This week, we travel the schadenfreude route again bring you a Top 5 worst list. Yes, we realize the oddity of something being top and worst at the same time. Just live with it, Captain Literal. Once you see these five names, you'll understand why we had to do it.

And, as usual, there is a lame prize question. Watch the video and answer the question in the comments below. If you are one of the first 10 people to get it right, you may be randomly selected to win the lame prize. For some reason this excites many of you--and that makes me smile.

Last week's lame prize answer: YouTube.

Topics:: Top 5
