One of Amazon's biggest impact to the retail space is the customer review. With real opinions on just about every product imaginable, reading a review before a purchase has almost become part of the shopping experience. The internet isn't always about utility though, sometimes it's just about having a good laugh. So with that in mind, enjoy five of the funniest Amazon product reviews.
There's lots of great humor on the internet, and these Amazon reviews prove it.
Caution: Don't read with your boss around, because you might just LOL.
1. Be careful with this one, I think you could literally spend hours reading through the 2,665 customer reviews — almost all of which are hilarious.
There's even an involved tale of glory and plight the banana slicer is responsible for...
2. Three Wolf Moon Tee
Someone even went all out with an elaborate music video review on this one. "Have you ever seen three wolves cry to a pale blue moon?"
3. Wheelmate Laptop Steering Wheel Desk

You've got to check out Tuscan Whole milk on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Whole-Milk-Gallon-128/dp/B00032G1S0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359990959&sr=8-1&keywords=tuscan+milk
This just made my day.
you missed the best one: Bic pen for Women. HILARIOUS!
The ninja/banana slicer one!!!!
Sadly I hear Amazon will begin to cull the reviews... Generally to remove product distributors/Authors from giving high praise to their own product/book/etc but I fear these will also meet the axe soon enough.
Too bad if that turns out to be the case. Viral marketing in it's purest form.
"My mom has been hoarding things for years now. Knives, pizza cutters,paint scrapers, broken plates, cookie cutters.... anything with an edge. We were at our wits end trying to help her get over her hoarding. I even entered her on that show about hoarders so I could finally get paid for everything I've suffered over the years, including never having friends over and getting buried in my sleep when MOM unwrapped the shipment from QVC of 70 various knives, all for 12.95. No one found me for 3 weeks. One day, she saw this incredible banana slicer on tv and voila!!! Her hoarding was solved. She rolled her computer chair over to the computer (did I mention she weighs 546 lbs?) And ordered 60 of them. Since then we've been able to clean the rest of her house out and generally keep her confined to the kitchen, where she happily slices bananas all day long. Thank you banana slicer! "
OMG, i am dying....all these reviews...
3-ring binders anyone?
http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Durable-Binder-11-Inch-17032/dp/B001B0CTMU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Or BIC pens for women. http://www.amazon.com/BIC-Cristal-1-0mm-Black-MSLP16-Blk/dp/B004F9QBE6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I think I'll stop now....
The reviews for the steering wheel desk thingy made me laugh and laugh. Thanks for the morning pick-me-up!
My favorite one to date is the Uraniam Ore!!
http://www.amazon.com/Images-SI-Uranium-Ore/dp/B000796XXM/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header
My current favorite is the Playmobil Security Checkpoint. 156 mostly-funny reviews.
http://www.amazon.com/PLAYMOBIL%C2%AE-36138-Playmobil-Security-Check/dp/B0002CYTL2
The Badonkadonk Land Cruiser is another classic:
http://www.amazon.com/JL421-Badonkadonk-Land-Cruiser-Tank/dp/B00067F1CE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Haha, love this. "I thot these pens woud make me smart but now wen i rite i cant spel wurth sheet. not evun E-Z wurds lik CRISTAL. i usta spel gud even for a gurl but not no more sense thes peans. Now evey time i pik up thise pins i feal dum dum dum."
Best AT post ever!
And the best part is that these products are real. Ahhhh life can be so entertaining.
Still laughing... Awesome post AT!
And the BIC pens for women reviews. Pure gold.
Someone has answered my gentle prayers and FINALLY designed a pen that I can use all month long! I use it when I'm swimming, riding a horse, walking on the beach and doing yoga. It's comfortable, leak-proof, non-slip and it makes me feel so feminine and pretty! Since I've begun using these pens, men have found me more attractive and approchable. It has given me soft skin and manageable hair and it has really given me the self-esteem I needed to start a book club and flirt with the bag-boy at my local market. My drawings of kittens and ponies have improved, and now that I'm writing my last name hyphenated with the Robert Pattinson's last name, I really believe he may some day marry me! I'm positively giddy. Those smart men in marketing have come up with a pen that my lady parts can really identify with.
http://www.amazon.com/Avoid-Huge-Ships-John-Trimmer/dp/0870334336
"...Because of the insights this book provided, I can sleep a little better and cope with the reality that I can't always be there to protect my kids from huge ships, especially as they become adults. I'm confident that my teens, when confronted by a huge ship, are much better prepared to make wiser decisions than I did. At the very least my children certainly know that they can always come to me if they have any concerns, questions or just need my support when it comes to the topic of huge ships. "
My faith in humanity has just been restored!
There is a product listing on Amazon for a 55 gallon tub of personal lubricant. Needless to say, the reviews are hilarious.
http://www.amazon.com/Passion-Natural-Water-Based-Lubricant-Gallon/dp/B005MR3IVO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360000637&sr=8-1&keywords=55+gallon+tub+of+lube

