The football part is just hilarious, but wouldn't the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have super powers or something? Snerlin (Talk) 16:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Too American-o-centric. No one else has any idea what sport you're going on about.Everyone really knows that The Teletubbies are really the invention of a vengeful Great Britain to use against the rest of the world (but especially the Colonies) for forgetting how wonderful The British Empire was.Ah, Revenge is sweet! And it serves you right for that pre-emptive attack on our televisions with stuff like "Barney & Friends". God! "Crap"'s more like it! Those bastard shows have been clogging up our television schedules for years! 62.252.192.5 (talk) 05:07, 22 March 2007
- So... just because it's about friggin American football means I can't write about it? Dang, I made two friggin soccer articles, be happy with what I give you. Drat! 18:25, 4 April 2007

- How in the world did this article get featured?74.134.98.79 (Talk)16 March 2007 (UTC)
- It was featured way back in early 2005, when featured articles hadn't evolved into what they are today. This article, in my opinion, has held up better than plenty of other 2005 FA's. 16:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

- Football is not that funny. You ought to mention the Tinky Winky controversy. 99.230.152.143(Talk) 16:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

UD crap
I found the following on Urban Dictionary, not sure if it is of any use:
"Baby gorillas, whom, because of their small and morbidly obese build, became perfect subjects for a top secret experiment dubbed, "teletubbies".
Kidnapped from their native habitat, they were strapped down hooting and screaming onto operation tables. Their stomachs were removed and replaced with a crude malfunctioning television set, which recieved its signals from a implanted attenna on the top of its head. Because the attenna's reciever must be outside of the body, a hole is drilled through the baby gorilla's brain, making a pathway to stick the electrical equipment through. Unfortunately, this only resulted in having the entire cast of teletubbies having the combined intelligence of tupperware.
To feed the disillusioned apes, a special diet consisting of purified ethanol (tubby toast), and lead paint oatmeal (tubby custard) to keep the seditious thoughts of the infants surpressed. A fake sun watches over them with a ensuringly peaceful baby's face on it to keep the tubbies close to their safety dome. When a tubby escapes, the sun makes a blood-curdling cry, calling upon the dome janitor, a robot vacuum cleaner named "snoo snoo" to hunt down and kill the escapee by devouring it with it's mighty vacuum, grinding the hapless tubby and using it's remains as fertilizer for the vast lush gardens surrounding the dome.
Occasionally when the time is just right, the tubbies may be able to recieve radio waves with their broken attennas, allowing them to eavesdrop on their human overseers, yet baffled by the simplest tasks we can do, such as showering or cooking an egg." Willy88 02:02, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Proof of Evil
Mathematical Proof that the teletubies are evil: Teletubbies consume time and money! Time is money! So time and money is money^2 (Squared) And money is the (square) ROOT of ALL EVIL. Which makes the Teletubbies pure evil. 76.10.131.81 (talk) 17:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Little known facts
As a pre-latin-latin student (not the normal latin that lawyers learn) I can tell you where the name Teletubbies come from.
Pre-latin-latin was the language that the Stone Age lawyers used. telet - The pet name given to Satan by Hades ubbie - My cousin The s in pre-latin-latin is not plural, but a term of endearment.
So, Teletubbies are Satan's little cousins.
If one of the good humor writers out there can twist the facts a bit to make it humorous, it'll be great. Dax (talk) 17:43, 6 January 2008
- Good stuff. I put it on there. 18:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Super Mario
Mr Alex, I tinkered with your edits so they fit the article better. You have to understand that this article is already perfect as it is, so attempting to add to it can at best make it just as good as it was before. I took out the silly nicknames for the Teletubbies (they already have nicknames that are silly enough) and I put a "see also" to your Stinky Winky article. I like how you associated Teletubbies with Mario characters (clever observation there) but once again, there's not a lot of room for improvement in this article, and trying to overload it with jokes will only make it worse. Cheers. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 01:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- So this means that the article Stinky Winky is now useless, so I allow an admin to delete it. -
Mr Alex 16:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's not useless. There's often more than one way to be funny about the same topic. Notice there are about fifty articles about Jesus, and two featured articles about Conservapedia. And it doesn't look like the Stinky Winky (fearsome god of the dwarven people?) article has anything to do with this article (football players who won championships for Notre Dame). So keep keep writing your own slant on Teletubbies (and leave this one where it is), and if it's good enough it will get recognized, or at the very least, not deleted. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 21:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
You are right, but I don't even know what to do with it, almost everyhing is the same exept for a few words. That's why I allow that the Stinky Winky article gets deleted.
Mr Alex 22:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Featured article
HELP ME GET IT TO A FEATURED ARTICLE PLEASE!I'M WORING ON IT!Tinkywinkyisgay 18:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
I have merged Tinky Winky with the Teletubbies.Also doing more expanding.Thanks!Tinkywinkyisgay 19:43, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
They have Televisions in their stomachs!
AAHH!I didn't see anything about the fact that the Teletubbies have televisions in their stomachs! They are "Teletubbies", after all. Perhaps this is related to their ability to destroy youths' minds? 98.180.210.196 (talk) 02:46, 28 September 2008
I put that in there. I also wrote up about them being gay pedophiles aimed to destory kids' minds via gayness and "hugging". Cheers!Tinkywinkyisgay 00:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Name Changes
Tinky Winky has become STINKY-WINKY, Dipsy is slowly hanging his name to DIPSTICK, Laa-Laa has taken on the name Large-Bra, and Po has added one extra o on his/her name (seriously, who's a boy and who's a girl?) becoming Poo. 202.74.212.54 talk 07:31, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- LOL!!!!!!!!! I'll add those to the list of nicknames (I have most of them). And Po is a girl. BTW: I have a thery on Teletubbies: We learned in school about the genes that determern wheather you are a boy or a girl and wheather your hair is strait ore curly. Well, Laa-Laa has a curly anntena, which chould be her hair, and Dipsy and Po both have strait antenas. But Tinky Winky has a triangle which means it's both (curly AND strait; BENT!) so this is proof that he is gay. This is probably why the triangle is the gay pride symbol. But then, this would mean Po is a boy too. Lol, maybe she's transexual! LOL!Tinkywinkyisgay 00:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- I have added the names not already mentened, and have mentened that they change their names alot. Cheers! Tinkywinkyisgay 01:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Bad version revert
User:TheLedBalloon reverted to a bad version of the article a few days ago. Removing Tinkywinkyisgay's edits dosen't make this page any less stupid. Not only that, but Teletubbies themselves? Saying they're stupid would be a comliment. Plus User:Colin "All your base" Heaney took a LONG time to deredlink everything. I would rerevert it but it's semi-protected. I have the version here at User:Falalalala/Article about stuff. I'm also making some more good edits to it as well. Thanks! Falalalala 21:41, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- Now dude... There is sock puppetry, and there is BLATANT sock puppetry. I mean man. Come on, you are not even trying here. Show some class eh? Sock puppets all over the country are turning in their graves over this rather sub-par performance. MrN
Fork you! 01:18, Nov 24
- The version of the article I reverted to was written by Savethemooses, one of best writers on Uncyclopedia, and was already voted to be featured on the front page. As such, it doesn't really require any rewriting, by you or any of your sockpuppets. Besides, simply insinuating that someone or something is gay isn't comedy, it's just dumb. STM's page at least had coherency going for it. If you want to rewrite a page, take a look at HTBFANJS, then try to give something in Category:Rewrite a makeover. Those are the pages that need to be re-done. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon

