Reading the comments at A.V. Club is one of my guilty pleasures, and it's quips like the following that keep me coming back for more...

Heh!

I kinda like the AV Club commenters, too. I've only lurked there, but have been reading long enough to learn some of the personalities.

I also have been enjoying the AV Club, even more so lately with twitter telling me what's what. Their TV recaps are pretty great reads often.

The comments in the Bret Michaels - Tony Awards debacle article are super good. And mean, but, in a funny way. My favourite kind of mean.

They still do the "First Comment!" thing, though, which annoys me to the point that I don't continue on reading comments.

Yeah...that whole first thing is kinda silly. Also, I'm not sure I understand the whole cancer/fire/AIDS business. But even with all that, I still find lots to chuckle at!

I'm so naming my pretend emo band "Hiding From Bullies".

I came for the snark, but stayed for the info; in other words, yeah sort of funny, but now I'm actually looking forward to that album.

But...

Monsters Of Folk?!

Oh, my. Maybe I'll just re-tag it as M. Ward/Jim James/Conor Oberst and leave it at that.
