Craptacular, 'cept the other is more commonly used. Craptacular makes me thing of a myopic crab.

That's what I thought, thanks. Feeling ... curiously uncertain, among other things, tonight.

I worry why you're asking. In my ideal world, you wouldn't need to find superlatives for crappiness (and, to be perfectly honest about it, neither would I). *grin*

I have to go with "craptacular," myself. "Craptastic" is just kind of tacky. It's crap-o-matic!

I generally use 'craptacular' and 'asstastic' when I'm describing sucktacular systems that have a lot of craptitude. I think ops room shift logs benefit from an honest assesment of staff on the ground, not just when documenting how systems that are complete turd sandwiches have just utterly shit themselves, but even when otherwise well-behaving systems still emit the occasional crapticle, i.e: "24JAN06 0930Z: DNG OPS Polycenter Console Manager local instance has gone all pear-shaped and fuckity. Restarted and logged."

I definitely used "crapkerdoodles" today.

What about "crapperific"?
