If you saw our publications on hilarious and honest Amazon reviews, you know how poetic people can be when they're describing the scissors they just bought. But that's not always the case.
There's a Twitter account called Weird Online Reviews (@reviews0context) and it collects fan-submitted pictures of consumer comments that aren't as wholesome or witty. Rather, a bit more dark and twisted. However, they can be just as funny if your sense of humor prefers that kind of stuff. No judging!

The staff at Bored Panda added a few reviews with similar vibes to this list from our own hard drives but that's just because we had them laying around and remembered only after we discovered Weird Online Reviews.
There are two Twitter users running the show, moosh and Bl43ch.
"Me and my buddy Bl43ch created the account together and wanted to post weird reviews we'd either find ourselves or have followers submit their own online reviews they found," moosh told Bored Panda. "There are a lot of other Twitter accounts with a similar premise but different topics, so we wanted to make one exclusive to weird reviews found online."
The company should be sued for deceiving innocent drunk people.
So even though just a couple of guys can actually log in to Weird Online Reviews, in a way, all of its 67.8K followers are responsible for what appears in its feed. "Sometimes we find our content either by ourselves (like here) or we have our followers direct message us with something they found themselves."
As for curation, the duo doesn't overthink it. "If the review is funny and/or weird, we'll probably share it. If it's kind of mediocre or not really interesting, we probably won't," moosh explained.
"We also don't really tend to post long reviews because a follower is less likely to sit and read through the whole thing. Except those that are genuinely really good," moosh added.
moosh couldn't recall a specific product or topic that their followers engage with the most. Whether people like it or not, it usually depends on that particular tweet.
"It's really random most of the time. We had one tweet reach over 21,000,000 impressions and it was some guy giving a mattress a one-star review because he was 'drunk at the time and thought it was a giant ice cream sandwich.'"
Statista reported that in 2021, over 2.14 billion people worldwide are expected to buy goods and services online (up from 1.66 billion global digital buyers in 2016). So chances are we'll see more of Weird Online Reviews too!
They must have been following an old guy out of Eqypt and missed the parting ;o)
He thought he can have his (pan)cake and eat it, too. Ok, I'll show myself out.

I get it. I once went to a restaurant that had horrible service. The waitress took the order and it took a crazy long time to come out (like 45+ minutes), and in the mean time the server didn't come back to the table. Finally got the food and it was barely edible, but by that time we just wanted to eat and go home (and not wait another hour for food that may or may not be better) so we ate enough to not be hungry. We only saw the server to take the order, drop off the food, and again when she dropped the check, so there was no real time to complain before eating a portion. We complained to the server when she brought the check but since we had eaten a bit we just paid and left.
I've seen people eat the entire meal, then say it was unsatisfactory and ask for (and get) ar refund. No shame.
Dealt with people like that a few times when I worked in a hot dog stand years ago. They invariably 1) ate every crumb, 2) made their snide remarks only as they were leaving, and 3) left a hurricane-level mess for us to clean up. There are some real garbage people among us.

I can understand that ... you were just hungry but it wasn't totally inedible, so you are it. Hey, you don't have to go back!
I absolutely hate it when people do that! If you eat it then it wasn't so bad and all you want is refund cause you are a cheap person! By the way I've been in a place where i had a snack that was not good but i was too hungry and ate it! But i didn't have the audacity to complain!
I waded thru a second round of overly salted buffet food hoping for something worth eating; when I asked for a refund was told I'd been there too long.
He ate ONE. From what sounds like a stack. I think that pretty much indicates poor quality...

Funniest reviews I ever read was the reviews on Amazon for a Ball point pen, the album "A Whole New World" by Peter Andre and Katie Price and a hair removal cream for men.
My favorites are the SugarFree gummy bears, Bic for her pens and the Dr. Squatch soaps, especially the ones by women. XD

notdrem, "tonyjaa" is a bot...not a real person. Kind of like automatically-generated spam that fills your inbox. So there is no person on the other end of those comments to read yours. Maybe BP can develop an algorithm to detect and destroy them before they even appear here, but more than likely we will have to co-exist with them. Best to downvote and ignore.

On a Goodreads review for The Poisoner's Handbook (by Deborah Blum): "Please note: this book is not actually helpful if you were looking for tips on how to poison someone (unless you are the U.S. government, in which case there are notes scattered throughout on how to poison industrial alcohols)." 😳
Two things: look up reviews of 1) sugar free gummy bears and Death Wish Coffee. Second, check out the podcast "Beach too Sandy, Water too Wet." Thank me later.
I saw a review about a potato cookbook once and it said, "My boyfriend dumped me for this book. there is no love, only potato."
