humorous short stories... or rather product reviews :D
i just happened upon one of the reviews of a very creative, over-the-top user on amazon. apparently he's no longer reviewing, but his reviews are whimsical and well-written, and all tell a different tale. an excerpt taken from his dishwash detergent pod review:

Quote:
In late August of the year 2014, armed with a crossbow and a sharpened plumbing instrument, I took part in an attempt to overthrow the managership of my local Star-bucks. One Mr. James Thomas Watley, assistant manager of this coffee-mongery, carries himself about like a prince among us peons! How he prances through the establishment in his green apron and golden badges, drunk with power, and eager to display the ill-earned decorations of a lordship to which neither he, nor any man, has a right! Who is Mr. Watley, I ask, to force me -- or anyone, for that matter -- to wear shoes, a shirt, and pants in order to be served a cup of rich, aromatic coffee!?! No man has that right! Only a petty tyrant would ask a simple workingman like myself to bear such a ridiculous burden.

Can I recommend the banana slicer and Haribo Sugarless gummy bears? Oh and for even more fun the steering wheel tray.

Note: I mean the reviews not the products.

Not quite as funny, but maybe still worth a chuckle:

https://www.amazon.de/Hildegard-Orgo...ords=hildegard

(it's in german, sorry)

If nothing else, the fact that someone is successfully(?) selling those is laughworthy...

Let's not forget the t-shirt.

One of the iconic items for ... interesting ... reviews at Amazon is the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt. Some of them are relevant, but most are highly imaginative.

And they've led to a pretty cool video!




(Actually, it seems there is at least one additional video.)

No funny reviews there though.
