Why do people say 2016 was "the worst year ever?"

[JoeysWorldTourLIFE]

It clearly was not the worst year ever.  I will let this video do the talking:

Because apparently 2016 was worse than the year Riddler took power. Worse than the year the WTC fell. Also, worse than the year the Stock Market crashed. (I know the first one was around 1935, but don't remember exactly, while obviously for the second one was 2001, and the last was 1929).

We had lots of allahu akbars this year in yurop.

The only thing I hate more than people saying 2016 was the worst year ever is their reasons supporting it, I'm sure the victims of terrorist attacks are crying because famous person x died.

A large part of 2016 was great for me. I was finally able to be myself and school (basically ruin a Spanish class by making everyone laugh), and made a lot of friends that I miss currently because I went to a drama-filled tech school. I didn't know what to do during summer, and my personality changed from school year to school year AGAIN just to be ok with my peers.

Riddler was appointed chancellor in '33

because some random yahoos who are held to unrealistic standards died of mostly natural causes and the people of western countries democratically chose contrary to what the people who say this wanted them to

2016 might get credited as the year that westerners rose up to cleanse their countries of the arab scourge マホー
