As would be expected, there are some real "gems" in the comments section.

Ha ha - they're so mad about it!

I think those AV Club people are pretty funny usually, and I even thought that the comments that Tom read were funny. But they sure seem like a pretty humorless bunch in that comment section.

They're still all fired up about it and are spitting out increasingly tortured defenses of why it's ok for them to be upset about it and why Tom is a big bully for picking on them, its hilarious.  "He's famous, he shouldn't get to pick on non-famous anonymous twerps!"

Those comments are an embarrassing low for the AV Club commenters, which is saying something.

I like the users that are now claiming that they post things at avclub that are purposely unfunny.

Ugh.  The comments from the Scharpling/Wurster showcase are even worse.  http://www.avclub.com/articles/scharpling-wurster-pick-their-favorite-best-show-g,91510/ (http://www.avclub.com/articles/scharpling-wurster-pick-their-favorite-best-show-g,91510/)
