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.
That's why I buy organic meat straight from a farm. The highlander cows and mangaliza pigs can roam free, and the difference in taste is unbelievable.

Load More Replies...I'm fine if you're vegan or vegetarian. My cousins are vegan, and whenever they come over for Christmas we have meat and vegan recipes. Do they complain? No. Do they get mad and yell at us? No. I'm fine if you're vegan or vegetarian but please dont be aggressive about it. And don't make your clearly carnivorous pets vegan. You're trying to stop abuse but really encouraging abuse by giving your carnivore pet vegan food
Tbh, I eat meat but I'm sadden by some of the conditions our livestock and poultry live in.
I would be happy to take over head scratching duties. In my experience, horses and cows really enjoy a good scratch.
Apparently I'm a #flexitarian, didn't know it was a thing. Lol (I sometimes eat meat, but only biological/special occasion... Mostly I eat vegetarian.) Kind of cool fact: apparently most Dutch ( 65% nationwide!) are now a flexitarian.
For me thisnis the most reasonable way. You cut meat consumptoon, pollution and the number of animals (so they can have a better wellfare) but you can still have the diet that we evolve to have. Our species is omnivorous and i cant stand people who pretend otherwise. (Normal vegetarians/vegans are completely fine of course)

People say that you should not eat animals but some proteins, vitamins, etc cannot be found in plants
… butter-braised in a HOT skillet w/mushrooms & fried onions... and a side of asparagus!
I have to ask is it about killing, torturing (cruelty)or both ? I ask because i watched a very interesting discussion by vegans vs hunters and they seemed to be agreeing

Load More Replies...Well, first you have to kill it (Humanely) or wait for it to die naturally, Then you have to skin it and dress it (ie remove the inedible parts) and butcher it. Then any decent recipe book will give you what to do with the meat .
If god didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of meat.
I usually use knife and fork, but if I have a nice hot bowl of beef soup I tend to use spoons,, because it gets messy really quick eating that soup with knife and fork. 👌🏻
If we aren't supposed to eat animals or wear their skin, then why are they made completely out of resources?
This is exactly why I became a cannibal. If you don't want me to eat you, then why are you made out of meat?
Load More Replies...The commenter needs to visit a slaughter house. I doubt they'll be feeling too clever after that.
I can eat them very easily. I’d rather not starve. Or, eat yucky plant-based “meat”
Replace that with a picture of humans and you are looking for recipes.
I am a GMO vegetarian; I like my grasses and grains genetically modified into protein.
Almost cows are as intelligent as dogs actually. People just try to disassociate with them because then they would feel bad for eating them

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...
