If there’s something in this world that we still have the power to control, it must be reviews. These short sentences of practical wisdom shared with fellow customers, shoppers, or diners can totally make it or break it for brands, services, and products.
Think of the last time you went on Amazon to get your mom a fancy aroma diffuser. If you are a stranger in the land of aroma diffusers, and most of us are, you totally rely on that one or two scribbles of feedback left by someone who probably doesn’t remember ever writing it.
And while some reviews are indeed helpful and others plain odd, others are splendidly hilarious. Like, verging on the border of being their own kind of comedic gold.
But thanks to the subreddit r/amazonreviews, which has been collecting the “the funniest damned product reviews on Amazon” since 2012, we've got quite an archive to feast on. From weirdly specific to plain specific, from painfully funny to mildly funny, there’s everything for every single taste in the reviews department. Psst! Part 1 of the same 5-star hilarity waits here.

Turning A Bad Situation Into A Good Review?
To find out more about the community dedicated entirely to the funniest, most genuine, and utterly absurd Amazon reviews, Bored Panda reached out to the moderator u/Pzreich of the subreddit r/AmazonReviews.
Even though the subreddit was created 8 years ago, it didn’t really get a lot of people coming until 2015. Today, the community gets about 90 to 150 posts a month, but the daily amount of submissions varies quite a bit, the mod explained.
When asked about what u/Pzreich defines as a good Amazon review, he said that it’s one which “shares the delightful oddities people possess and share. I personally prefer those where you can really see the person’s thoughts and personality and stories shine through.” This review would be an example of it.

Meanwhile, a bad review is “generally anything repetitive,” the moderator explained and added that “we’ve had to close quite a few posts that were Amazon users answering questions in a way that didn’t make sense. Turns out, “it was found that they received these in their email and it wasn’t them intentionally answering the question.”
"This can still lead to funny occurrences, but generally it’s not the most interesting to look at, no shame at all to our wonderful members who share them," said u/Pzreich and gave this review as an example.
On the other hand, a fan-favorite funny review is usually one that “doesn’t have to be super long, but it usually falls into the same standards as the good ones,” u/Pzreich said. According to him, simplicity and comedic appeal combined make a perfect Amazon review that entertains people. And this particular one may have it all, according to the moderator.
“I enjoy moderating this subreddit because Amazon reviews are really the gift that keeps on giving since it really is a great medium for capturing a neat essence of human nature,” u/Pzreich concluded.

It was stuck to a sticky, plastic trap..... Had he thrown it outside, not only would he be littering but would be putting the well-being of the other creature who tried to eat it at risk. I’m not sure if you’ve ever experienced a cricket in your home, but it’s maddening. The mellow drama was exactly what the review needed. If it makes you feel better, the cricket was most likely dead, he just said that for effect.
Couldn't you just drive it down to the park, 50 miles away and release her?
ack! you killed a cricket instead of putting it outdoors?!? freaking savage.
I'm glad the chirping noise has moved from the refrigerator to the trash can. Life changing!
When we moved to the city I missed the crickets the most. On my birtday my son took me outside , said,"Happy birthday, listen." He had bought crickets at the pet store and released them in our yard. Most touching memory of the best present ever given.
I went 2-3 days of a cricket somewhere in the house. Finally narrowed it down to one small area of a room. Damn thing was in the wall, behind the panelling! Had to pry the panelling off to evict him. Unlike author, i put him outside
I love the sound of Crikets. They're quite often in my house but I feel sorry for them cause it's the male singing for a mate and usually they don't find one in my house so they just keep sining.
the cricket was just doing what crickets do.. chirp. you didn't have to throw it in the trash!!
For an insect, he probably used a glue trap....they are so inhumane, even for an insect....except if it was a cockroach
"Sometimes it happened during the day or at night..." (And other times it happened outside the realms of both day and night, in a world where time exists only as a tool, to manipulate the minds of other sentient beings, who get confused when things happen both during the day and at night).
Why did the cricket have a donkey? That part of the narrative was inadequately explained.
that is mean don't put a living thing in a trash if you find a bug take it outside if you find a mouse or rat take it outside stop killing them
Rats and mice that infest houses are adapted to be house pests. They don't belong outside. They will either die or find another house to live in.

I just bought these for my sons. It's handy to know that they won't hear the agonized screeching of my husband as I eviscerate him for, well, just about everything the poor bastard has done since quarantine began. I, unfortunately, have a long memory and a much shorter fuse these days.

That cancer warning law backfired. Everything now causes cancer, and no one cares or pays attention to the warning. Making it ineffectual, therefore the companies are still liable if they use cancer causing stuff. Lookin at you, Monsanto.

🎶 Happy birthday to me 🎵 no one has figured it out yet 🎵 even with the upvotes I’m getting 🎶 Seriously tho. NOT A SINGLE PERSON
Happy Birthday. Seriously. It's your day. Cozy up in bed. Binge Netflix until your eyes roll out of your sockets. I don't care. Do something you want to do, without feeling guilty. 'Cause today, that doesn't matter. Today, all that matters it what you want, fellow Panda.

I wish they showed what some of the products are. I want that mattress protector. I got dogs, a rabbit, and a husband that sleep in my bed and not one of them seems to appreciate how much work it is to shampoo vac up their messes. You know how much it sucks to wake up to your dog vomiting on the bed you just cleaned that very same night when your husband spilled sweet tea on it because he was trying to carry the other dog, the rabbit, and the sweet tea at the same time? Also want that weighted blanket. I would like to construct a wall around me when I sleep.
Amazon won't let ME review stuff any more, just the scammer-bots from outside the US: "unusual reviewing activity." I've had an Amazon account for 21 yrs. + only leave reviews for the crappy items/sellers.
This made me laugh til I had tears rolling down my face, several times!😹
I haven't had a good laugh since our lying government started the Scamdemic and has made life a living hell for everyone. Thanks for the belly laughs.
