Default Comma Question

In a sentence that uses parentheses at the end of a clause, then a comma (like this one), does the comma go before or after the parentheses? I have always put it after, but never been sure.

I, like to just, throw a bunch (maybe even 7, or 8), of commas in there, wherever I think it'll, have the most, effect.

It's hard not to give a little pause for each comma.
