'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."

"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.

Load More Replies...I have to admit it kinda looks like it to. The mass of nails was in just the right spot to give that appearance.
Load More Replies...By contrast, Wolverine would be totally fine in this situation. Adamantium is nonferrous 😉
Load More Replies...Meanwhile no one asking why the f**k and how the f**k he got into this predicament in the first place
I'm putting LOL, because I actually LOL'd. Forgot to take off a ring once during an MRI. Thought it was going to burn my finger off. They had to stop the scan.
Bad form for the tech letting it get that far, and I'm saying that as a radiology tech.
Load More Replies...Ummm. I need back story. I will be googling this when I'm done scrolling!! Wow!!
He was the world's most famous magnet-man! But now I see the cheats behind the success.
Like, I'm just wondering what the process was to get 600 nails inside someone's abdomen without them noticing
The doctors actually did use a magnet to remove the nails (some 2" long) AFTER they opened him up. The man has a long mental health history.
I don't know the actual case but the information is out there with the full history. I would guess that this is severe mental health issues, probably something like Pika, which causes the sufferer to compulsively eat non-edible items. The fact that it was iron nails could point to anemia or some other iron deficiency. People have been known to eat dirt in such instances to restore iron levels because soil contains high levels of iron. That would be my best guess.
Load More Replies...My BFF and her son both have pacemakers. Even though it is on their medical records I still have to make sure they don't do MRI's. It would be a bloody mess, as well as killing them.
There's a long clearance form people have to fill out before they even think about getting in an MRI, and in the case where the patient can't fill it out and no one can get gotten ahold of for information, x-ray techs such as myself come in and do x-rays to look for metal.

Now I need to see some dr. House or Scrubs or Bones episode about this!
he ate the nails..why did god create people this stupid
He was only taking an iron supplement. Yeah, I know. Are nails iron anymore? Regards from carpenter minus 3 digits.
I want to know why the screws are there to begin with. Did ya not have anything better to eat?
sir next time lets just stick to foods with vitamin c in them
none of the nails he swallowed pierced his stomach. “We partially cut his stomach and used a magnet to bring out the nails one by one. There were more than 600 nails inside,” Dr. Siddhartha Biswas told Caters News. While Dhali’s family knew about his habit of eating inanimate objects, they never imagined he was capable of eating so many nails. “The family was asked by Pradip’s psychiatrist to not disturb him so they did not bother much what he was binging on,” Biswas said.

Oooh shhh..t, I had to think about this one a while...and then it hit me!!! Daaayummm
Who ends up with this inside of their abdomen. Swallow them hole. I would be so embarrassed at needing the Heimlich maneuver if one got caught in my Sunday Throat. Although if pointed in the right direction it may be useful to have a nail spying battery free walking human pitting out nails.
But did he have them with milk? https://youtube.com/shorts/2JfJQkHKTX8?feature=share
Good thing they always do the CT first! MRI machines are expensive... I mean... ewww

"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.)
