Funny Amazon Reviews That’ll Make You Shake Your Head

The point of Amazon is for people to buy items and have them shipped to their homes.

But, I have to say, you can really get lost in their product reviews if you take the time because so many of these are just plain weird and hilarious.

Are you ready to see what I’m talking about?

Take a look!

Amazon Reviews That Got Very Personal

Most of us have used Amazon at some point, and that’s because  Jeff Bezos knows exactly how to take our money.

But we can fight back against the always-grinning, cash-devouring capitalist cardboard monster known as Jeffy with some snappy, and delightful, personal reviews on the products we purchase from his behemoth of a website.

Let’s check out some of the best examples…

1. Morgan Freeman narrates…

“Ahhh, yes, the mighty man-wolves of Wall street. Fueled on designer drugs and delicious penny stocks. Very beautiful, very powerful.”

So like, where are the wolves? from amazonreviews

2. Math is hard, dude.

2(b) or not 2(b)=?

Graphing calculator from amazonreviews

3. Dammit, Janet.

I can still hear you in my soul.

4. That art degree, tho.

Currently cutting it as a sandwich artist. And blog writer. You want that toasted?

5. A barrel of fun.

Shove that in your Keystone pipeline.

55 Gallons of Lubricant from amazonreviews

6. Shoulda’ bought the Dutch oven.

But I’m fine with the bag of precooked beans.

It’s a trap! from amazonreviews

7. There’s a joke here.

I’m not the one to make it.

I love when reviewers post photos from amazonreviews

8. One-ply is just as bad.

Whoa, ah hot! Hot, hot, hot. Hothothothot.

Too much pain and agony from amazonreviews

9. The geese are dead, Karen.

I SAID THE GEESE ARE DEAD, KAREN!

On a review for down pillows….thanks for the clarification from amazonreviews

10. 10/10 would roll down this hill again.

Only in these pants–and only in every other color.

Ok, I’m sold! from amazonreviews

11. “When was the last time we played Nightcrawlers?”

Only with the good lube, Charlie.

“It’s lube, not much more to say” from amazonreviews

12. Hey, girl.

Nice leg…gings

"I should have picked a different color" from amazonreviews

13. I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready.

15. Swing away.

I know a fairy that would pay for a swing or two with that for a handful of change.

Review on fake teeth from amazonreviews

Reviews are important because they give a company or service an accurate and firsthand account of their product or service, so don’t ever stop with the accurate accounts of such things. If you know what I mean.

Do you have a funny review story, tell us about it in the comments!

A Man Proved That 5 “Self-Made Billionaires” Had a Lot of Help Getting to the Top

We all love to hear that old, classic story of the boot-strapped self-made billionaire, right? It inspires us all to think that anyone can achieve anything if they just work for it hard enough.

The trouble is, that isn’t usually true. Sure, every so often someone might pull off the unthinkable, but generally, most very successful people have had help somewhere along the way.

For many people, that often means having been born into a family that already has considerable wealth.

This is definitely the case for each of these 5 “self-made” billionaires that are regularly touted as having done all the work by themselves.

Recently, one man decided to break apart why each of the people on this list isn’t as self-made as they might want you to believe.

1. Jeff Bezos

We all know the story of Amazon, right? Jeff Bezos founded the company in 1994 in his garage. It’s pretty impressive!

Well, the truth is, Jeff had a hefty investment from two wealthy benefactors: his mom and dad.

2. Bill Gates

As Aidan explains, this “rags to riches” storyline is often found in the biographies of the rich and famous.

However, it’s not usually entirely… true.

Oh yeah… Bill had A LOT of help.

Sure, Bill Gates has skills, but he definitely had significant help along the way.

3. Warren Buffet

Warren is a well-known investor, and his whole story goes like this: he was a scrappy kid who was just really good at investing.

Except, well, his dad was… a pretty big deal.

If you want to see something REALLY eye opening… look at how much wealth Buffet had accumulated by the time he left… HIGH SCHOOL.

