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!"
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...
I will never understand the religious mindset. "My uncle survived a plane crash that killed 47 people, praise the Lord"
The hidden detail is that the 47 people liked f*cking sheep.

I take it, Beverly probably prayed for her sister to die a horrible death? And the 8 people liking the post knew and disliked the dead sister? Everything else makes no sense...
Why are they always like this? Recently saw a post about a 3 year old that had died after fighting cancer for over 1 year and so many of the comments has bless god for he is good and god called her home etc etc. When someone asked wtf is wrong with them one responded look at what god did! He collected us all and brought us all together to bring awareness to cancer! I'd have slapped her in person.
Not my comment, it's from Reader's Digest a long time ago: Young woman at her young husband's wake. Relative walks up and says "God never gives us more than we can handle". Young woman replies "So you're saying if I were a weaker person my husband would still be alive?". Went through it a few years later. Never forgot that one.
"Let's perform a little miracle... -Will You save this woman's life, Lord? -No, I'm gonna save My book I have written and of which millions of copies can be found in almost every house in this country. Priorities."
Too many people worship Religion instead of God. If God actually showed up on Earth, they'd have Him arrested as a dangerous heretic. As a matter of fact, they did.
Save the bible, let the person die. This is why I'm an Athiest.
A miracle.. a female died but a made up book survived... OH MY GOD IS GOOD... LMAO
Yeah, but these crazies think dying is the greatest thing they can do. Then they get to chill with magical sky daddy all day.
These people prioritize inanimate objects over people all the time: Bible's, flags, songs, etc...
God thought more of his mostly fiction book than your sisters life.
Sad that you care more about the Bible’s survival than your sister in law’s
Oh, Beverly. If God was there, your SIL would’ve SURVIVED. But, alas, she did not….
I would have thought it was the devil. If everything else burnt and the sister died!
I don’t think Beverly liked her brother’s wife. Ion know I just have a gut feeling 🥴
At least it was her sisiter in law and not her sister-in-law. That would have been truly awful
Was… the fire anywhere near her bed? Or is this just two random things stated?
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.
