Welcome to the Mother Ship of amateur comedy writing! (Amateur means we don't pay you to do it.)
This is where the original Uncyclopedia wound up. You might as well pick a user name. We have no "partners" that want to sell you stuff. Giving your email simply lets you recover your password; we don't send spam. Uncyclopedians get a talk page, private edit area, and a welcome, maybe, if you actually edit; and we won't de-platform you for your views, if they're funny.

From Pee Review[edit]
I just did an overhaul on this one, and added some more pics. I like it, but I still think some feedback would be cool. --THINKER 22:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
| Humour: | 8 | I actually lol'd! Wow! |
| Concept: | 6 | Not what I would expect to be a great article, but in fact it is awesome. |
| Prose and formatting: | 9 | My favorite part of this probably: The captions on the images are really what make them great. Love the prose. Couple of red links hurt the formatting tho. |
| Images: | 9 | All great. Rosie, not so much, but hey- I love it. |
| Miscellaneous: | 9 | This article is worthy of a nine |
| Final Score: | 41 | I really enjoyed this. I couldn't help but notice the red link for "poodle skirt" maybe you should do an article on it. I did fix a couple of the red links btw, but there are a couple others that need fixing. Great Job! |

Odd stuff[edit]
Okay, so saying that Bill Nye was a historian and that Thomas Edison was a sculptor made some sense in context... but is the date of Reagan's presidency deliberately off? Nixon was president during the times mentioned, not Reagan. If there's a joke there, could someone explain it to me? — Sir Wehp! (t!) (c!) — 07:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- This draws on a principle tenant of subtle humor. Its the idea that the outlandish, blatantly false statements are especially funny when presented as unfaltering fact. Its dry delivery of a screwball statement; when one detaches from the hard details and accepts the inherent nonsense of the work, these instances can be hilarious (given the nature of Uncyclopedia, I would've thought it to be nearly foundational). This article is a parody, not a satire.
- In fact, the Edison and Nye parts fall under the same category; when a flat-out falsehood is presented as a whole truth, it has the potential to be funny. This is of course perceived differently by different people. You can change it to Nixon if you'd like though Wehp :) --THINKER 08:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
