'Cursed Comments' is one of those niche subreddits that have become an integral part of internet culture. Even though the community is relatively young even by online standards, it has already attracted over 3 million members and has been featured in various media outlets. (Bored Panda has also covered it here, here, and here.)
It's difficult to pinpoint what a cursed comment actually is. There are just too many forms it can appear in. According to the subreddit's 'About' section, however, the best way of defining it is probably a statement that gets you to think along the lines of "What the f$k did I just read?" and leaves you speechless while also somehow makes sense.
But the best part is that the incomprehension of the comment you just read (or the blatant gruesomeness of it) is also enough to draw a smile on your face.
Pewdiepie said 'Cursed Comments' is the worst subreddit. But is it really? Can it simultaneously be the best one too? In a couple of days, on April 10th, the community will celebrate its 4th birthday, so we decided it's the perfect time to revisit it and show you some of its recent top posts.

"You see what happened to Appendix? I'm not pissing this guy off"
We managed to get in touch with the moderators of 'Cursed Comments' and one of them agreed to tell us more about the inner workings of their subreddit.
"I think people like it because all throughout the internet, you run across some odd images or videos, and this content may provoke thoughts that you wouldn’t dare say—but someone else did say it," the mod told Bored Panda.
"It's one giant vault of the internet's best (worst?) cursed comments."

The person looking after the sub said the community is "a group of people who find amusement in seeing the wild and unspoken comments out in the vast depths of the internet that would probably go unnoticed and ignored" if it didn't exist.
They're the heroes we didn't know we need. Many of the gems you see in this list have gotten only a handful of likes on the platforms they were originally posted on and most likely would have perished if it wasn't for these folks.
"They aren't always the most sensible comments, but they are interesting nonetheless."

And where are they writing from?? Worst first day on the job... St. Peter is doing jury duty, God is busy, and everyone else is at a retreat watching slide shows about the new halos and harps and s**t.
I'm sure Joel Osteen can do so for $1,000 per feather. Just stop buying food and insulin, and your loved will be flapping like a rabid goose in no time at all.
Thankfully real birds can't get rabies(just a mammalian thing); cobra chickens are scary enough!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that if you couldn't handle a stapler, then a nail gun *probably* isn't a good idea?
Load More Replies...Its funny but i dislike things that are insensitive like this. There's a line between burning people and being savage, and being the kind of troll that says these things to people who are grieving. Ive seen people on BP get all righteous when people joke like this over other peoples pain, so im kinda surprised so many people think its ok. If he wasnt responding directly to the person asking i would be ok with it, but this is just kicking someone while theyre down for no reason. Its funny but its not worth it.
He's not wrong though, make sure you staple them to the shoulderblade, staples don't stick well to just skin. That, or needle and thread if the wings are a must.
find a picture of wings, cut them out, and put them there stoopid /hj
They sew your arsehole shut and a bunch of things when you die, how's a few Staples in your back anyworse
Just laughed while proctoring exam. Do NOT wish to explain what is so funny.
Passed what? The bar exam, the junior pilot program? Super glue won't allow for flapping. Epoxy takes too long to cure. 3M repositional strip would be a better way. No muss no fuss and you can remove with no dams if the person screws up or gets the wrong pair.

"Over the course of our history as a subreddit, we grew naturally for a long time and became a rather large community [on our own, but] then PewDiePie made his first video [about us], and we exploded in popularity," the mod recalled.
"It's been an amazing journey watching and helping grow a community like this, and having one of the largest YouTubers in the world make videos on it is pretty incredible."

But more members also mean more problems. "It's become more difficult to moderate a sub of such scale, and we deal with a lot of mod harassment/abuse, people who want to disrupt the flow of things and make our lives harder."
"Often, the people who decide to verbally abuse us are just angry because we removed their post/comment or banned them," the mod explained.

"We once even had a user who manually DMed every single moderator of our team individually with a message purely consisting of the n-word and no more."
The moderator said that every Reddit community has at least a few bad apples, but "due to the nature of our subreddit, it tends to be worse than some others."

For better or worse, the internet has become the last place where you can make such comments as few risk saying these things to people in public.
Even before the infamous incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars, the most dangerous thing that a comedian has to face today is offending political correctness.

Last year, Jennifer Saunders' take on the matter made headlines in the likes of Mail Online (“Jennifer Saunders says Absolutely Fabulous wouldn't be commissioned today in Britain's 'woke' culture").
The closest Saunders had come to saying that was the vague assertion that people "talk themselves out of stuff now because everything is sensitive."
But in the past, she was more direct. "People are so politically correct now," she said in 2017. "You can’t even get away [with playing] a politically incorrect character, because that is seen as being politically incorrect."
"Everyone's down on everyone for everything."

Comedy gives us a break from everyday challenges. So if cursed comments help you to escape existential dread, who cares if you're laughing at them or not?
They're just someone's random thoughts that escaped through their fingers into the ocean of the internet without any harmful intentions. (At least I hope so.)

For those too young (or innocent) to understand: DO NOT GOOGLE THAT FOR YOUR OWN SANITY! Trust me on that! EDIT for those who stumble upon this and don´t know what it is about: Two girls, making out, looks hot, then they share a poop-cup. No, literally, excrement in a cup.

And this is why I am here - for the comments. This one was a particularly rich seam of comedic gold. Thank you fellow Pandas
Came for the post, stayed for everyone's comments. This is why I love BP, everyone here is awesome! I needed an ambulance at least 3 times though.
This is why I absolutely love Reddit: everyone lets their personality shine, will crack a world-class joke, offer supportive advice, and give you something to think about.
Bruh was re reading cause dark humor is fun and the cut over half the stuff here
Not dark humor. I hate to see what junk was on here. I looked at 3 o4 and quit. Yes, I'm old and biased against bad language & bad stories. Sue me!!
