Best Comments of 2014

Did you know that every time you drop a comment on a Joffre The Giant post, I silently judge you? It's true. Then I decide if your comment was worthy of a Best of the Year post. And good news, dear reader. You made it. Because your wit is sharp and your nib is pointed.

I garnered these from this here blog, my YouTube channel, my Twitterz, and my Facebook page. But not my Instagram or Pinterest, because that would have been too much of a pain. Also, I had to stop reviewing comments on YouTube before I got to June, so if you said something brilliant in April, tough tooties.

Go ahead, my friend, read on. Enjoy your own cleverness.

And thanks for commenting, guys. Seriously. I value your feedback. Only a tiny fraction comment, of course, but that tiny fraction really motivates me. Special kudos to the YouTube guys, who do not hesitate to drop a dime.

"Doing a review of 'Gentleman Caller' topless... as though nature (and the sunshine) were your newborn child with whom you desired to bond skin-to-skin. Nice. Though - the best quote of your video was at 8:07 where you say 'Hey - I'm in the mood for a gentleman caller.' Someone less scrupulous might save your video and cut out that clip (out of context of course) to roast you at a later time."
Gup Piper, YouTube

"What's with pipe smoking and christianity? I mean really, here almost the entire pipe club I'm a member of, are kinda christians, theologians etc. Including myself. There is a pattern for the pipe smokers, beards, knives, christianity all pipe smoking forums are alike, same topic, same kind of people, I begin to worry. And it's the same everywhere."

"I understand your criticism of the side hug, but we short people appreciate the side hug. At a mere 5 feet tall I struggle with regular hugs (sometimes even from my husband) because my face lands smack in the middle of the chest resulting in suffocation and much discomfort and awkwardness. It's bad enough being extremely short, please don't suffocate us."

"I think the last time I went to the dentist was around 10 years ago when it was still free for my mum to take me. Since then I haven't had a problem that a bit of Ibuprofen hasn't solved. I've noticed that people do seem to consider it something of an outrage that I don't have regular dentist check ups, but haters gonna hate."
