1	Regretsy was a website specifically created for the purpose of poking fun at horrendous creations on [[http://www.etsy.com/?ref=so_home Etsy]]. Ranging from the hilarious to the horrifying, no creation was spared from the unbridled [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] of Helen Killer (better known as voice actor Creator/AprilWinchell), the genius behind the site.

3	Sadly, the site is now defunct, and its original address, [[http://www.regretsy.com/ regretsy.com]], now redirects to Winchell's personal web site.

5	----
6	!!This website contained examples of:
7	* BerserkButton: Etsy resellers.
8	* BlatantLies: Some sellers claim that some items are handmade when they clearly are not.
9	* CloudCuckooLander: Evidently, some of the crafters featured on Regretsy, as their creations can attest.
10	* DeadpanSnarker: Helen Killer.
11	%%* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[http://www.regretsy.com/category/someone-really-likes/ And]] [[http://www.regretsy.com/2011/03/21/the-goatse-collection/ how]].
12	* GiftedlyBad: Most of the "artists" and "crafters" featured on Regretsy.
13	* GrammarNazi: Helen Killer and most of the site's commentors. Not that you can blame them.
14	* HurricaneOfPuns: Tends to show up now and then, with various commentors playing off each other.
15	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The whole of Regretsy. They won't hesitate to make fun of crafters and their creations, but they have helped many struggling Etsyians through various means; usually through their charity shop, April's Army.
16	* InsultBackfire: E-mail and Facebook butthurt are common from the more sensitive sellers featured on the site. However, neither Helen nor the commenters tend to get too upset by this. In fact, one such insult was adopted as a nickname for Regretsy fans--fat jealous losers.
17	* PolishTheTurd: A favored marketing strategy by some sellers, who often give their item descriptions that are annoying, to say the least.
18	* PurpleProse: Some sellers are fond of using it.
19	* RougeAnglesOfSatin: It's "you're", not "your".
20	* Regretsy has a whole category dedicated to things that are '''NOT''' SteamPunk.
21	* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma
22	* WebFirst
23	* WorldOfSnark: Most of the commentors seem to be [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers]]. Combine that with a DeadpanSnarker of a creator and you get this trope.
