World's Worst 100 Websites

The List Is Finished

2006-05-16T15:15:00.000-07:00

The order is sorted and I'm in the process of reviewing the sites. I've decided not to even link to the Nazi site I found, so if people are interested in it, they'll have to go looking themselves.

Twisted News

2006-05-11T04:59:00.000-07:00

Topical Jokes on this site, which is pleasant to the eye, though slightly cluttered with Ads. Their irreverent take on the news is a constant delight. What's bad about it? Well... it's not especially useful or especially good use of time... though perhaps that's good.

For Wimps?

2006-05-10T14:43:00.000-07:00

A myriad of links to videos which may disturb you at Wimp.com.

Sack the web designer

2006-05-10T13:16:00.000-07:00

Panels of graphics for every corner of the page. Random icons which link back to the main page. Links to an external site for all content. This might be a placeholder or under construction... it's definitely horrible. Drop Dead - the Argentinian band.

A Total Pantomime

2006-05-10T13:11:00.000-07:00

Siefriend and Roy's website is quite simply a load of marketing with no substance.

Crap to put in your blog

2006-05-10T12:54:00.000-07:00

Memes to add to a blog... thing is, memes are supposed to be good. Blogthings has a collection of the others.

My Own Photos Masquerading As Art?

2006-05-10T12:32:00.000-07:00

Well, actually, they're masquerading as "photo stock", but the point is that this is a site with large pretensions. Truly Free Stock.

A tacky named dog

2006-05-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

And his tacky site: Diamante Nero.

Fossilised

2006-05-10T12:21:00.000-07:00

The Bibliography of Fossil Vertebrates - you can search it... but you'll have to work hard... and the results aren't worth it.

Attack Of The Clones

2006-05-09T15:08:00.000-07:00

The site is called Googgle.com it's an intentionally registered misspelling.

A site about what!?

2006-05-09T14:52:00.000-07:00

The missing punctuation mark - the interrobang. An entire site for one point.

Apostrophe

2006-05-09T14:47:00.000-07:00

The Dreaded Apostrophe has a site dedicated to it.

Pimping your schoolmates

2006-05-08T12:06:00.000-07:00

The problem with Friends Reunited is that they charge you to contact people with whom you lost touch for a very good reason. They also encourage you to lie about yourself and go online to have a shufty at other people's lies. Overall, it's a very bad idea.

A multitude of timewasting pointlessness

2006-05-07T14:55:00.000-07:00

Triggur.org - timewasting traps.

Get Down Shep

2006-05-07T12:03:00.000-07:00

This site promises a lot, but the cracks begin to show. ShepCollies.dk.

It's melting my brain

2006-05-07T11:11:00.000-07:00

This website is quite simply a contradiction in terms: www.amish.net. They can't be hosting it from the back of horse-drawn carriages, surely?

Aptly Named

2006-05-07T11:04:00.000-07:00

The aptly names 4 cheap CDs.com has about 4 CDs in each category. The prices look good, but the site looks very basic. Perhaps this is one to go to as a final check that you can't buy that CD cheaper from CD-WOW, Play or Amazon.

One of many ad-led placeholder sites

2006-05-07T10:55:00.000-07:00

Maybe you're trying to find out stuff about David Blunkett and so you google him, find there's a DavidBlunkett.org.uk and then find it's nothing more than a bunch of ads.

Annoying.

Stick on beard anyone?

2006-05-07T10:50:00.000-07:00

Maybe you could buy that at TalibanReunited.com.

What's Biting Their Beans?

2006-05-07T10:19:00.000-07:00

This New Zealand based Soy website seems to have a bee in its bonnet about it. They've even enlisted Darth Vader to speak for them.

Tip-ical

2006-05-07T10:11:00.000-07:00

Here's a site run by the whingers of the service industry. Stained Apron - why being served food is a form of low-budget terrorism, apparently.

Encyclopedia, brief and full of ads

2006-05-07T05:34:00.000-07:00

It ain't no wikipedia - Infoplease.com.

Am I Hot Or Not

2006-05-07T05:04:00.000-07:00

Hotbot, which I remember as one of the original web search engines, is simply not. No way. NotHotBot.

