- The article on a shit pop boy-band seems incomplete, and has very little real content. Most of the humour seems to be adding random words in (terrorist, president and marijuana in the first sentence alone) and consists entirely of random "jokes". I recommend it be deleted.

Author GlobalTourniquet is a great writer, and former Editor-in-Chief of UnNews, but this article, a stereotype about an unspecified TV personality that no one will look up in the encyclopedia, doesn't get it done, squandering most of its mass explaining exactly why it is funny. No bonus points for even relating this to the stereotypically unfunny Japanese sense of humor. Spıke Ѧ 14:14 4-Sep-14

- Keep. Not sure if it is a joke or if the author actually didn't bother looking up the name of the person he was talking about, but I did and renamed the page. I think that the jokes there work pretty well (especially when related to the actual person) and the article is funny overall, though it has only one comedy theme.

The problem with story arcs is this: Humor is the highest value for an Uncyclopedian considering new edits to an article; and declining to apply an edit because SamTheAwesome wants Dolphin uprising to make sense when read alongside The Great Whale Invasion is a gigantic non-issue with which to burden any Uncyclopedian.

- Delete. Another article whose title demands that the reader type the exact joke he wants to read, to see if we ever wrote it. Recasting the USA as a socialist/Soviet country is trite to begin with, and in part simply true. What this article provides is an extremist version of what Obama wants to do with America.

- Comment. [1], this Wikipedia page seems to suggest that the USSA was not an invention of Uncyclopedia and therefore may be typed into our searchbar. I'll have a look at it and see what to touch up. Obama being a socialist is only a joke that Americans will get as Britain's current (already quite dismantled) welfare state (and many other countries') makes Obama's policies seem rather Conservative.

- And on 17 July 2007 an IP made a single edit, which was to spam an ad for Slackware into the article in a new section titled 'usage'. It sticks out like a sore thumb if you read that far. Apparently nobody noticed (maybe nobody's ever read that far in the article), since the section is still there, still just as serious and non-funny as it was the day it was plopped into the article. Snarglefoop (talk) 19:32, September 16, 2014 (UTC)
- I just read it, it isn't clear to me it's an ad, nor that it's unfunny, nor why it is funny if it is meant to be funny. A fifth Delete vote and no one has to answer this question. But you are free to try to improve an article while it is being voted on. Spıke Ѧ 19:51 16-Sep-14
- Eh hmmm.... I just re-read it, and I think I was wrong -- that section is 'way too over the top to be a serious ad for Slackware. Microsoft uses it internally, and the Debian project uses it for their servers -- yeah right. And out here in the real world, the shuttle
uses used IBM software, and IBM has its own version of Unix. So, I guess the author of that section took me in, at least. (And I'm still undecided on whether the article is salvageable which is why I voted neither yay nor nay.) Snarglefoop (talk) 20:03, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

- With a fairly simple Python script and one edit every day or two, you should be able to replace, say, every 10th character in the old article with the corresponding character from the new version, and then, a day or two later, replace another slice of 10% of the article, and so forth, proceeding until the whole article is replaced over the course of a couple weeks. That way you're never replacing more than 10% of the text at a time, and there's never a need to take it to VFD. (Of course, anyone who tries to read it when you're about halfway through this process may have some heavy going, but whatever -- maybe you should stick a note on it to the effect that you're working it over while you're doing this, just to prevent, eu, you know, surprises...)

Keep. Sorry to counter all of you, but I feel like this article should stay. It isn't something that can make you laugh or even smile. Yet, it's humour, the one that shakes your principles and then mocks you, pointing a finger in your face. This is what you can find in UnBooks:Guns don't kill people ... people kill themselves (by the same author). That wouldn't be enough to save it, but I feel like there's a lot more to the page than it seems at a first glance. In my opinion, the main joke is that, no matter how disturbing Shabidoo's writing might be, the reader is still going to be interested in reading it till the end, just to know what limits the author has set to himself or whether he has actually set any (hint: he hasn't).

- I am more comfortable with "intolerant" than "random." If a bigot wants to write a truly entertaining article, fine. This one starts out with a fanboy intro, a big long list where none of the items are developed but most are simple slaps expected to be funny on their own; and ends with a gigantic UnScript of hilarious bickering between opposing caricatures playing out in some Uncyclopedian's mind. But I'm not yet convinced it couldn't acquire a comedy strategy. "of All Time" in the title is surplus. Spıke Ѧ 02:46 21-Sep-14
- I'm not comfortable with intolerance (unless it's a parody), there's a line between taking the piss and being hateful. On second viewing this isn't too intolerant, but it is still offensively unfunny. I despise most of the 100 lists because they're always about 75 entries too long and 3/4 entries are filler. --Nikau (talk) 04:06, September 21, 2014 (UTC)
- I don't know... some of the list items are sort of funny. There shouldn't be so much bold text, though. And it's one of the 'Worst 100 of All Time' things, hence the title and the listness.

