Best Off (stylized as bestoff., subtitled "Retrospective Works 86/02") is a compilation album by TISM, released 29th July 2002 by genre b.goode and Festival Mushroom Records. It contains tracks taken from the single "Defecate on My Face" and the albums Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance, Hot Dogma, The Beasts of Suburban, Machiavelli and the Four Seasons, Machines Against the Rage, www.tism.wanker.com and De Rigueurmortis, as well as two new tracks, "Sid Viscous" and "The Phillip Ruddock Blues", and a remix of "Defecate on My Face" by Machine Gun Fellatio. 
Best Off had two simultaneous print runs: a standard single disc edition, and a limited edition with a bonus disc titled A Collection of Bedroom Recordings 1982-1992, containing twenty-five remastered songs excerpted from the band's legendary "bedroom tapes". Most notable among the selected demos are early versions of "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Whittle Away My Furniture", "Play Mistral for Me" (here named "You're Only as Good as Your Fans"), "Eckermann is Very Silly", "I Go to Werribee", "The Judeo-Christian Ethic", "The Back Upon Which Jezza Jumped" and "A Tale of Two Faeces", as well as full versions of "The Ballad of the Semitic Nazi" and "Doug Parkinson Sings Christie Allen".
