If you're browsing the internet for laughs but the memes seem overused and the comics look like they've become a copy of each other, there's still something that might do the trick. Amazon reviews. They're honest, witty, and, best of all, self-aware. From an elderly man who just used a selfie-stick for the first time to a woman who can't pull her new turtleneck over her head, you don't have to be a writer for a late night talk show to pen something hilarious. All it takes is just a little bit of amazement or disappointment after you open your long-awaited delivery. Continue scrolling and check out some of the funniest Amazon reviews the site has to offer!

According to NBC Los Angeles, however, Amazon users shouldn't base their decision of whether to buy a particular thing or not solely on the product reviews. University of Southern California social media professor Karen North said that the sellers are tricking Amazon's algorithm. "As sellers on Amazon, people know there are ways to game the system, where it looks like you have more positive ratings than you do," she said.

Prof. North also gave an example of one of the Amazon shopping schemes: sellers post a product to sell, collect reviews, then swipe out the product for a new one while keeping the old reviews in place.

North said sellers can do this over and over, duping buyers into thinking a product has more or better reviews than it really does. North says Amazon needs to crack down.

"They need to start thinking about whether or not people are figuring out how to game their system. And they need to figure out how to go in and clean that up," she said.

In a statement to the I-Team, Amazon admitted these things do happen: "These bad actors show a flagrant disregard for our community, and our policies ... we work with sellers and law enforcement to hold them accountable by withholding funds and pursuing civil and criminal penalties."

This board is very good, I’ve tried it for three weeks and it works great! I recommend it to all amazon watchers? Users? FIVE STARS!

it's a split keyboard. or, the left half of a split keyboard. Gamers *might* use it, if the keys were programable.

A friend had just sent me a message using voice to text, so I really thought this review had little to do with typing on the item reviewed, and tons to do with the reviewer using voice to text after getting dental work, so their mouth was mushy.

The short answer: 1) So you can type with just your left hand (each key has many alternate symbols it can type) and 2) "recommend it to all Amazon watchers". :)

Letitia Hedding If you look closely there are all the English alphabets in that keyboard. The person who wrote this just had problems to switch the buttons to the correct letters.

I had a slightly different one: “This board is very good! I’ve tried it for three weeks and it works great! I recommend it to all Amazon watchers. Five stars!”............................ I’m still not sure about that second to last sentence. Amazon was my best guess best on the context, capitalization, and missing keys...but watcxers? I thought the same as you but I’m still not sure...
