Best comment ever was "It used to work like this but person at client demanded it work like that on this date" when the client complained it shouldn't work like that.

The best comments are "why" comments, the runner up is "how" comments if high-level enough, and maybe just don't write "what" comments at all because everyone reading your code knows how to read code.
