The internet is full of trolls — but there's a special breed of troll that has garnered a reputation for being the best in the game.

Whether it's on YouTube, Twitter, or in the dreaded comment sections, these masters know how to play the game. In honor of these great heroes, take a look at eight of the best trolls, who are out there doing the internet a great service by just being themselves.

1. DM Pranks

DM Pranks is one of the most popular channels in the YouTube prank community. It was created by Matteo Moroni and Diego Dolciami, and they pretty much go around scaring the living crap out of people.

The duo are typically dressed up as scary clowns or horror movie icons like Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers. They stage a prank that involves a fake dead body, and when someone stumbles upon it and sees the pranksters, Moroni or Dolciami will charge at them holding a weapon in their hand to scare them off.

Their videos went viral because of their elaborate setups and extreme realism. And, it's no joke. These trolls are the scariest out there, but with almost five million subscribers, it's safe to say they've really tapped into an audience. 

2. Lee Dawson

Lee Dawson is a popular figure in the RuPaul's Drag Race community who makes parody videos of episodes from the show's various seasons. His "RuCaps," as he calls them, take memes, vines, and other iconic moments in pop culture and effortlessly intertwine them with a given episode of Drag Race.

This amazing combination leads to full 20-minute videos of tomfoolery, and it works flawlessly with a medium like Drag Race.

3. Trisha Patyas

Trisha Patyas has been trolling her internet audience since the early 2010s. This YouTube star has captured the hearts of over 4.5 million subscribers with her overdramatic and hilariously shallow personality. 

It's her delivery that makes her such an iconic troll. If she said she was being stalked by a vampire or had been turned into a fly at the age of six, you'd have no choice but to believe her.

To go along with her videos, she also has quite the trolly Twitter page. She claims she's a reptilian and is also dating Jake Paul. We believe you, Trisha.

4. Christine Sydelko

Christine Sydelko is a gift from Vine that keeps on giving. Even after the popular social media platform went under, Sydelko retains a strong following of over 1 million subscribers on YouTube.

A popular Vine that showcases her excellent trolling skills involved her recording a wild party at "Bible Study," where she sings "Kumbaya," all while zooming in on someone doing a line of cocaine. 

Sydelko's Christmas Vine was also pretty iconic. In the video, she recorded herself going around saying "Merry Christmas" to random strangers in the most absurd ways possible. Her attempts include: "Merry Crisis," "Merry Crimas," and the legendary phrase, "Merry Chrysler." Sydelko is truly a genius.

5. Lovingkiara

Twitter user @lovingkiara became a legend among trolls this past year when she promised to draw people in different cartoon styles. She uploaded a tweet that supposedly depicted her artistic capabilities, and to be fair, it looked somewhat legit.

But once she started getting requests, it turned out she wasn't as great as she claimed to be. The fruits of her labor may have been completely rotten, but they were still incredibly funny.

While she may not excel at drawing, she is very gifted in the art of trolling.

6. Anne Harrison 

Anne Harrison is a budding troll genius. Harrison claims to be a married 30-year-old Christian woman who has three kids and wants you to worship her feet. She also thinks Madonna is a hag.

This account features some of the most bizarre troll tweets ever. Some highlights include her almost choking on a mint because "it was TOO spicy," and her retweeting an image of two gay men getting married and asking where the bride was.

7. KT Nelson

KT Nelson is always on his trolliing A-game and manages to get tons of retweets and likes on almost all of his shitposts.

Some highlights include him making fun of "young" Republicans and his iconic take on the "I am your father scene" from Star Wars. We can all take a lesson from this professional troll.

8. Ken M

Ken M is an infamous internet troll that has fearlessly, and hilariously, wrecked almost every comment page he comes across. The power that this guy holds is nothing short of spectacular. 

Ken M typically plays the role of an idiotic commenter who leaves the most ridiculous responses on Yahoo articles, Facebook brand pages, and other random places on the internet. If there's a comment section, trust and believe this man will make his mark on it. 

Ken M has entire Reddit threads and pages dedicated to his craft. He is a legend and very few will ever be able to reach his level.
