In a world where people seem to want their every thought to be heard by loads of people online, comment sections can be overwhelming. About 40% of people who engage with news on social media say they avoid reading or commenting because comment sections tend to be too argumentative.  Everyone brings their own opinion, worldview, and things to say, so true gems can get lost in the noise.

But sometimes, comments are so good that their authors deserve an award for their wittiness, thoughtfulness, and, sometimes, much-needed brevity. Here are some examples of the best comments on Reddit, collected from the aptly named subreddit “Best Of,” dedicated to the best replies people have come across on the platform.
