This page was created to share amusing comments and responses from OzBargain Deals/Forum Posts. Please feel free to add to the list if you find something amusing.

The purpose of this thread is not to ridicule users, but to show the lighter side of OzBargain. If you feel this isn't the case, please contact moderators so we can all discuss. Talks between the user and the mod team can be done via this private forum section.

1. A new user introduces himself in the forum and asks for tips for new users. Neil advises him that he shouldn't sockpuppet and is sent to the penalty box.

2. Kingtightass talking about Virgin mobile credit.

3. A deal where AFL ponchos were given away for free ($3 shipping). Every team was sold out, except Carlton themed ones.

4. Mr_asstight talking about vaseline.

5. Multiple comments on this thread where COTD was selling 10 condoms for $2 delivered.

6. Comments on this bra-related deal.

7. Stewballs suggesting that multiplying pricematches may cause an inception style event. (might need to see inception to get the joke)

9. A post about cheap canvas shoes became a haven for bad shoe-related puns.

10. A deal regarding a 100% cashback on selected Logitech products brought on jokes about Broden, only to have Broden himself post. (see the original comment from Broden that sparked the jokes here)

11. A post about Amazon.co.uk applying free shipping to international orders (t+cs apply) provoked a comment by user Pobman to ask someone to tell Gerry Harvey about it, only to have user Gerry Harvey post in the thread.

12. In the same post mentioned above, user jeremism commented on the price of the Planet Earth documentary followed by a comment by srum asking what other planets were on sale.

13. A post about free shipping and a few deals on Zavvi and thehut included a mention of the game NBA2K11 that was going for $30. User kcyw then mistakenly thought that NBA2K11 was a code for the site and asked for help when it didn't work.

14. A deal for a i7-950 Custom-built Desktop PC from Budget PC had people commenting about the parts cost from MSY. User stewballs then said he'd rather spend a bit of money to not visit MSY at all. Knowledge of MSY's service probably required to get the joke.

15. A user commenting on the short expiry of prepaid sim gets cut off mid post prompting hilarious reply from tantryl.

16. User p3t0r posted a deal for an external hard drive and then later uploaded his receipt that included a staff discount (and associated details) on it. Upon the suggestion to black out that portion of the receipt he did so only to have someone claim that theysaved the old picture before p3t0r reuploaded it, which linked to a rickroll video on youtube.

17. chloden posted a deal from CBA that was exclusive to NAB customers. (trying to make them switch banks) thushan then posted this comment.

18. User Jesmond received over 180 positive votes on this deal because of the hilarious description, even thought the product was sold cheaper elsewhere, as seen here with timestamp. Sense of humour required :) From the same thread, this comment and more importantly its response are also quite amusing, among many other comments. The thread was later moved to the forums by a mod.

20. deeps posted an opportunity to receive a free 128MB USB stick and this was followed by a lot of amusing comments :)

22. Previously posted already, mustkill reposted a deal for $5 Wonderchairs with free delivery. In the comments it was asked why the chair had its name, followed by an answer by Tightbottom. After the previous post BigW had run out of stock, so mustkill reposted when he noticed that they once again had stock.

23. Harvey Norman Big Buys' Digital Marketing Coordinator oztrez submitted a deal for a Schick Quattro Razor + 9 Blade Cartridges. Gerry Harvey then told oztrez to "keep up the good work"

24. “Mathematics is fun”. User kurtz put a negative vote on a 2.5" external hard drive deal with his justification being a post comparing the cost per GB between the 2.5” drive in the deal and other 3.5” drives, using seemingly complicated mathematics. He then finished his post by saying "Mathematics is fun! Let me know if I made any errors." He was then torched by other members.

25. A rep put up a bargain with the bargain being that if you buy half a KG of jerky, you get it for half the price of 1KG! http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/47102

32. A deal for a bulk set of condoms was quickly followed by a highly-rated comment by altomic and several other condom related comments.

Most negative votes: Has been awarded to Dick Smith here with 361 negative votes (& 353 positives). According to the voting stats for the deal, a large number of people also revoked their vote (so potentially the negative votes could have been even higher, since a revoked positive vote cannot be turned into a negative vote)

Most negative votes (net): Has been awarded to centrecom here with 28 negative votes, and 3 positives.

Most positive votes: Has been awarded to nanoronline with 748 positive votes for posting that Google was offering 10c apps on the Android Market. The deal received 0 negative votes. Contributing to its high vote count was the combination of getting votes before the deal went live plus 10 days in the highlighted deals section.

Most negative votes on a comment: Has been awarded to Broden with 201 negative votes for his comment here for boasting about 10 PS3s that he bought for $199, and selling then for $380. It was then found by user jiakz that he only bought one PS3, which he then admitted to.
