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.
Just Saw This Today On A Teeth Whitening System
Candles Are For Men Too!
And it sounds like it might be a real review, unlike the others.

Candles stored in the boot of a car are also an emergency heat source for those stranded by winter weather. Serious, in a small area the heat can be enough to sustain life.
Also makes it easier to start a fire ,(light candle first, tthen use candle to light kindling,)

I know, right? I almost didn’t buy a leather rucksack because it said “men’s pack”. Also MANY MANY, more so than not, books and articles use “he” as a default instead of “they”.
Minus the knife, good sir. I have starred calling out these sexist advertisements with things like "Oh, man, I cannot buy this for myself as I am a woman. Must buy it for my son, although he has no interest as he is a baby, and his older sister will be so jealous as it is right up her ally." I did see one for a weighted blanket and the girl was sleeping under one with construction vehicles and playing with cars. YES! I also avoided buying girls underwear from someone who showed pics of the girls in them. Moms like me don't care but there are predatory people-mostly men- out there who get off on that. I did report it, too. They can advertise girls underwear by just showing the underwear.
But only manly scents like "Desert Storm Night", "Rugged Mountain Road" and "Heavy Weight Gym on a Monday Morning" (:
Spilled. And I've never noticed candles being overly marketed to a certain gender.
I have given aroma candles to men.. spicy smells and all appreciated.
My friend makes candles for men, she calls them The Mandle. Candles are by Melba from from Australia, she even has a pic of a big moe on the front of the glass and all scents are unique to men’s aftershaves. Excellent Candles for him 😊
He iss a very good writer as well as entertaining. Thank you sir for the riotous laughs.
I'm crying laughing .. the ones that make you pee a little... this was so good
Doesn't make a difference if you are a man or a woman. If a candle is the best you have to give for Valentine's Day, your significant other is going to be disappointed
Actually, this guy is most likely a feminist. Feminists hate this useless misgendering "if it's for women it must be pink" bs. And toxic masculinity that dictates what men should and shouldn't like hurts ALL of us.

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.

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.
