In the vast universe of online shopping, Amazon reigns supreme, offering a convenient and efficient experience for savvy shoppers. Amidst the sea of informative product reviews, there lies an unexpected source of hilarity that often leaves us chuckling at our screens while contemplating our next purchase.

Get ready to embark on a laugh-filled expedition as we venture deep into the humorous underbelly of Amazon reviews. These gems, as witty as they are surprising, will have you hankering for more of the internet’s comical side. So hold onto your reading glasses and let’s dive into the most sidesplitting Amazon reviews out there!

1. If the Maternity Dress Fits

Product: A-1 Bright White Maternity Dress
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This “perfect fit” reminds us that clothes really can be gender neutral. According to reviewer Jordan Lee, his wife purchased it for her pregnancy announcement, but she found out that it was too big. It was then that Lee knew what he had to do.

He donned the dress and had a photoshoot of his own, though his pregnancy belly looks more like a function of Pizza Hut than an actual fetus. That said, the dress made him look quite majestic, as it was truly fit for a queen (or king).    

2. We’re Proud Of You Mr. Pride

Product: Mpow Selfie Stick
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This review is totally adorable, and we’re quite proud of this man for taking his great picture. The Internet is full of unseeable, shocking things, and it’s nice, at least once in a while, to see something wholesome and cute instead.

Norel Pride deemed this selfie stick, to which he attached his iPhone or Android, a “winner,” as he was able to make it work. With this extendable selfie stick, Norel was able to take the “nicest picture of [himself] in fifty years.” 

3. A Costume Worth Buzzing About

Product: Black/Yellow, One Size Bee Costume
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Cabass on Amazon purchased this bee costume for his or her very tiny, eighty-eight-year-old mother. For his part, Cabass’ father wore a Beekeeper costume. The two were a hit at the party, proving that you’re never too old for couples’ costumes.

While we don’t expect Spirit Halloween to go out of business anytime soon, Amazon really is a great place to find Halloween costumes. Clearly, as this elderly woman and her beau seem like they had the time of their lives at this Halloween fest.

4. Go Ahead, Get Googly

Product: Accoutrements Googly Eyes
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Humans are an interesting bunch. If we put a pair of googly eyes on something, no matter what it is, that thing automatically becomes one of us, even if it is an inanimate object at the workplace. One Amazon reviewer, for example, put it on his VR goggles.

Rather than watch Hulu episodes at work to distract his coworkers, he chose something a “little less obvious,” attaching a pair of giant googly eyes to his headset. Not only are his coworkers good and distracted, they can also be “tricked into thinking [he’s] paying attention.”

5. The Human Turtle

Product: A “Roomier Than Expected” Cat Box
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We love our feline friends, even though their litter box habits are a bit tedious. The more space you give them in the litterbox, the less of a mess, usually, they tend to make. One woman ordered a cat box on Amazon, and she was shocked at how roomy it was.

It was “roomier than expected,” and she even climbed in it (while it was still clean and litter-free, of course) to prove that it was as “spacious” as she hoped it would be. Let’s hope her two cats agreed and loved it just as much. 

6. She’s Special

Product: Cat Bed
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Amazon customer babyswirly assumes that this cat bed is “fine,” so long as you have a cat that knows how to sleep in a bed. As she put it, her chonky-looking cat is “special.” Though she tried to encourage the cat to lay in it, the furry feline kept using it as a hat.

Babyswirly even tried putting food and catnip in it, and the kitty was still perplexed. Oh well. Those of us with cats know that sometimes, it’s better to just give up and accept you wasted your money. 

7. The Half-Baked Review

Product: Bread Slippers
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Of course, some dad logged onto his Amazon account and gave this review for bread slippers that was full of puns. As soon as we saw the “Crust what I kneaded” heading, we knew we were in for a heaping helping of dad jokes.

“J” did not disappoint. His review had it all, from punny phrases to intentional misspelling. These slippers inspired him to buy pairs for his entire family, who are no doubt very tired of hearing his mile-a-minute, tried-and-true dad jokes. 

