DAE click on this post to see what the top joke in this thread would be?

[–]AddictiveSoup 47 points48 points ago

I clicked to try and think of one.

[–]gigashadowwolf 2 points3 points ago

I clicked, saw there wasn't one, tried to think of one, realized if I might be able to think of it off of the current top post as I was out of ideas based upon the original post, then thought "hey maybe someone else did that already and there's is the top reply to the top comment, read you comment, and now I'm still stuck.

[–]zero-2551 8 points9 points ago

i have no idea what you talking about. im going back to /r/wtf where things make more sense

[–]C1de 0 points1 point ago

DAE expect the first post to have a massive amount of replies?

[–]HumanIssue 13 points14 points ago

Then feel sad that they could never come up with something so witty?

[–]atimholt 2 points3 points ago

Almost. I figured out it'd be this, then decided to post something meta in response.

[–]ieatbagels 4 points5 points ago

Came here to see what comment would be at the top.

[–]CaffeinatedGuy 0 points1 point ago

Somehow I knew this would be the top level "joke"

[–]seluropnek 3 points4 points ago

HAHAHAHAHA!

[–]RichterScale -1 points0 points ago

Figured this was going to be it.

[–]tehsuck1 -1 points0 points ago

Woah, meta dude.

[–]doctorscurvy 69 points70 points ago

From what I've seen, a lot of people click on a post's comments just to ignore everything already written and post the inevitable joke anyway

[–]SmokeStackz 64 points65 points ago

From what I have seen, people click on the comments and refuse to read anything else that has already been posted, then make the same joke anyway.

...and there's this thread's inevitable joke, right on schedule...

[–]doctorscurvy 6 points7 points ago

[–]duffmanhb 5 points6 points ago

Not to be the old man, but this is really how I feel: Back in the day, a thread would have a top voted pun/joke/crack at the top. When it was, it was damn clever, and not a very common occurrence. Nowadays, it's defacto. Every time I open a thread I expect to close a bunch of comments from 18 year olds that flood the top 5 comments before getting to actual discussion.

Back then, it was maybe 50 percent of the comments were worthy of comments, now adays, I see about one or two per thread.

Consider yourself lucky :p

[–]unbibium -1 points0 points ago

This is why I always upvote the inevitable joke. It may not really deserve it, but it'll cause other people to see it, and be less likely to post it themselves.

[–]dkauffman 5 points6 points ago

And then I downvote it.

I come specifically to downvote the brainless reactionary remark I know will be there.

DAE circlejerk on reddit?

[–]Rye631 2 points3 points ago

Bravely?

[–]CallMeBinkley3 5 points6 points ago

Your mom is inevitably on top.

[–]Pokez 16 points17 points ago

The Inevitable Joke.

[–]Clumpy 4 points5 points ago

Just a heads-up since I've had Reddit-based posts blocked from this subreddit before:

No meta-discussion (meaning discussion about reddit or this subreddit). The appropriate place for that is circlejerk or elsewhere.

[–]demeteloaf 2 points3 points ago

Change your comment sorting to best instead of top.

best will tend to give you better quality comments, as opposed to top, which will tend to give you popular comments that a lot of people have seen.

[–]MoveitFootballHead 0 points1 point ago

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE

[–]aimesome 0 points1 point ago

NOPE!

[–]techmnml 3 points4 points ago

"Insert inevitable joke"

[–]shpongolian 1 point2 points ago

Funny thing about my inevitable joke is, it's in my pants.

[–]techmnml -4 points-3 points ago

Take this man to the top!

[–]gonzoimperial 1 point2 points ago

NOPE! Chuck Testa.

DAE click on this post to see what the top joke in this thread would be?

[–]dsaavedra 1 point2 points ago

Yup. And I can almost always call what the inevitable joke will be. Or if it's not the inevitable top joke, I can at least call one joke that will be made.

[–]vgarrett -1 points0 points ago

derp.

[–]LarryTheSatelliteGuy 1 point2 points ago

the inevitable joke

[–]offconstantly -1 points0 points ago

Every time I see the "ol switcheroo" I want to leave the site for an hour or so.

[–]bobyhey123 -1 points0 points ago

shit brix post

A HERP DERP NO BLACK GUY HAHA IM FUNNY RIGHT?

no.

[–]omguard -1 points0 points ago

Often there will be an expected techie related joke. so I click in hopes that reddit will still represent

[–]xct 0 points1 point ago

I get upset when there is a joke on the top and the actual discussion is somewhere in the middle.

