To be a Most Annoying Nitpick, a comment has to be obvious, predictable, and unimportant.

For example:

“You know, in space an explosion wouldn’t make any noise.”

Runners up include:

“Jeesh. Dinosaurs were dead for hundreds of millions of years before humans came along.”

“Computer viruses are operating-system specific, so one of ours couldn’t infect an alien computer.”

“In the original comic book, he couldn’t fly, just jump.”

In fact, I’d be willing to consider any nitpick that begins with the phrase “In the original comic book” as a candidate for the Most Annoying.