8. Great For Those “Not So Fresh” Days

Product: Bic For Her
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The marketing flop that was Bic for Her will never not be funny. A few years ago, Bic chose to make gendered pens, and everyone from random Amazon commenters to The Ellen Show ran with it.

Great For Those "Not So Fresh" Days @Google/Pinterest Great For Those "Not So Fresh" Days @Google/Pinterest

For example, this Amazon reviewer jokingly called these “Bic for Her” pens great for not-so-fresh days, as she was relieved of carrying a “bulky” pen. She loved her Bic for Her pens so much, she was willing to pepper spray any would-be thief over them. 

9. Not A Giant Ice Cream Sandwich

Product: Etekcity Upgraded Camping Air Mattress
Star Rating: ⭐

Ordering while intoxicated, while certainly not as serious as driving while intoxicated, can have some pretty hilarious consequences. Take this person for example, as he had a bit too much to drink before logging into their Amazon account.

Not A Giant Ice Cream Sandwich @boredpanda/Pinterest Not A Giant Ice Cream Sandwich @boredpanda/Pinterest

“Adam” thought he was ordering a $150 ice cream sandwich, but what he actually got was a brown-and-white Etekcity Upgraded Camping Air Mattress. Alas, since it wasn’t the treat he’d hoped for, Adam gave this product, rather unfairly, a 1/5-star rating.

10. Can’t Argue With That Logic

Product: Zippo Lighter Fluid
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every product on Amazon can be reviewed—that and the two-day shipping are some of the biggest highlights of the website. When you read the reviews, they help you tell whether the product works or not.

“Corey” reviewed Zippo Lighter Fluid in a rather matter-of-fact way that, while informative, also made us chuckle. “Do you want 4 oz. of flammable lighter fluid?” he asked. “Then this is the product for you.” You can’t argue with that logic.

11.  #1 Barry Manilow Hater

Product: Barry Manilow Album
Star Rating: ⭐

Barry Manilow is a pretty chill guy. He doesn’t seem to offend anyone, and he’s not in the headlines like a lot of other artists who have behaved badly. However, you can’t please everyone, and M. Weinbender is one of those displeased people.

“His name should be Scary Manilow,” is the heading of this Amazon review, which goes on to lambast Manilow for not being able to sing like Hannah Montana. This really is more of a referendum on how great Hannah Montana is rather than anything to do with Barry.

12. Side Effect: Your Kid Will Be Furious

Product: Fridge Lock
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Man, was he mad when he discovered we added one of these locks,” reads this review. The review itself is funny, but its comedy is only heightened by the image of the enraged kid standing at the fridge.

Side Effect: Your Kid Will Be Furious © amazon.com Side Effect: Your Kid Will Be Furious © amazon.com

He’s clearly mad that he can’t wander into the fridge and wreak havoc, as you can see from him throwing a huge temper tantrum. Anyone who has ever had kids or babysat them knows that keeping an eye on their constant snacking is a must-do. This lock just makes that way easier.

13. There’s Something For Everything Out There

Product: Yodelling Pickle
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With the advent of the Internet (really, with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, if we want to get technical), there’s something out there for everything. Need an obscure item for an equally-niche purpose?

Don’t worry, as Amazon has you covered. They even sell Yodeling Pickles, which completely outperform other hit veggies and fruits like “Howling Broccoli,” “Rapping Avocados,” and the odd aubergine or two.

14. Glitter Bombing the Roommate

Product: Creative Arts By Charles Leonard Glitter
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Glitter is great for a lot of things: crafting, art projects, and, if you’re this roommate, making the carpet look as though it was “farted” on by a “Care Bear.” Brian Spatz purchased a one-pound bottle of glitter from Amazon with the full intention of terrorizing his roommate.

To be fair, Spatz did have a somewhat logical reason for his glitter-bombing, as his roommate, who must have never seen a Netflix true crime documentary in his life, let a random “bum” sleep on their couch, once again.
