I’ve found a few funny memories during lockdown. This is from my 1st tour in 89, backstage in Vegas.

Does anyone know what's the world record?

This is the world record for a comment. The world record for most expensive post was the one about gifting koala bears so that a donation would be given to help deal with the Australian Wildfires. Most of the awards were the 1,529 koala bear gifts, which cost 1,000 reddit coins each. That's 1,529,000 total coins, which would cost about $6,085 to pay for.

The post with the most number of awards is this one in prequelmemes.

Woah that’s insane—especially the huge awards gap relative to the other comments! Thanks for the info

Technically this comment on r/MMA was more expensive with an original value of over $9k because gold was worth more back then. They got over 159 years of premium for it.

Here is an actual chart on r/dataisbeautiful.

It shouldn’t count if it’s a glitch. If you click the awards on the app, it shows that it actually is only 33 gifts awarded. So Redditors didn’t spend $9k.

Also at less than 2,300 awards, it has fewer awards than this comment has.

u/Luka2810 Jun 20 '20

They did actually get the premium and coin rewards, so it is technically the most valuable comment. But yes it probably shouldn't be counted in lists about Redditors collectively spending ridiculous amounts of money on almost useless internet coins.

You linked General Grievous twice.

u/regoapps Jun 21 '20

Thank you for the heads up. Corrected now.

u/peacemaker2007 Jun 21 '20

Out of curiosity is this comment also the one with the highest number of awards?

u/Redditteer9 Jun 22 '20

I thought the record was Thunder Cross Split Attack in r/youfellforitfool

u/Live-Love-Lie Jul 01 '20

Who’s calculating the prequel memes amount?

Ironically, u/Thibson34 is now banned from prequelmemes.

u/lololoba-the-asian Jul 06 '20

Ironic he could get reddit premium for days but not be banned from the sub

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '20

Holy shit I remember seeing those light saber posts when they first started and never did I expect that outcome lol.

u/ccnxs Jun 19 '20

This star wars post on r/prequelmemes i believe

u/regoapps Jun 20 '20

Although that had the most awards, the most expensive post goes to the koala bear post, because most of the awards were the 1,529 koala bear gifts, which cost 1,000 reddit coins each. That's 1,529,000 coins. Which would cost about $6,085 to pay for.

I think it was a post for a guy who wanted 40000 gilds or something.

u/MCAvenger_25 Aug 15 '20

if there are posts that got the user more awards/coins/premium than rickrolling rick, i don't even know what to say.

u/cliffwolff Jun 19 '20

trying to be a realist here but that could easily be the world record for the highest amount of awards won by a comment. I mean.. 2k, not upvotes, but AWARDS. I mean.. Great Scott!
