Welcome back to BroBible’s COMMENTS OF THE WEEK!
Our articles here at BroBible are only half the fun, so every Wednesday we’re rounding up the funniest, sharpest, and most passionately unhinged comments left directly on our site. Here is the absolute best of this week.
Also, stay tuned. We’re going to roll out a forum here at BroBible soon. Can’t wait to take some of these discussions to the next level!
1. The Great Sports Spectacle Showdown
Additional Context: With the US hosting the upcoming World Cup, European soccer purists are crying online about the “Americanization” of the sport—complaining about pre-game flyovers, light shows, and halftime shows. When one commenter tried to put us in our place, BroBible’s own Brandon Wenerd stepped in.
The Comments
whs1954 says: “Dear Mr American We don’t go to football matches to watch flyovers or light shows or half-time shows, we come to watch football and nothing else.”
And then, here I am defending our god-given right to patriotic game-day mayhem… U-
Brandon Wenerd says: “Awww. How quaint and principled. We go to scream our throats out and drink a disgusting amount of beers out of aluminum cans. And… we have the best time ever doing it too.”
The Verdict
This is a first-ballot Hall of Fame response from Brandon. Imagine thinking that having less stadium entertainment is a badge of honor. We wake up at 5:00 AM to park an F-150 in a muddy field, consume three times our body weight in smoked meats, and drink enough cheap domestic lager out of aluminum cans to kill a small Victorian child—all before kickoff. We’ll be over here watching a B-2 stealth bomber buzz a stadium of 100,000 screaming lunatics. USA!
2. The Golf Historian’s Knowledge Drop
The Post: The 9 Most Unlikely Winners In U.S. Open History
Additional Context: The U.S. Open is notorious for chewing up golf legends and leaving the door open for chaotic underdogs. Reader Scott Zentner stepped into the comments to act as our unofficial golf historian, rounding out our list with some incredible deep-cuts.
The Comment
Scott says: “Great list. I had only heard of Ed Furgol by name and didn’t know the backstory. And Jack Fleck beating Hogan by 3 in the playoff was a real-life David vs Goliath event. As an honorable mention, I might add Andy North to the group just to round up to an even Top 10. Won the US Open, not once but twice, despite having only one other official PGA Tour win in his long career. Finally, Lou Graham’s win in 1975, was quite remarkable, coming from 11 strokes behind Tom Watson after 36 holes. Lou passed away quietly last month, just as he lived his life as a humble champion and quiet mentor to fellow veterans and junior golfers.”
The Verdict
Scott didn’t just read the article; he basically wrote the expansion pack. That Andy North stat is mind-blowing—winning only three official PGA Tour events in your entire career, and two of them are the U.S. Open. That is the golf equivalent of only showing up to class on the day of the midterm and the final, acing them both, and walking out with a degree. Shoutout to Scott for keeping the history alive and bringing some genuine class to the comments.
3. The Tartan Army’s Global PR Win
Additional Context: While a bewildered Scottish fan was trying to process why NFL cheerleaders were doing high kicks at a soccer match, reader Robert MacFann jumped in to give some well-deserved flowers to Scotland’s traveling supporters—affectionately known as the Tartan Army.
The Comment
Robert says: “The Tartan Army is honestly one of the best adverts Scotland has. Wherever they go, they bring colour, humour, and a proper sense of community—kilts, songs, and all. It’s not just noise either; their reputation for friendliness and even supporting local charities sets them apart from most fan groups. That’s why Americans (and plenty of others) take to them so quickly. They don’t just turn up for the football—they embrace the host country, mix with locals and make it a shared celebration. You hear plenty about football fans causing trouble, but the Tartan Army has flipped that narrative over the years. At the end of the day, they represent something people connect with: loyalty through thick and thin, a bit of self-deprecating humour, and knowing how to enjoy the occasion. No surprise they win people over wherever they travel.”
The Verdict
Robert is absolutely spot on. While typical fan culture can lean a bit too far into toxic tribalism, the Tartan Army is a breath of fresh, kilt-breezy air. They show up by the tens of thousands, drink the host city completely out of lager, sing songs until their vocal cords collapse, and then somehow end the night raising thousands of dollars for local charities. They are professional-grade party animals with hearts of absolute gold.
4. The Anti-Gatekeeping Gourmet
Additional Context: With inflation decimating everyone’s dining budgets, a new trend has taken over social media: adults ordering off the kids’ menu to score cheaper entrees. Casual dining spots have started cracking down, resulting in hilarious internet outrage. Enter Baja Bumming, who stepped in with some pure common sense.
The Comment
Baja Bumming says: “Why not truthfully market smaller portions for kids, older people and dieters as just that — smaller portions — and let anyone order them?”
The Verdict
Baja Bumming is speaking straight truth. Why is there so much corporate gatekeeping over portion sizes? If I want a 4-ounce steak and a small side of fries because I’m not trying to slip into a sodium-induced food coma at 2 PM, why do I have to pretend I’m ordering for a hypothetical 8-year-old named “Billy”? Restaurants would actually make a killing if they just rebranded these as “light portions” and charged a fair, slightly marked-up price for them.