Not a square deal

2006-05-06T12:30:00.000-07:00

The Square wheel - apparently you can buy know-how on how to do this.

No words on this site at all

2006-05-06T12:21:00.000-07:00

How to fold a dollar to predict 911. Clear A Path for this weird and wonderful site.

Another crazy

2006-05-06T12:17:00.000-07:00

This guy believes that he's involved in something akin to The Truman Show. My feeling is that he's mentally ill.

Nasty and Offensive

2006-05-06T11:48:00.000-07:00

This page is not to be viewed by anyone - "Fun under the swastika" - no way!

They're Sayin' Stuff About Google

2006-05-06T11:45:00.000-07:00

Do we really need a site with Google-related rumours.

Got Some Idle Time

2006-05-06T11:39:00.000-07:00

Then you could participate in the Distributed.net lottery. Well... it's more a futile effort to prove nothing.

Virtual Pizza

2006-05-06T11:33:00.000-07:00

A geeky pizza parlour, online since 1994, providing no valuable pizza to anyone. Check out their information regarding Dominos and its heat shielding capabilities.

Idle-time

2006-05-06T11:27:00.000-07:00

Why not waste that time with a ScreenSaver that doesn't save the screen - Holding Pattern.

Virtual TV

2006-05-06T11:25:00.000-07:00

This website is dedicated to the TV channels and shows of yesteryear. In addition they have flash reconstructions of TV clocks and station IDs. 625.uk.com.

Tease-tastic

2006-05-06T11:15:00.000-07:00

The Daily Tease - not the most valuable or useful of mailing lists.

A Thing of Beauty - all dried up

2006-05-06T11:13:00.000-07:00

The NASA Astronomy Photo Of The Day is relatively interesting and nice to have. However, it's a bit turgid.

Standing Alone

2006-05-06T11:08:00.000-07:00

The Stand Alone conversation forums. Waste of time and space. Looks rotten.

Smile, though your heart is aching

2006-05-06T10:52:00.000-07:00

Or maybe use one of these tacky Smileys from SmileyCentral.

Too two dimensional?

2006-05-06T10:50:00.000-07:00

A bunch of 2D Games.

Professor Hawking even likes this

2006-05-06T10:44:00.000-07:00

There are a lot of easy jokes about Stephen Hawking, this site has some of the harder ones: MC Hawking.

More Pseudo Religion

2006-05-06T10:42:00.000-07:00

The Church of the flying spaghetti monster - a pseudo religious site too. Can't we all just agree on one religion? Jedi anyone?

Goat philosophy

2006-05-06T10:41:00.000-07:00

Goatism and you thought that wearing a goatie was bad.

Feeling Flat

2006-05-04T14:36:00.000-07:00

Flatmate needed? Need somewhere to live? Don't try Flatmateclick.

The One With All The Friends

2006-05-04T14:26:00.000-07:00

Here is a Friends Fan Site which has very little going for it. Bad design, limited content and a sense of it being rather out of date.

It might be satiric

2006-05-02T22:53:00.000-07:00

But it's also truly awful - Comic Sans Appreciation Society.

The talent is definitely lacking

2006-05-01T14:19:00.000-07:00

Success does not necessarily mean being any good, or worthy of support - see Jonathan King's website for evidence of this.

University Of Bleeding Obvious

2006-05-01T14:16:00.000-07:00

The University of The Bleeding Obvious - a website full of... well... isn't it obvious?

M. Kelly

2006-05-01T14:12:00.000-07:00

Michael Kelly's website - an opinionated and hard to read junkyard of text-only context.

Love of spam?

2006-05-01T14:11:00.000-07:00

Not a love of the nasty unsolicited email, but, instead a love of the bizarre pink meat. Spam.com.

CNPS

2006-05-01T14:08:00.000-07:00

Consecutive number plate spotting is a pursuit that will destroy your mind. The site is not especially well put together, though it is simple. The leaderboard is a bit useless in that it shows people who have completed the game at the top - and you can never get there.

Hungry?

