As we all know, the comment section can be the cherry on top for various types of content. It is an important addition to articles, social media posts, and videos published online. Comments can foster polite discussions among people interested in the same topic, but sometimes they can turn into battlegrounds where individuals argue to prove their point. This often occurs with polarizing subjects, but occasionally it happens with topics that simply have differing opinions.
Beyond interactions between viewers, comments are primarily intended to engage with the content creator. This is especially common on YouTube, where creators encourage their subscribers to leave comments to build a community around a specific topic. Among these comments, we sometimes find gems—humorous remarks that add another layer of enjoyment to a video. Sometimes it’s a funny observation the viewer made while watching, and other times it’s a random remark that makes the content hilarious. The Instagram profile ‘Funny YouTube Comments’ is dedicated to curating the best comments found under various videos.

Bored Panda reached out to Sally-Anne Hayward, an award-winning comedian and a co-host of the Spit or Swallow podcast from the UK. We wanted to discuss some topics related to humor and comedian’s work.
First, we learned what drew Hayward to comedy in the first place, and how she got started in this field: “ I was quite naughty at school and realised I got attention by making people laugh. I then did a degree in Drama which included a module in Stand Up Comedy. I loved this. Immediately after I started out on the open mike circuit and worked my way up to being able to do it for a living. What a ride!”

We were also eager to learn more about the comedian’s inspiration for the jokes she uses in her live performances. Sally-Anne shared with us how she comes up with her material: “For the most part something happens in life and I think 'that could be funny' and I work it up from there. I tend to try stuff out at new material gigs, or if I'm really positive it will work I'll arrogantly put it in a set at a professional show and run with it. If it doesn't work then there is a joke coming to make everybody forget what just happened.”

When asked if Hayward ever found inspiration for her comedy routines from comments or online interactions, she responded briefly: “Absolutely! One person's sincerity is another person's eye roll.”

Lastly, we asked the comedian to share her thoughts on why short, witty comments often get the most laughs. We were curious if there was any comedic principle at play. Hayward answered jokingly: “Because people have no attention span any longer. We are all scrolling to the next thing. That's why I'm keeping these answers shor.....”
