As many of you know, Videogum’s comment voting system has been on the fritz ever since Wednesday’s zero-out. It’s been a tough time but thank the Lord in Heaven that we all have each other to get us through, and we do see a light (some time early next week?) at the end of this tunnel of nonrecognition. But! Because of the voting system failure, we do not have a Monsters’ Ball to present to you today. I’m so sorrryyyeeeeeeee! DOWN-VOTE DOWN-VOTE DOWN-VOTE! But instead of looking at this as the lack of a comment reward institution that you’ve come to look forward to and rely on to kick-start your weekend with the knowledge of both who had the #4 highest rated comment and also who had the lowest, WHY NOT JUST LOOK AT IT LIKE A FUN NO-RULES PARTY?!?! The fact is that even though there has been no way for any of you to get a thumbs-up in the past few days, you have all still been actively showing the world that you are honest-to-goodness the best commenters on the whole internet. So maybe pick out some comments YOU’D like to highlight? Or don’t even do that and just post a GIF of someone dancing! Whatever you want. You only live once, and you should live that life WITH FREEDOM! Just no malware please LOL.

STEREOGUM STILL DID IT VIDEOGUM WHY U SLACKIN?
EGOTs for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When no one wins, everyone does!
The idea that Death is saying this to all of us makes me like it even more. It’s like Death took a holiday or some other campy concept…
Reaper Man is an excellent book and I’ll not have its concept maligned!
Reaper Man is a wonderful book. I’ll stand with you, OMF.
Hey I didn’t even eat the salmon mousse!
We are all winners this week. (JK we’re all winners EVERY week)
Everyone gets a thumbs up from me. And, yes, I *am* Emma Stone.
I say keep the no-votes! It’s made me stop scrolling for the highest-rated comments to get quick laffs and read most/all of them. You guys are all very funny and insightful regardless of the number next to your comment! The no-votes has kinda reinvigorated my love for VG. Not that it was ever gone, but it’s like going on a nice romantic getaway with your partner and realizing why you’re with them in the first place.
What about making it so you don’t have to be logged in to upvote? Sometimes I just come to upvote without commenting because you guys are funny. And I think that way commenters would play more towards a larger audience not just other commenters?
I guess I like to upvote things just to show my appreciation. I don’t think I’ve downvoted in years. I even upvote Gibberish-speaking spambots because they amuse me.
There’s really no sort of logic at play here so I don’t know why I’m trying to find any.
I think that’s a good idea but what about also this: What if you couldn’t see other people’s upvotes until the ball?
I do love some suspense
I would love that.
i am upvoting this in my mind.
I’m also upvoting this in your mind. I found this portal and I’m gonna be selling tickets. That’s okay, right? Now do something interesting.
this is a beautiful sentiment! Is it wrong that I just want to upvote it?
I am so in love with the Google GIF search. It’s going to make finding dancing GIFs every week a lot easier!
Great job as usual, guys!
Hey, is tinychat still a thing that happens?
yes, it’s happening right now!
Where’s the link?
For the first time, Videogum became my tech news source with this animated GIF search feature. Thanks Kelly!
Something something Pug Avengers!
I feel so bad for our friend on the right.
Let’s have a Monsters’ Choice thread!
This was my favorite.
Apparently I fail at links, but it’s Frank Lloyd Wrong’s Joplin joke.

He won my commenting heart as well.
Bored because I wasn’t getting any upvotes, I followed links to old videogum posts, and I found this exchange between R2 and Kajus. I am still laughing:

My favorite comment of the week was both times truckasaurus posted that cat getting in the bathtub and freaking out! And also when Queen of the Sorry People thought Harry Styles was Alyssa Milano. AND ESPECIALLY when artdork, mannerrrrrsss and I decided to meet up for trivia on Tuesday. Ack! I’m so excited I’m so scared! Any other Boston Monsters come meet us! We’ll all be wearing chrysanthemums in our lapels!
Boston meet up! Woot! I’ll have my trivia hat on (full disclosure, I don’t have a trivia hat)!
Also, if we need a team name, I propose triviagum. Or Cumberbitches (sorry Manners).
Um, I object to Cumberbitches, because I find him unattractive. I can say that because there’s no votes! Can we still be friends? Also, Triviagum is almost TOO good.
You’ll be fine. Ladies love cool Benedict. Plenty of fish in the sea for you.
Ummm. I’m here. And I love you.
I’ll comfort you Benny!
Full disclosure, this gif is the one time I’ve thought B.Cumberbatch was attractive. Hahahahaha with no downvoting, I feel so liberated.
Wow. Straining this friendship already. It’s fine. Just one less woman I have to take down.
I’m just being honest! You need to be able to trust your trivia teammates!
Yes. We must be able to rely on each other if we are to defeat…the other teams…whose names I don’t know yet…
boston trivia meet up!? this is very exciting but i am working tuesday night. where are you triviaing?
Flann O’Brien’s? I’ve never been but evidently mannerrrssssss knows the trivia master. I’m sure we’ll do something again, unless we all murder each other or one of us smells real bad or something. Don’t give up hope!
i used to live down the street from flann’s a few years ago, they had excellent steak and eggs for like $5 on sunday mornings. have fun!
Congrats winners – you’re just like God you don’t exist! – someone on Reddit
PARTY!!! AND POSE LIKE A LADY!
Stay classy, San Diego.
Can we just always post dancing gifs from now on? Can that just be our response to everything?
For those who are curious, I’ve uploaded the “Frank Lloyd Wright” song from my story yesterday.

I was curious! Thanks!
I was crazy curious! And oh, boy, did this deliver.
I’m so nervous. First time posting an animated gif. Hope it works, but if it doesn’t, no down votes! Such freedom!
This guy knows what you are talking about:
Good job! You did it!
Woo-hoo! Now when I die I’ll have no regrets!
OMG it werked
wallflower: Help! How did you load this GIF? I’m trying copying and pasting my won GIF, and it’s not working!
It’s Friday, do whatever you want, even if that thing is you and your friend dressing up as a giant zebra in your backyard!
Upvote!
Buzzmedia’s dev team is by far the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure of working adjacent to. I wouldn’t hold your breath for this to get fixed.

Is this it?
I just right clicked on the photo and clicked “open in new tab” and then copy and pasted the link from there.
You just have to make sure you get to the original image and that the link ends in .gif and isn’t super long. That’s what she said? Is that still a thing. Anyway, hope that helps!
Thanks, wallflower. I will try that. (That’s what she said–upvote.)
I’m going to pretend I EGOTed today, so yay me! Happy Friday and Happy Weekend, y’all!
