Well, guys, this is a tough day. It’s hard to know how to feel. One the one hand, it’s the first Monsters’ Ball of the year, and that’s always pretty exciting. We’re back! All our old friends! On the other hand, this is the last year before the world is destroyed in a cataclysmic event, which means that you’re really going to have to make this year’s comments COUNT if you want to make it to COMMENT HEAVEN. So, like I said, tough day. Lots of emotions. Congratulations to everyone. R.I.P. to everyone.
After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the winner of the New Year’s Resolutions Caption Contest, and the Editor’s and Associate Editor’s Choice.

[Assoc. Ed. Note: It's true that many of these are from last week and not this week, but there was no Monsters' Ball last week so DEAL WITH IT DOT PLEASE! For you guys, wonderful job. Happy to see you were so forthcoming with the wonderful comments during the holiday break, and the Kardashians were certainly some of the worst people of 2011. Djfreshie, great job and I enjoy your work in the comments of Stereogum. Paperstreetsoap, you nailed it. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FIVE OF YOU! 2012! 2012! 2012!]

[Ed. Note: WHOA! ALRIGHT! Haha, this is your one and only comment on the site, so I doubt that you will ever see this response (although thank you for uploading a user photo! Welcome to the community!) but a) we all know that Jim Carey was "joking," but it's a weird joke and also gross and b) no, Ricky Gervais was not funny, and c) no one has ever suggested that the celebrities in Hollywood can't "take it," of course they can "take it," it's more about whether or not it's something that's actually worth GIVING, that is the difference. Does that make sense? You retard?]

The wife of my father’s friend told me that I look like Paul Giamatti. She is a horrible bitch. |

I know, I know. He was totally ridiculous last night, but I also find his enthusiasm really endearing and can’t hate. Keep doing what you’re doing girl. |

| Posted in: A Fake Interview With Kanye West | |||
[Ed. Note: Yes. There are times in which the line between mocking and appreciating can become blurred and razor thin, but the reality is that Kanye West is very talented and VERY fun to watch. He has more self-awareness than many celebrities, without having so much self-awareness as to make him dull. And let's be honest, everyone loves a winner. His boastfulness and utter lack of humility would be insufferable in someone with less of a sense of humor, or with less actual talent to back it up, but Kanye's doing it right. Big fan. You go girl, indeed.]

