Revision as of 21:00, 13 August 2005
HAs anyone noticed that the entry on UP for "Misplaced Pages" is a spoof of this page? Clever. User:Charlie123
- Wrong, this page is a spoof of uncyclopedia. Me and my homocidal screaming carrot friends will be contacting our lawyers about this popyright violation!
If you can't laugh at something just click off the pages.
I'm going to tell you now, when this comes up on VFD (and it will) I will vote against. I think it should get special exeption on the grounds of "not taking ourselves too seriously". Seriously, go and read their version of you have two cows and Adolf Hitler. DJ Clayworth 15:56, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I'll also vote keep in that case, I find it funny;) —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 04:47, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
Also, keep in mind that Adolf Hitler is part of the Oprah Winfrey conspiracy. Check it out. --66.66.45.216 19:20, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Uncyclopedia rules! It's a joke and should be taken as such. It was never an attempt to rip on Misplaced Pages. People who complain about it really need to get a life. Cyberia23 22:13, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi guys! We're satire, but no way as useful. Misplaced Pages is awesome. :) --Chronarion 04:08, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
We only roast the ones we love. Misplaced Pages is as useful as Uncyclopedia is hilarious. And Misplaced Pages is very useful. When I need a resource, I use Misplaced Pages, but when I want satire, parody, or whatever type of humor the article is, I use Uncyclopedia. --Savethemooses 17:41, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Just discovered Uncyclopedia - great site, some excellent spoofs. Kinda cool that WP has been around enough to get the honour of a spoof, and even cooler to see it done well. The Misplaced Pages page in particular finds that great spot between truth and absurdity. Pcb21| Pete 10:53, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Do we know the name(s) of the founder(s)? They should be credited. AxelBoldt 00:04, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I would say the founders are Chronarion, myself and a few others. --Euniana/Talk 01:14, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I've been around since the beginning as well --PantsMacKenzie 22:53, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
- I haven't been around since the very beginning, but I did join in March and, quite frankly, I'm freakin' hilarious. :P --Savethemooses 17:44, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- I hadn't been back to UP for a while after the masses starting loading in, though I'm surprised where MichaelPlease and I's one night of fun with making Oprah articles has lead to... --ericasky 04:04, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
There appears to be a glitch with the website: is this temporary?
- No it's always that shit. --ElvisFromUncyc 7 July 2005 16:21 (UTC)
- Wait, are you saying UP is down? --Huffers 12:02, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
One of the best sentences on uncyclopedia: "Creationism - The idea that God was so bored out of his mind he spent 6 days creating everything on our planet, and for good measure put in several jokes to fool us into believing it must have taken him much longer." It's at this article: Rbarreira 21:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
I, for one, would be bitterly disappointed if any Wikipedian gets even slightly upset over Uncyclopedia (UP). If UP upsets you, then, frankly, you really need to lighten up. I think the UP is pricelessly funny, very clever and is in all ways a tribute to the success of Misplaced Pages. I also will be extremely annoyed if anyone tries to list this page for VFD. I know that some of UP's founders frequent this discussion page, and I wanted (as someone who was around in the founding days of Misplaced Pages) to express my huge respect for what you've put together. Manning 00:54, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Dear lord, the seriousness of this page and the lengthy research is by far as funny as uncyc :-P --70.107.211.23 02:09, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
I've moved this bit out of the main article as it is POV and possibly off-topic:
- On August 13th, 2005, Encyclopaedia Dramatica filed a DMCA request to Uncyclopedia to remove possibly infringing images and the ED logo, used on outbound links to ED. Legal matters are still being pursued.
There are no images alleged to be copied other than the æ ligature (which only appears in a template promoting ED by linking there from related articles in Uncyclo's main article space - now disabled, evidently) and the one bit of identifying info linking Sherrod DeGrippo (girlvinyl) to ED. See . Verifiability is an issue here given that neither site constitutes a credibly neutral source, even were this nonsense in any way encyclopædaic. --carlb 08:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
