Classic funny comments

I was browsing imgur in a random mode on a shitter, when this popped up. Hello easy likes, here I come!
These are all classic, already circulated funnies, but there could be someone who hasn't seen them...

Per company policy you have been denied access to the URL: imgur.comSorry, no like from me.

Hey I get the same. Whee, fun, joy.

So far my favorite comment of the day was at the end of a ~120 line function, where it prepared to return the results of it's calculation...
// NOPE
return 0;Still not sure why not, but apparently NOPE.
-
I think there was a front page article like that:
// that's it! return;
-
I know the robe & wizard hat reference. Is there another level I missed?
-
I would perform the ancient ritual of "Relevant xkcd" (in this case, Monday's comic), but seeing as I only just got around to signing up to Discourse, I have been foiled in this endeavour.

I think there was a front page article like that:
// that's it! return; ```</blockquote> One I still remember from 20+ years ago. Device driver needed to disable interrupts around a critical section of code. H-1 visa developer wrote this comment: ```asm ; When needs must lights outI still don't know what "When needs must" means.

I still don't know what "When needs must" means.
'Needs must' - the meaning and origin of this phrase
The meaning and origin of the phrase 'Needs must'.

Ok, that makes sense. Still, a comment along the lines of this would have been more useful:
; Disabling interrupts. Keep this section as short as possible, no more than N instructions, ; because Windows will crash if interrupts are disabled for more than X ms.

Obviously inspired by (multiple) xkcd:

No doubt, but it's elegant because it expresses the concept (if you know the idiom) in fewer words.
I actually like the comment, probably because I already understood the idiom. If I didn't I'd probably agree with you.
And of course, your comment is actually technically superior because it's clearer.
-
I once saw a comment in a C switch statement (this was DOS code, so it was processing keyboard inputs). The default case comment (meaning the character typed was an invalid command) was "quit dickin' around".

According to this post, Discourse uses http://highlightjs.org/static/test.html for syntax highlighting, and according to that page, it supports x86asm. Sure doesn't look like it from that code block, even with explicit hinting.
-

And the bit about not having too many instructions in the critical section was important information that should have been documented at the point it was needed. We learned that the hard way.

I am also at the mercy of IT goons, so you get the like instead of @cartman82.

Agh, foiled by the internet filters! Curse you, corporate IT, you defied me for the last time!
-
Ok, Adria.

-
OK, then I'm not sure what you think wooshed, because like I said I was aware of that and countered reference with references...
-
Gazebos?

(Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_and_the_Dread_Gazebo; it is apparently embellished, though based on a real occurrence)

+1 for the Blackadder reference Baldrick!

All the images are screenshots of text, namely source code, mostly comments.
Some of them are taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/184618/what-is-the-best-comment-in-source-code-you-have-ever-encountered
-
Just as a, you know, idea... since the entire slideshow is images of text, maybe you could have... just typed the text?
-
With all the different comment syntax, I'd kind of like to see how Discourse would render that.
Not enough to actually type them out of course...
-
Mine's worded slightly differently, but same type thing.

Just as a, you know, idea... since the entire slideshow is images of text, maybe you could have... just typed the text?
But you know, that would require some actual work, as opposed to just dropping a link and reaping that sweet sweet likes.

For those who cant see due to workplace policies (@chubertdev), or who just don't want to go through a slideshow (@blakeyrat), I give you this gift. Please note that I did my best to reproduce the originals, including typos.

// If this comment is removed the program will blow up
Easy to explain:
The Erlking
Visual Basic’s error handling is its own special WTF in itself. For those that haven’t had to suffer through it, you can set the error-handling mode with a special On Error statement. For example, On Error Resume Next, is a delightful statement that tells Visual Basic to simply ignore errors, and...
