With a few beers in their system, a myriad of obscure video tapes to pick from, and a camera in place to capture every reactive moment, The Best of the Worst series has been considered by many RedLetterMedia viewers to be Mike Stoklasa and friends' best outing yet.
The setup usually sees the crew scour through their shelves filled with videotapes to select three from the pile. After their selection, they crack open a few beers, sit back and take it all in, where they later go on to hold a roundtable panel discussion on what they've seen with their signature dry/deadpan humor flavored throughout. And between all the farcical meta-narratives they've established throughout the series and odd distractions spurred on by their inebriation, they then attempt to evaluate and vote on which they feel is "The Best of the Worst." Consequently, the one they favored the least might be subjected to some kind of creative destruction carried out by the crew.
Aside from RLM regulars like Jay Bauman and Rich Evans, they also use this segment to occasionally bring on guest stars, from fellow B-movie enthusiasts to creators working in some capacity within the industry. Every participant --whether they're a recurring guest (Jim and Collin from Canada) or a new face to the mix -- all bring something unique to the table.
The web-series has also gone on to spawn several mini-segments under the "Best of the Worst" moniker: Wheel of the Worst, Plinketto, and Battle of the Genres, just to name a few. Each of these mini-segments adds a certain "pizzazz" to the audiovisual torture they place themselves through. Seeing their reaction is the highlight of each episode, as they spawn out meme-worthy moments, routinely incorporating active member Rich Evans as the butt of some cruel joke.
If you're a fan of RedLetterMedia's warped sense of humor, then chances are you've already seen this series, however, if your only exposure to the RLM brand starts and ends with the Plinkett Reviews or Half in the Bag, then this is one drunken carnival ride you should definitely consider climbing aboard.
