Online shopping definitely has its perks. You get to sit in front of your computer in your pajamas and pick whatever you want. But of course, there are drawbacks like being fast with that trigger and then getting second thoughts.

The other issue is whether that item will live up to your expectations. And that's where reviews come in. I'm notorious for reading them. Sometimes though, they're better than the actual items, and if you want to know what I mean, check them out below.

Funny Amazon review of an inflatable bed
reddit | u/Debatsy

"Beds should look like beds." OMG, I'm laughing so hard at this. Hey, at least this person is honest. Let this serve as a warning to you. Never buy anything online when you're drunk and hungry. Who knows what else this guy got in the mail the next day.

This Manly Review

reddit | u/wlwfb10

Here's a man who's not afraid to admit he likes candles, and he'll happily tell you all about it. Honestly, when I read this review, I couldn't help but laugh and immediately pictured the scenario he described in my head. I give this review A+.

This Honest Question

Amazon question about pepper spray

Not only do I read customer reviews, but I also often glance at the Q&A section. This interesting inquiry caught my eye. Um, I agree with the person who answered it. If you run out of pepper spray, it's time to move somewhere else, hee-hee.

This Funny DVD Review

Funny review of The Wolf of Wall Street on Amazon
reddit | u/SassMasterGingerSnap

"Beware: not a nature documentary." You got that right, lol. Why would anybody think that The Wolf of Wall Street was a one anyway? Beats me. But I bet this review made many people scratch their heads and start howling uncontrollably. Or was it just me?

This Laptop Case Winner

funny Amazon review about a laptop case
reddit | u/ImmortalSheep

Okay, as the reviewer says, don't try this at home. Apparently, this woman has a tendency to hide her laptop inside the oven for whatever reason. And on this one faithful day, she forgot about it and turned the oven on. However, even though the sturdy case caught on fire, the laptop was fine. Wow! I'm impressed.

This Mom Rant

runny Amazon dress review from a mom of ungrateful teenager
reddit | u/PleasantAmphibian101

Oh my, talk about a mom on a rant, huh? I love everything about this review here. The best part is when she said the dress gave her a distraction to tune her daughter out. That one had me in stitches, alright.

This Hilarious Roomba Review

runny cleaning robot Amazon review
reddit | u/guavamochi

This Existential Crisis

This Fart Trap

OMG, what? Say it isn't so, ha, ha. Who knew that a super comfortable bean bag comes with an unintended consequence. Don't say I didn't warn you that if you allow your husband to sit in it all day farting, you'll get a not-so-nice surprise later.

This Best Leggings Review Ever

If you're looking for sturdy leggings that won't rip on you, better read this review. The fact that this woman posted a picture of her rolling down a mountain is hilarious on its own. Who took this shot? I need to know, but at least you know your leggings won't give up on you, lol. I'm sold!

This Fun Buster

Amazon review of a large beach ball
reddit | Reddit | dawnmoon13760

Oh my goodness, ha, ha. That's the funniest review I've read so far. I guess it's a fair warning for you. If you take a chance on getting this ball, you need to deal with the consequences. That's all.
