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!
There's a reason the name starts with: " con ".

He got jumped by a creepy stalker twice his size and decided to defend himself. Self-defense while black is the crime.

Tory brown was an unarmed man who was shot because he did nothing more than “quickly advance towards” police. Ryan LeRoux, a 21-year-old Black man, was killed by the police with 24 shots and no clear reason what justified the police to use deadly force. Kurt Reinhold was shot to death after police approached him, accusing him of jaywalking. So police will even kill you for jaywalking.
You might want to avoid eating ice cream in your own apartment, it proved fatal for Botham Jean
Pity no one explained that to all the jackasses that invaded the Capitol and are now crying about going to prison.
She was sleeping while black. That's a war crime. obvious-sa...a1-png.jpg 
You're American police are way too trigger happy. A lot of innocent people would be still here if they weren't shot for being swatted over video games, or false accusations, mistaken identity, etc.
NOT TRUE!!!! I have been harassed by police without me doing ANYTHING illegal. They were friends of my EX!
Elijah McClain was walking home from the store, with a bag, and a receipt. The officers at Aurora PD have been charged with homicide, the APD and AFD are now subject to public review board for any and every complaint, and every time a gun is fired the officer will be on Admin leave until they are cleared, whether or not anyone is injured, and the AFD is no longer permitted to use Ketamine in the field. My friend, who was friends with Elijah and his family, is glad for that, glad for the $15M payout from the APD to the family, but you just cannot replace a lost life - and one lost so senselessly is just not understandable at all.
Police did a drug raid, threw a flash bang into a bedroom and it landed in a baby's crib. The suspect was staying at the home temporarily and wasn't even there...
Breonna Taylor may have been sleeping, but that was the day before. That night, she was wide awake. #fact
Defending his property from, as far as he knew since the pigs didn't identify themselves, home invaders. But I guess only white boys have that right, huh Joey? Racist piece of s**t.

The police invaded the wrong apartment (without knocking or announcing themselves) looking for a guy that didn't and never lived there. The boyfriend thought they were being robbed, so he had more of a right to self-defense than the police in that situation.

She'd be alive today if the cops properly announced themselves, weren't in plain clothes, and weren't trigger happy. Kenneth Walker thought a home invasion was happening. He fired 1 shot. The cops fired 32 shots.

Um, no? Her ex was a dealer, she'd been seen with him at some point in public so the police were wondering if he'd given her anything to store. They went to her new bf's house in plain clothes and shot the place up. Theory is they refused to say they were police so the bf (not a dealer/supplier) shot first. Because in America that's what household guns are for.

They were after her ex boyfriend, who didn't live there, the police just didn't bother to check if they had up to date information.

Wrong. She was not asleep in bed, true, but she was unarmed. She was asleep just before the police entered, then she and her boyfriend got up, and her boyfriend fired at an officer - who were in plain clothes. There is debate on whether they announced themselves before entering. There were 32 rounds fired by three police officers, and one police officer had been disciplined previously for reckless behavior.

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.
