Ok, so one of the many things that makes Videogum great is the commentators. I could go on and on about some great comments, so I picked just one.
this little number comes from as a reply to Steve Winwood from commenter Duncan, as posted on June 25th, during the height of Winwoodmania:
"I hadn’t realised this before but ‘Wise Downvote’ is an anagram of ‘Steve Winwood’…"

So what's your favorite comment of the year? Picking your own doesn't count.

Is it possible to nominate all of Godsauce's (RIP) comments from the Comic-Con thread? Without him, we certainly wouldn't have been able to hit 1000 and so many of them were just great.

The one I liked was from http://videogum.com/241512/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time-500-days-of-summer/franchises/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time/#comment-7982532 or whatever. Cultural U. said:
ReplyDeleteWord. Zooey Deschanel may be a “worthwhile object for the male gaze” but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a worthwhile object for the MALE GAYS, AM I RIGHT FELLAS
I may come back with something else, but a recent favorite was sadmalandar in the "Perfect Crime" (thieves stealing sheep from a moving truck) post:
ReplyDeleteAnd the farmer will never know because everytime he tries to count his sheep, he falls asleep before he’s done.
Maybe it's not necessary to say, but it came during a week where the "usual" callbacks/puns/inside things weren't really doing it for me and I personally was leaning pretty heavily on "This thing is like that thing", and then way down in this thread was this perfect obvious-in-retrospect kid-logic comment.
