In the US, there are 3 places you go when you have totally lost your mind:
1- A psychiatric hospital
2- The Republican Party
3- Reddit
Ok, and maybe an audition for The Bachelor, but that’s it – those four places. That’s why Reddit is such an amazing forum; with only a few places to turn, so many incredibly entertaining people turn there. And where they really shine once they get there, is in the Comments section.
Every once in a while we get lucky, and on Reddit people post links to our articles. Every once in a while we get even luckier, and on Reddit people comment on those articles. Some of those comments are so weird, witty, hilarious and grossly inappropriate that I couldn’t help but start a Hall of Fame. These are my first batch of inductees, with article titles, images, videos, and some color commentary of my own.
