- A lot of what _vargas_
says. He's built up a reputation for telling wild stories that at first seem relevant and believable but get progressively more bizarre as one continues reading.
- This is just the beginning (full comment here
) of one of his longer comments:
"As someone who has dropped more babies than I can remember (some were dropped while I was drunk, so an official tally is near impossible), allow me to alleviate some of the guilt you may be feeling. First off, babies aren't some delicate, fragile creatures whose lives are easily extinguished like the kitten my cousin Ronnie hugged too hard when we were kids. Babies are durable, like Crocs, and are designed by evolution to withstand all sorts of trauma."

- Whenever a Redditor makes a typo in their title and/or posts in the wrong subreddit. Here's an example of a typo in the post.Original Poster: oh god i've made a terrible mistake
- Someone asked what drink order they should get
at Sonic on /r/sonic (a sub that has since merged with r/sonicthehedgehog). The mods floated the post for nearly a month and it got a comparatively large number of upvotes and punny replies.

- The /r/trees
subreddit for marijuana enthusiasts, and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts
for actual trees.

- Jose Canseco's So Bad, It's Good AMA.Concerning time travel:Redditor: You just don't have enough jiggawatts.Jose Canseco: your mother thinks I do.i just jiggawatted in her
- The popular subreddit /r/funny
has archives of humorous moments ranging from photos, memes, gifs, and comic strips. /r/Jokes
is text-only jokes that are similar to most stand-up comedies.
- Any given comment from /u/rogersimon10
, anecdotes that start off fairly normally but always result in him getting beat up by his dad with jumper cables.
- In a similar fashion is /u/shittymorph
's comments, which, instead of ending with his dad being beaten with jumper cables, end in some variant of "In nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table."
- In a similar fashion is /u/shittymorph
- The Ultimate Pun
, made by /u/dart22, which was such an amazing pun that it wasn't followed up by endless pun threads; everyone knew they'd never measure up.note
Redditor: Exactly... Ask Lexi Belle if she has any interest in philosophy. If she says yes, then ask her which philosophers she likes. Once you get her answer, strike up a conversation with the girl in your class about these very philosophers. This will get you laid.
dart22: Isn't this putting Descartes before the whores? - /r/ThanksObama shut down. Why? Because Obama himself made a "Thanks, Obama" joke
and the subreddit's moderators declared that they would never be able to top that
and closed its doors permanently. Naturally, the top-rated comment in response to this is "/r/ThanksObama shut down? Thanks Obama."
- One user accidentally changed his language preferences to Spanish and asked how to undo it. A massive thread popped up to help him (including an admin). All in Spanish.
- Watch the chaos unfold when you replace every instance of a personal pronoun in a song
with "Greg".

