How can I reliably run a jquery script after page load

I'm attempting to get some jquery code to run after a sharepoint page loads, the code being:

$(".ms-commentcollapse-icon").click();

I've been using the following to load the code after the page loads, but it does not seem to be very reliable (it will work sometimes and other times it wont):

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function () {
        $(".ms-commentcollapse-icon").click();
});
</script>

are there any other good methods for achieving this? I'm not sure what's going on, sharepoint could be at fault, but I figured I would try fiddling around with the script a bit more first.

You can prevent the default behaviour by using e.preventDefault(); within the function. 

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(".ms-commentcollapse-icon").click(function(e) {
        // We're going to stop the default behavior
        e.preventDefault();
        //some code here
    });
</script>

If this is SharePoint 2010 or above, you can use ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(yourfunction,"SP.JS") to keep your code from firing until after the SP.JS library has loaded (or you can put any other library in the second parameter for a similar effect).

If this is in a web part and you don't want it to execute until other web parts on the page are fully loaded, make sure the web part containing the script is below the other web parts.

As a last resort, you could execute it on a delay using setTimeout or setInterval, but that's ugly.

You could use an auto-executing function:

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function () {
    $(".ms-commentcollapse-icon").click();
  } ());
</script>
