Good comments on the internet are like excellent supporting actors. Sometimes they can make such a difference, they'll steal the show. You may have clicked on a YouTube video by theneedledrop, but you're giving a like to one of his subscribers joking about the guy's bald head.
So it comes as no surprise that there's an entire Instagram account dedicated to this art. Called Comment Awards, it shares the most creative and funniest observations people have made online. Continue scrolling to check out its top posts! And, of course, don't forget to comment on them.

Also sweet that saving someone's life and therefore missing a job interview (which was probably hard to get in the first place because of his background) and have that called SKIPPING. Eff you very much, CBS
When folks at FiveThirtyEight asked 8,500 internet commenters why do they do what they do, the answers, people gave a wide range of answers.
"Our respondents' reasons for commenting mirror the results of a recent survey of 600 news commenters by Talia Jomini Stroud and her colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin's Engaging News Project," Christie Aschwanden wrote in FiveThirtyEight. "In their survey, the top three reasons that people gave for commenting were 'to express an emotion or opinion,' 'to add information' or 'to correct inaccuracies or misinformation.'"
Certain stories, however, generate a disproportionate number of comments, and after years of being on the receiving end of comments, Aschwanden has formed a theory: the subjects most likely to elicit impassioned responses are those that feel personal to the reader (a real-life experience with the subject has made them feel like an expert) and those that hit on identity in some way.
"[My insight is] based on something a newspaper reporter in Boulder told me many years ago," Aschwanden explained. "Back then, readers were still mailing letters to the editor, and they had a seemingly endless appetite to debate two things: who was at fault in conflicts between cars and bikes and whether dogs should be allowed to run unleashed on city trails."
To test this theory, Aschwanden asked the people who took the survey about the circumstances that made them most likely to comment.
"The answers lent at least some support to the bikes-and-dogs theory. But respondents’ reasons were more complex than my one, unified theory; commenters were also driven by a desire to provide their own information or to argue against an idea they disagreed with."
At the end of the day, commenters want the same thing as us publishers — to be heard. So if they have something to say, we're glad they can do so on our platform.
lol epic lol the point came across strong lokl, cant give my kid a chocolate with toy inside but i can buy a gun no worries
But kinder eggs are too dangerous! Imagine if a child swallowed up the toy! On the other hand, you can't choke on a gun.
A law dating back to 1932 outlawed edible confections that contain non-nutritive items. Kinder Surprise Eggs were never allowed to be sold in the US because of this law.

Also if you poke a hole in the bottom of one of those lil toy case things from the kinder egg, they work great for when your kid eats half a lollipop and wants to "save the rest for later" xD
The Oompa Loompas failed disastrously trying to fight off the British Empire armed merely with chocolate-covered toys.
Which sucks, because growing up in the US, I always felt I was missing out on something by not being allowed to get a Kinder.
I really don’t think you can store false eyelashes in a semi-automatic rifle.
I couldnt believe it when I heard the US banned kinder eggs. How stupid do you think your kids are?
yeah! couldn't they just put a choking hazard warning on them like with most other things like that?

It’s legal in Canada? I don’t get it but they sell guns at their Walmart ..
Wow! Kinder eggs are illegal in the US, but you can buy a semi-automatic rifle in the supermarket there - !!!
We have them now, they're just different. The toy is in a separate container from the chocolate, and is usually some dumb promotion for the newest dumb movie
Kinder eggs are not illegal in the US, just the ones that they sell in Europe. There are US versions that do not contain the choking hazards that the ones in Europe have.
Kinder Eggs are legal in the US now that the 'chocking hazard' toy has been changed.
Its not usual that small children choke on semi auto rifles. Grow up.
Imagine living without Kinder Eggs! I'm 34 and still buy then for myself!
On the plus side, since a semi automatic rifle is a sporting implement, it does not require a permit. America - Semi auto rifle loving since 1917. /S
Why are Kinder eggs illegal? I hope it's just a joke, but I'm afraid it isn't. Really? If it's true, it's ridiculous!
It’s no joke. But we have Kinder Joy which has chocolate in one half of the shell (think deviled eggs) and a toy in the other half. They are both sealed so that the chocolate and toy can never fraternize

This makes no sense to me that they are illegal in the US. Hear me out on this one - I received a package lat year from friends in Germany with the Kinder eggs; boarder patrol smashed them, thew away the chocolate bit left me the toys (presumably after they opened it). Nonsensical that we have thousands of choking hazards all around us- its about transportation of drugs. Also, they are labeled !
Haha, so funny and so sad. Spot on. When I was a little kid there was this legend circling around that a kid at school opened one of these and it was full of bugs. I just thought "cool" and never stopped eating them unlike many others even though I also believed it. I think about that regularly 🤣
I believe the ones in the US are different and called kinder joys instead of kinder surprise.

Or just don't glue stuff to your face. So what is the routine anyway: first paint your face then draw on it then glue stuff to it?
Americans thinking everything is about them. jk jk .. I get it tho. Haha
This is the essence of Tragi-Comic. The ancient Greeks invented it, but it seems that the U.S. perfected it.
I've seen Kinder Joy, which are slightly different - it looks like an egg but one half is the candy and one half is the toy. Original Kinder surprises have these capsules inside that pose a potential choking hazard.

I prefer to have the right not to get shot by some nutjob, to be honest.

Alright I'll play. In 2019, there were 5,228 people in the US who died from choking. That same year, 14,861 were killed by a gun. Now granted, not all of those deaths involved an AR-15, but I'm really hoping you're smart enough to see that gun violence is still an issue.

Nah. I'm American, and I agree with all of this. Ridiculous and pathetically sad.

Publisher's AGM: "Now let's not forget everybody, those academic texts all need minuscule revisions before the start of the university year, so that we can brand them as a new edition. We don't want to loose out on any sales at $300 per copy to other students selling the copies the no longer use!"
Sometimes I wondered if it was indeed improv and not scripted coz they did so well on the fly. Especially Ryan.
PoOr conservatives. They sure aren't wanting to comply these days!
My aunt caught covid from the pastor at a small church meeting. Less than two months later, she, her husband and her youngest daughter were dead. And people don't understand why I don't go anywhere.
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, uhhhhhhhh...me.
Kid (about 14yr old) said to me after first lock down 'in the future, there will be no snow days, only work from home days'. I had a little cry
Nah,glasses can be sexy AF...edited to fix stupid autocorrect...
