Internet trolling has earned a pretty nasty reputation for spreading negativity across the web - but online personality Ken M is one of the exceptions. Known simply as 'Ken M' online, Kenneth McCarthy is a copywriter at Comedy Central, who has made a name for himself on the internet for his hilarious questions and funny comments on news outlet pages.
Characterized typically as various old men in his avatars, the writer has earned himself such a large fanbase that there is an entire subreddit /r/kenm dedicated to his offbeat sense of humor. In an interview with Reddit's Upvoted blog, McCarthy said his stupid joke comments were a response to lack of civility he noticed in the space, “I was appalled by the Yahoo comment section. It was such a toxic, shitty space.” Scroll down below to see some of the best comments from Ken M and don't forget to upvote your favs!

I honestly don't know whether Ken is joking or not? I mean, our brain DOES control our body..
Thirty-nine-year-old internet bad boy Kenneth McCarthy was born and bred in Florida but now lives in Brooklyn, New York. His comment career began in 2011 as a way to cope with his frustration with the internet, “I wasn’t that internet savvy. I didn’t even know what trolling was. I just started doing it. I thought, ‘I wonder how idiotic my stupid questions could be, but still be believable.’ It turned into this weird exercise," he said in his Reddit interview.
I'm sure he knew somebody was going to ask "how do you know it's dog's vomit?" when he posted the first comment. He reminds me of Patrick Jane, The Mentalist, saying nonsensical things to make people get angry, or confess, or just for fun.
"the vomit was white with black spots and a lady on our street owns a dalmation" .... well duh! lmao omg.
What began as an experimental hobby for his own entertainment eventually turned into a full on job at College Humor, where he was offered his own column to post as Ken M professionally. Unfortunately, after a year he decided to let the column go, “It became difficult to churn out content. The content started suffering. I started to imitate myself in a desperate way,” he told the blog.
How do you know god is a man? Could be a gay woman for all we know.
Load More Replies...God is gay and made Adam cuz he was lonely but Adam was straight so to satisfy the love of his life God created Eve but he did it out of Adam's rib to punish him because he was straight
I thought ken didn't believe in God? Not that I do but seems to be some hypocrisy here...
We are Human in flesh but its written "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24. God is invisible, its written in Colossians 1:15 about Jesus "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." We are flesh and blood and we think like flesh and blood.
Yeah, I totally dig the “creative” argument, but then again, he’s a pretty lousy dresser.
After his stint at College Humor he went back to commenting for fun, targeting online news outlet pages, Yahoo and Huffington Post being his favs, "Yahoo has the most beautifully gullible, funny people. The people on Huffington Post are humorless and pedantic. I tried it with Fox News, but that group is such a furious wasp nest.”
I don't understand why people give you negative votes for "laughing" emojis. I don't understand people. Period.
Load More Replies...Jesus... Ok, first babies can't have cow milk... Second, idgaf if you breastfeed or not, I did not and my BFF did, they are what they are and the other should not shame the latter. Thirdly, no infants don't sexualize their mothers - society may with the whole public boob thing but that's different. I'm all good as long as I don't see your nipples along with my seven year old. The only time that could PERHAPS happen is with a mother who refuses to stop. The stories of women who breastfeed up until after puberty or even when the kid is much more self sufficient (all food diet) I don't think is right. But who am I to say anything since I never breastfed or has that kind of thing with my kid? I tried with my youngest but, like drs said, it wouldn't work for me. To me it was saving money on formula. To other women it is saving a kid who will miss out on nutrition and bonding. I get it. But this has nothing to do with anything this dude said at all 😧
Hans "Spoiled that one with the last entry... Imagine a baby beneath a cow.. It is anatomically impossible for the cow to urinate on it." Why so many down votes for that last comment? Maybe Hans was getting into Ken's spirit lol
McCarthy said in his interview that he is aware of his fan base and finds it awesome and odd. "I do know about the sub. It’s so awesome. I’m not a Reddit user. I don’t understand the hardcore culture of Reddit. I always thought they were a lot meaner, like 4chan, but they are so nice to me," he told their blog, but added, "Fandom is a little weird,” he describes. “I was uncomfortable. I think most people are uncomfortable with earnest compliments. These kids think I’m famous. I wasn’t trying to be a big mystery.”
It's great to have a website like this to share information and keep us all connected. I'm so impressed with the layout of this blog. It's really easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. FG-200F-BDL-950-12
100's?? Lolol. And space may have been around longer than the beginning of our time. Who knows. I don't mean Earth's formation, I mean the universe as we know it. At least this dude gets us talking with his ridiculousness 🤣
The comments he makes are intentionally ridiculous, what part don't you get?
Load More Replies...Though he might be one of the most beloved trolls, McCarthy explained to Upvoted that he could care less about internet fame, "What I do is turn a toxic space into a source of belly laughter, so it’s not gross anymore. That’s what I do.”
If you look it up on IMDB Kit Duncan really was the assistant dolly grip for Jaws 3!
