What is the Social Comments ad format?

You're literally screenshotting a social media post — usually someone praising your product on Reddit, Instagram, or TikTok — and running that as your ad creative. It works because it looks like organic chatter instead of a polished pitch, which makes the endorsement feel more believable. Brands use it when they want social proof without the production budget, especially if they're selling something people research or skeptically vet before buying.
