The one where every dies except me? (but then I lose my glasses and accidentally step on them... It's not fair! it's not fair!)
What sort of "best" are we talking about? Best as in the most pleasant armageddon, or best as in the most hardcore Ragnarok?
Quick and painless, or something spectactualy awesome.
Like in 2012 how The guy gets hit by the Meteor out of the super volcano
Yeah, that would be cool.

Hasn't this thread been done before? Like ALOT?
The apocalypse that involves explosions, and lots of them.

There's a Woody Allen movie, "Everything you always wanted to know about sex but afraid to ask," in which a giant, disembodied breast the size of a house is loose in the country-side killing folks. There's a clip of it on youtube. Best apocalypse ever would be lots of those.
Simple, the Singularity [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity]. Rapture for nerds.
Please note, I don't actually believe that the Singularity is actually going to happen.

In Chuck Pahlnuik's book Haunted, one of the last stories is about a real and literal Heaven discovered on Venus. Everything is perfect there, like an modern Eden. But the only way to get there is to die, as the spaceship that was sent there crash-landed, and the dead crew used the transmission equipment to communicate with earth. Every dead person on earth is there, even those who shouldn't be. The rub is that it gets better the more people are there, so it was Hell in prehistory. So the population of earth decides "why wait?" and begin suicide en masse. The astronauts say say it will only be perfect once everyone is there, and new people make things worse, so world governments begin forcibly killing those who won't go. Then only the death squads are left to kill themselves. One family is suffocating itself in the family minivan in the garage, but a little girl falls out because her door opens. She wanders the earth alone, until she notices the TVs are still on...and the transmissions are repeating. Then the transmissions change...to a shot from the outside of the crashed shuttle, showing Venus as the dead volcanic landscape it is. The transmissions were a lie.

Aliens come to genocide all creatures on earth because the reality tv show that they had made, filming earth in secret, had lost most of it's ratings, and they save only those who are either useful or perplexing.

The whole world bursts into flames (literally), annihilating everything.

Terrorists start a war between china and the USA that goes nuclear and them they hack into every radio station on earth and play the climax of the 1812 as the nukes are coming down. Sure you'd vaporised, but you'd be laughing your ass off when you were.
