“Funny Reviews”: 80 Times People Decided To Be Comedians While Leaving Reviews

Nowadays, it feels like a huge risk to try a new restaurant without reading the reviews first. What’s the best appetizer to order? How’s the ambiance? Do you need to make a reservation? We’re lucky that we have access to so much information before ordering a pizza.

But it turns out that online reviews can be more than just informative. They can also be incredibly entertaining! We took a trip to the Funny Reviews and Weird Reviews subreddits and gathered some of their most amusing posts below. From comments about pieces of clothing to film critiques, these posts prove that customers can infuse comedy anywhere and everywhere! Enjoy scrolling through these silly reviews, and be sure to upvote the ones that inspire you to be more creative the next time you share your thoughts on a restaurant or product.

How often do you find yourself perusing online reviews? Do you have to see what dozens of customers have said before purchasing something from Amazon? Do you feel the need to look at no less than five options on Yelp before heading out for dinner? According to a survey conducted by Material, a whopping 93% of Americans say that online reviews help them decide what to purchase.

70% of Americans also noted that it’s rare for them to visit a new business without checking out the reviews first. But that doesn’t mean that consumers believe every review they read. 54% admitted that they wouldn’t trust the reviews of a business that explicitly asks customers to leave good reviews, and over two thirds admit that a company has requested they leave a review before.

Material’s survey also found that customers use review websites to find out more than just what consumers thought of the place. Over 50% also use these platforms to view a restaurant’s menu, check their business hours and check a business’ address. 

Many survey respondents also said they use these sites to see photos of a business, find the business’ contact information, check their prices, confirm which services they offer and sometimes even request a price quote for a service.

Customers seem to be much more active on these review platforms than businesses are, though. UpFirst has compiled a list of statistics about online reviews, and they reported that only 5% of businesses reply to customer reviews. But it’s more important for customers to read them, as 95% of consumers say they’ll be willing to pay more for a product or service that has plenty of great reviews to back up its prices.

When it comes to the negative reviews that businesses receive, UpFirst reports that 37% of them can be boiled down to poor communication. This might include unclear or misleading communication from the business, slow response times or failing to respond at all, and/or poor follow-up. Customers never want to feel like they have to chase a business down or hunt for information.

Another common complaint that comes up in negative reviews is poor behavior from the staff. In fact, this accounts for one fifth of negative reviews that businesses receive. And as far as what bothers people the most, nearly three quarters of complaints about the staff came down to being rude, unfriendly and/or disrespectful. However, reviews mentioning these kinds of complaints typically had even more grievances to air. Many also pointed out bad food, long wait times, slow service, dismissive attitudes and more.

One way to make this happen is to make it easy for customers to find your business on review platforms.

It’s also wise to respond to negative reviews. If you can be tactful and try to remedy the situation, you might even be able to win over customers who had a bad experience. Plus, this signals to future customers that you care about them having a positive experience. And they’ll feel more comfortable supporting your business. Meanwhile, when you receive overwhelming positive feedback, don’t hesitate to share that on social media! It might encourage others to share their thoughts too, and it shows the customers that you’re listening.
