It’s time for one of this site’s most beloved traditions: the annual commenting awards!

Here’s how it works. I’ll make a subthread for each of the categories listed below. Submit your nominations for each category as a reply, and upvote the ones you want to win. At the end of voting period at noon EST on December 28th, the nominee with the most upvotes will win the category. (You can upvote your own nominees. We here at The Avocado believe in self-love.)