2006-05-01T14:06:00.000-07:00

Fancy a Ninja burger?

It's all geek to me

2006-05-01T14:01:00.000-07:00

A crummy test in a few languages, these geeks are not geeky enough.

The World's Worst Movie Review Site

2006-05-01T14:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, it has a "WISDOM" rating and a swear-word count... and some of the most horrible computer graphics in the world - Capalert.

Examine this

2006-05-01T13:39:00.000-07:00

The Framley Examiner is a spoof newspaper, so good it hasn't been updated in over a year.

Seems vaguely racist to me

2006-05-01T13:37:00.000-07:00

Engrish - when people from Asia don't quite understand the English words that they like.

Religious Blow-out

2006-05-01T13:36:00.000-07:00

The inflatable church - surely not a let down for anyone.

Four Word Film Review

2006-05-01T13:35:00.000-07:00

The four word film review - takes someone's hard work and reduces it to minimalist oblivion.

Simply The Best

2006-05-01T13:12:00.000-07:00

It may be the Best Page In The Universe but that doesn't make it any good.

A Mistake To Visit

2006-05-01T13:06:00.000-07:00

People with too much time on their hands write about the errors found in movies. With terrible design and adverts all of the place, this is something of a dog's dinner:

Movie Mistakes

Tablature-tastic

2006-05-01T12:59:00.000-07:00

A truly inadequate collection of guitar tabs here.

For more lyrics than you can shake a stick at

2006-05-01T12:55:00.000-07:00

Don't go to Lyrics Connection. It's obsolete and doesn't even have a beatles lyric on it. Weird!

Poor Lady Mondegreen

2006-05-01T12:52:00.000-07:00

Database of misheard lyrics - why would anyone celebrate their inadequacy?

Smashing!

2006-05-01T11:16:00.000-07:00

Another waste of everyone's time - Smash My iPod.

Content-free

2006-05-01T11:12:00.000-07:00

The Uncyclopedia - an encyclopedia of the bizarre and the pointless.

Fancy a Quincy

2006-05-01T11:10:00.000-07:00

An entire site devoted to Quincy. With an episode guide that's virtually empty.

Check out Quincy Examiner.

Google can make a bad tool

2006-05-01T10:58:00.000-07:00

Google Sets - one of the wackiest creations from Google.

Do you cut it?

2006-05-01T10:06:00.000-07:00

Jamming a Pair of Scissors Repeatedly Into Your Crotch - made for the World's Worst list!

A whole world of wasted time

2006-05-01T09:59:00.000-07:00

Rinkworks contains much that could be described as a waste of time. Of most notability is the dialect converter. However, they can also save you time with their <1minute summaries of the classic movies and books.

It's still all a lot of old rubbish!

Rock paper scissors

2006-05-01T09:38:00.000-07:00

Rock paper scissors - The World Rock Paper Scissors site.

Buy Him A Pint

2006-05-01T09:33:00.000-07:00

Ah go on. Buy Padge a pint and he'll drink to you on the internet. I bought him pint 19 - Buymeapint.com.

Concrete Computer Security

2006-05-01T09:26:00.000-07:00

This mini-site, well, it's just a page really, explains how to secure your computer is a most ludicrous manner - by pouring concrete into it:

Computer Security.

What is legal anyway?

2006-05-01T09:09:00.000-07:00

600,000 mp3s on mp3search.ru they're only 10 cents each. It's legal... or at least it would be if you could understand the russian legal statement.

Quite cheesy

2006-04-30T09:24:00.000-07:00

Cupped Expressions - what exactly is this? Well, it contains an odd Cheese Quiz.

Moon hoax

2006-04-30T09:18:00.000-07:00

This is a site to deal with the alleged hoax that was the NASA moonlanding. Bizarrely, there's no link to the site from its own homepage. But here is the link.

www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax

Blogged

2006-04-30T09:12:00.000-07:00

Stunning stuff on this blog. I would recommend the delete option.

Won't you rate my ride

2006-04-30T08:21:00.000-07:00

Some Kiwi guys want you to rate their rides.

