+ | Replying to a comment with "woosh" generally indicates that there was a joke, and the commenter failed to recognize it — "woosh" is an onomatopoeia for the joke metaphorically "flying over their head". A bot replying to comments with "woosh" at random would be very confusing, as people would search for the nonexistent joke they missed. This is similar to [[559: No Pun Intended]]. | ||
− | + | "Comment of the year," just like the original bot reply, would cause confusion by implying that a random comment is extremely significant. | |
− | " | + | "Are you for real" implies that the commenter (the bot) doesn't believe that the original commenter is serious. (It could also imply that the person to whom the bot is replying to is a famous celebrity, and the commenter wants to know if the person who posted the original comment is a real celebrity and not fake, but this seems unlikely given the context.) |
− | " | + | "I'm taking a screenshot so I can remember this moment forever" adds an implied air of extreme importance, hilarity or significance to a comment. People who read it might assume that there is a hidden joke or meaning somewhere inside the original comment. |
− | + | Although it is not specified as one of [[Randall|Randall's]] hobbies it is clearly related to the [[:Category:My Hobby|My Hobby]] series. | |
