Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

5:28 PM EST on January 22, 2016

The first blizzard of 2016 is underway, dumping snow and ice over the South right now and arriving on the East Coast late tonight. One to two feet are expected in some parts, and it sounds like we are not supposed to drive in NYC, which is fine, since it's not like I wanna drive in NYC when it's not snowing. You should stay home, too; apparently one in four Americans are under some sort of extreme weather advisory today. Also the storm's name is Jonas, which is maybe amusing to Weezer fans and Jonases. So what are good blizzard songs? "Blizzard Of '77," certainly. "Blizzard Of '96," too. Who will write the great Blizzard Of '16 anthem? We're waiting...<!—more-->

I'm surprised my meaningless rejoice of a comment has sparked such existentialism.

Thought I was so clever but it turns out Tom beat me to this joke by two hours

Fingers crossed that swish turns out to be a concept album about the cousin who stole the laptop

This version of Best/Worst comments is about as fucking useful as having the best record in Major League Baseball's 1994-1995 season.

I'm glad Scott's diabolical plan to trick the ratings system and get the number 1 spot has failed. You're evil plans have no place here, lapatine!

This year really needs a restart so far man, my new years optimism is already completely gone.

I like to think everyone else downvoted that lowest rated comment the same as I did, that is to say ‘This is long, too long, it's probably bullshit, not sure, downvote just in case'

		Drake is a terrible MC and has never recorded a good song. He's a child star alumnus of a Nickelodeon show who had an equestrian theme for his bar mitzvah or some shit. And his answerbacks were weak as fuck. I don't understand how the consensus came down on his side against Meek. Pure star power?

		I'd originally put this in the text of the piece, but I wrote this on Friday, before Future's Purple Reign tape came out. If I'd waited, it would've gone to Future. Purple Reign is my favorite 2016 album thus far; I'd even put it above Blackstar.
