Monsters' Ball: The Week's Best Comments

This week's five highest rated comments as voted on by you, the lowest rated comment as voted on by you, and the editor's choice.

I shouldn't even be here right now. I SHOULD BE GETTING INTO MY COSTUME! If I don't hurry, my facepaint won't be dry before I get to the MOONVIE theater, and everyone will be like "hahah, you look like you're only 3,000 years old!?" I would die from embarrassment, IF I WASN'T ALREADY DEAD. And if I could feel emotions, like embarrassment. This guy knows what I am talking about. TEAM GHOSTS!

Anyway, got to run FLY. (Get it? You get it! DRACULAS!) After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments of the week, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, and the Editor's Choice.

And you can't yell at the line when you fall on the wrong side! I just don't know who you are mad at, unless it is everyone? And that doesn't seem fair. Hush now. Live to fight another day, DS3M.]

DS3M, this is a really gross gif, and totally inappropriate. Maybe you should try a gif of something that everybody will love, without question. For example, delicious fruity SNAPPLE.

It's insane how out of the loop you feel when you miss a few posts. Already you monsters have strange new inside jokes that scare and confuse me. Outoftheloopgum.com is no fun.
