I (almost) never understand what's so bad about the worst comments.

I would very much like to see a scorecard of Best/Worst CotD's.

@videogoddess: sometimes they're bad because theyre stupid or dumb and other times theyre bad because theyre bad-funny and other times they are bad because the editors are tired of saying the same thing or having to deal with the same comment.

I hear that that was the flag flying at the Mayflower hotel in Washington on Valentine's.

I was thinking the same thing re: worst comment...

My sarcasm soooo doesn't translate sometimes.

But, that said...

WOO HOO! Worstie again! I rule! I rule! I rule!

@Lady Skittlehattington: Truly, with a few exceptions, I really think they pick 'em at random.

@Lady Skittlehattington: It's a sarchasm, my favorite made-up word.

@Hamsterpants: The annoying part? It's always for the dumb comment I make before I have my coffee. Unfair...

I'm going to start shamlessly pandering for Best Comment.

@KnitSandwich: *adds to vocabulary*

@Lady Skittlehattington: Considering the quality of commenters put "on notice" last week, I now think of the Daily Worstie as a badge of honor.

@Lady Skittlehattington: Jealous!

@Lady Skittlehattington: I think they picked you so they could state the obvious, (she looks grumpy) which was already clear from your comment.

@Lady Skittlehattington: I don't get the system they use. Sometimes the worst are better than the best.

@KnitSandwich: ...and mine too, as of now. Brilliant!

@Lady Skittlehattington: Seriously, babe, I think my 2 girls 1 cup comment about Paris Hilton deserved Worst. You do rule, though!

@badmutha: And sometimes the alleged "best" are really quite "meh". I almost always see ones that are funnier or more pithy every day.

@Hamsterpants: Agree. Like some of the ones you make! You always tickle the funny bone.

I've noticed a significant difference in the best/worst comments, which happened right after we had a short period of no best/worst comments of the day. Theories on why?

@BiscuitDoughJones: I'm trying to own the Worstie honors at this point. Perhaps I'll go home and celebrate with wine.

@blackbirdfly: And by difference, I mean usually the best are not actually the best and the worst are nowhere near the worst.

Does Jessica want to weigh in on this? Because I don't get worst voting system either. Sometimes I read it and think "Christ, what a douchebag" but usually it's somewhere between average and really funny. Sometimes, funnier than best comment.

@Lady Skittlehattington:

you definitely must celebrate with wine! I made a "bitch face" comment too, so I applaud your notoriety. In fact- I'm celebrating with wine for you right now!

@Hamsterpants: I've got a useful tip for ya's: When you see a comment that you think should get either best or worst, nominate it in the comments. A little birdie told me that things like that draw people's attention to the good comment that may have been overlooked. ;)

@BiscuitDoughJones: Could I disguise my avatar with a phony mustache and nominate myself? I'm all about self-promotion at this point.

@Lady Skittlehattington: Hahahaha! That would be so funny. But you'd have to be Tranvestite Skittlehattington, iffn you were wearing the mustache.

@Lady Skittlehattington: That was you!? Aw, I'm so proud!

@AlmostZooey: I know, right? It's like you gave birth to your own baby girl, except she smokes and says shit a lot.

@blackbirdfly: Now I'm all paranoid that my best wasn't funny.

I only like worst when they're really worst, or when they're the grossest. Like that double tampon one that got best AND worst.

@Lady Skittlehattington: Well... now that I think about it, I don't know if I can associate with you anymore. If you'll excuse me, I cut my foot before and my shoe is filling up with blood.

@Lady Skittlehattington: Let's pander away then! Lets pander it up! Get our pander on!

I'm drinking.

@FourInchHeels: There is no voting system. Me and my helper monkey look through the comments and try to find the best. Sometimes there aren't really "bad" comments so I just pick what I think is funny. It's not a condemnation necessarily and it doesn't mean you're going to be up on the chopping block. Dig?

All I know is that I want my serifs back, goddamn!
