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.

Hilarious!

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.

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.

"I Should Have Picked A Different Color"
These leggings could be her "I want to wear a dress but I don't feel like shaving leggings". I kinda want a pair now, they would be very useful since my skin is pale, my hair is black and it grows FAST, so you can see my stupid prickles by lunchtime

YES!! They would be my favorite pants. I'd probably get a few extra pairs. Maybe "decorate" the front with a fuzzy yarn patch to really freak people out.

Just write "Yes, I'm wearing pants" on your shirt. Problem solved-
my boyfriend walked past me and said "um shes not wearing pants..." XD
Mwhahahahahaha. I fully thought she was pantless. Some people do this, go out in pants matching their skin tone.
I have a pair of yellowish pants that match my skin tone. Every time i wear them no one thinks I have pants on
I've met so many people with unfortunate color-choices... this one is enhancing the nakedidity to the max, though
You could wear them under a dress with boots - looks like bare legs but yer warm!
Nice. Look for ages for skintone coloured leggins, but there are not in our shops. Only black, brown, gray, sometimes red. I will try Amazon, thats great...
I have seen girls walking around wearing this colour and they look as if they have no pants on..I think they know it too..
Omg i first thought this post was about a dress that was "shirt" size haha WRONG
Just calculated her bmi for no reason…she’s in the obesity category
i'm dying to own a pair like this lol my thighs touch each other so it hurts if i don't wear anything under a dress, and pantyhose don't get the job of "thighs not touching each other" done either so imagine if i had those! XD not only would i be warm, no need to shave legs, AND gonna be practically still wearing wants even though i'm in a dress lol sounds amazing
leggings are not pants! argh. you don't wear them with a shirt like that and show your ass. you wear them with dresses and tunics or long tops.
People can dress any way they please. If it makes them comfortable and happy, who cares? How is how someone else dresses affecting your life at all? Were your parents murdered by a rogue pair of leggings? Did your child elope with a criminal tank top? ~~~ I suppose when you get dressed you always make sure to wear shapeless baggy clothing to ensure that no part of your body is identifiable as such. No pants because people can see you have legs and a butt! No fitted tops lest your waist, chest, and shoulders be outlined for all to see! No scandalous glimpses of ankle, wrist, or neck for you! Does your wardrobe consist solely of cardboard boxes and clogs? How do you hide your earlobes?

what does size have to do with it? And I hope you mean the number on the tag should never be above 12. Because not everyone can look like a crack head, nor wants too.

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. 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.
