The episode was originally called " The Fiver ", a reference to a scene in the episode that was eventually removed.
The episode title was then changed to " Worst Episode Ever ", a title which the staff were amused by.
According to Doyle, " Worst Episode Ever " is the first episode in which Comic Book Guy has a major role.

For example, Hank Azaria, who plays Comic Book Guy among other characters in the series, had a difficult time trying to make the character sound sincere.