For people with fluffy head

2006-04-30T08:11:00.000-07:00

Maybe you're the sort of person abusing the office computer to find the best pictures of kittens you can stare at, wasting your day and your employer's money!

NoBrain!

2006-04-30T08:09:00.000-07:00

Dobhran.com - a site full of all the things which people send to each other.

That doesn't make them any good!

Sheet Music

2006-04-30T08:00:00.000-07:00

An archive of sheet music that's free, but has limited access, bad reproduction, copyright breach and not especially good design.

Sheet Music Archive.

Recreating Star Wars again?

2006-04-30T07:21:00.000-07:00

ASCIImation - the use of text to make a rehash of Star Wars!

What do we want?

2006-04-30T07:13:00.000-07:00

Making a petition? Then maybe go to Petition Spot where nearly 10,000 people want to get a Michael Jackson DVD and only 30 want exploitative child slave-labour reduced.

I remember it being better

2006-04-30T07:06:00.000-07:00

The Onion used to be an amusing and vaguely satiric spoof newspapre. Now, it's fairly dull.

Another sense of pointlessness - emulating a home computer

2006-04-30T06:58:00.000-07:00

It's an impressive tour-de-force, being able to use an old Spectrum computer within a web browser to play the old fashioned games... but is there any point? No. No, there isn't!

Spectrum emulator at twinbee.org.

MIDI MIDI MIDI

2006-04-30T06:50:00.000-07:00

Before MP3 we had Midi files - and they're still out there. Check MIDIDB.

What the hell is this?

2006-04-30T06:40:00.000-07:00

A site offering "clips"? Clips of what? Clippings? It's hard to say. It appears to have only 45 items of content, and I couldn't find anything even remotely useful.

BestClips.com.

Me dot com

2006-04-30T06:36:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, a man named Chris set up a website dedicated to himself - see Chris.com. Mainly, this site contains ascii art, which is also no good!

Fanatics

2006-04-30T06:33:00.000-07:00

Star Trek fan fiction on TrekFanFiction.

Butt Clenchingly Awful

2006-04-30T06:31:00.000-07:00

The Superficial - ramblings about celebrities.

The Princess Diana Conspiracy

2006-04-30T06:26:00.000-07:00

There's bound to be somewhere on the net for the wackos to muse about the events surrounding Princess Diana's death. Here is that place.

Bad, Strong or otherwise

2006-04-30T06:25:00.000-07:00

Or maybe visit Homestarrunner.com to see more pointless cartoons.

Dude!

2006-04-30T06:23:00.000-07:00

Visit Dudestudios for pointless recreations of starwars in Flash.

A tip off

2006-04-23T15:09:00.000-07:00

I'm not the only person to attempt a compendium of internet inadequacy. Here is someone else's:

www.webpagesthatsuck.com

I'll check them out to get some tips.

A half-blood prince among sites

2006-04-20T13:23:00.000-07:00

The Floo network has a bunch of good Harry Potter fan sites. This one looks to be the least well-endowed.

Lose and waste time

2006-04-20T13:08:00.000-07:00

Play And Win.

Full of advertising

2006-04-20T13:03:00.000-07:00

Quizilla - plenty of ads, no useful content. ADHD guaranteed.

Pathetic

2006-04-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

A site dedicated to Pathetic Motorways. Oh what joy.

People against "under construction"

2006-04-20T12:58:00.000-07:00

But clearly in favour of horrible horrible web design - RickyR.

What an oddness

2006-04-20T12:54:00.000-07:00

This is a site devoted to abusing the site name extensions. Very odd - Domain Brain.

Not exactly intelligent debate

2006-04-20T12:48:00.000-07:00

Moorewatch - just a begging bowl, littered with adverts. Very unimpressive.

Under the evil arches

2006-04-20T12:45:00.000-07:00

This Canadian McDonald's site is somewhat more formal than you might expect.

Big corp

2006-04-20T12:40:00.000-07:00

What is it with eBay? Just because it's well known doesn't make it any good!

Why did all have to be so complicated?

2006-04-20T12:39:00.000-07:00

Teenage angst on this teenager's blog.
