@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?

@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.

@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.

@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. ;)

@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!

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

@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.
