YouTube Comments

Is it just me, or are the people who post comments on YouTube the dumbest people on earth? I've only posted one video on YouTube, it was the video of my beard growth time lapse from tommysbeard.com back in 2006. While I could pretty much use any video as proof of the idiocy of the comments section, it seemed to make sense to use the only video I've ever posted myself as an example of how it takes less than 10 comments to devolve into expletive splattered mess.



xxxamorexxx: Freaky

METMAN92towhoknows: its funny his hair didnt grow

rmatt8748: wow wow woo
very nice, how much?

leonkillr: fuck u

jonsmind: Gee maybe he had haircuts along the way. What do ya think?

haggler: very fake, nice though

whittleddownbattery: idiot, its a time lapse...

haggler: i know, i'm just saying it looks fake, if i didn't know it was real, i would have thought it was computer generated. I do know what time-lapse's are (i do them a lot myself)

leonkiller: u suck my balls

haggler: you reply to comments left 9 months ago, when i was annoying and got on everyones nerves. Still dont know whether its fake or not, but nevertheless it is interesting.

IpoopedInYourInbox: it looks like his beard is crawling down his neck. Well, it's growing on his neck.

crabcakes200: this is so freakin retarded! why do everyone do this! its stupid! his one is totally fake, its totally computer generated! wtf is a time lapse!

steffzzey: Ok are u a even 12yo? wtf is a time leapse, omg u got a serious problem, it is not fake.

matsepan: why does everyone rate him thumbs down? he likes it
he cemments the comment down! sry for bad english, i am german!

splinkydinkydinky: this guy sold his beard on e-bay when he shaved it off. fetched $50!

RUGGEDRHINOS: he is so sexist toward lesbian beagles

boywithadolphin: Well done. You made the background constant unlike the other videos


And there you have it. We have the typical aggressive comment just trying to pick a fight with other commenters (u suck my balls), the claim that it is fake (which also seems to be a YouTube tradition, no matter what the video is of), and the completely irrelevant and meaningless (he is so sexist toward lesbian beagles). The only thing I don't have that seems to be a regular YouTube occurrence is some sort of racist element, but you won't need to look far for it.
