As the title says and to dig up some old gold, what has been your favourite comment on a post or forum to date?

To get it started, mine would be scrambledeggs comment >Your toddler doesn't need an iPad lol, which started a bit of a chain reaction. This gave me a good laugh.

    I think it's an investment with high yield. As an individual, it's an upgrade to my living standard which I deserve. As for my profession, I believe it helps me to blend in to this new environment. First impression counts, I think it does make a difference. Lastly, my condition allows me to, so why not.

      Ah! The origin of the $80k high yield investment vehicle that has plagued most forums since.

      Love it - thanks for sharing.

    From this year, I recall the below two. I like the first one for its simplicity and wit, and the second one for the creativity and effort.

    Q: "[Does] Anyone [know] where I can get a[n] office chair without casters / wheels?"
    A: "The stationary section."

    My response to chumlee's comment from the "Neighbour's falling tree branch almost hit me!" thread.

    Edit: D'oh! Thanks to dasher86, I managed to catch this animated gif from the dashcammer turning into the bus. I somehow missed that excellent comment at the time.

    My favourite so far is a deleted comment:

    Unhappy Miserable Marriage and a Child
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/490786
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/7866355/redir
    Jar Jar binks on 21/10/2019 - 23:38 Comment unpublished. (Requested by Commenter)

    So basically OP is in an unhappy marriage and has kids. The deleted advice? Become a cuckold (open relationship) and live with his wife and his wife's boyfriend. They then cite anecdotal evidence (I know a multi-partner couple that lives in a happy household with their special needs daughter).

    Then they replied to themselves saying "why was this downvoted?"

    Then I replied "that relationship sounds complicated. does that special needs daughter even know who her father is?"

    The rest as they say, is deleted history.

    Is there a way to view deleted comments like you can on reddit?

    There was one a few years back about this guy who had chipped in for a bday cake for a work colleague and wanted his money back because he didn't like the cake himself and felt it was not worth what he chipped in. I can't remember the exact details but I remember I screenshot it at the time and whenever I thought someone was being a douche I looked back at that picture and knew today noone would ever be as petty as that OP.
