guy suffers from a heart attack (which he called "the worst episode ever") when witnessing Tom Savini's work. Comic Book Guy gives Bart and Milhouse the duty of running his store since he doesn't really have any friends until he can recover. It becomes wildly successful, but unfortunately, it is also revealed that Comic Book Guy owned a secret stash of illegal video clips (see more information below), and Bart and Milhouse charge admission for viewing. This works well until Chief Wiggum busts them. In the meantime, Homer helps a recovering Comic Book Guy look for a friend to make. Attempts fail until he meets Agnes Skinner, in a surprising way. They become friends until Chief Wiggum comes to arrest Comic Book Guy for his illegal videotapes.

Trivia

  • Illegal videos Comic Book Guy owns include:

    Illegal Alien Autopsy

    Mr. Rogers getting drunk
    A tape warning Springfield may be vulnerable to a nuclear war
  • It may be called "Worst Episode Ever", but Hank Azaria won an Emmy Award in 2001 for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for this episode.
  • Obviously, its title comes from Comic Book Guy's punchline, "Worst! (insert thing here)! Ever!"

Quotes

  • Mr. Rogers (drunk): Wadda you mean I can't take off my sweater? I'M HOT!
  • Bart: It wasn't Dad's fault, the ape tricked him.
  • Milhouse: Okay, here's Comic Book Guy's instructions: A carton of malted milk balls, one box confectioner's sugar, a can of chocolate frosting...
    Bart: That's just his shopping list.
    Milhouse: No, it's his instructions.
  • Dr. Hibbert: Sir, you've just had what we call a "cardiac episode".
