Bart tells Homer it was the worst day of his life, and Homer crouches down, points at him, and cheerfully corrects him: \"The worst day of your life so far.\" The emphasis on \"so far\" flips consolation into a threat, and the internet adopted the format for any situation where someone thinks they've hit rock bottom. The two-panel layout puts Bart's distress on top and Homer's gleeful correction on the bottom, set against a pink-purple sunset in Springfield. For a different flavor of Simpsons dread, see Ralph Wiggum I'm In Danger (oblivious acceptance of doom) or That's a Paddlin' (threat of consequence).","format":"classic","howToMake":["Pick any complaint, setback, or bad experience for the top panel where Bart looks miserable","The bottom text delivers Homer's correction: add \"so far\" to remind them things will only get worse.

Top panel: Bart Simpson stands alone by a road looking genuinely distressed, teeth gritted, eyes worried. Bottom panel: Homer crouches to Bart's level, pointing at him with one finger and speaking with the enthusiasm of someone delivering good news. The juxtaposition of Bart's misery and Homer's cheerful correction is the entire joke.","definition":"Bart Simpson says something is the worst experience of his life.
