Comment of the Day

Benny Goldman — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 15:30:23 EST

Hey commenters: Despite what we may say to one another, I know deep down we are one big happy family. So after sifting through the daily dose of "Will it blend?"s, "DO (NOT) WANT"s, insane rants, conspiracy theories, and this well-crafted missive, I found something that was both funny and out of the ordinary, and it represents how much you all mean to me. True, it did come from the legend Strider_mt2k, but this is good advice for you up-and-comers who hope to see your own comment up in the bright lights one day. So here it is, your comment of the day, a quick one-liner found on the Massive Lens post:

Holy Milton Berle that thing's huge!

Well done Strider, well done. [Comment Link, Explanation for the kiddies]

Comment Of The Day

Today's comment of the day actually comes from the Question of the Day and is another response type comment. The comment was made by RIPFIRE4 and was addressing morganlh85 's inability to find a decent watch.

BY RIPFIRE4 AT 07:29 PM
@morganlh85: "I haven't been able to find a decent watch that doesn't weigh my arm down or look ridiculous and/or homely."
What's your arm made of? Spaghetti?

Now, some of you might think this is the worst comment of the day, but if you care enough to find out our reasoning, feel free to take the jump. We can't guarantee it will be worth it though...

This is awarded comment of the day status for very different reasons than previous winners. Before, the comments won for thought-out ideas and proper deliveries; sadly this comment does not contain these elements.
The comment wins simply because it produces a funny thought. The idea that morganlh85 has spaghetti for arms; yes that's right, the image of a man with spaghetti arms; with no hands, just long single strands of spaghetti. Then the thought of this spaghetti arm man trying on various watches in a jewelry story and after testing a dozen or so he states in a frustrated tone to his wife, "See what I mean, this watch, it's just too big, it's way too heavy... sheesh, I can never find a watch that fits.."

So there you go, the explanation to why RIPFIRE4 is awarded the comment of the day.

The video showing the SmartNav hands-free mouse that controls your PC with your head was just waiting to be made fun of, and that's exactly what our comment of the day did. NUTBASTARD 's (if you think his name is ultra-cool, you should see his avatar; appears to be a bona-fide badass) comment with reference to a Tilaka and his use of trademark symbols proved to be a comment that was simply a cut above the rest, and so it must be awarded with the comment of the day.

Since yesterday's comment of the day was so popular, we struggled to find one today that would be just as compelling... At first it seemed that a comment in the Apple Year-End Report Card was going to take it, but then about 40 other commenters said the same thing, by also calling the Giz "fanboys"; so that quickly became unoriginal. Then the comment of the day was found, and we know at least one commenter will agree, EMOSHUNZ that means you. OMG!!! PONIES!!! 's comment on Bill Gates' recent Mexican investment, is a well thought-out joke that we couldn't help but award with the comment of the day. And to all those fanboy callin', Apple haters, you'll probably like this one too...

BY OMG!!! PONIES!!! AT 11:10 AM Of course, if Apple sold Mexican beer, it would be Miller Chill. Apple would claim to have revolutionized beer by combining fruit and beer, criticized anyone else for fruiting beer, and also charged extra for the privilege of pre-fruited beer. Yes, the beer would have a slightly higher alcohol content, but you'd still be able to get a better buzz for less money by buying Corona, the Windows of Mexican beer (tastes okay, not great, but okay). Meanwhile, stoners would scoff at you as you came out of the bodega for not doing the Linux-alternative by huffing paint with them in parking lot.

Today's comment of the day was actually a reply to the worst comment of the day (go figure); and can both be found under another one of our excuses to post pictures of a woman, in Christmas attire, holding gadgety junk. To make sure you get the comments full effect, we'll post the worst comment first, and then the reply after. Oh yea, almost forgot to mention, congrats to Adam Frucci (hmm, sounds familiar) for posting the comment of the day.

Today's comment of the day came to us while browsing the comments for the Turbo Toaster; and although we anticipated to read jokes criticizing the Queen lovin' Redcoat's inability to make tasty food, this comment was sadly not one of them. Dustybutt's (wish that wasn't his name) comment proved to be very entertaining by not only making a joke of a crazy product idea but also having a superb choice of delivery. So without further adieu, here is the comment of the day, by our very own, Dustybutt..
