DanielYT has compiled a half-dozen "Worst Chess Openings" and illustrated them with short YouTube videos.
The Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) - of course! - finds itself in the company of the Senechaud Countergambit, the Mosquito Gambit, the Matovinsky Gambit, the Orsini Gambit, and the Frederico Variation.
The Jerome line given is the "Silicon Defense" or "Annoying Defense", 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.f4 d6 8.fxe5 dxe5.
The Database has 342 games with this line, with White scoring 50% - which is really not that bad.
I wonder how well the other named openings score?