- Hmmm Actually there's one bit which might be salvageable, which is the idea that the black and white pieces represent characters in a race riot (OK it doesn't exactly say that in the article but it hints at it). Tie that in with the (real) origin of chess somewhere sometime in India, and with the invasion of India by some (presumed) white tribe or other at the end of the Bronze Age and there might be a hook to hang something on. Maybe throw in some obscure references to the caste system as India's apartheid, and voila, an article with jokes that only an anthropologist would get. Oh, well, whatever....

- The problem is not that the Emo fashion is now out-of-fashion. We could have an article on Lava lamp; but an article Lava Lamp University or War of the Lava Lamps might not even be saved by good writing. Author lives on, through his other Uncyclopedia contribution, Samuel L. Vacuum, a made-up person who becomes a springboard for navelism about what it's like to write an article — God-help-us, a Featured Article that we aren't supposed to touch. Spıke Ѧ 12:50 21-Sep-14
- Is there any reason we're not supposed to touch featured articles, other than 'because I said so'? On Wikipedia they can be de-featured, and presumably they can be taken to AFD any time you like. I see no reason why we shouldn't work the same way. If any ballot-stuffing goes on we can always strike the undesirable votes. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 13:57 21 September 2014
- FA status doesn't amount to much anyway. It goes in a big category, the end. As for the article, fads are nothing like historical events or objects. Nudge nudge humor about an ancient joke isn't funny with nothing to back it up. Something like Kennedy being a womanizer is in the public consciousness today and so jokes about that work, the behavior of an old highschool clique isn't so they don't. --Nikau (talk) 15:01, September 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, all FA status amounts to is immunity from deletion, which increasingly seems to me to be rather a bad thing. I'm not fond of Samuel L. Vacuum either, since it goes on and on about itself and I prefer articles that don't try to give themselves away. If it weren't featured it might be deletable, since most of the people who voted for it on VFH aren't here anymore.

- Delete. As with The things your family doesn't know (nominated above), author (who has shut down his account across Wikia) uses non-standard typography and excruciatingly slow development to make the reader read too far to understand there is no humor, there was never going to be humor, it is about murder rather than humor, and author is too swell to simply work on a satire encyclopedia. Prank ≠ funny. Spıke Ѧ 19:38 22-Sep-14
- I read this a while back when it was up for VFH on the fork. I didn't find it funny, but I voted for it anyway because I felt like it was one of those articles that I was supposed to find funny, you know? ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 19:55 22 September 2014

- Keep. That's not about murder, but suicide. The main joke comes at the end, or at least, I think so, when the narrator says how much he hates his wife, even though she is already dead. It won't make you laugh, but there is still some humour. Anton (talk) 16:29, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

- If a joke is repeated enough times, it becomes its own antithesis and this results in either blowing up the universe or very large amounts of nothing. This article demonstrates the latter outcome. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 03:05 26 September 2014

- Lewis Nigel Machadaynu Black was born in the Xen border world. At the youthful age of 74, Black fulfilled his minute-long desire for trans-dimensional travel by teleporting to Earth following the events of Half-Life. He became an American citizen and bought a small plot of land in Nebraska where he grew corn for two years. Then at the age of sixteen discovered that he was a distant cousin of Adolph Hitler. He later began meeting with Hitler and began to spew out his plans on how to exterminate dem' JOOS. Then later discovered that he was in fact a JOO, then assassinated Hitler, Hitler did not shoot himself like the canadian government would like you to believe. ...Quite. --Nikau (talk) 07:48, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. It's enough to see the title to say that, most probably, this article is going to be more random than funny. Still, the author could exploit it in a very clever and original way. He didn't.

- One of the earliest things I remember about this site back in 2009 was the ridiculous amount of fictional Hitler articles. So Delete.. Also, this article points out it is designed to offend, which instantly shows that rather than trying to amuse the reader, it will attempt to shock the reader, so no humour is needed. Of course, it fails at doing that as well, which leaves an article with nothing to salvage except for the cool pictures. ConCass2 (talk) 20:19, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
