Indeed, this comment in particular was the top reply that had 12+ upvoted before later being downvoted.

"Are you trying to be clever, are you a dumb ass or something else? Is this some funny youtube shit that is above my understanding?"

The exaggerated lack of intelligence in my original comment was really obvious. The fact that people didn't get the joke was what was concerning.

I might be missing something, but it looks like you missed the parent commenter's joke.
I'm having a hard time seeing anything of interest in the whole thread, funny or otherwise. Who are these people who see a comment with 600 upmods or 80 downmods and think, "Yeah, I better add my vote to that gross consensus."
Jokes don't have to be funny to be recognized as jokes.
Wow. I wonder if HN will follow this trend too. Reddit was nothing like this just 2 years ago.
