You Get a Trophy, and YOU Get a Trophy

It’s time for the second annual-in-the-same-year Man Repeller Commenter Awards! We host these for two reasons: 1) to feel like Oprah, and 2) because you guys are hilarious. Without you, posts would drop off like cartoon cliffs and everyone’s thoughts would die. With you, however, the conversation carries on. Viva la Internet friends! Now grab your digital BFF and let’s hand out some trophies!

Best Thing to Say in a Moment of Awkward Silence: 

Blakey Bessire on “Flats Are the Short Girl’s Middle Finger”

“Clogs are the shoe mullet. Am I high, am I low, can’t figure me out…. bingo, air of mystery.”

The academy also thought it important to note Blakey’s Disqus picture, which features 2-and-a-cropped happy sloths.

Best Tag-Team Convo-Duo:

Kelsey Moody and Marianne Ronsse  on A Wedding Speech How-To

Kelsey: As one of three girls, we’ve decided on having 2 maids of honors so no one gets left out. At my sister’s wedding, I had to follow my other sister’s speech. She is a professional writer, has her MFA from the New School in Creative Writing and Poetry, so it was a TUUUFFFFF act to follow, since she left everyone in tears. I had a few bullet points as guidelines, zero alcohol in my system (this is KEY for a solid speech), and kept the jokes broad and multi-generationally appropriate…..then, on the d floor, I made besties with the band’s horn section. Success, mic dropped.

Marianne: If you make friends with the band prior to your speech, you can ask them to accentuate every one of your punchlines with the kettledrums.

Best Gif in the History of Ever, plus Caption That Elicits a Global, “Same.”:

Mia Lardiere on Fear of Being Cliché.

“Aiming for nonchalance of this caliber.”

Nicest Compliment That Could Also Possibly Be an App (Shazaam for Eyebrows?):

BK on When You’re a Size 2 But Need Shorts

“Katie where’d you get your eyebrows I need them.”

Best Use of Lyric, Humor and Missy Elliott for An Intense But Important Conversation:

Quinn Halman on Why It’s Great That Amy Schumer Named Her Weight

“I’ve got a cute face

Chubby waist

Thick legs in shape

Rump shaking both ways

Make you do a double take

Planet Rocka show stopper

Flo froppa head knocker

Beat stalla tail dropper

Do my thang motherfuckers”

– M(issy)e(lliott)

Deepest Connection with a Post:

Andrea Raymer on Mickey Boardman’s Fridge

“I feel such kinship with him. The cereal, the grilled cheese, the royalty plates. This is me.”

Best Read Out of Context:

CJKeys2 on Ask a Guy: “I’ve Never Had a Boyfriend”

“Well you haven’t peed on my floor.”