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
I can’t wait to see how this plays out.
None of your business.
None of your business who?
So far, I’m not disappointed.
Go fuck yourself Lahey!
We have perhaps witnessed the invention of a new form of trolling here today.
Yay for First Friday! And here’s to hoping those Mayans got it wrong.
Word to the wise, Gophermachine, the best way to win the caption contest is to reply to someone else’s post. Another way to get into the ball is to dislike the movie “Up.”
I’m rooting for you buddy
Yay! thanks for the tip, I REALLY think that I can directly make it to the monsters’ ball this year. I’m feelin’ it. Too bad I think that UP is up there with Citizen Kane and Casablanca or else I’d use that second tip
I honestly feel bad that my pep talk to gophermachine ended up with more votes than gophermachine’s statement that it was his life’s dream to get into the Monster Ball.
Keep it up gophermachine! Someday maybe you will find yourself with an opportunity to completely plagiarize a six year old boy in order to encourage someone to achieve their dreams of being clicked at on the internet.
I think my favorite part of Monster’s Ball is when Gabe just unloads on the lowest rated commenter.
“Stop, stop! He’s already dead!”
By having this week’s Caption contest winner respond to me by using my username, he has finally put me in a monsters’ ball (in a way)!!! Yay!!!! Thanks Zayin_451!! Happy weekend everyone!!!!
Good job being mentioned by me! You deserve it!
Oh man, this episode was the shit. JELLY RAVE 4 EVAH
I thought this week would never end….NOW I AM VERY EXCITE THAT IT IS OVER!!!
Wait…the mets…the jets…the NETS….THEY ALL RHYME HOLY HECK THIS IS AMAAAAAAZING WOOOOOOO
I was rooting for Tony Parker, if only because he (she?) seems very intent on helping us all find love with real Hollywood celebrities and various rich singles… And we could all use that in our last year on this planet.
I kind of agree with santin, in principle. Well, I mean, if you took what he was saying and articulated it many many times better and then changed a couple things so that it actually makes sense.
Ricky Gervais and his whole Golden Globe’s schtick was NOT funny. But it doesn’t matter. 99% of comedians aren’t funny most of the time.
In the year of Whitney Cummings, Two and a half men, and Work It I think it’s pretty absurd to keep harping on Gervais for one unfunny performance. Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes wasn’t even the worst awards ceremony performance of the year.
That plus the fact that in every article that Videogum bashes Ricky Gervais they never fail to mention his atheism has me suspecting that his religious views are what hath offended and not one poor performance where he could have punched up a punchline or two.
It reminds me of the time I was dating a Catholic and she actually wanted me to convert. I didn’t even know that that was a thing still.
All of this right wing fundamentalist christianity coming out of Videogum lately has me feeling like they’re pressuring me. Don’t try to convert me, Videogum! I want to be good with Science and bad mouth True Blood! Why can’t I do both in peace!
Really? Videogum’s always been damning of religious assholes, to the point where it seems it seems ridiculous to need to point out that Videogum is really not right wing fundamentalist Christian. If you call out theist assholes, what’s wrong with calling out atheist assholes too? Assholes are assholes (this is the most profound sentence I’ve ever used).
I can’t believe how close I was to an EGOT. Well, this will only make me try harder, and you know what they say about trying harder. “Trying harder makes people that much more likeable. The most likeable people are the hardest triers. And Lars von Triers also.” – old adage.
Anyways, I’m taking it upon myself to hand out djfreshie’s inaugural thread of the week award. Great thread.
Agreed. Rad thread.
Come here, you son of a bitch
Fun week everyone. I hope you all have a “perfect” weekend.
One day I will make the ball!!! Happy weekend everyone!
Keep at it, heimaey! I always seem to have ball-worthy comments in weeks when there is no ball, like Thanksgiving, and last week. I’m starting to think it’s a conspiracy, but then that makes me feel like a Ron Paul supporter, which just makes me feel sad.
Good job being mentioned by me! You deserve it!I can’t help to share a nice news to you.about My sister ,she just has announced her wedding with a millionaire man who is a celebrity !they met via Richsingleclub.CoM. God ,I can not believe it ..But she success.In fact,it is the largest and best club for celebrity and their admirers to chat online.You do not have to be rich or famous. ,but you can meet one , It’s worthy a try,Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends!
A millionaire man who is a celebrity? Is that me? It sure sounds like me… I’m totally worthy a try, too!
I like you, Tony.
Tony, you are the best.
Maybe that millionaire celebrity brother-in-law of yours can help you finally get that special surgery you’ve always wanted but could never afford. Mazel tov, my friend!
Oh my goodness! It’s like your my annoying little brother that won’t stop copying me. Go to bed you little punk. I’m trying to have fun with my bros!
Also, I just realized that your name backwards is “Rekap? Y Not!”. I’m sure that means nothing though.
Is it weird that my favorite commenter on Videogum is a spambot?
Well, I’ll be damned! As a completist, I needed an Associate Editor’s Choice Award, and there it is! You’re wrong about my father’s friend’s wife though. She is the worst.
0 upvotes? Kiss these comments goodbye, brats!
I was fucking joking, alright¡???? if you saw the comment, you got to be a retard not to know that… and it was mean, but funny!! C’mon… they are Videogum… they can handle it, fuck them!
Congrats on the New True EGOT, Godsauce!
Now start filling the spots of the 2012 Top 50 that you didn’t hit last year.
Thanks!
Exciting. It is! Glad to back make it to balls of monsters. I glad! I love you. Find me! Richsingleclub.CoM.
Done and DONE.