As a person who tries to convince people Jaws 3 is better than Jaws 2 just to start a weird argument, I love this! When I found out my husband had never seen Jaws 4 (the revenge) I told him it was THE BEST Jaws movie 😂 he still hasn’t forgiven me for making him sit through that!
This is how I like to respond to name-droppers. And "Do you know who I am?" people .
Saying that it doesn't rain on Mars because it is higher than clouds on Earth is like saying that London buses are not going to often in New York because it takes too long to ride there. And ignoring the fact that those are two completely different cites.
Load More Replies...Unfortunately, it's illegal to take photographs on Mars right now unless you're a robot.
Load More Replies...Children MUST eat dog or cat treats at least once. This seems to be a natural law.
right? what's even the point of being a child if you don't do that
Load More Replies...I sneaked a handful of "Good Boy" dog chocolate flavoured buttons aged 6 - spent 3 hours wondering if I was going to die.
I ate dog treats. Organic and homemade. My grandma saw nothing wrong with this until my mom had an absolute cow 🤣 won't kill the kids.
Donna: Snausages aren't dog threats, though my dog will threaten me if he doesn't get one!
It seems to be a solid truth that those who call others idiots are not the sharpest pencils in the box. Be kind Ken M.
they usually say "your an idiot" which is just ironic and equally hilarious
Load More Replies...that's the best explanation i've ever heard for the tradition of hunting eggs...now Ken, why is there a bunny?
I'm sitting at my desk crying with laughter....Someones gonna notice I'm not doing any work.
Susan, if you're actually typing emojis, formatting doesn't allow most to see them, it just looks like "???"....so, no emojis, we don't understand:) emoticons are better
Load More Replies...😄😄😄😄😄😄 the more other people "argue", the better the comments. They get weirder and weirder!!! 😄😄😄😄 How don't they realise he's pulling their leg?
"No Ken you need to stop smoking whatever your smoking there buddy." ROFL!!! 😂
WTF Ken are you for real you said you were 73 in space years did you learn nothing at all !!!!
my favorite XD (also I've tried this with potatoes, it's pretty good!)
Technically he's a genius because he's thinking up these things that are so stupid... Lord I hope he actually isn't this stupid
I wonder if the pompous guys commenting look back and suddenly cringe at how stupid he's made them look.
I like to bury small piles of coins in odd places as gifts for future treasure-hunters or archaeologists.
#17 is actually completely on target!!! There are specific areas of Troy that archaeologists won't touch because they recognize that archaeological practices will likely evolve and they don't want to treat artifacts and the site itself in a way that will eventually be considered destructive. They literally want to preserve those areas for future archaeologists. Just like we all cringe when we hear how Heinrich Schliemann excavated there using dynamite and then photographed his wife wearing jewelry from the site. It's practically barbaric when you consider it now.
The sad thing is that he has a point. Thinking about all the valuable sites that were trashed in the 1800s by archaeologists who didn't understand how to preserve stuff, it's pretty likely that archaeologists in the 2200s will think similar things about *us*.
I love the other commenters no insults or foul language just calm friendly explanation
Picturing whales pop out of the ocean like water weenies made me laugh out loud
I know it might sound strange, but... "rare whale in field" means that it doesn't happen often or does it mean that the whale was uncooked? Or is it a pun?
they get squeezed together until they pop out like water weenies and land on the shore.
Load More Replies...I think this is my favorite, I just hope someone read it and believed it was true lol
I have to assume this bloke is a comedian :) or he is very, very scary.
You're thinking of a steering wheel on your s*****m.
Load More Replies...People are always so quick to call each other retards and idiots on the internet. :/
There's nothing hilarious about being bitten by a mole person while on the toilet😭
Load More Replies...I hope this guy is aware of his humoristic genius... and that he's found some way to make money out of it.
It's kind of interesting how some people are quick to call him idiot or stupid or r****d, while others try to explain where he is wrong
Makes me wonder what the percentage is both ways and what it says about people
Load More Replies...Is true and said by buddha, the mountain are big, the mountain are not big.
I wish BP's trolls were more like him, just harmless obvious stupidity as opposed to offensive bigotry.
Negerpitou, please ignore the ignorant, hateful comment of the other arsehole who replied to you. Their comment is more about them leading a sad, pathetic life, than it is about how you to choose to live yours. Hold your head high, and give those sorts of comments the response they deserve...none. Do not let the hate inside others creep in to you. Please be kind to yourself, you're as worthy of life as anyone else.
Load More Replies...The striking thing is that he gets insulted on almost any post, however absurd it is.
And when the first response he gets is not insulting, he strikes back with even more absurdity to make sure people get his joke.
Load More Replies...Ken M is hysterical. Too bad the trolls on this site didn't go for something like that, instead of being over-the-top inflammatory. After The Onion post on BP I thought of Ken M. But I'm sorry to say that Bored Panda is just regurgitating old stuff. Maybe the moderators should stop making their posts automatically be "featured" and let the people decide by upvotes. Conversely, the "trending" stuff is sometimes really good.
Ken M is so innocent and pure. And it's sad how much discussion culture has gone south. Even here on BP :/