[–]GeorgeWalkerKush 1 point2 points ago

From what I've seen, a lot of people click on a post's comments just to ignore everything already written and post the inevitable joke anyway

[–]eributt 2 points3 points ago

It took about four of these for me to get the joke....

[–]UtimateAgentM -1 points0 points ago

And then I downvote it. If the joke is so obvious that every single person who looks at the title knows it's coming, then the joke need not be made.

[–]heydummies 0 points1 point ago

Just when you think you've seen the dumbest DAE question, another one comes along and blows it away.

[–]HynieSpanker 0 points1 point ago

[–]h2mc 0 points1 point ago

I always look for the Arrested Development reference. With club sauce.

[–]weks 0 points1 point ago

Every time I look at comments and there ISN'T a pun chain on top, I feel surprised.

[–]Secret_Boner -1 points0 points ago

Some of us care enough to mass downvote those threads.

[–]pornjesus 1 point2 points ago

I always sort by oldest. That way you get to read some comments that might in fact be worth it. Instead of the same fucking half a dozen jokes with their half a thousand upvotes.

[–]DavidFoxxxy 0 points1 point ago

It's remarkably fucking irritating. Instead of substance, you get a dozen self-important morons circlejerking in their idiotic pun thread and for some reason it gets hundreds of upvotes.

[–]paaty -1 points0 points ago

I always try to think of a joke as the comments page is loading, I then get sad when I see that the exact said joke is buried.

[–]chase_demoss 1 point2 points ago

This question is one that is answered, in the book of

[–]herco 1 point2 points ago

But sometimes u got to comment, thinking your gonna make a really original profound comment but then found out everyone has already done that so then u feel like the inevitable joke

[–]DiggingNoMore -1 points0 points ago

No, because I sort the comments by "old".

[–]noizes 1 point2 points ago

I click, check to see if the expected level of shit is at the top. If so I switch from best -> top or from top -> best. Then apply the wadsworth constant to the scroll bar and hope for the fucking best.

This can fail terribly if there is a shitty pun thread, or a grammar nazi convention. When that happens I get sad that no matter what the topic was from the OP it is totally derailed and covered in shit. Then you get people that do what I'm doing right now, bitching about how it's changed.

Guess what fucko's, it's voting, you know like we do for our government. Stupid shit gets voted and floated to the top the same way in both systems.

It made me giggle, upvote. He don't want to take my guns, ballot vote.

It has absolutely jackfuckall to do with OP, doesn't add to conversation, or thought. Downvote. You're going to let me keep my guns but take away all this other stuff and cram that other shit on me? Well I got my bun and it was clear the ballot box, and the soap box didn't work... where's that ammo box.

yep i'm guilty of it too, and i'm having an annoying day so piss off

[–]DavidFoxxxy 0 points1 point ago

Pun threads are so fucking irritating. Downvote the shit out of everyone in them.

[–]stoopdapoop 0 points1 point ago

I click on the comments because I want to read the best ones.

[–]DavidFoxxxy 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it's really annoying. For once I wish the top comments had substance and not just stupid pun threads. It's juvenile and pointless.

[–]BloodyPancakeSyrup -1 points0 points ago

INEVITABLE JOKE

[–]Famine07 -1 points0 points ago

Yes, whenever someone post their "Reddit, look who I met today!!" picture with some celebrity the top comment is always "That's cool (Insert celebrity here) but who is that random person??" Trying to be funny and do a switch-a-roo, but it's starting to get to the level of unfunny that rivals the classic YouTube Comment, Insert number of dislikes - unwitty comment.

[–]heydummies -2 points-1 points ago

Cool story bro.

[–]ryno235 -1 points0 points ago

Post's comments? Everyone must see his jokes coming, otherwise I would have heard of him.

[–]jasonsawtelle -2 points-1 points ago

Knew it.

[–]timewarp -2 points-1 points ago

No. You're the only one.

[–]specs112 -1 points0 points ago

During long sessions of browsing Reddit, I track my percentage of being able to predict the content of the top comment.

We should call this measurement the Circlejerk Average or something similar.

[–]tookanarrow -2 points-1 points ago

I used to, but then I took an arrow in the knee :(

[–]DavidFoxxxy 1 point2 points ago

Enough with this fucking joke, seriously.

[–]tookanarrow -1 points0 points ago

you think this joke is bad, try living with an arrow in the knee ಠ_ಠ

[–]DavidFoxxxy 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure it's a lot harder being an unoriginal band-wagoner.

[–]nasirg -2 points-1 points ago

edit: why downvote any answer that says "no". i didn't realise you had to say yes to a DAE question.
