I don't get the joke. And I thought everyone knew about the Tuscan Milk (see 991 reviews):

And let's not forget the Badonkadonk:

In the case of this particular review, however, I think the "helpfulness" votes indicate that readers enjoyed the review more than found it helpful.

On the other hand, the value of the reviews on these sites goes down the older they get.
On Amazon it seems like the opposite is true. Because of their meta-review process, where users can flag reviews as helpful or not, it seems like old and classic reviews tend to float to the top, while recent ones have a significant hurdle to overcome before they make it to the front page. See for example here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262011530
(Admittedly, users can also be fickle and support other kinds of reviews for different reasons, cf. http://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Whole-Milk-Gallon-128/dp/B00032...)
I don't know, this milk is pretty amazing.

If you've never seen it, the Tuscan Whole Milk reviews have become a work of art. No, really. Go to http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00032G1S0/ref=azfs_379213722_Tusca... and start reading.
However my favorite Amazon review of all time remains The Story of Ping: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2VDKZ4X1F992Q
That's a totally different issue. There are multiple products on Amazon that develop a "following" (either because the product is ridiculous on its face, or because it's so ordinary ), and manage to accumulate all sorts of reviews, from funny to poetic. See https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-amazon-reviews/ and https://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Dairy-Whole-Vitamin-Gallon/dp/... as examples.
