My Favorite Spam Comments (Part II)


Part One of my attempt to troll through my spam box for some funny and ill-timed comments seemed to be met with some modicum of approval and there was a recent discussion on the Travel Bloggers Group on Facebook where some folks asked for more, so here goes Part Two in that effort.

You might have to click on them to be able to read them properly. I had to shrink them down a bit to fit on the screen, but if you click on them, they will expand before your eyes. And given some of the humor is particularly because of which posts they choose to try to comment on, I included the links to the posts under the comments. Enjoy.

  11. Anthony April 5, 2011 at 5:16 am #

    hahahaha! I thought I was the only one who checked my spam for a giggle. I kept getting told I “can get my ex boyfriend back!” from one spammer.

    Funny…I don’t remember ever having one!

    That one from google was too much ;)

    I have a funny spammer too, he is a regular, comments once a month – he writes his name in Russian and the comment in German… I have no clue what he says, but I admire his perseverance.

      That is the damn truth. In years gone by, I worked for my State Attorney General for a bit and got a chance to see the numbers those companies were making… sick.

      She digs me. Big time. If I was only a famous football star…. she’d be mine.

  17. Theodora April 6, 2011 at 12:45 am #

    The vocabulary here is truly laudable, thanking you to inform. Are you privy to the original fact whether these commenters have a thesaurus bot to impart such unique knowledge?

    • Michael Hodson April 6, 2011 at 11:54 am #

      Their extensive vocabulary dwarfs mine…. and makes me feel shameful for not paying attention more in school.

    this is simply hilarious! i’m having so much fun :D

    • Michael Hodson April 6, 2011 at 11:51 am #

      thank you! Glad to bring a fellow blogger a smile or two.

  19. Bluegreen Kirk April 6, 2011 at 12:36 pm #

    Simply wonderful, you would think that they would be a little better at spamming, lol. Love the picture of the SPAM have actually had that since I was a kid.

    Fantastic! You get some really great spam comments. The aggressive one about the electric bill is my favorite.

      I loved, loved, loved that one. Cracked me up as soon as I read it.

  22. Katherina April 16, 2011 at 2:44 am #

    These comments are way better than the ones I receive, which only try to sell me some of their products… most of them, products A GIRL doesn’t need (or even wants to know they exist…). I lost my innocence after reading some of my spam comments!

      the loss of innocence via spam… sad, but somehow seems quite 21st century ;)

  23. Maria Pavel April 16, 2011 at 4:12 pm #

    Yeah! I like to read some of my spam comments but I get way too many for some time. IPersonal i laughing when i see those huuuuuge comments (those are really bizarre!).

      the really, really long ones with dozens and dozens of links in it are the ones that make me laugh the most.

  24. Suzy April 18, 2011 at 2:22 pm #

    I usually just click the “empty spam” button, but I think I may have to go give a few a read after reading some of yours. I do love the classic, “wow, there are a lot of spam comments on your site! You may want to do something about that”.
