Many people rely on product reviews before buying. It’s like test-driving a vehicle before spending your hard-earned money. 

While most reviews help, you may come across a few you find yourself paying more attention to than the product itself. These are the product reviews that go off the rails in the funniest ways possible, and you will likely find them in the Amazon Reviews subreddit. 

If you have time today, these reviews are a fun read. As always, don’t forget to upvote the ones that made you laugh the most.

    Humor is a powerful engagement tool. It’s an icebreaker that automatically bridges communication gaps, which is why many professionals also consider it an effective marketing strategy. 

    So does the same concept apply to product reviews? According to Temple University professor Sunil Wattal, funny reviews do influence what a person buys, but only to an extent.

    “The whimsical nature of these reviews engages consumers, making them more interested in the product,” Wattal wrote in a 2024 article for The Conversation. 

    As an example, Wattal cited the Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt on Amazon, which came out in the late 2000s. It became an “overnight internet sensation” after people flooded it with elaborate, even well-thought-out, funny reviews.

    However, Wattal also pointed out that humorous reviews may leave consumers uncertain. As he explains, people may reconsider and wonder whether the product is actually suitable for them. As a result, a would-be buyer may not go through with the purchase, especially if the product is costly. 

    “We found that a funny review can have the opposite effect by increasing consumer uncertainty, such as when the product is a complex item such as a flat-screen TV,” Wattal wrote.

    While funny reviews provide entertainment, are they trustworthy? Most experts won’t give a hard no, but they also encourage skepticism, given the prevalence of fake reviews in today’s social media landscape. 

    According to marketing professor Ann Knonrod, Amazon flags 70% of reviews. That includes reviews marked as a “verified purchase,” which she says can also be faked.

    So what drove the rise of fake reviews? Knonrod says the companies that order them are to blame. They give out free products and urge people to leave a review, which often isn’t accurate. 

    “In many cases, though, the request is not, ‘Leave us a review,’” Knonrod explained. “It is, ‘Leave us a positive review.’ And this immediately sways and biases the consumer. But that's not what my colleagues and I are looking for.”

    The resident squirrels in my garden actually like pepper/chilli so I know the feeling! The only way to stop them to dig out and eat the bulbs is to put all pots inside a puppy pen, and cover with chicken mesh. Once the bulbs sprout they leave it alone.

    Online shopping can be a gamble, and buying isn’t automatic. Still, a funny review can at least amuse you enough to forget any bad vibes from your day. Hopefully, these did the same for you.

    You have to wonder sometimes Did someone who had no knowledge of what they are to do with the product buy and review. I was buying usb extension cables. Reviews were saying they lost connection and ai wounder if they were adding to an already long cable. There Is only so far that you can go with usb cables before the low voltage is over come be the resistance of the wire. Too much wire and the signal never gets there. So I question whether the product is poorly made or did the buyer add this to a length of cable that was just below the length limit.