5. The Cast-Iron Financial Guru
Additional Context: A viral video showed a woman breaking down in tears after her Uber Eats delivery from Burger King went horribly wrong. But while some are crying over lukewarm fries, reader Timothy Sorsdahl jumped in with a full financial breakdown of why he quit fast food to build a domestic culinary empire out of his kitchen.
The Comment
Timothy says: “With inflation, high interest rates, Iran war, fuel prices going up, high grocery prices, carbon taxes, high rents/mortgage payments and stagnant wages people have to find ways to cut back. I used to eat at burger king all the time, but the prices of a meal went up and my wages stayed the same, so I decided to invest in a cast iron pan and stainless steel egg flipper/spatula and went to the grocery store and bought a box of sirloin burger patties, a dozen eggs, a dozen hamburger patties, a pound of bacon, a package of sliced swiss cheese, a bag of french fries or tater tots, a bag of onions, 3 tomatoes and decided to make my own hamburgers for evening and egg sandwiches for breakfast. I now use tomato and onion for both meals and have a higher quality meal then eating out. I stated in October and have saved about $3000, which I have been buying stocks with. I did the math once for breakfast, I think my meal came to $3.30 and my supper was like $4 something. I suspect that Burger King and McDonalds have been slower when people stop going there to eat. Eating at home and paying myself first, I’m eating better and saving a lot of money too.”
The Verdict
I applaud Timothy’s hostile takeover tactics for his personal finances. While the rest of us are out here dropping $18 on a lukewarm, squished fast-food meal that leaves us filled with immediate physical regret, Timothy bought a cast-iron skillet and went to war against inflation. Saving $3,000 since October and immediately dumping those funds into the stock market is a legendary, high-level pivot. Invest in cast iron, buy stocks, pay yourself first. Absolute legend behavior.
6. Some Real-Talk about Tipping (Again)
The Post: Server Says If You Do These Things, You Are Probably A Bad Tipper: ‘SUPER SUPER FRIENDLY’
Additional Context: A viral video made the rounds with a server claiming that customers who are overly chatty and friendly right out of the gate are secretly plotting to leave a terrible tip. Reader Lethal Knelt isn’t buying the generalizations, pointing out that excellent tipping shouldn’t require playing pretend.
The Comment
Lethal Knelt says: “Blah, the article was a bunch of Conjecture and way out of touch. My father-in-law will order water for everybody and leaves 30%. I’ll leave 25% but I don’t want to play pretend with the fake friendly servers. In addition – us old people actually worked in restaurants also and are unimpressed by young people’s work ethic. Plops plate on table, forgets refills, never seen again until they bring the bill. Then oh so fake friendly.”
The Verdict
This is an elite-tier take on tipping culture, which is becoming a bit of a trend for COMMENTS OF THE WEEK. I’m not surprised that everyone has a hot take about tipping these days.
The fake, over-the-top restaurant choreography is exhausting for absolutely everyone involved. We don’t need a new best friend; we just need our water glasses refilled. He is also 100% spot on about the modern “ghost server” phenomenon… the server who drops your food, completely vanishes into the shadow realm for 45 minutes while you dehydrate, and then reappears with a blinding, megawatt smile the exact second the credit card presenter hits the table.
7. How To Not Get Blacklisted In Hollywood
Additional Context
Obsession is officially the breakout indie horror sensation of the year, bringing in huge box office returns on a shoestring $750k budget. But a massive industry-wide debate erupted when the film’s Art Director went viral to complain about making just under $7k for her work. Reader A J Sharp stepped in with a lesson on professional PR survival.
The Comments
A J Sharp says: “Sally, here’s what you should have posted instead: ‘I am so proud of Obsession, where I was the Art Director. It has definitely become The Little Movie That Could, and I hope everyone goes to see it. It’s terrific, if I do say so myself. LOL Looking for the next project I can believe in as I believed in this one. It’s like a dream come true to see Obsession do so well.'”
And then, looking at the actual economics of independent film risk…
A J Sharp says: “Well, at least she has pretty much guaranteed she will never work again. Maybe she should have offered to take no money up front in exchange for 0.1% of the back end. With a budget of $750,000 and her making $9,000 (before taxes), more than 1% of the budget, they might have gone for that. And she would now have $250,000 for her trouble. But hey, no risk, no reward.”
The Verdict
A J Sharp just delivered a brutal, much-needed reality check on the entertainment business. Let’s start with comment number one: that draft caption is absolute PR gold. In the entertainment industry, reputation is everything. If you are the Art Director on a tiny, micro-budget movie that miraculously explodes, you leverage that credit to land high-paying studio gigs and double your day rate next time. Publicly trashing the production on Instagram is essentially a fast-track ticket to the Hollywood blacklist.
I work with a lot of TV and movie production people here in Los Angeles. My buddy has one of those great sayings: “People want to work with easygoing people.” No one wants to work with locker room cancer, especially in something so emotionally draining like production. Yes, it sucks to not get a slice of that pie, but, at the same point in time, you just gotta keep your ego in check and carve yourself off a piece of the next pie that comes your way, thanks to your previous work.
No rear-view mirrors.
