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.
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!"
OUCH! Scotty is right, that bloody racket is not what we want when at the beach.
Or in the park, or in a campground, or walking down the street, or living next door to you...

And let's watch movies in restaurants and always have phone convos on speaker. And bonus points if you hold your phone like a piece of toast when doing so.
simple solution: throw the f*****g speaker in the water and enjoy the show as the douche it belongs to tries to save it.
Was sunbathing in the park the other day and somebody had speakers on. Playlist: Manowar, Guns n Roses and NICKELBACK!!!! I like the first two but the last was TORTURE!!! 🤢🤮
I love the screaming conversations at the grocery store... obviously on speaker, because, of course, right? Woman holding the door to the freezer case open while listing every. single. thing. inside. while a line formed behind her. Maybe just spare the rest of us, and make the person accompany you to the store?
The same goes for people, who play their car stereos at full force, rattling others' cars, and assaulting those of us, who choose either to not have music playing, or to listen to our own type of music. Sure, while insulating myself from most outside noise, the first thing that I want to do is to listen to your "music." Grrrrrrrr
Not saying this doesn't happen. But I've never been able to hear someone else's speaker unless I'm laying right next to the speaker. The wind and waves drown out everything. I have a hard time hearing anything on the beach except the wind and waves because it is so much louder and constantly blowing in my ears.
Ngl, I'd probably run over, and "trip" thus punting the speaker into the sea. >.>
Yeah, get some bloody headphones and stop thinking everyone wants to listen to that crap.
No chips, I live on a river and there is a beach across the way. Nothing I like more on a Sunday afternoon than listening to commercial country radio blasting for hours. NOT. I finally put an end to it by running my irrigation pump. You don’t play your radio , I don’t run my irrigation pump. Now its just happy sounds of summer.
People have always had tunes at the beach. Its not hard to predict the next gen of cranky bastard.
This is literally every day at work for me! If I have to raise my voice to talk to the person next to me, you lose your Bluetooth privileges
I'm sorry, I didn't know that this was your own private beach. I'll remember to ask everyone on a half mile of beach before I listen to some quiet tunes. Can I go to your church this Sunday?
QUIET tunes are fine. But you never notice the quiet tunes, if they even occur. We’re talking about those who pollute the air with their noise

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...
