Herp Derp is all a YouTube comment really needs

The first rule of YouTube: Do not read the comments. The second rule of YouTube: DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS. But if you occasionally forget yourself, there’s a new plugin to help you.

A new browser extension by Tanner Stokes for Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari will automatically translate every YouTube comment into the much more appealing “Herp Derp”. Because let’s be honest, “Herp Derp” is probably more intelligent than whatever was written there in the first place.

If for some reason you feel inclined to read the original comment, you can still click on it to make it appear. But that would spoil the genius of this idea.
