Best of Digg: January Comments
We all know that Digg is a fantastic resource for discovering the most interesting content the Web has to offer. But just as entertaining as the submissions are the conversations the Digg community builds around the news stories, funny images and quirky videos that hit the homepage.
With that in mind, we’ve decided to spotlight a few of the comments from the past month that have made us at Digg HQ laugh. All three of these are among January’s 10 most-dugg comments.
The most popular contribution of the month, with +2345 diggs at our last count, makes fun of annoying celebs who we’re equally impressed and disgusted by — in this case, Michael Cera. User XYconfiguration (who, with just 17 comments since November 2005, goes for quality over quantity) also provides prime fodder for other commenters — see user CaughtThinking’s take on Zooey Deschanel.
Also making us chuckle in January was this classic Digg switcheroo, with +1976 diggs at last check. User scstraus, who pulls us in for an intriguing and seemingly serious story and flips the script, leading to — where else? — a bad-ass comment-off (and the G-rated rap that probably drove every parent on early-90s middle school students crazy). Yo homes, to Bel-Air!
Hey, I see what you did there! Proving that the comments Diggers provide are as funny as the much-loved stories The Onion submits, user dawnraid101 hits us with the pun factor in his 1565-digg beauty. A tip o’ the hate and a very good gay to you, sir.
Props to all the users who make comments so much fun. As always, we welcome feedback, so please hit us with your questions or comments. You can contact us via email at http://digg.com/contact or follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/digg_community
Hasta pronto,
