Worst. Reviews. I. Have. Ever. Seen.

This is a two-panel satirical meme mocking perceived inconsistencies in video game review scores from outlet IGN. The first panel features the character Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants looking delighted and infatuated, surrounded by floating pink heart emojis, holding a red 10/10 IGN-style score badge, paired with text reading 'IGN when a buggy and unplayable glitchy game comes out'. The second panel shows Squidward looking angry and disgusted, holding a red 7/10 IGN-style score badge, paired with text reading 'IGN when an actual masterpiece of a game comes out'. The joke plays on widely circulated criticism that IGN often overscores low-quality, broken new releases while underscoring well-made, polished game titles.

Origin notes

This meme was originally shared on Reddit's r/meme subreddit with the provided original title. It edits two existing still frames from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, overlaying IGN review score graphics and satirical text to create the joke. The base Squidward reaction frames are a widely used existing meme template, making this a derivative edited work.
