You're right, you won't find it in a dictionary.
It's incorrect to say bestest, of course, but redundant superlatives are sometimes used to invoke humor or to cause a person to think more about what is being said. And, this could have also just been a mistake.

Yes - I like Rusty's answer. It's definitely something used for humor. Even before I read his answer, I was laughing a bit to myself at your text in pink. By the way, there is also no such word as "worstest".
