- Just wondering of you've even seen the movies, Spike? ---Maniac1075Complain Here 03:45, October 20, 2014 (UTC)
- I have not. I was not evaluating the movies. The Uncyclopedia page is a start-to-finish Anal Sex Joke. Spıke Ѧ 12:12 20-Oct-14
- Yeah, try watching them!---Maniac1075Complain Here 23:45, October 20, 2014 (UTC)
- No offence but... you are saying that the content of the movies somehow justifies the article's consisting entirely of sex jokes (and no, Spike, it's not just anal sex)? I can't really see that. Perhaps you could summarise the plot points you were parodying, for the benefit of us lazy bums who can't be bothered to watch the movies? ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 23:53 20 October 2014
- Actually nevermind--I read Wikipedia's article, and I really can't see either the value of turning it into one long sex joke or the attributes of the movie that inspired you to do so. Sorry. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 23:58 20 October 2014
- I still recommend watching the movie so you know what you're reading about. I can't see any reason someone who doesn't know what an article is about would find anything funny about it if they don't get it. If that's the case, I could spend the next week adding VFD to so many articles on this site.---Maniac1075Complain Here 09:41, October 21, 2014 (UTC)
- I know perfectly well what I'm reading about, as I said above. I could guess what the movie was about from your article, actually. There is nothing that can justify turning it into what you turned it into. Nothing. Besides, the article shouldn't require intimate knowledge of the subject matter to be comprehensible; if it does, and if many readers haven't got that knowledge, it probably shouldn't exist. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 13:38 21 October 2014
- Yeah cause alot of people just read random articles they know nothing about. My point is, it's not funny to you few people, yet the ones I showed it to found it pretty funny indeed. I just don't agree that the small majority of voters against something is able to rule out an article as being unfunny, just because it's not the type of humor they enjoy. So what it comes down to, is if it doesn't please you couple of people who have time to vote for peoples work to be deleted because you don't personally like it, that means it should not exist for those who do. right? I dunno, maybe it's non Australians not getting Australian humor? Too bad there is no Uncylcopedia.com.au I guess.---Maniac1075Complain Here 15:33, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. The author is treating a tricky topic, because getting blocked on Uncyclopedia has been treated and re-treated by many different authors, successfully or not. (Consider UnBooks:The sad fate of the banned users who escaped into a Sock puppet or Hardwick Fundlebuggy's Prison Journal, for instance) Unfortunately, this article adds no humour value to dozens of other pages and isn't particularly funny, all in all. But it has good rhyme. Anton (talk) 14:10, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. No, it is Gaynor's original that has a good rhyme. This article reminds us that Christmas is approaching and, with it, marketeers' belief that tweaking a carol into a jingle is the world's least-heavy-lifting method of gathering a commission. (To be picky, he was actually blocked from Wikipedia, but documenting one's reaction is navelism, not good comedy.) To boot, author signs his work, and apologizes in-line for not creating an audio.

- Obnoxious teenagers who talk to their parents like shit were caused by laptops. This article begins with the premises that laptops are useful for viewing porn and are 'three dimensional magic box[es]', then goes on to discuss... essentially nothing. It has been almost the same since it was rewritten in 2007; prior to that, it wasn't much better (It is project with much effort, but it not marketable and usable. Then he exploded.).

- Self-keep. I'll admit this is not my best article and it relies heavily on stupid humor, but is that necessarily a reason to delete it? SPIKE's critique was "Complete Feces Humor." I have to ask, so what? Because it's not high-brow, it's therefore not funny? Humor is subjective and if someone doesn't find poop funny, no article about poop will make them laugh. Someone who would be willing to read an article called Doody would be expecting childish poop jokes and in this case, they would not be disappointed. Even Anton stated that although he didn't find it funny, he thought it was "written cleverly." Isn't that basically like saying "This is good for what it is, but I personally don't like it"? Clearly, 11 people (ok, 10 I won't include my own vote) thought that this succeeded at its intended goal: To make some poop jokes in a fresh, new way. If you don't care for this kind of humor, that's fine, but deleting it only prevents other people who like this kind of humor from getting a quick chuckle. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 08:05, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
- Written cleverly doesn't necessarily mean it's funny. Sorry, Xam. I just don't see what's funny there. You say it's stupid humour. Ok. But where is it? Saying that someone made a doody isn't humour, not even stupid, childish humour, although a few people might laugh at that. Anton (talk) 14:03, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
- If you want me to personally point out every joke that isn't "Someone made a doody," I will. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 17:25, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, I admit that this article might have humour. Ok, has humour. I just personally don't find it funny. Anton (talk) 17:41, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
- So if you agree that it has humour but you personally don't find it funny, why vote Delete? I argue that one should only vote Delete if they think that there is no humour or the article is poorly written or something like that regardless of personal preferences. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 17:46, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

- Foreign-language humor. This article is a study in writing a page in the style of the novel 1984 — but not in writing any original comedy. Intro also instructs other Uncyclopedians in the supposed proper use of the templates author created (and Anton199 has revised). Spıke Ѧ 00:06 16-Nov-14
- Delete. Send it to Room 101. ConCass2 (talk) 09:22, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
- What's this, an attempt at summarising 1984 in Newspeak? I'm not seeing the humour. The only funny thing on this page, IMHO, is File:Unbook.jpg. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 17:28 17 November 2014

