Arguably the most popular Amazon internet joke is the Three Wolf Moon Shirt. Since its introduction onto Amazon in 2008 it has gone on to earn over 2,790 reviews and has become its own meme.

Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz– there’s something poetic about it, is there not? Other Amazon reviewers certainly think so, giving it a 4 star rating despite its inflated dairy pricing of $45.00. Ingredients listed: “secret.” This strange Amazon product has earned a host of comical reviews.
One reviewer crafted a fantastic Edgar Allen Poe-inspired ode to Tuscan Whole Milk, one of the best reviews on Amazon. Below is the beginning – read it in all its glory.

It’s hard to say whether or not Bic’s idea to create a line of pens dedicated to the needs of the fairer sex (slimmer design and – oh my heavens – such pretty colors!) was a joke at conception; one can questions whether they were ever intended to be taken seriously. Whatever the reasoning behind their initial release, the Bic’s For Her Ball Pens quickly rattled the cages of web-wielding cohorts, who bombarded the product’s Amazon page with tongue-in-cheek reviews.

At 85 inches with “4K Ultra HD” Samsung’s UN85S9 HDTV is a super-deluxe television with a price tag to match – it’s listed at just shy of 40k. Is it any wonder this excessive piece of technological travesty became an easy target for internet lampoonery?
There are a number of funny reviews for this product, most mocking the television’s exorbitant pricing. One reviewer says:

However, by far the best – and one of the funniest Amazon reviews ever (IMHO anyway) - comes from James O. Thach, an Amazon Top 500 Reviewer, who tells a sad and sorry tale of sacrifices made in order to obtain this Samsung TV.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that this horse head mask is the most valuable contribution man has made to society since toast (think about it – it use to just be “warm bread” until someone got smart one day). This simple head garb transforms the mundane into Salvador-Dali-eque surrealism.

Introducing an HDMI cord so classy, you can propose to your girlfriend with it! The diamond braided HDMI cable is a whole new way to put yourself into crippling debt while enjoying the best that high definition has to offer. Never mind that it’s 5X as much as the television – the improved picture quality is like totally worth it.
Hopefully we haven’t already forgotten important lessons learned from Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2006 hit Blood Diamond.
