Every day we get about fifty spam comments that promise everything from naked pictures of Lady GaGa to free payday loans (all of which get caught in a spam filter and then get deleted). This one (left on our Pulling Out The Rug post by “Lexus Dealer”) made me snort. As far as spam comments go, it’s definitely more entertaining than most.
No further explanation necessary.
Elizabeth says
Oh my…
Snickrsnack Katie says
OMG that is priceless!
Maggie Rose says
I really like how some spam is really positive. Like “This writing is top notch” (who says “top notch” anymore, besides spam?). And “This is the best I’ve read on this subject” when it’s an update on our dining room project (I hope no one else is posting new photos of the inside of our home….). Of course, then there are the nasty ones too, but the positive, chirpy ones are kind of funny. I still don’t post them.
Sally says
That is hysterical! And gross.
Brigid says
That is beyond random…I mean; really?! haha.
Lucy says
I, too, snorted. Out loud at my office. Hilarious and so, so random. Thanks for the Friday laughs!
Rebecca says
That is awesome!
Morgan @ PepperDesignBlog.com says
A-mazing. That’s the funniest I’ve ever seen! I get some awfully random spam comments and it makes me wonder, is it actually worth the spammer’s time? Who really approves comments about free loans and easy money?? And who clicks on them!
Elisa says
Maybe it wasn’t spam! Maybe they genuinely regret a bad snack experience! Haha. So weird.
allie.duckienz says
That is what I thought. Now imagine how bad they’re feeling now after reading this post :(
elizabeth says
(insert look of utter confusion)
Melody says
what does that even mean?
Krystal says
Hilarious! I like to read the subject lines in my spam e-mails before I delete them, just because you sometimes get the rare and random line like “Maintain Your Weight. Amputate!”
brandt @ New House on the Blog says
amazing how much truth is in that statement…
err….
I wonder what kind of algorithm they’ve got working for their spam bots?
Ami @ beyondpeasandcarrots says
haha random. It certainly grabs your attention though.
Hally says
Thanks for the laugh Sherry, I needed it!
Samantha says
Hee hee, I think they meant to post this on the Clover Lane blog! http://memoriesoncloverlane.blogspot.com/2010/10/toilet-photos-lame-posts-and.html
Too funny!
Sophie says
Haha! Sometimes I wonder what people aim to achieve by attempting to post spam comments like that… I reaaaally can’t work this one out!
Derrick says
I have to say, this blog has gotten so much more enjoyable now that you guys are posting whenever it strikes your fancy.
Re-reading the previous sentence, I realize I sound sarcastic, but I promise I mean it.
Jessica @ How Sweet says
LOL! Definitely the best I’ve seen!
Caitlin says
Do you guys ever read webcomics? This one’s full of geek jokes, but this comic from the other day reminds me of this:

mike @ the lil house that could says
Oh man, you guys should see the spam we get on SongMeanings.net. Just keeping up with spam on that site keeps me incredibly busy!
Laura says
That would be George Carlin! :)
Holyoke Home says
I am so confused. Is he selling toilets or candy bars?

I’m so confused. Is he selling toilets or candy bars?
YoungHouseLove says
Haha. Probably neither. He just wants to make money if people click his URL link in the comment.

Caroline Porter says
The fact that it was “sent via Blackberry” makes you wonder if they were currently pondering their chocolate bar eating on the toilet, while actually on the toilet. Hmm…
Beth-BTW says
That is hilarious. Like, “trying not to laugh too hard b/c my newborn is sleeping on my chest” kinda funny.
I am totally naive, though. What does one gain from posting such a thing as a comment on a message board? Why bother? I get the loan and drugs ones – they want to make money. What does Mr. Toilet Eater stand to gain?
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Beth,
We’ll admit we’re not spam pros but we believe they want people to click their comment URL to learn more (and they make money from the clicks with ads). Maybe the spanner has learned that crazy comments like that get noticed, and therefore get more clicks? Dunno.

Abbey says
I’m still laughing. Love it.
Cait @ Hernando House says
Wow… just, wow… Haha
Tessa says
That is amazing.
liz @ bon temps beignet says
lmao, I get weird google searches like “hello with cheese” HUH???

Lindsay says
Hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing!! Definitely needed a good laugh on a Friday afternoon.
Becky says
hahaha omg…that is sooo random! I laughed out loud at work.
Linda says
Hahaha, totally cracked me up!
Nancy says
Super funny. I love that you snorted haha. Those are the best kind of laughs.
Lindsay@Tell'er All About It says
OMG! HILARIOUS!
…made…my….day! Along with realizing it’s Friday – WHOO!
Christine aka The Stampin' Ninja says
Um, no, can’t say that I DO know that feeling but uh, thanks for sharing?
LOL! I seriously laughed out loud! Yeah for spam catchers though, no?
Mindy says
BRWAAHAHHAHAH!
You guys should post your funny spams all the time!
Katherine says
Baha.
emily & faith says
My 8yo was reading over my shoulder and goes “who would do that?” LOL!
Gina at Temporary Nest says
thats hilarious! and totally absurd.
Kate @ Twenty-Six To Life says
That is so unbelievably awesome. Too funny.
Sarah S says
Ahahaha! Niiiiice. Thanks for the laugh today!
megan e says
hope it’s a baby ruth!
Sara @ House Bella says
Wow. Amazing!
Suzie @ cupcake monkey says
Well there’s something you don’t hear everyday! Awesome! ahahaha
Kari says
Hahahahaha!
I’d like to know if one of your readers tries this out and lets us know if it indeed is an odd feeling!
Marci says
I was just thinking about how much work that you guys must do behind the scenes (like setting up spam filters and reviewing comments, etc) and was wondering if you could hire a high school or college intern to help you guys out. A lot of interns don’t get paid and are just grateful for the opportunity and you guys certainly have a pretty good gig going that I bet people would be knocking down the door for an opportunity.
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Marci,
We’ve thought about that but you know we love to DIY things- it’s hard for us to delegate because we love doing things ourselves! Oh well, never say never…

Melissa E. says
That’s a spam message? That’s fantastic.
Why is it I get prompts to make *ahem* bits bigger, or please my ladies better? Both options I doubt my husband would appreciate me partaking in.
Never anything about eating chocolate… anywhere.
Selina says
I totally bet it was Nate…
YoungHouseLove says
Haha, yes he’s a secret reader masquerading as a spammer.

Sara boulter says
No way!!!! I got the exact same spam comment 2 days ago! I got the notification via email on my phone when I was at my sisters house and we had a really good laugh. I thought someone I knew did it and made it look like spam. Now I feel cooler because we share a spammer. This is so exciting!!!
