1.1.4. d

1.5.1. 1: Makes Sexual Innuendo
1.5.1.1. a
1.5.1.1.1. attempts humor by taking material from the link and/or comments out of its original context and adding suggestive commentary, thereby recasting the material's original meaning in a sexual light.
1.5.1.2. b
1.5.1.2.1. is a double entendre; the commenter in responding to the question posed by the submission's title comments on the degree to which the submitter successfully implemented a standard meme format, using language that is also commonly used to indicate a successful sexual liaison--which may be considered innuendo in this context because the submission contains imagery that is titilating to Reddit's majority SFMCISACAIQA"SLEC" (sub-forty, male, caucasian, internet savvy, areligious, cisgendered, average IQ or above, "socially liberal, economically conservative") audience.

1.5.4.1. a
1.5.4.1.1. generates a humorous response by offering a plausible explanation for the ironic circumstances presented in the submitted link's subject matter, with said explanation achieving its effect by being simultaneously logical, gramatically, and absurd, cynologically.

1.5.5.1. a
1.5.5.1.1. humorously leverages a theme of the submission's subject matter as a springboard for quoting material from an otherwise unrelated source that reflects said theme; moreover, by leaving the quote unattributed, the comedic flavor is heightened in those readers who recognize the source from memory because a sense of satisfaction is derived from being an intimate party to an inside joke, and by selecting a source that is widely received by the public, the comment is guaranteed great breadth of approbation.

1.8.1. 1: Meta-Reddit

1.9. 9: Insightful Comment
1.9.1. 1: Hivemind Analysis
1.9.1.1. a
1.9.1.1.1. thoroughly dissects two of the epiphenomenal features of the mental inclinations of several tens of thousands of majority SFMCISACAIQA"SLEC" (sub-forty, male, caucasian, internet savvy, areligious, cisgendered, average IQ or above, "socially liberal, economically conservative") individuals; namely, a 1) preference for provocative emotional discussion over conscientious substantive analysis, and 2) adherence to a worldview dominated by the idealization of certain strictly demarcated moral domains.
1.9.2. Untitled
1.10. 10: Ambiguous Comment
1.10.1. 1: Ambiguous Sarcasm
1.10.1.1. a
1.10.1.1.1. uses a common indicator of sarcasm, a normally exhortative phrasing couched in a declarative sentence, to express an idiomatic phrase that describes a course of passive response, which is counter to the factual circumstances described in the submitted link. Ultimately this leads subsequent readers, who may be puzzled by the comment's intentions or misunderstand the common idiomatic usage of the phrase, to nonetheless interpret said comment in a favorable manner simply to escape the turmoil of mental uncertainty.
1.11. 11: Corrects Misinformation
1.11.1. 1: Desensationalization
1.11.1.1. a
1.11.1.1.1. utilizes the commenter's superior knowledge and mastery of the disciplinary skills germane to the submitted issue to extract specific counterfactuals capable of deflating a sensationalized link title that displayed a deficient understanding of industry terminology and usage.
1.11.2. 2: Clarifies Distinction
1.11.2.1. a
1.11.2.1.1. helpfully corrects an error in terminological distinction that was being perpetuated by other commenters without the benefit of the commenter's relevant industry experience (of which evidence is provided), in order to 1) uphold certain dimininishing principles of integrity in his professed discipline and to 2) prevent unsophisticated readers from subconsciously assigning excessively undeserved weight to one mode of expression over another.
1.11.3. 3: Identifies Omission
1.11.3.1. a
1.11.3.1.1. identifies the glaring incompleteness in the submission's content that the average reader would likely gloss over were it not pointed out, and magnifies the effect of such revelation through the simple but deft application of an archetypical character juxtaposed with an appropriately phrased and delivered textual comment.
1.12. 12: Makes Public Apology
1.12.1. 1: Credit Acknowledgement
1.12.1.1. a
1.12.1.1.1. expresses chagrin for having reposted memetic flotsam, describes the circumstances which led him to act in such a manner, and provides proper accreditation to at least one known source. [Note: The Reddit Comment Rating Agency feels compelled to indicate that while the submitter, given his described degree of knowledge, was technically acting within the bounds of § 2.6 of the Rediquette Guidelines and was not required to post a defense of his actions, it is nevertheless a community norm to preventatively do so due to the hostility with which such shameless reposting is met with.]
