NPR: "20 Unhappiest people in the comments section of year-end lists"

I thought this was kind of funny.  Here are a few:

 

2. The Really Pretty Sure Person, Who Is Really Pretty Sure. "I've never seen Game Of Thrones, but I'm really pretty sure it's not as good as Boardwalk Empire."

 

6. The Read A Book Guy. "Not one of these movies is as good as reading a book." On a list of books, by the way, he will say none of the books is as good as books used to be. He also hates Kindles, which he may or may not mention.

 

7. The Self-Punisher. "I always hate your tastes, so I knew this would be a miserable and useless list before I decided to click on it and read the whole thing, and now I know I was right."

 

15. The Person Who Is Probably Too Hardcore For You. "The best film of the year was shot in Tokyo and the title translates to I [Bleep]ed Your Grandmother With A [Blank] And [Bleep] You Too. I guess that's probably a little too hardcore for you. You should get outside the multiplex once in a while."

 

20. The Humble Alternative. "If you really want to know what the best choices of the year were, I put my list up at my site, KnittingWithDagmarAndLaura.com — it's not just about knitting!"

 

The rest are here:  http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2011/12/14/143699630/the-20-unhappiest-people-you-meet-in-the-comments-sections-of-year-end-lists

Those are great.

 

18. The Person Who Wanted To Be Surprised. "Uh, way to go out on a limb. These are the same things you've been talking about all year and saying were the best things when they came out in the first place."

Number 13, the subject changer, is dead on.

Funny list. Thanks for sharing.

Too many VERY familiar stereotypes in there. It hurts.

Made me laugh. Maybe when the dry season hits next year and there's not much in the way of news and reviews around one or more of the CHUD staff could work up a similar but more CHUD-centric list of dopey commentfolks.

21. The guy who suggests that taking a successful idea and making it "CHUD-centric" is a good idea.

This was an entertaining list. I thank you for sharing it with us. Anything that can serve to brighten our days in the midst of this dark winter chill is a welcome treat

8. The Unwitting Outlier. "Has anyone really cared about George Clooney since ER?"

 

Love this one. There's always someone who has to come along and shit on a choice by saying it's irrelevant despite the clear fact that a) someone did care about it enough to put it on an end of year list, and b) THEY care about it enough to leave the comment proclaiming its irrelevance.
