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!"

This sounds fun! I mean that since the museum is now open at night, those 'white racists' can get trapped in....their newest exhibition about Rosa Parks and the blacks history?? Great, i basically planned the entire thing in my mind ( hey, who thinks that the main character should he Larry's son's friends? Someone give me their opinion on this ) Also, night in the museum is basically half my childhood ( you know, other than frozen, mickey, sofia the first and all ) aaannnnnndddd who else here is a fan?

But how do the racist whites get inside a Black History museum? It's not like visiting would be their idea of fun...
Maybe they were planning to vandalise the place?

OMG this would be amazing! The kind of revenge fantasy that Tarantino tried (and failed, IMO) to pull off with Django Unchained.
Umm that movie is generally very well received and grossed almost a half a billion dollars...

I want to see the racist whites have to run for their lives as if they're escaped slaves, maybe get whipped, and definitely get hosed during the Civil rights exhibit....and see them learn something. oh, and maybe get terrorized by the police
And then they stumble into the Scramble For Africa area.

I was going to say I laughed way too much at this, but on reflection I think I laughed exactly the right amount
This would be an epic movie, and I would love to see it happen. Yeah, you occasionally get to see the racist p**ck bite the dust in films, but a whole movie where they have to answer for their crimes against people strictly based on their color? I think that would be a giant blockbuster, and would pay to se it happen.
Horror? That would be hilarious and I hope they learn a valuable lesson. Or get killed off in varying degrees of "serves them right".
They already have this. It's called Tales from the Hood. Can't remember which one, but a racist politician buys a historical plantation house and gets killed by the slaves who used to live there.
The lead-in as to why they were there in the first place seems a bit contrived, though.
The final man dies once confronted with the biggest catapult in South Africa, the Magonelson Mandela.
Still don't think it will trump the Nazi's on the Moon in Iron Sky, lol
and then they get trapped in a theater full of black folks to watch the movie
Yes, U.S. slavery and segregation are racist. Racism involves power. A FICTIONAL horror film that flips that narrative against racist white folks isn't racist.

Um, because this is a fictional movie. It's not real. As Kimberly Jones said, "[White people] are lucky that what Black people are looking for is equality and not revenge." https://youtu.be/sb9_qGOa9Go

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...
Watching a lot of these politicians over the last four years, I want my money back.
elon musk is an asshole at his wedding he literarily said "im the alpha in this relationship" he's a twat
I am so glad that I quit American pop culture when I was 16, in 1985. I don't know or care what any of this means.
Anyone else reminded of Alfred E. Neuman from the Mad magazine covers?
I am 52yo. I have never sorted clothes in my life. I just shove 'em in the washer. It does not matter.
They make guitar/bass, keyboards and drums as well. Got the whole band and cool transportation to boot.
Cant really say thats funny. Usually adore Ryan, but be careful what you wish for, even jokingly. Ask all the parents with children that disappeared how fun it is.
And the sluttiest girls from high school are now the most devout evangelicals judging everyone's lives.
I always feel so sorry for cop's spouses. But I guess they made that choice.
Kansas. I drove across Kansas once. If I lived there, I would paint all my windows black and never stop drinking.
15 years later when the house is worth $1.5 million: "Hey, we need to talk about that loan we gave you.... "
The year is 1989, it's Sunday morning and you are sprawled on some cushions on the floor in front of the TV, watching cartoons, an open cereal pack next to you. Tonight, you will go to McD, get a Happy Meal with a Transformers toy and because tomorrow is no school, you get to pick a movie at Blockbuster. Life is perfect.
