I hate to be picky here, but "abysmal" is correct. When we use it to mean terrible, it's actually a metaphorical reference to as low as you can go, in an abyss. May not be used much these days for its real meaning, but it does still mean a reference to an abyss.
For me, Underdog takes it by a whisker.
