Funny Amazon Reviews: 6 Items That Feature Hilarious User Feedback

Posted on 17 June 2011. Tags: Amazon, Feature, Feedback, Funny, Hilarious, items, Reviews, User

class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/intro4.jpg" alt="amazon reviews" />Niche products on the Internet are often the subject of ridicule, especially on big retail websites like class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-amazon-price-watch-trackers-bargain-hunter/">Amazon where user feedback is encouraged. Often these “reviews” make for a hilarious read, as communities around the net pick up on and continue to class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/overview-internet-memes-quickly-create/">share the joke.

Over the years Amazon has taken down a considerable number of these parody reviews, though many still remain. These products have some of the funniest and cleverest reviews on the Internet, with some racking up hundreds of sarcastic submissions from would-be class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/watch-your-favorite-stand-up-comedians-online-on-youtube/">comedians.

Each item has at least a page or two of content, so there should be enough here to stop you doing any real shopping today!

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000JU8FXK/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1">Katie Price & Peter Andre – A Whole New World

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/newworld.png" alt="amazon reviews" width="566" height="382" />

For those of you not familiar with Katie Price (or “Jordan” as she is known) and Peter Andre then I refer you to around 15 seconds (or however much you can stand) of class="vt-p" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLS29AE6rqw&feature=related">this video. Acquainted? Good, because the reviews on Amazon probably (don’t) sum up exactly how you’re feeling.

“If you can imagine a soothing blend of jojoba oils, vanilla, and WD40 being poured into both ear holes simultaneously, then you will have only been able to scratch the surface of the feast of pleasure that is Katie And Pete’s “A Whole New World” Album” class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R10GZDETFKC9IT/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R10GZDETFKC9IT">wrote one fan, and there are many more who were equally as moved.

“We still use it in the Accident and Emergency ward at work as an alternative anaesthetic; it’s cheap, and it renders the unsuspecting patient motionless and numbed,” claimed class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2CM18RUG8OLCV/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000JU8FXK&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">a punter.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/JL421-Badonkadonk-Land-Cruiser-Tank/dp/B00067F1CE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top">JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/tank.png" alt="amazon reader reviews" width="519" height="463" />

Whoever thought that putting a tank up for sale on Amazon was a good idea probably didn’t think it through. The item has actually been out of stock for years, though the 250+ customer reviews remain strong.

However, this battle-ready behemoth has clearly touched a few hearts: “For urban driving, the Badonkadonk is terrific; equipped with an upgraded 400 terawatt subwoofer, it strikes terror wherever it goes. When we get stalled on the George Washington Bridge, we pull out the lounge chairs and watch reruns of “Knight Rider” on the DVD player,” admitted class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1RWBK8NMEC2EJ/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00067F1CE&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">a fan.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1F6J3UPWQAQMT/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00067F1CE&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">According to Ron, the Badonkadonk has even settled neighbourhood disputes: “My neighbors used to get mad when the dog “Wally” would use their yard as a bathroom — not any more. In fact, they don’t get mad when I do it either.”

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000JTOYLS/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1">Bic Crystal Ballpoint Pen

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bic.png" alt="amazon reader reviews" width="521" height="421" />

This little collection goes to show that even the cheapest and most basic items aren’t safe from the Internet’s sense of humour – pens that cost a mere 25 pence (41 cents). “Worked fine with my right hand, but when I came to use my left hand my writing came out looking like the work of a complete imbecile,” warns class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/RIYOZKLCG4DEZ/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000JTOYLS&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">one shopper.

Importers beware, class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R297JZRNT3T1N3/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000JTOYLS&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">apparently this one’s region locked: “Because of the region differences, my imported pen will not work with region 1 8 1/2 x 11 inch letter-size paper – it only works on European (A4 and such) paper … I have looked up some so called “gray paper” import companies but I don’t know if I altogether trust them.”

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Whole-Milk-Gallon-128/dp/B00032G1S0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1307346522&sr=8-3">Tuscan Whole Milk (1 Gallon)

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/milk.png" alt="amazon reader reviews" width="571" height="506" />

Personally I’d recommend not buying foodstuffs from Amazon, and a few reviewers clearly feel the same way. In fact there are over 1,000 reviews for this gallon jug of milk, with the finest arguably being class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/RXXPVOUH9NLL3/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#RXXPVOUH9NLL3">this lengthy poem and a class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/RKT07YYORZMZE/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00032G1S0&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">tale of milk and love.

Greg, however, found class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/RLB3INH8S1ILL/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00032G1S0&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">a few problems “Initial set up of the Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz is easy, just unscrew the cap and remove the liner. It has a surprisingly rich set of standalone and integrated food possibilities and the addition of vitamin D was a bonus … however, I find that this product quickly becomes unstable (even without overclocking) to the point that it is no longer usable.”

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/Male-Testicular-Exam-Model-Anatomy/product-reviews/B0006TYJV6/ref=cm_cr_pr_btm_link_1?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending">Male Testicular Exam Model Anatomy

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/anatomy.png" alt="reviews and reader reviews on amazon" width="521" height="394" />

No giggling at the back, this is a valid medical training tool! Then again, you can’t list it on Amazon and not expect the following reviews. Especially when you’re charging close to $150…

Stuck for gift ideas? So was class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R3Q4GB0A92WN1G/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0006TYJV6&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">one reviewer: “I was going to give my wife a pair of diamond stud earrings, and my kids were going to get an Xbox w/Kinect, but now, nuh-uh. It’s male testicular exam models for everyone!”

