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!"
Both my parents agree that if either him or his wife wanted either one of them, they both agreed to follow suit- my dad's hoping for Ryan :)

As a Canadian I'm proud that Ryan Reynolds, Jim Carrey, Ryan Gosling and Keanu Reeves represent us well
Well we kinda gotta apologize for Beiber, don't we?

Good country music was lost in the United States over 20 years ago.
Please don't downvote me......but pineapple pizza gets too much hate. It's not as horrid as I thought. It's like oatmeal raisin cookies.
You said it's not horrid and then said it's like oatmeal raisin cookies? Make up your mind!

Depends on the era of country music your talking about. Modern country is rock/pop music with a pedal guitar and vocals with a twang.
C&W - Cryin' & Whinin'. I prefer the Blues. Same topics but instead of wallowing in pity the blues say "F**k it, I'm having a scotch"
Blues is great in that so many emotions can be encapsulated, often without spoken words at all. I enjoy this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-HdorsEP3A

See the one above about making people feel bad for being enthusiastic about something they like.
We have different taste in music or anything, so why people should criticized it?
After 5+yrs married to an Alabaman, country music makes me want slit my wrists and pray for the end. The 5000th time hearing Jason Aldean makes you want to end the universe. Keep the country music, and do us all a favor and pretend line dancing was never invented.
He could've replied with, "Makes me wanna get drunk, drive my pickup truck over my ex-wife, then go home and sit in front of my tv in my boxers, picking my nose while watching WWE.".
What's wrong with pineapple on a pizza?? with Canadian bacon!!! You're weird bye
Actual country lyric: I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison…doesn’t make me want to dance.
I love pineapple on pizza and I HATE country music. I hate country music more than I love pineapple on pizza though
I suppose. But rap music wants to make you shoot a cop, rape a girl, and scream racial slurs, so there is that.
I've never seen the appeal of Ryan Reynolds, but I just changed my mind.
The children are immunized sir!!! Let’s go Packers and Let’s Go BRANDON!!!
DAMN. MY MAN. Dudes I cant Express how awesome Ryan Reynolds is. Honestly.
Y'all are all missing out on actual country, not the poor white hood trash pop they play nowadays. Good country is nothing like y'all hear on the radio, because they don't play it anymore. Real country DOES make you want to dance in the headlights and fall in love for real. It helped me figure out what I actually wanted to do with my life.
A bit confused here, but I grew up in a family of geetar pickers (many of the country variety), I love pepperoni and pineapple pizza, We are all vaxed as are all who enter our house, (Sons still live there) Live in the country, married 40 years, no divorce, our house is in a valley and I don't want to climb a cliff, bad back and all, Am I one of the weird ones?
I know I'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but I actually like modern country music.
Pineapple on Pizza should not be this divisive. It's not like liver and onions.
Still not as good as James Blunt. People seem to forget he worked army intelligence in Kosovo among other places. He should fund his own burns ward on Twitter
Morgan Wallen apologized for using the N word, and you're calling him a bitch. You call them sensitive bitches, I call you a racist bitch. Freedom of speech, see how that works?

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...
