"This account is actually run by a few of us at the store. We’re a small operation, so we take turns running social media, working the registers, and cleaning out the return drop box. A lot of people seem to think it’s a trash receptacle even though we taped up a sign that says it’s for movies and games only," "The Last Blockbuster" revealed in an interview to The Daily Dot.

According to one of their tweets, "The Last Blockbuster" is located "in the Oak Park Shopping Center between Ace Hardware and the former O'Kelly Dojo." The hugely popular twitter account already has more than 169K followers but it's not entirely clear whether they exist or it is just a parody account.

1. Funny... but does anybody else hear the name "Blockbuster" and get a little twinge

of sadness? Not sure why, but it just seems like there are no constants....

[Glorfindel]

4. Yes.

[dewsgirl]

5. It really does, I never thought Blockbuster would make me feel nostalgic.

[Sophiegirl]

12. It was great for...

...renting video games for my son.

[Fritz Walter]

13. Not sad,... but a bit guilty

I used to refer to them as Lackluster Video.


These tweets made my day, but I dropped my Twitter account because they refuse to require Drumpf and his ilk to follow the rules the rest of us were required to follow.

Often throws shade at McDonald's, which is usually hilarious.

@erolsvideo I used to slide your Red, Plastic, Foam-lined cases on my forearm and pretend it was a laser cannon.

18. THAT'S WONDERFUL!!!

Even better, if that's possible, than the Amazon reviews of How To Avoid Huge Ships or A Field Guide to North American Shopping Carts

[underpants]

19. Okay I'm looking those up

Of course there is also the classic

Amazon reviews (and questions) of the Hutzler 571 banana slicer

Q: I bought one of these and from the day I set it down in my kitchen, my bananas have stopped talking to me. What now?

A: They are plotting to kill you. Move immediately. Leave bananas. Take slicer. Buy new, non-confrontational bananas.

No more winning for you, Mr. Banana!

For decades I have been trying to come up with an ideal way to slice a banana. "Use a knife!" they say. Well...my parole officer won't allow me to be around knives. "Shoot it with a gun!" Background check...HELLO! I had to resort to carefully attempt to slice those bananas with my bare hands. 99.9% of the time, I would get so frustrated that I just ended up squishing the fruit in my hands and throwing it against the wall in anger. Then, after a fit of banana-induced rage, my parole officer introduced me to this kitchen marvel and my life was changed. No longer consumed by seething anger and animosity towards thick-skinned yellow fruit, I was able to concentrate on my love of theatre and am writing a musical play about two lovers from rival gangs that just try to make it in the world. I think I'll call it South Side Story.

Banana slicer...thanks to you, I see greatness on the horizon.


It goes on and on and on

23. OhMyGod!

I had never heard about the banana slicer.

Yet another fabulous wonder thanks to Amazon.

21. OMG 1,400+ reviews of How to Avoid Huge Ships?

That alone is funny but reading through them was even funnier. I'm laughing so hard my wife told me to get out of the room.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

22. I know, aren't they amazing?

[underpants]

24. Yes

I got through 32 pages not that I read all of the really loooong reviews
