Comic Book Guy

Sarcastic shop owner

Comic Book Guy is a character from the animated television series *The Simpsons*—an overweight, sarcastic comic shop owner known for his elitist disdain and catchphrase "Worst episode ever." The name has become shorthand for a certain type of obsessive fan: pedantic, socially awkward, and quick to dismiss anything that fails to meet impossibly specific standards.

Don't be such a Comic Book Guy about the new Star Wars film.
