It is already well established that McG is the worst, and that Michael Bay is the worst, independent of each other. But now they are going head to head in a race to see who can be the absolute worst. SPOILER ALERT: McG wins. /Film explains how we got here:

A feud between Michael Bay and McG has been developing since January when Bay took a shot at McG’s use of a big giant robot in Terminator Salvation: “We’ve seen certain movies coming out even try to duplicate Transformer size robots in their ads,” wrote Bay. “Please, come on.”

McG quickly responded “”It bothers me to tell you the truth. Ultimately, our large robots have nothing to do with the Transformers robots. I say with respect, giant robots have been the theme of film for a real long time.” And then the new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Superbowl teaser aired which many believe ripped off the flickery transmission intro that was used in the Terminator teaser trailer. Bay then commented that he “would love to see my robots take on Terminators”.

Right. Giant robots have been the theme of film for a real long time. Hellloooo? Robot Getting Married? Roboting Henry? Giant Robot Milk? I’m actually hard pressed to think of a film for which giant robots is not the theme.

Anyway, blah blah blah, giant robots ))<>((, back and forth forever. But in his latest volley in the feud, McG has taken things to an incredible new level. It’s basically the douchebag “nuclear option.” I’m talking, of course, about the dick measuring contest.

“Michael Bay has a big cock,” McG says to Details Magazine . “But I’d like to believe mine is bigger.” McG smiles. “If he’s up for it, we can both reveal ourselves on the Spartacus steps at Universal and put the question to rest.”

Hey, are you going to finish that?

Can I have some?

I challenge McG to a noose measuring contest!

Unbelievable. I know it was just a toss off quote in a Gentlemen’s Magazine said to get a well-timed rise out of people (Terminator: Salvation, in theaters May 21). I think we all know how media-baiting works. But also Jesus Christ. McG is really a horrible dude.

I hope he and Michael Bay manage to find a way to make peace. And by peace, of course, I mean silence. I hope they find a way to make silence. Shut up forever, dummies.

    • Hey man, if you mention something that Gabe or Lindsay does a lot, don’t say you don’t understand it or act like it’s novel. You’re expected to act at all times like you’ve been here forever. If not, you will be down-voted. I don’t know why we do this, but that’s the reality. I’m sorry.
      Also, I think what you’ve done there ^ is technically just a one-way poop onto someone else’s back. Which is totally gross. Ew.

  3. I thought Seth MacFarlane won The Worst Contest already?

  4. If it’s a “dick measuring contest,” as everyone is calling it, does that mean that the person who performs the most accurate measurement win?

  5. Anyone else miss Da Cake Eatur? I miss Da Cake Eatur.
    “LOL ur worst gab becuz mcG is best!! he made charles angles ful throtle with lots of hi intensit y acshun sceens and camron diaz was lik when its big lik dat I luv to ride it har d and ruff and den LoL shes hot!!”

    Other classic Giant Robot films

    Giant (Robots), starring Liz Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean
    Gia(nt Robots), starring Angelina Jolie
    I, Giant Robot
    Robotcop

    Sorry. I’ve got botsulism.

  7. I think that’s about right. What’s happening here is The Worsts are fighting to be The Worstest. Which is kinda like two supremacists arguing over who gets to be grand wizard. And at the end of the day, everyone goes home and watches Family Guy.

    Wait, another Regarding Henry reference?

    He hit the wrong bodega at the right time. No?

  9. Sean  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +11

    I was trying to find context for that quote because, surely…

    But nope. No, McG just led with “Michael Bay has a big cock.”

  10. blah  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +1

    Well that settles it then…I see a double dutch rudder showdown with dry cleaning bag asphyxiation to put this thing to bed.

  11. Aw man, I threw up all over my noose.

  12. Douchebag “nuclear option” phrase > McG

    McG, for christ’s sake. (pronounced sah-kay like the Japanese liquor I guess?)

  13. This is the type of contest where nobody wins, everybody looses, and a baby seal gets clubbed. :(

  14. The Naked Wizard should show up at the contest too.

  15. sorry  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 -2

    what does ))<>(( mean?

  16. No love for the greatest film of Billy Crystal’s career?

    Personally, I’m proud to own a copy of My Giant Robot

  17. Both of them need to re-evaluate the hair styles they’ve chosen to live with.

  18. J  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +4

    This is totally trumped up beef to help promote both of their shitty movies. Really, when have you ever heard someone in genuine conflict say of their enemy, “So and so has a big cock.”

  19. Who’d have thought those tags would ever be used together on a semi-SFW Videogum?

  20. I’m pretty sure McG has Limp Bizkit or Puddle of Mudd blasting out of his headphones in the first picture, because McG is a douchebag

    could a girl get any luckier?

    ))=(( back and forth forever reference, AND a regarding henry reference.

    that “worst movie of all time” contest is slowly taking over your life, Gabe.

    PS. i just thought i’d let you know that showgirls is free on comcast on demand movies until 5/31.

  22. Nerds who think they’ve outgrown their nerdiness via ridiculous haircuts and leather jackets are the best. I love you, nerds!

  23. That One  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +18

    The only way to settle this fairly is to ensure that both men are fully erect. I suggest a montage of epic explosions and talentless actresses doing faux-martial arts in cheap bullet-time.

    Another approach would be to get both contestants as flaccid as possible, in which case some three-dimensional character development and a logical, well-plotted narrative might suffice.

    Who cares about all this dick stuff? They both have big ones and we’re all just jealous, right? Right.
    HOWEVER, I want to see THIS movie, which is pulled from the quote:
    “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Superbowl” <== I can’t even begin to imagine what that movie would consist of (yes I can), but G-d damn, it would be incredible…

  25. Does Michael Bay think he created Transformers?

  26. Robots Robots Ted and Alice

  27. Zack  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +1

    Hmm, I’m gonna vote Michael Bay for Worst, only because Terminator actually looks cool and Transformers looks exactly like the last one.

    But yeah, they both suck.

  28. zach  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +1

    I’m not trying to defend McG, because his name alone makes him worse, but Michael Bay has the hugest ego on the planet, which makes him even more of the worser. AND Terminator: Salvation looks pretty cool, while Transformers is just awful.

  29. zach  |   Posted on Apr 29th, 2009 +3

    Michael Bay invented big fucking robots in movies. Didn’t you know that? The idea of big fucking robots in movies came from Michael Bay’s brain and his brain only. No one ever thought of it before until he signed on to direct an adaptation of a children tv show. Michael Bay thought of Transformers before the cartoon even existed. Duh.

  30. Where does Brett Ratner fit in to this debate. I do enjoy “Chuck” though, so McG has that going for him.

  31. Michael Bay does realize he’s taking creative credit for robots actually created by a toy company to sell action figures to prepubescent boys in the 1980s, right? That they aren’t really “your robots” if every kid under the age of 12 had one lying on the floor of their closet a decade before anyone knew who you were and the world was a better place?

  32. Be careful what you say about Michael Bay. He has a tiger.
    McG just has a shitty name.
