About

November 18th, 2009

There are things money can’t buy.  Love.  Admiration.  There are also things money won’t buy.  Like an old couch torn to shreds by an army of cats.  It turns out that the cliché is wrong: one man’s trash is usually another man’s trash, too.  The posts you see here are created by people hoping to defy the odds.  To unload the un-unloadable.  To recycle the worst of everything.  In short, this is about optimism . . . and its tragic consequences.

    Commenteur :
    I also enjoy the site.
    But may I suggest, humbly, that less is more (in regard to the commentaries written for each item).
    Brevity is the soul of wit.

    briefly: You’re wrong!

    Can I even describe how much I love this site?

    I’d have to say the Soy Sauce post was my favorite. :D

    I love this site! :) Two comments. First, I think that you should have a “???” choice in addition to the thumbs up/thumbs down for when the advertisement is beyond the rationality of human beings! :) Second, I wonder if anyone else is having this difficulty. I realize that the pages are somewhat graphics-intensive, but it takes between 1 and 2 minutes for the page to advance in my screen when I click on the scroll bar. (Dragging the scrollbar slider or turning the mouse wheel only results in a two-line advance – which also takes 1 to 2 minutes.) I’m only having difficulty on this one site. Other icanhascheezburger sites seem to be much faster. Any ideas that might help would be appreciated! Thank you! :)

    I found your site through “I Can Haz Cheezburger” this week while stuck home sick as a dog, and I can honestly say that even though I have been at death’s door repeatedly, your posts brought me back time and again. Thanks for such a wonderful comic gem.

    Most days I check this site before I check my email. The items are horrifically amusing, and your commentary is funnier than all the other comic sites I’ve visited. Keep up the great work.

    I love your site! So hilarious! What really makes it is your witty comments and sayings afterward…I have to agree the soy sauce add was very hilarious…But I think the “Female Sperm Doner” is great too. “If so, let me tell you, you are not healthy. You are not at all healthy.”

    Haha! Love it, keep it up! *****

    Where has Nit Picker gone? I miss Nit Picker’s posts terribly!!

    • Stephen says:

      Hate to disappoint you Seth, but Nit Picker and I are one and the same. I just started using my name instead. So I guess I’m just getting worse. C’est la vie.

  10. Deanne says:

    I miss Nit Picker, too. =( How can you be the same person, Stephen? My experience has been that very funny people are often suffering from depression internally. Have you been happy lately?

  11. Deanne says:

    (P.S. I love you, Nit Picker, wherever you are. You literally turned my life around. That might sound silly, till you see my life, and you’d say, yes, it was inevitable that someone as funny as me could make you enjoy life again for the first time in years.)

    Seriously. Your comments go on waaaaaay too long, and they aren’t that funny. What a waste.

    Go to Regretsy and learn from their example. Fast, funny, brief zingers.

    Not like the plodding, pointless drivel you drone on with. Wrap it up. Move on.

    After finishing a niche site for hemorrhoid sufferers and another one for a dark circles, baggy eyes cure (same product btw), the humor gods somehow caused me to stumble upon your website.

    I’ve been here @ten minutes and already experienced the same joy I felt when I discovered “Seinfeld” and “Cure Your Enthusiasm”.

    “Item Not As Described” is a Tonight Show skit on steroids! Take it from a guy who sells hemorrhoid cream, this is the world’s funniest website!