4. Mark Zuckerberg

Many people know the general story surrounding the founding of Facebook. Mark started the site when he was in college. Precocious, right?

Well, Mark was getting by on more than just his brain.

The tuition for the school he attended alone was more than many families make in a year.

He was also fortunate to already be in the right social circles.

5. Kylie Jenner

Kylie has managed to build a massive cosmetics empire by a young age. It’s really impressive!

But there’s no denying that she comes from a wildly successful and wealthy family.

Without the connections afforded to her by her family, it’s not likely that she would be in the position she is today… just like everyone else on this list.

Can you believe some of those stories?

It’s truly impressive what each of these people has built, and it’s also worth knowing how they got to where they are.

Don’t forget to share this eye-opener with your friends, and let us know which part surprised you the most in the comments!

Here are some reviews that will probably leave you laughing.

1. That’s a good point.

2. Didn’t even watch the whole thing.

3. Not women, but children.

4. Damn liberal propaganda.

5. Neil Armstrong definitely saw aliens, so I don’t why they left them out in the movie.

6. Not a fan of guys in tights.

7. Those poor criminals.

8. The movie came out in 1939.

9. Maybe he was lying?

10. Cold is a way better title.

11. Hahahaha. This is good.

Samuel L. Jackson’s Voice Has Arrived on Alexa. With Profanity and All…

I live in an Alexa household, even though we’re well aware we’ve invited the government and big business and probably more eyes and ears into our homes. It just makes it so easy to add things to the grocery list, turn the lights off and on (because who wants to stand up?), play music, and on and on.

Even so, I’ll be the first person to say that Alexa’s voice can quickly go from pleasant to annoying, depending on one’s mood.

Do you know whose melodious voice is always welcome, though?

One Samuel L. Jackson.

And now, he can be the voice turning your lights on and adding stuff to your shopping list.

The Guardian is reporting that Amazon has confirmed they will be using neural text-to-speech technology to mimic Jackson’s voice, so it won’t just be pre-recorded phrases – Jackson can do anything from read you the weather to sing you Happy Birthday.

He won’t be able to help with your shopping, reminders, lists, or other Alexa Skills. Womp-womp.

This is all with Samuel L. Jackson’s approval, of course, and you’re certainly aware that the award-winning actor is as famous for his blue language as his performance skills – which is why Alexa is going to allow you to set your device to allow him to swear appropriately in his responses.

Which you know, is just a win for everyone involved, really.

You’ll be able to download the technology for just $.99 to start, but if you want to keep it forever, eventually you’ll have to pay $4.99.

If you’re someone like my sister, who gets prissy about profanity, don’t worry – Amazon promises that deals with other celebrities are in the works, and before long “Alexa” could be just about anyone you like.

Which is a little terrifying.

Jeff Bezos Just Gave $98.5 Million to Help the Homeless

Jeff Bezos is the man behind Amazon, and he’s also the richest person in the world (he and Bill Gates go back and forth). Now, he’s trying to do his part to help those who are less fortunate, specifically the homeless population of America.

Bezos recently donated $98.5 million to 32 organizations in 23 U.S. states to help out homeless families. The donations to the different organizations range from $1.25 million to $5 million.

The businessman started his Bezos Day One Fund in September 2018 and has pledged that he will give $2 billion to the fund. His charity is focused on two different areas: helping out organizations that feed homeless families, and helping to establish Montessori-inspired preschools across the United States.

In 2018, Bezos donated $97.5 million to 24 organizations fighting homeless in 16 states across the U.S.

Here is the full list of organizations across the country that received donations in 2019.

Bethany House Services, Cincinnati, OH • $1.25 million
Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, Spokane, WA • $5 million
Catholic Social Services Alaska, Anchorage, AK • $5 million
Coburn Place, Indianapolis, IN • $1.25 million
Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness, Hartford, CT • $2.5 million
Covenant House, New York, NY • $5 million
Family Gateway, Dallas, TX • $2.75 million
