50 People That Deserve An ‘Award’ For Their Witty And Unhinged Online Comments (New Pics)
The comment section sometimes can be a beautiful place. Sure, it can also be full of toxicity and vitriol, but it's where people make some of the funniest and most creative observations and clapbacks. Have you ever come across a comment so good you thought: "Well, this person certainly has a way with words." And maybe even deserves an award?
The creators of the Comment Awards Instagram account probably thought the same when they started collecting the most hilarious posts from the internet. We're nothing if not fans of skillfully crafted comments here at Bored Panda, so here are some posts from some truly funny people on the internet!

The heroes at the Comment Awards page sift through all the negativity online to find the gold nuggets that they can share with their 524k followers. They're really doing God's work, considering that it can be pretty hard to find some positivity. 64% of Americans, for example, believe that social media is to blame for how badly things are going in the world today.
Receiving negative comments about something you posted can be upsetting. However, most people seem to be pretty resilient to that, as only 20% of Americans have said that a negative comment has ruined their day. Interestingly, more than half also said they don't care if they receive likes or not either.
We might think that a comment section resembles a town square where people can voice their opinions and be heard. In a sense, it is a town square, but one where people feel there are no repercussions to bad behavior and it soon turns to anarchy. One study found incivility in 25% of comment sections under news and blog posts.
Behavioral psychologist Jo Hemmings explained to Hello! Magazine that the rules of normal social engagement go out the window online. "[People] lose a sense of responsibility and self-awareness – a process known as deindividuation – and their anonymity means that they have no need to regulate their behavior online. It's similar to the way people might behave in a jeering crowd or as a football hooligan."

Remember, it's a trading card if you can give it for money, so this mom here may lose a certain valuable trading card (with sixteen digits) soon.

I remember, while I was in college, my Mom burned my comic books. Including such things as X-Men #1 and the Fantastic Four Annual with Reed and Sue's wedding. But I still loved her...

Hell no! They live in that house too. They can pay for their own therapy, necessitated by their inability to fit into a world where you are not a prince, and you have to clean up after yourself !

In all seriousness .. yes take a valued item off them but put it in a drawer and when they do do the chore or whatever they have earned it back .. destroying anything of value to a child (not financial) is forever held there believe me I know !! I had a much loved expensive teddy from my dad .. I now realise that was poss a full days wage back then for him but my mother (divorced ) told me to come look when I got back from school .. and she had taken all the stuffing out to make her self some cushions and the "carcass" was in the bin !! I'm 56 and it still upsets me even more now Im an adult who would understand how my father felt

Hemmings further explained that attention motivates people who leave mean comments. Attention, even negative, fuels their self-worth and makes them feel important. Most often, these types of people feel underappreciated and unimportant in their real offline lives.
Psychotherapist Dr. Saima Muhammad Nawaz writes that people spreading negativity in comment sections are projecting their own insecurities. "By making negative comments, they may feel like they are deflecting attention away from their flaws," she claims.

For others, negative comments can be a way to release anger and frustration. "Social media can allow people to express their anger or frustration, even if directed towards someone else," Nawaz writes. Writing something mean about another person online also gives us a sense of control and power. People feel like they are the voice of reason and can judge what is good and what is bad – that they have influence.

OMG look at the ceiling in the upper left. It's totally a wearhouse store.
As the internet and social media are almost built on us comparing ourselves to each other, leaving mean comments about others gives some of us a sense of superiority. "Some people need to bring others down to make themselves feel better," Nawaz explains the reason behind this.

But wait! Comment sections aren't all that bad. They do have all the flaws we've discussed above, but they can also provide a platform for public discourse. Eun-Ju Lee, a professor in the Department of Communication at Seoul National University, argues that when people in the comments present reasonable arguments and are gracious about their opponents' perspectives, there's a chance for a more participatory news media.
"We cannot expect everyone to act rationally online, but comment sections can showcase competing viewpoints, arouse the public's interest in important issues and facilitate arguments around them," Lee claims. That's why she advocates against the closing of comment sections and for a decreased anonymity.

And then there's the bright side of the internet and comment sections: the funny content! Previously, we've spoken with comedic writer, actor and director Emma Tattenbaum-Fine about being funny on Twitter (X). She explained to us then that a good tweet is just like a good joke: it sets up an expectation and breaks it with a surprise.
#25
"A good tweet, in particular, is probably going to be something topical that is top of mind for everyone, that then finishes with a fresh take, giving the reader something clever they hadn't considered before that is infused with a clear point of view," Emma told Bored Panda back then.
#29
Since not all of the funny posts we're featuring here are comments per se, the good funny tweet rule probably applies in this case, too. So, Pandas, upvote your favorite posts, and don't forget to share your wittiest takes in the comments! Who knows, maybe you'll end up in this year's Bored Panda Best Comment Awards.

As a lower class white person, I concur. The pain is the only thing left that makes us feel alive.

We used to have to pay for texts too. Do you know how much bandwidth it takes to send a text? It is nothing. and they still charged actual money for it. You're super basic phone plan used to give you 50 texts a MONTH and charge you $1 for every one after that. You were also doing it on your locked phone that took three years to pay off. The cellphone industry in the early 2000s was insanely exploitative.

Funny thing about trees though, they tend to plant themselves. That's what the seeds are for. Forests naturally grow over time. WE cut them back.
