What’s a Reddit comment you’ve never forgotten?

· 4 min read

Ever scrolled past a comment that stuck in your brain like a meme on a sticky note? We’ve all had those moments: a line that makes you pause, laugh, or question whether you’re still alive. Below is a hand‑picked list of the comments that never left their digital footprints, plus a dash of commentary to keep things spicy. Enjoy the nostalgia trip—no usernames, just pure Reddit gold.

1. “Honestly though, I just tend to be a liker of things.”​

“I decided to like things instead, and it's made a huge difference in both my general happiness and in my awareness of how many things are actually pretty good.”

Why it sticks: This comment is basically the Reddit equivalent of a “positive affirmations” playlist. It’s the kind of wisdom that feels like a gentle nudge from your future self—“Stop judging, start liking.” The author’s shift from criticism to appreciation turned a mundane habit into a lifestyle, and honestly, we could all use a little more “liking” in our lives.

2. “WOW! Very insightful. Thank you!”​

Why it sticks: Classic. It’s the universal “thank you” that pops up when someone hits the sweet spot of relatability. In a sea of elaborate posts, a single “WOW!” is a quick, almost universal acknowledgment that the comment hit the mark. It’s the digital version of a thumbs‑up in a group chat, but with extra flair.

3. “I tend to be a liker of things when it comes to movies (including really shit ones), which bothers some people I know to no end.”​

Why it sticks: The self‑deprecating admission that your liking habits can be a bit… unconventional is oddly endearing. It reminds us that not everyone has the same taste, and that our quirks can be both a source of conflict and a point of connection. Plus, who doesn’t love a movie‑lover who’s not afraid to give a thumbs‑up to a plot‑no‑one‑understands?

4. “In geography sub discussion regarding Mongolia and a guy said and I quote ‘When I was in Mangolia underage prostitutes were banging my hotel door’ and another guy replied ‘To get in or to get out’. I still have screenshot of it and laugh at that comment whenever I visit geography sub.”​

Why it sticks: The absurdity of a comment that is so out‑of‑left‑field it becomes a meme within itself. The follow‑up “To get in or to get out” is the perfect, absurdly witty retort that turns a potentially sensitive topic into a joke. The fact that the original poster still laughs at it months later shows the enduring power of a well‑placed punchline.

5. “Comment? EA's response to someone complaining about Star Wars Battlefront 2. Most down voted comment in Reddit history I believe. Post? Cylinder guy.”​

Why it sticks: This one is a meta‑commentary on the entire Reddit ecosystem—gaming, corporate PR, and the ever‑present “most down‑voted comment” trope. The joke is layered: the “Cylinder guy” reference, the mock‑seriousness of the “EA response”, and the nod to the infamous “most down‑voted comment.” It’s a perfect blend of inside jokes that only the most dedicated Redditors will appreciate.

TL;DR​

A handful of Reddit comments—ranging from self‑help to absurd humor—manage to stick with us long after we’ve scrolled past them. From encouraging us to like more, to poking fun at corporate PR, these snippets remind us why we love the platform: a place where a single line can make you laugh, think, or simply remember that you’re not alone in your quirks. Stay curious, keep scrolling, and maybe one day you’ll find a comment that becomes your new personal mantra.
