The Evil Overlord List, also known as If I Were An Evil Overlord, is one of several popular lists of planned actions for a competent Evil Overlord to avoid the well-known, cliché blunders committed by supervillains in popular fictional works, typically explained in a comical fashion. The lists were compiled by science fiction fans over a number of years, and copies of the list that can be found on the Internet vary in number and order of entries.
Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or list:

she incites all to evil,
she flutters over all things,
like a bee in flight.”

“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
