The Simpsons so far meme originated from a scene in the 2007 film The Simpsons Movie. During a moment of crisis, Bart laments that it is the worst day of his life, only for Homer to comfort him by pointing out it is actually the worst day of his life so far. This dark take on optimism quickly resonated with internet users as a way to mock escalating struggles or a general sense of impending doom. It is frequently used in business, personal life, and global events to highlight that things can always get worse.
