Not the biggest but definitely the brightest comet was Hale-Bopp in 1997. What other comet could compete with daylight, the Moon and cars! And we in the southern hemisphere didn't even see the best of it! What a sight it must have been in the north.
The average person on the street could just go out and see it with no optical aid at all. They would comment that there would be this "thing" hanging in the sky.
