Certainly the most embarrassing. As for "worst" there are apparently a lot of contenders.

My dad is fond of slagging on the ASCI Q for the simple reason that apparently it ran roughly 70% uptime due to its minions constantly checking to see which of its 4096 processors had been knocked out by cosmic rays at any given time. As such, it never actually ran at full capacity because the universe was too busy shotgunning it with radiation.
