Formulas for "highest rated" Youtube comments

Have you noticed that all of the comments that are rated the highest on youtube videos follow the same pattern?  To engineer such a comment, you must either play on people's emotions or their sense of feeling important/belonging to a club.  Examples follow:

"Thumbs up if you (insert something to do with the song.)"

"Justin Beiber sucks and (insert name of artist) rocks!"

"(# of people) were crying so hard that they missed the like button/listen to Justin Bieber/need to go die in a hole."        *note: said  # is slightly lower than the number of dislikes on the song.  (Apparently that intelligent remark didn't stop people from expressing their opinions.)*

And my personal favorite from today (this is a direct quotation)
"I hate it when people bring up Justin Bieber in every video!"

                         Oh, the irony.

Be aware of the formula.  Armed with it, you could become obscurely famous.
