I have to say, JokeExplainer helped me out once or twice.
42
Darn tooting. Even if JokeExplainer isn't there, I still credit him/her for any and all explained jokes by any other redditor. Pure genius.

Nice try joke-explainer's alter ego.
10
The original.

Don't know why you're being downmodded. You're right.
He has been part of some classics, like this gem.

I humbly accept your nomination.
1
I wish he would talk to my mom :/

Am I the only one who wasn't sure if he really was a novelty account?
37
not at all.
at first.
7
I want to nominate Bozarking for something but he doesn't exactly fall under "best commenter." He comments like a novelty account, but without the punny name
6
Most insane redditor?
9
Teehee!
18
They're probably brother and sister or something.
2
Making it non-sexual and silly...
1
For what? Seriously, I just looked through his comments, and I don't see why people keep referring to him.

Search his name here.
1
For some reason, that site isn't working for me.
1
Hm. Works OK here.
Anyway, here's a screenshot of his top three comments. They're... unique.

It is an honor
To reside among the best
True Reddit legends

lookofdissaproval has good comedic timing but that is all.
tldrhaiku has mad skills
5
Is there really such thing as comedic timing on a forum?
2
I guess one could call it "comedic placement".
5
by far my most favorite novelty account. Hilarious!

10k comment karma in 24 hours.
Best post/comments I've ever seen on reddit.
edit: corrected the link
204
Edit: That thread has also been nominated as Submission of the Year which may be a more appropriate award.
37
I don't really care which, as long as he wins something.
4
Man, I loved DrMartyMcFly, that thread was so much fun.
6
Hilarious. Scifi Jeopardy.
3
That name has nothing to do with the link you posted.
2
Fixed it.

You disapprove of your nomination?
Or is your face stuck like that?
23
The nominator forgot to escape the underscores.
32
I think that you are taking JokeExplainers job.

A novelty account of a novelty account, I love cook!
6
You mispeled "cock".
25
You misspelled misspe... Wait a second!

Well, he started as a novelty account, but he actually posts normal comments too. And the whole redditor for x months, approved thing sort of went out of style.
Still, he had great comments.
8
I see that thing more and more now...

Spoiler: It's Possibility_Of_Troll

This would be quite devastating to PROBABILITY_OF_TROLL.

I just found out that you are my friend, apparently. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?
1
I already know who wins.
60
Then I guess you already know that I lock you up.

52
He's out of his jurisdiction.
54
Give me the name of your supervisor, officer.
36
I'm not an officer, I'm the department.
24
where is recursion police when we need him.
9
[dispargingly] Rookies.
5
I feel like a proud father, being there for the birth of that account.
sniff
10
Our boy sure has grown up quickly.
2
He branched out of our department once I was formed.

Well this certainly makes my job a lot easier.
39
joke-explainer as opposed to "JokeExplainer" the knockoff account.
(Reposting as top-level comment from GlueBoy's nomination here)

metsrulesonearth, the guy that posts all the trucks.
20
this man unwavering love of big ass trucks leads me to believe that he is not a novelty at all but rather a man who just really likes big ass trucks.
16
Chivary is dead. -Someone
Meh I still like it. -Necrophiliac, RIP
19
I don't think Necrophiliac really was a novelty account, he just used his name for comedy purposes sometimes.
either way, here's an upvote in hopes that he gets some sort of trophy :)

I ask you, please keep using that account. Keep it alive and active. This way, they won't delete it and reclaim it as their own for the best of 2010 awards. =]

Damn it, who took bestof2011?

ಠ_ಠ
Wow, he's been around less than an year? I'll absolutely vote for him.
I wont be, Fuck P-Dub, he posted this 4 days later after his crap sob story, http://i.imgur.com/p6Eb2.jpg "Emergency notice of suspension of teacher" which says the suspension will be with pay until further action by the board of education, After further action she was terminated and was offered to be paid up for the semester, I wonder what she did to get the emergency notice of suspension, but P-Dubs story says "In summation, My mom's school district fired her, broke her contract because she was not in the union".
He should get the troll of the year award
EDIT And then P-Duped and his sock puppets down voted me as soon as i posted for pointing out the obvious discrepancy is his story, you are farkin funny P-Duped
What does anything in this thread have to do with me, other than I made the post?
Exactly.
Why do I only see little boxes that say "OCAO" with an underscore in between? I see this all the time, but I'm pretty sure it looks wrong.
If you are on a mac, installing the Kannada font set will let you see the famous look.
Thank you.
I've tried to get that font installed at least 10 times and it never seems to work. Is there some other step besides putting it in /Library/fonts?
After you install it, you need to set your browser (I use Firefox, so I don't know if this is true for Safari or Chrome) to use the font. On Firefox for mac it's under the 'Content' tab in the preferences window.
Download the font from that site. When it comes up in the Downloads window, double click on it. A new box should come up giving you the option to Install.
Maybe it's different for you, but I just tried it and it worked fine.
Saving this comment, so when I get off bootcamp I can install it on my mac. Don't mind me! :)
It is wrong. You have to get some sort of language pack on Macs and some other computers... I can't remember what it is, unfortunately.
Pretend this wasn't on a t-shirt, its the right image
You shouldn't be downvoted. I was in the same boat, and surely there are more Mac users out there without the right font support.
o yeah. i had no idea. lol.
um i thought that was the look of disapproval.
Sadly, no. I think the look of disapproval actually uses hindi text recognition, but I installed Kannada at the instruction of flipdagger and now get to see it correctly.
yeah that page wouldnt load. ill try again. thanks.

There can be no other choice. He's on the freaking Reddit crest.
I never understood why he was so popular. He had one good idea which he mindlessly exploited every chance he got. The only good thing he did was slow down his commenting after a couple of months.
Dude what do you think a novelty account is for?
Exhibiting more than a little imagination.

Actually, it happens all the time.
He was definitely the most enduring and his meme lives on without him. Look of disapproval should win.
its an old 4chan meme, but everything seems to be new and exciting for reddit. i am disappoint.
Well, he definitely brought it to Reddit. I didn't say he was particularly innovative, just that it had staying power.
The first time I remember seeing it was probably in 2006 on (embarrassing admission) the WoW forums.
This needs to be downmodded less, or upvoted more, or whatever it is, exactly, that will make this not only the top comment but the best comment as well.
I feel bad because so many good novelties are new this year (tldrhaiku, jokeexplainer, hell ill throw in bozarking although I hope he isn't novelty and is actually just a crazy man), but if anyone other than look gets it, then the voting was rigged and the awards should be cancelled.