- Lil Jon's AMA
, in which he answers every question in ALLCAPS.
- Redditor: Yo Lil Jon what's your favorite dinosaur?Lil Jon: BARNEY
- FUCK CHICKEN!
- /r/SubredditSimulator
, a fully-automated subreddit comprised of bots creating Markov-chained content based on submissions and/or comments from various subreddits. The result is either quite incomprehensible or pure hilarity. Case in point
:
- aww_SS: Rescued a stray cat [picture of a dog]
- One of the subreddit bots takes from /r/totallynotrobots
. As many have pointed out, it's a bot pretending to be a human pretending to be a bot pretending to be a human, with oft-funny results.
- Probably the greatest Casual IAmA ever: ask a question, the OP answers it, and then the asker changes the original question to make it as embarrassing/hilarious as possible
.
- /r/amathenedit
is a whole subreddit dedicated to this.
- /r/amathenedit
- /r/contagiouslaughter
features videos of hilarious moments which almost always involve the people in the video laughing as well. There is a reason this subreddit is called contagious laughter.
- The drunkest AMA
where the OP answers questions that he asked himself.note
- Redditor: This is a true IAMA: I Ask Myself Anything.
- The CW show Arrow has (according to its fans) declined so rapidly that /r/Arrow
's users converted it into a forum about the Marvel Daredevil television series... which already has a subreddit (r/Defenders).
"Welcome to /r/arrow, the best place for the next three months to discuss everyone's favorite street-level vigilante, Daredevil!"- The subreddit's Top All-time most upvoted thread is a picture of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. cast, with a very long discussion of how good AoS has become.
- They're not the first subreddit to do something like this. After the much reviled eighth season of Dexter, someone posted a discussion about an episode
of Breaking Bad that aired around the same time on /r/Dexter
. It quickly caught on with everyone with even the mods getting in on it, to the point of having the sub getting a new CSS. It's currently the second highest upvoted post of all time on that subreddit, even to this day.
- /r/Arrow did it again after the final episode of a certain crossover, going full Punisher this time.
- In an AMA of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, user Loate ended his question in a RickRoll
. This would just be normal Reddit silliness if Loate wasn't Chris Kluwe, punter for the Minnesota Vikings, essentially mocking his own boss.
- /r/JesusChristReddit
is the epitome of Crosses the Line Twice, showcasing Reddit comments that just make you go "I shouldn't be laughing at this, but I can't stop."
- If you order /r/grilledcheese
by Top All-Time, the first post is a rant with over 25 000 points and 11 gold titled "you people make me sick" explaining that anything with more than bread, spread (usually butter), and cheese is a melt and doesn't belong on the subreddit. The second post, made after the first, is titled "open faced grilled cheese with tomato sauce", and is blatantly a pizza still resting in its box. Also high on the list: a repost of the same pizza, and a cheeseburger made to appease the author of the rant.
- /r/redditintensifies
, and the Screen Shake to go with the intensification.
- /r/modalltheusers
is pure chaos because anyone can be a moderator.
- In /r/leagueoflegends during 2014, an AMA was held with TSM Bjergsen, one of the most popular professional players, and a fan made an utterly gargantuan post with several questions
, which not only did Bjergsen answer in full, but also received tons of gildings from redditors. In response, another redditor posted "If he gets 400 gildings I'll eat a dick."
It proceeded to gain 421. The result? OP delivered in on his promise,
posting a video of himself eating a bull penis.
- /r/Stormfront, which is devoted to meteorology and tracking the weather. And trolling white supremacists and neo-Nazis looking for the official subreddit for the notorious Stormfront message board, complete with a logo that not-so-subtly parodies theirs. (Displays of bigotry, for the record, are strictly banned on /r/Stormfront.)
- Redditor /u/BurritoW4rrior made a wondrous pun
on a picture showing how similar Adam Jensen and a scene from Logan look, with the key difference being a lack of cigar in Logan.
BurritoW4rrior: Close... but no cigar. - I'm 3, I know everything, AMA
is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: users ask questions that the OP poses to his toddler son. Bonus points for another user later on asking her own three-year-old daughter some of the same questions and getting different (but still ridiculous) answers.
- /r/AskOuija
is a subreddit where people ask questions that get answered one letter at a time by everybody else. Most of the responses are the kind of nonsense you'd expect from the internet, but occasionally the hivemind manages some amusing responses:
- Now that he's retired, what is Obama doing this weekend?
- MICHELLE
- Ouija, you've helped us so much, answered so many of our questions - tell us, what can we do for you in return?
- SENDNUDES
- How do I get away with murder?
- EATTHEBODY
- Then there was the time that a user asked for the longest answer in r/AskOuija
. The answer? The entirety of the song "All Star."
- Now that he's retired, what is Obama doing this weekend?
- Around June 2017, there began an influx of motivational bots that respond to comments posting the :( emoticon with things to cheer the OP up. It usually ends up unintentionally amusing since it completely ignores context, and in one extreme case, one of them sent "a picture of a kitten to cheer you up"
... in an anguished conversation regarding the OP's dead cat.
- This entire thread
has someone try to critique an Undertale cover and botch that up badly. All of the other links in the thread show that it's only the beginning.
- /r/Arrow (see above) had a second meltdown after the ending of the 2017 Arrowverse crossover, Crisis on Earth-X. The subreddit near unanimously voted to become a The Punisher (2017) subreddit in response to the crossover's ending, the second most upvoted post of all time is now a picture of Frank Castle, with the comments filled with praise for his new series, and one redditor even went as far as to post a picture of the Teen Titans Go! cartoon (which has an infamous hatedom). Said picture is now the fourth highest upvoted post of all time on /r/Arrow. Needless to say, the Arrow fandom took the crossover's ending very badly, much to the amusement of everyone else.
- Reddit user tremulo decided to tackle a question
posed to r/whowouldwin: "Is there literally any way The Gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia could kill Darth Maul?"
