Amusing Engrish from Item Listings

[Aunt Carol]

I just get a kick out of these sometimes. Not just awkward translations, but funny or baffling or strangely poetic ones.



YOU KNOW THE JOURNEY


REPLENISH INCENSE AT ANY TIME

Spoiler: not Engrish, but it reminded me of the Zybourne Clock

Spoiler: High quality Penis fun! in the Bath or Shower

OUTDOOR LEISURE -- overall good design; really like the sense of world-changing impact from the frog shoes


Avoid hand-off anti-urination bias

I love engrish on cheapo products, but with the advent of online sales, you got to keep the classics alive.



I always get turned off of a product when I see any engrish or even just a notable typo for an online listing. The few times I ignore my gut instinct, the product always breaks after a few days. On the other hand, DIY stuff I get with engrish or typos are generally pretty high quality, so I think it's people with a genuine skill in their hobby being mixed with knockoff scam artists.

Wish and Temu sell shoe insoles that advertise "stepping on shit feeling".

This is nearly always true, but I did buy those emergency pee bags and they're legit, at least as kids go. haw

I know what they're going for here, but I love the delivery:




The jingle bell retailers wash their hands of them after they ship; what you do with the bells is on your own conscience:

I'm probably gonna get shit on for pointing out the obvious, but you know Obvious Plant is a joke brand, right?

I love Engrish, let me offer an example from my country…The COCK store in Benghazi.

I see that cock soup mix on sale everywhere around here. I try not to giggle when I walk past it. They also make a pumpkin soup mix. Apparently cock flavor is somewhat different from regular chicken flavor.

Yeah, the egg thing is fake, but I still love it.

I've still yet to hear an explanation for this.

"Dick" used to be a term for steamed pudding, in the same sense as "dog" and "dough" and "duff" (e.g. plum duff). The spots would be the raisins.

The passage of time has made the name hilarious, so of course they're going to keep using it. It's not like it's problematic or anything.

Ordinary Paragraph is a highly sought after feature.

The way the cat looks in the picture it almost makes it seem like the balls silence you cat by killing it.

That one makes it sound like it hits your animals with a ray that makes them suddenly have to poop immediately. YOU POOP NOW!

It's a regional dialect!

These two pairs well


Not engrish but it elicits the same feelings.

I haven't seen a lot of good engrish lately, but on a related note there's a lot of awkward photoshops in pet supplies that I find amusing.

I love "Soft intimacy." These are great, like someone really wants a rat but they can't have one not after last time so they're making motivational images for their imagination palace.

This isn't really engrish, more like just bad naming for a slav product. It's a sort of cranberry tea marketed heavily via TV commercials towards old people with fucked up urinary tracts because apparently cranberries are very helpful. You'll typically see this ad back to back with several others for incontinence pills and pads and shit, it's pretty funny how it makes my parents recoil when they see it. Slav TV is pure class.
The golden gaytime ice cream is fucking great though, I've never heard of that one before.