- Fuck you. It takes a long time to deredlink a page like this. U r so teh gheyz. Colin
ALL YOUR BASEHeaney! Casa Bey Superfly Portfolio 20:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- See, that was one reason why I wanted to rerevert. You meantened the sock puppentery. Does that mean you know who I'm a sock of? I was going crazy that day, when I asked to get blocked. I was drunk. I don't know WHAT I was thinkin'. Well it seems this is an almost unanamas opinion that this version was better. I guess I'll look at HTBFANJS. Also: about the probablems: The red link tag was solved, the featured tag was because I didn't know how to nominate it for VFH, the stupid tag was mainly because the Teletubbies themselves are mega-retarded (did my version look stupid? the Furby page is tagged for being stupid, so I thought this one was too), and the fabulous tag, was also for VFH. If STM is one of un's best writers (he made the page to begin with, and is also on Wikipedia), then maybe I should ask for help? Maybe I'm just not fit for Uncyclopedia. Oh well. Time to see the HTBFANJS, Falalalala 21:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- I've looked at it some, and they said that repetition can be good. Apparently this dosen't apply to saying that Tinky Winky is gay. They also said sometimes what comes closest to the truth is funny. The fact tag I gave was to idecate that like the broadcast listings were factual, and I don't think that was funny. Just a heads-up. I'm reading more now. Falalalala 21:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- It's good that you're reading. But, just to be clear, I (and I believe Leddy as well) will not allow further edits to this article - which is an already featured one by an esteemed writer of this site. What you can do, is start your own version under a different name (let's say - Teletubbies - a retrospective or something like that) rather than playing with something that already reached its peak in the view of the community here. ~

