Do we get Audio Preview for these, too?

Rarely is the question asked.

Pretty good, but it needs to insert random spelling mistakes.

In my day, we had to think for an hour to come up with insults about your mother.

Your mom, however, was good in bed last night, jourman2...

I still find it depressing that something this simple can capture the spirit of about 98% of YouTube comments.

Well, the random Metafilter insult generator would have insults that are about five times as long. Ha!

Aww, not randomly generated.

Also, five to "gay"? Fail.

Youtube comments: Brevity is the soul of gay.

Are there any theories as to why YouTube comments are so universally awful, from a sociological perspective?

It's really kind of fascinating.

Does someone else wanna link to the Penny Arcade "Shitcock," or do I have to?

Needs more racism.

posted by armage at 8:03 PM on June 20

Er... "Fuckwad". Basically the same thing, right, from the Youtube commenter perspective. Hah.
posted by Kikkoman at 8:04 PM on June 20

Yeah, but why YouTube in particular? Not like it's the only popular site with anonymous comments. Hell, it makes Fark look like the Greek Senate.

An all-video site packed with lowest-common denominator material would attract people who can't read or write and who should really just be watching the television and yelling at the screen.
posted by pracowity at 8:06 PM on June 20

The relative accessibility and entertainment value of video vs. random links -- some percentage of which require rudimentary literacy -- might account for some of the disparity.
posted by Kikkoman at 8:09 PM on June 20

If only Youtube had an insult API, we could bring this kind of thing to the rest of the web.

Just remember:

"You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded" = "You're the smartest person in the world"

It's always lovely to see a site which encourages the use of homosexual slurs in order to insult others. Why no nigger, kike, or other such terms included? Surely with all the anti-gay slogans they loaded into this, they could have branched out and gone full-on bigot instead of simple gay bashing.

Not random enough. A true Markov filter of all youtube comments would be a glorious, and hideous beast.

I keep reading the post title as "random YouTube Inuit generator" and wondering how that would work.

(Also, how is "i am bleeding out of my penis" an insult?)

Jessamyn did a talk at SXSW last year(?) about moderating websites and I think she used YouTube as an example of how not to do it. I should like to it but ... (insert randomly generated insult here - surfing on a mobile is frustrating... cut and paste how I miss you.)

My all-time favourite moronic YouTube comment, from a video showing a chocolate egg Rube Goldberg machine:

"Dolphins are starving in Africa and you are wasting food... I had no
Idea we had a raciest working here."