Forget the reviews, the customer photos are THE BEST.
http://www.amazon.com/Accoutrements-12027-Horse-Head-Mask/dp/B003G4IM4S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
"When I put the mask on something came over me. Suddenly, I felt the urge to run through the canyons and Disney's "Colors of the Wind" had new meaning. Something is very different now. I no longer feel the pain of man, I fear nothing...I am the embodiment of valiantry."
AudioQuest Speaker Cables, this page has some of the best short fiction on the web: http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-K2-Terminated-Speaker-Cable/dp/B000J36XR2
Ahhhhh! mazing!
Thanks for the laughs! Amazing reviews for the banana slicer... by the time you use it and wash it you could have sliced 2 bananas
http://www.amazon.com/ThinkGeek-Canned-Unicorn-Meat/dp/B004CRYE2C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360003854&sr=8-1&keywords=unicorn+meat
Yeah! Thanks so much for the Monday morning laughs. Way to start the week!
If you enjoy biting political satire, the reviews for the children's drone model can't be beat!
http://www.amazon.com/Maisto-Fresh-Metal-Tailwinds-Endurance/dp/B004JFMOGK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
This takes the biscuit but I warn you it is NSFW (no images - just quite rude and v v funny)
http://www.amazon.com/Veet-Hair-Removal-Creme-200ml/dp/B000KKNQBK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1360005510&sr=8-5&keywords=hair+removal+cream+for+men
This is awesome! Thank you for one of the best Mondays, EVAH! Great way to start the week, & I'll definitely be sharing this one.
Ha, I like that the 'Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed' leads to all the other well-reviewed products.
Disclaimer... this one is crude BUT.... seriously, this is one of the funniest Amazon book title, description AND collection of customer Reviews I have found on Amazon. People bought it just for the laugh factor, although the author's intentions were serious! The Japanese to English translation is priceless! How to Good-bye Depression: If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday. Malarkey? or Effective Way?
That banana slicer AND penicillin both send me into a raging bout of hives.
I'm closing this post now. I'm at work laughing far too loud at the "how to avoid huge ships" reviews.
starofvenus, the Veet for Men reviews are the best. Thanks for reminding me of them - I think a detour to Amazon is in order....
Oh man,I got sucked in to the abyss of funny Amazon reviews.It's as bad as the bottomless pit of cat videos on YouTube. The neighbors must think I'm smoking something.
I've never laughed so much from an AT post, really funny.
Let me present: Least Helpful, a Tumblr dedicated to terrible Amazon reviews.
And you can pair it with Unicorn meat!
Another shout out to the horse head!
http://www.amazon.com/Accoutrements-12027-Horse-Head-Mask/dp/B003G4IM4S
Make sure to check out the 655+ images, too!
I caught wind of the 571b this weekend and almost choked to death laughing so hard. There are so many various reviews that are funny that reading them all is pure entertainment.
People should really check out the Horse Mask user photos.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B003G4IM4S/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all
655 (right now) of the best photos on the internet.
OK, these are in German. Just to show it's an international pasttime.
And the knife IS amazing.

My all-time favorite is for The Secret:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R2X2TB3S4O5I60
If you have never seen Ari Brouillette's customer review of the Secret, please click on this link. Best.review.ever. Mr. Brouillette's other reviews are worth a read, but all other reviews pale in comparison to his The Secret review.
At long last, ladies & gentlemen, I believe we have the definitive answer for "What does one do with an English degree?"
aaaAAAAnd the winner is: bakinscones!!!!!
Another good one for the list...