“WOW!” class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R23QZ1Z5GHCHVJ/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0006TYJV6&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">writes LeeAnne, “what a difference they have made in my life. No longer do I quake with fear at the slightest stressor. I am able to stride forward in my life with confidence…the kind of confidence that only a set of hairless, tumor-riddled testicles can give you.”

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B002DGFYFA/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1">Original Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/threewolf.jpg" alt="amazon reviews" width="580" height="261" />

Probably the most famous Amazon product for all the wrong reasons, this class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/bought-makeuseof-tshirt/">t-shirt featuring not one, not two but three wolves all howling at the moon in unison has been celebrated with some of the funniest and most far-fetched reviews on the site.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R6O9KCYIO3634/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B002DGFYFA&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">Some elude to its incredible power: “I can honestly say I’ve never looked back. I don’t wear anything else. Literally. Sure, I’ve been arrested in every major supermarket for being naked from the waist down and limited washing has meant that I smell faintly of mushroom, but the wolves are a greater power and I no longer recognise Earth’s laws.”

Whereas class="vt-p" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R14GAT1RRSXEV1/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B002DGFYFA&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=">others warn against it: “I cannot recommend purchase of this shirt. Though its attractions are obvious and keenly felt by me I believe that it puts its wearer on a different plane to the other humans which – while flattering – will ultimately lead to isolation and loneliness.”

Check them all out, they’re great.

Conclusion

You can pretty much class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-tips-on-how-to-buy-and-sell-better-on-ebay/">sell anything on the Internet these days but you’re always at risk of attracting this kind of attention (sometimes with even the most mundane products). I dare say some of the products featured here have enjoyed boosted sales, better exposure and ultimately stick in the mind of those who have read the reviews.

6 Inspiring & Funny Blogs You Should Read If You Are A Parent

Posted on 04 March 2011. Tags: Blogs, Funny, Inspiring, Parent, Read, Should

class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Dooce-Kid-Pigtails.png" alt="blogs for parents" />If you’re a stay-at-home or a work-at-home mum or dad you’ll know that it’s always pleasant to read well-written blogs by others in similar situations. There’s something in the solidarity – knowing it’s not just you dealing with an eclectic mix of clients and walls covered in spaghetti. Somehow this knowledge can help ease the stress of parenthood and relax you with the knowledge that you’re not the only one.

Parenting can be quite isolating at times, since you’re often stuck at home while kids sleep. So the Internet is the ideal way to quickly reach the rest of the world and regain some much-needed laughs and perspective.

id="more-66410">

Dooce

href="http://dooce.com/">Dooce is, well, Dooce. There’s an extreme personality lurking behind this blog and if it’s not for you you’ll know within seconds of arriving on the site. But those who love Dooce find themselves strangely addicted. There’s a reason this blog is still massively popular 10 years down the track and I’m certain that’s more to do with the personality than the poop. And really, there’s a lot of poop.

As far as the blog itself goes, Heather is a professional blogger and mum living in a regular household of chaos and making sure the gory details are laughed at by more than just the people within her home.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Dooce.jpg" alt="blogs for parents" />

Note I managed to find a screenshot which didn’t involve any mention of poop. I hope you’re proud.

Theta Mom

Not the alpha mum, or the beta mum. href="http://www.thetamom.com/">Theta Mom is a blog for those who come a little further down the super-mum ranks and can honestly think of more than a few recent screw-ups to prove their position. In other words, it’s for most of us. This blog is all about balancing work and parenting roles, offering plenty of sound advice and a few funny anecdotes. It’s built a community to support working parents and allows members to write the occasional guest post for the blog.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Theta-Mom.png" alt="blogs for parenting" />

Baby Rabies

href="http://www.babyrabies.com/">Baby Rabies is purely a stay-at-home-mum blog at the moment, but that’s not to say it’s not as valuable as the working parent perspectives. The writer is a 30-year-old mother of two who writes in a candid, often hilarious style about her new life as a mother. She’s the sort of person who used to be a career woman who loved her heels and Starbucks, but got an incurable bout of Baby Rabies and wound up mothering.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Baby-Rabies.jpg" alt="blogs for parenting" width="374" height="522" />

Mushbrain

href="http://www.mushbrain.net/">Mushbrain describes itself and the mental state of the writer and readers perfectly in one completely invented word. It’s all about the craziness of life, motherhood and the strange things you find yourself doing. Occasionally mentioning the horrible bits of parenting you wish you’d never experienced, this blog mainly laughs at how different parenting looks from the parent’s side of the picture.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Mushbrain.png" alt="blogs for parenting" />

Dagmar’s Momsense

href="http://dagmarbleasdale.com/">Dagmar’s Momsense is all about parenting from a frugal, green and generally sensible perspective. Dagmar rants about everyday parenting issues, such as balancing work and family. She’s a little opinionated at times, but if you’re open minded it can serve to enlighten you of new perspectives.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Dagmars-Momsense.jpg" alt="parent blogs" />

GeekDad

href="http://www.wired.com/geekdad/">Wired’s GeekDad is much loved by geeks and dads worldwide. It blends a classy mix of geekiness with cool things you can do with your kids. There’s lots of DIY projects, games and sci-fi fanaticism.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Geekdad2.png" alt="blogs for parents" />

While it seems that most of us lead a rather eventless lives, there are people out there who can fit a meaningful message or funny story in 140 characters. Wouldn’t you like to receive their status updates? Or maybe you would rather be such a creative mind yourself!

Gather up some inspiration and get those creative juices flowing! Here are 20 original and funny Facebook status messages that are different.

People with Problems

You asked the cop if you could use his in-car computer to update your Facebook. No way you were getting out of a DUI.
The most awkward part of meeting new people is when my kids say, “Please help us.”

The most awkward part of meeting new people is when my kids say, “Please help us.”
