Who leave bad reviews due to their own stupidity.

Fuck you Chris!

...patiently awaits the arrival of anyone who gets that reference...

No no no! I bought Home Taxidermy kindle edition by clicking 'buy with one click' by mistake! How do I send it back?! I was only looking for the humorous link!

My particular favourite is the one for the talking plush rastamouse.

INAPPROPRIATE!!!!!
It sounds as he he says 'this is really good weed'
Says disgusted of tunbridge wells

No it fecking doesnt.
He says this is a really good riddem.

Methinks someone is projecting their dodgy views onto a toy Hmm

fhdl34 · 10/03/2012 13:58

popcorn I love you, thank you for sharing, best laugh I've had in ages. I've been looking for a 20in canvas of Paul Ross...

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 10/03/2012 15:05

Acekicker the oddest thing about the reviews for that is the 'other things viewed' Shock

fuzzpig · 10/03/2012 15:20

My favourite was the scathing review of the (classic!) film It's a Wonderful Life... scathing because apparently it copied a scene (I think the one where he's running down the high street and it's all changed?) from the film Back to the Future. Apparently it's a total rip off because it's stolen a scene from the film made a few decades after it Hmm

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 10/03/2012 15:38

I bought a back brush (shower thingy) for OH for Christmas. He asked me for one, he is not easy to buy for Hmm

I was very impressed with the review left that said 'Its a stick with a brush on it, what do you want me to say? It works'

You really wonder about the sanity of some of the serious reviewers. This loon Lady mentions her great-grandfather, "Grandpapa William". It's William Marshall, born 1147 Hmm.

There was another review that she had commented on, a book about a woman who lived centuries ago, who she called her "Grandmama Meg" or something. I can't find that now.

MrsDeV the show I'm referencing got a good 15 minutes out of the 'also viewed' :-D

SowsEar · 10/03/2012 20:38

I have bought the Home taxidermy book too! Sounds great fun.

droves · 10/03/2012 21:10

Mabey we should link the taxidermy book to the MIL threads ?

Might solve a few issues.

openerofjars · 10/03/2012 22:35

Thank you once again, MN, for making me cry with laughter.

The Tuscan Whole Milk reviews have made me cry.

openerofjars · 10/03/2012 22:36

That last post would have been less repetitive if I could see through my tears.

TheUnsinkableTitanic · 10/03/2012 23:09

i actually think i have wet myself

and i have snorted loudly

this is why i love mumsnet

Housemum · 10/03/2012 23:12

I now have to delete all these from my browsing history on Amazon, otherwise feck knows what it's keep recommending for me now!

Not found any different amusing ones lately but the ones that make me want to bang my head on the desk are the muppets that mark things as 1 star because it was the wrong size, or that they couldn't mark it higher as it was a present and they hadn't seen it opened.

BoffinMum · 10/03/2012 23:26

Can someone explain to me why DH doesn't laugh at this stuff with me?

He is surely a humour philistine.

pikachusmate · 10/03/2012 23:33

Or he's secretly ordered something on this thread.

TwoIfBySea · 11/03/2012 00:21

Jump the review that mentions the author's stab at Wagner's Ring not being as good as "Probing Fanny By Gaslight" nearly ended me there.

befuzzled · 11/03/2012 00:28

Peter Andre review:

"at least when he's writing, he's not singing.."

My ribs are actually hurting now after 2 evenings on this thread.

mogwhistle · 11/03/2012 03:30

Howled at these Grin andThanks

InsomniaQueen · 11/03/2012 07:30

Just too funny - I actually had to hold my stomach.....to stop my insides getting out!!!! (I have an umbilical hernia which must be held in place during bouts of laughter, sneezing and coughing)

This has made my day, thank you all!!! Thanks

redrubyshoes · 11/03/2012 17:20

I loved the one (sadly deleted) where two women had a massive fight over one who loved Andre Rieu DVD's and another one who loved Mills and Boons books.

That got nasty.

This was on a review site for a guy who only ever listens to jazz Confused
