You never know what you’re going to come across online. One moment you’re watching an adorable video of puppies playing with one another, and the next, you’re reading about another tragedy in the news. One surprisingly entertaining corner of the internet, however, is the comments section. Comments on videos, articles, social media, they’ll never let you down. And no one knows that better than the members of the Cursed Comments subreddit.

Below, we’ve gathered some of the most hilarious, eyebrow-raising posts from this community that might leave you speechless, so be sure to upvote your favorites and remember to always read the comments!

The internet seems to have an obsession with all things “cursed”: photos, foods and of course, comments. The Cursed Comments subreddit has only been around since April 2018, but it’s already amassed an impressive 3.3 million members, or “cursed individuals” as they refer to themselves. The community has been deemed the “worst subreddit” by Youtuber Pewdiepie, a badge they wear proudly, and their ‘about community’ section states that the group is for “comments that strike the reader into oblivion.”

“Upon seeing a cursed comment, your first reaction should be along the lines of ‘What the F$k did I just read??’ while leaving you speechless at the same time,” the about section goes on to explain. “Incomprehension of the comment just read, or the blatant gruesomeness of it should be enough to not only make you feel mystified but also to draw a smile on your face.” So no, pandas, you might not understand or agree with how all of the comments on this list came to be, but we hope they cause some sort of emotional reaction within you. And without further ado, we present the cursed comments!

This wild subreddit doesn’t have too many rules, as cursed comments can encompass a wide variety of content, but they do have a few guidelines to keep the community in check. First of all, reposts and duplicates will be removed. “Try your best to post new content, and be understanding if someone beat you to it,” the moderators write. Copypasta cursed comments are also banned, as they like to limit the posts in the sub to original content. If any cursed comments are NSFW, they must be appropriately marked as so, and the moderators note that members must refrain from being jerks. Bigotry such as racism, homophobia, transphobia and misogyny are not welcome here. This community may be cursed, but it’s not cruel.

There are also a few accounts who post “staged” cursed comments that are banned. These cursed comments shouldn’t come from anyone looking for shock value; they should be unexpected and spontaneous. You can’t share you own cursed comments in the sub, and the comments must fall under the “cursed” guidelines set by the mods. Deepfried memes are also not welcome in this community, and all posts must begin with the word “Cursed”.

Lucky for us, Bored Panda has previously been able to get in touch with some of the moderators of Cursed Comments, who were kind enough to shine some light on how this subreddit began in the first place. Back in 2020, we had a chat with the creator of the subreddit, who shared, “I founded the subreddit a while back. I actually was going through some memes posted on Reddit and saw a response to a somewhat… ‘fitting’ comment that would be right at home with CursedComments. In a response to the comment, someone joking posted r/CursedComments. I was intrigued and when I clicked on it, the subreddit didn’t exist, so I created it because I thought it was super good.”

The founder went on to tell Bored Panda that they wish they had been clever enough to come up with the name for the community, but once it was created, their only focus was making it a “great experience” for everyone involved. It was first “a sort of ‘self-test’ for breaking into the online space,” they explained. “I began posting [comments] and was loose with the rules to engage content creation and made sure to comment on every post to maximize community engagement.”

Over time, however, the moderator team has had to implement rules to keep the community in line, which is perfectly understandable when you’re dealing with literally millions of Redditor at once. “Posts became more strict, more clear guidelines were established, and branching ‘wings’ such as an Instagram account and discord were set up, both of which still operate,” the founder previously told Bored Panda, going on to note that the subreddit faced some difficulties in the past due to the “sensitive nature” of some of its posts. Today, however, with a great mod team and clear rules, the community is a great place to simply enjoy funny comments (with some dark humor sprinkled in) and relax.

We were also able to get in touch with the moderator team one year ago, the last time we featured this wild subreddit on Bored Panda. One of them had a chat with us about why they believe the community has been so successful. “I think people like it because all throughout the internet, you run across some odd images or videos, and this content may provoke thoughts that you wouldn’t dare say—but someone else did say it,” the moderator shared. “It’s one giant vault of the internet’s best (worst?) cursed comments.”

“They aren’t always the most sensible comments, but they are interesting nonetheless,” the moderator previously told Bored Panda. And that’s totally fine with us, because we’re just here looking for entertainment. As with cursed images and food items, not everything needs an explanation. As long as it gets a reaction out of us, it satiates that bizarre part of us that’s fascinated by what shocks us and confuses us.

“Over the course of our history as a subreddit, we grew naturally for a long time and became a rather large community [on our own, but] then PewDiePie made his first video [about us], and we exploded in popularity,” the moderator previously told Bored Panda. “It’s been an amazing journey watching and helping grow a community like this, and having one of the largest YouTubers in the world make videos on it is pretty incredible.” And it looks like the community isn’t going anywhere any time soon, as it continues to grow and share more and more outrageously cursed comments with the world!
