Title: Zombie Desert - Zombie Desert Box Map

Welcome to the litter-box...er, I mean the map Zombie Desert. It could be the world’s largest litter-box I guess, but there isn't a cat in the world that would waste his butt truffles on this mess. When I loaded up this map, I was surprised to be surrounded by such beautiful weaponry, then I realised something, why the hell would someone place state-of-the-art weaponry in the middle of the desert? Then it clicked within me, ‘Right. I see how this works, the mapper has dropped me into a wasteland and the one thing I may want to use to keep myself from committing digital suicide is the one thing the mapper took away from me’. This military base may be vacant of anything useful and/or fun, but they've got TVs with everyone's favourite show on them. No, not Seinfeld, Naruto, silly!
There is also a custom Box model, which is a toilet, so you can literally flush your money down the toilet while trying to get the weapon that you so desperately desire. This map boasts about its vast array of weaponry, and it’s not wrong, it has a Halo gun, and guns from so many other games that it feels like it’s trying harder to please you than a Back-Street Hooker. And there are some beautiful guns in the mystery-toilet-box too so I'm not minimizing that either, but it ends up feeling more like an analogy of dating Paris Hilton. What you get may look attractive, but you've got to take like 50 showers after you get it.
Even then, these guns are so piss poor that it isn’t even fun running around with these weapons, as you spend more time either flushing your life savings down the toilet for a good weapon, or just jump out of the map and run around (and through) the vehicles outside. I think this mapper's best weapon is attrition between the tanks I can't use, the Naruto overdose and the porcelain confessional / armoury - moral couldn't be brought any lower...unless my ex-girlfriend showed up with a new boyfriend. Whenever I play this map, no matter how many times I try, this map will always feel like a child has just dumped his collection of model toys in his backyard sandpit, got half-way through assembling it, then ran off to get a cookie from mother. Although the mapper won’t admit it, this map is the epitome of box maps, meaning it is the shiniest turd in the toilet bowl.
Overall, if you managed to survive your 30 rounds of complete and utter shit, and didn’t think once about leaving the game to do something better with your life, then congratulations, you just wasted those precious hours of yours, which you could’ve spent playing leviathan, which came out at the same time as this Sandpit.

I think theres a fine line between "humour" and just insulting peoples work, or people themselves lol ;)

Not a very good review.

Simply flaming a map while giving absolutely no context as to why you're flaming it isn't funny, it's confusing and gives the reader no idea what the map even is. I still don't actually understand what's wrong with the map. Is it because the weapons are bad? Is it because it's a box? I think you might have mentioned those two factors offhand near the middle of the review, but I'm not really sure about that.

Look at Tom's humorous reviews. He gives CONTEXT, and THEN drops the punchline. Not the other way around. Say what you disliked about the map, and then crack a joke about that. If I have no clue what you're joking about, it's not funny.

Furthermore, several jokes and phrases make little-to-no sense.

"...it feels like it’s trying harder to please you than a Back-Street Hooker"
I didn't know that back-street hookers really attempt to please you.

"...it ends up feeling more like an analogy of dating Paris Hilton. What you get may look attractive, but you've got to take like 50 showers after you get it"
An STD test, maybe. But why 50 showers? Would the experience really be that unpleasant?

"...I think this mapper's best weapon is attrition between the tanks I can't use"
I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to mean.

There are more examples, but these are easy ones. Take your time, use your jests sparingly: it's not about the quantity of the jokes, it's about the quality of them.

Oh man Jiffy, this is why comedy is a very hard thing and also shows how a lot of the communication gets lost in writing as opposed to making a video where people can hear intent and emotion in your voice. Don't get too discouraged, stick with it.
I never posted my first funny video review here on UGX because now it's pretty hard for me to watch. It's on my channel and it's called "Frustration". Watching that will probably make you feel better about wherever you are at in life.

Thanks for the tip, I'll remeber next that for next time ;D
