10 Hilarious Listverse Comments
It has been a while since we had a “vanity” post. The previous ones have been in honor of such important things as my birthday, but this time we will let the light shine on you – the commenters. The best thing about this list is that the items were chosen by our readers and they were all made by our readers. So how did this happen? On the forums, astraya decided to start a thread of all time funniest listverse comments. Six pages later we have a nice selection. I have gathered together ten of them to present here – and if this is a popular list I will do more in future.
Original List: Your View: What is the worst human invention?
longball: the womans vibrator
Saffa: So you have no problem with a man’s vibrator?

List Item 1: Diphallia is a condition in which a male is born with two penises.
Baxter: I wish I had diphallia. Triphallia is a bitch.

[JFrater: Next time you think I am not a tolerant moderator, remember this conversation – kiwiboi is my brother – making this a particularly personal discussion.]
bucslim: Holy shit! Isn’t it one of the signs of the apocalypse when Randall and I are on the same side?
kiwiboi: bucslim – maybe you guys oughta get a room…
bucslim: I will, just as soon as I’m done with your Mom.
kiwiboi: Huh ? You mean you’ve finished with yours already ??
bucslim: She’s ok, but not as good as your sister.
kiwiboi: Maybe…but at least your dad says you’re still as tight as a little pink drum
bucslim: He said that after he was done with you.
Randall: amateurs.
Randall: see now, “tight as a little pink drum” is funny.
kiwiboi: Aw c’mon bucslim…you need to be more inventive than that. For example, I could say to you that the last time you got a piece of ass was when your hand tore through the toilet paper
bucslim: No, the last time I got a piece of ass was with your sister.

Mortivore: @bucslim: Wow. You seriously just made my day. That was probably the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. Of course, I spent my day making funeral arrangements for my recently deceased grand mother … But still.

jajdude: Curveballed guns on the list – baseball is my favorite remedy for insomnia and preventing premature ejacs yo.
jfrater: jajdude: I constantly hope that one day I will understand your comments
Iain: Actually JF – that was one of JAJs more comprehensible comments – to paraphrase – ‘Baseball is so boring it can send you to sleep and thinking about it during sex can prevent ejaculation.” – and I tend to agree.

Enoooo: I’m sure most Americans think European sports are dumb/boring.
segue: … Rugby is catching on. My younger daughter started playing 10 years ago, became a hooker, and now, a prop. She also coaches youth rugby.
bucslim: segue, sorry to hear about your daughter becoming a hooker. One piece of advice, I’m not sure you want her coaching rugby to youngsters. When the other parents find out what she does for extra cash, they might not be too happy about it.
segue: @bucslim: Silly boy.

Randall: Are we going to argue about contemporary poetry? Please. I haven’t the time. Poetry, after all, is a dead form. No one reads it and only academics are writing it (and pretentious types, who as always write crap, and never go away).
Cheeshygirl: @Randall – “(and pretentious types, who as always write crap, and never go away).”
So, you’ve started writing poetry?
Original List: Your View: Should Creationism Be Taught In Schools?
Kerra: Anon, You give the average high school student far too much intellectual credit. They are no inquisitive and curious. Their hormones rule almost their every action, and if its not hormones its hunger.
Anon: Kerra, Thanks. I’m greatly relieved to hear that. Saves everyone a lot of time [and] trouble. Seems we might shove Creationism out of the curric[ulum] reckoning and give sex education and lunch hour a bit more time instead then! Hohoho.
segue: Anon, you left out the comma between sex and education.
