See youtube.com/watch?v=3CNRRdyFwsY (and other videos by gotbletu) which points to github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer and for Ubuntu there's a ppa (link on the github page).

According to a video by gotbletu, youtube-viewer - Watch, Read and Post Youtube Comments - Linux CLI, the youtube-viewer application can do what you want. You may add the Webupd8.org ppa using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 and then install the youtube-viewer package for your version of Ubuntu.
The earlier video by gotbletu on YouTube Viewer is Youtube-Viewer -- Search and Play Youtube Video - Linux CLI and a detailed review from 2015 is here.
I followed the instructions and installed youtube-viewer and its dependencies on Lubuntu 19.04.
I ran youtube-viewer --comments 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVzGZo5kS8c' to look at the comments for that video.
At the same time, I also viewed the video in Firefox 69:
- youtube-viewer seems to default to displaying comments chronologically, newest first. So I sorted the comments in Firefox the same way.
- youtube-viewer seems to only display comments but not their replies as can be seen by comparing the highlighted areas in the images. So if one is interested in viewing replies as well, then a full-fledged browser maybe needed.