- Keep. On second thought, it isn't that bad. You just have to get into it, and Anton is right. The better stuff comes later. Perhaps, it could use a thorough editing and some rewriting but not deletion. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 17:54, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
- The article is unreadable. It's the same as the Pig Latin article that was on VFD just a while back - the humour is just the fact that it's unreadable. ConCass2 (talk) 10:24, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Oh? I can read it. If the problem is that you can't read it, I could provide a translated version as I did before. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 14:46 18 November 2014
- The problem is not that the obstacle is insurmountable. The problem is that the article is all about its own obstacle. Spıke Ѧ 15:29 18-Nov-14
- Keep. Political/social parody/satire is also funny. I think whomever wrote it did a very good job. It's along the lines of the Captain's Log article which is clearly derived and emulating a specific source but does definitely appeal to those who enjoy that source.

- Delete. It has it all: A tedious read without photos, hard to tell whether author is an ideologue or is ridiculing ideologues, had links to Facebook and YouTube apparently to hump an internet meme (until I deleted them), and is full of encyclopedia cliches. (Check out Section 2: "Other critics may have alleged....Many believe....It has been suggested....But clearly it is very likely possible...Legend has it..." Utterly not worth streamlining. Spıke Ѧ 21:20 13-Nov-14
- Delete. The intro is supposed to lure the reader in to the rest of the article. Here, the intro is literally factual, and the rest of it I can't tell if it's trying to be funny or just as factual. ConCass2 (talk) 09:25, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

- Despite my warning, Llwy-ar-lawr has been trying to streamline this. But what you wind up with is an "ism" whose only humor is its impossibility — that is, the fact that it is a page no one will look up — unless you came here from Facebook etc. to see if there is an article on this offsite meme.

- Delete. Dead Baby Humor has to be especially good to be funny. This article, by comparison, uses most of the trite themes in the book: Author discussing himself, author apparently with A.D.D., "nobody knows anything," listcruft, memecruft, history-of-the-future, and another list of Notable Sufferers, inviting cyberbullying and not being disappointed in the response.

- Article begins with an unimpressive sentence, explains in tedious detail why said unimpressive sentence is a comedic masterpiece, and ends with a gratuitous instance of {{USERNAME}}. Was voted onto the front page by a group of editors who are mostly no longer here. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 00:32 23 November 2014
- Navelism. Yes, it was a feature, a VFD moved to VFH by fallen-away editors who reveled in their freedom to feature a thoroughly bad article. That was not amusing the reader but self-amusement, a prank not a joke, and that goes for the article as well. No one will look for this transformation of Samuel L. Jackson's name, no one will laugh at the emphasis on Jackson's blackness, and after that sentence, no one will enjoy author's essay about trying to write an article. Spıke Ѧ 01:21 23-Nov-14
- Delete. Considering that there are already two save votes, this article probably won't go. But I reckon that this article would be much funnier if it were actually about Samuel L Vacuum as opposed to plain navelism along the lines of "here's why it's funny". ConCass2 (talk) 11:26, November 23, 2014 (UTC)

- A Classic. Hilarious and clever. This is not about writing an Uncyclopedia article. It's a parody of comedy writing in general and critique of the overuse of memes in place of actual jokes. This was one of the first articles I read on Uncyclopedia and one of the first to get me interested in this site, so I would think that there are others who find it amusing as well. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 02:21, November 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Mocking bad writing by imitating it simply produces a bad page. Your apparent knowledge of the point of this pointless article is not evident by reading the article. Spıke Ѧ 14:36 23-Nov-14
- New low. Deleting featured articles? Petty petty. I don't particularly like it but enough people voted for it to highlight the site that you can't outright delete it. --Nikau (talk) 06:28, November 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Some featured articles can be utter shite. This one isn't terrible, but if it was exactly as it is now and didn't have the "featured" at the top, it would be VFD material. ConCass2 (talk) 11:26, November 23, 2014 (UTC)
- This vote ought to be disregarded because it is based not on the quality of the article, but on an objection to the policy. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 17:02 23 November 2014
- More problematic is disparaging fellow voters ("Petty petty"), a trend I thought had stopped when Shabidoo threw his Wikia pass-key down the gutter. However, you started it with the comment below, which suggests that a goal was to purge the site of a specific author. I famously enforce civility not with creative vote counting but with the ban-stick. Spıke Ѧ 17:25 23-Nov-14
- I find it ironic that you would call Nikau's comment one that disparages other users and at the same time call my opinion of the article "apparent knowledge" that "is not evident by reading the article." That's a tad belittling, wouldn't you say? -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 21:17, November 23, 2014 (UTC)
- No I wouldn't, not ironic, not disparaging, and not belittling. I asserted that your statement about the point of the article is not evident from reading the article, that's all. Spıke Ѧ 22:18 23-Nov-14

- While it was created by Evilcorporatemetaljesus, it was rewritten by Mrmonkey72. Adding this because its original creator was mentioned in another discussion as having written this and other poor-quality articles. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 00:40 23 November 2014