Oh well. How about A better look-Teletubbies? It's started. I'll move User:Falalalala/Article about stuff to the former title. Thanks! I'll also make: Real Teletubbies- sometime in the future. Also: I haven't finnished the HTBFANJS yet. Also see the Thai version of Teletubbies, (I don't knw Thai either) at [[1]]. The problem for me with the current version is it's not long enough, and not only that, but I merged many other Tubby articles into mine as well, should that be reverted too? Falalalala 21:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- Keep in mind that we need to keep it in encyclopedic style. So "A better look-Teletubbies" is not a good name. Try to give a scientific like name. ~ 21:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

- OK I'll go with your first suguestion. I actually thought about making an article about them that was seperate a long time ago, and moving this one to Teletubbies (Football Stars). Falalalala 22:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- The new article is currently in progress. I think if we can get a good enough version out of it (better than this one), than we can merge them. Otherwise, it'll stay like it is. Falalalala 23:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- Let's go over this again - featured article does not change (at least, not significantly). So no merging please. Just concentrate in your own article rather than changing this one. ~ 09:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

- To Colin: What does that exatly mean? Falalalala 20:24, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! My page was deleted!!!!! Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My birthday's in two days, btw o that you would care, lol. I'll be 14. Can someone send me a copy of my article or hack it up? I'd like it hacked up just once for a birthday present. That would mean alot. But then you probably don't care lol.

Protected
Why was this article protected? It would be nice to edit. 65.0.181.89 01:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- And how would you edit it? Are you Tinkywinkyisgay? I think I should ban you for being a sockpuppet, actually. If you are him, that is. I don't know, man, you kind of come off as having some kind of unhealthy obsession with this. Why? It's a god damn kids show for Christ's sake. Perhaps I am just misinterpreting your actions, but if you are that guy, you've made a bunch of stupid edits that's gotten you banned, and now look. What are you planning to do if I (and I won't) unblock this? I simply don't trust you. --

But this is just stupid. Please stop with the gay references. Though I must say, this page is great, but it could be longer.

- Lol@ both of your IPs coming from the same ISP and town according to http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/iplocation.asp?ipaddress=65.0.182.187 . Please give it up already. This article is NOT changing to match your "real teletubbies" vision no matter how many sockpuppets you use. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 02:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Wow I really am stupid. Don't know why I keep coming here. Yeah, no life. I'm banned on Wikipedia too, See this. I'm sure this ip will be blocked again, and remember those Totoro and Barney articles from back in July? Those were me. I decided that the Real Teletubbies and Teletubbies articles SHOULD be seperate, but this one could be longer. I just want to know what were the edits made that got it blocked and if it will get unblocked. If I leave it might, but unless I can do right (fat chance) or leave altogether, it will stay like this I'm sure. The only other reason I can think of is because someone else might request, but they would probably make an account anyway. I can't belive I even nominated myself for ban, though I already am. I started this thead before seeing my block log, and wanted to start a new topic as well as answer an old question. What I really want to do is add the he, hr, and th (an alternate one, that was a spoof of the movie 300) interwikis to this one, and remove the he and hr ones from my "real" version. Of course, this was before I was stupid enough to try banning myself, and before seeing the replys. By now I don't know what to do. It's hard to adapt this sort of humor, in reality, I don't think they're gay, but it doesn't seem to work anyway. Is my other article going to be deleted? And what about some other articles I'v made? I thought they were gay when I first found them on Wikipedia, but then they started top grow on me, and now it's a monstrosity. Oh well. I would come here less if I had more to do, and if I could edit Wikipedia instead of being banned. I see they reverted my lastest changes here too, would you have noticed if I hadn't started this thead? Also, please add the Wikipedia link as seen above to my userpage. I copyed the templates there from Sockpuppet of an unregistered user's user page. Then I though I'd see the nominations, only to see that it appers that everyone is nominating themselves. 65.0.167.144 21:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Dude... Get a girlfriend. Girls are far more pleasant than teletubbies. Or learn a new language while you're still young. Or start chewing bubblegum. Or anything to distract you from teletubbies. This obsession of yours is unhealthy. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 06:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- You seem like you're suffering from a bit of internet-nihilism, right now. Have you considered converting all that philosophical energy into something more productive, like internet-existentialism? That's the way to go, IMO. - T.L.B. WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN 06:07, Mar 3
